Shirley trotted to the front and intimately held Leia’s arm.
After she angled herself towards the best shooting angle for the camera, she started to act sweet and kind.
“Miss Osborne, I’m the fixed guest of this show, so I know this place better than you.
Just follow me.”
Goosebumps prickled Leia’s skin, and she immediately pulled her hand away.
“Yeah, I’m sure you know this place well.After all, you sleep in town at night, and even ask the local villagers to carry you out of the village.Of course, you’ll know the place.”
Shirley’s expression turned livid.
“Miss, are you making a joke? I didn’t do that.I sleep in the village at night.”
“Ah, so what if you sleep in town? You don’t have to hide it.You’re an actress, so I’m sure you just want to memorize your script in a better place.I’m sure the audience can understand your situation!”
Leia criticized Shirley, but none of the camera crew tried to stop her.
On the contrary, they became quite excited because they were annoyed by Shirley putting on airs.
They had to wake up early in the morning and they had to spend a long time waiting for her to come back to the village from town.
It was ridiculous! Previously, no one had dared to say anything about it, but unexpectedly, the new guest was pretty bold.She scolded Shirley in front of the cameras, which made the cameramen satisfied.
“You, stop that nonsense! The camera is rolling!”
Shirley gritted her teeth and warned Leia.
The cameraman gave them a thumbs up as if he was eager for some drama.
“It’s fine, you guys can say whatever you want.We’ll edit and delete any unnecessary footage later.”
Leia smiled.
“Yeah, they’ll delete it, so calm down…You want to go with me, don’t you? Hurry up.Let’s talk alone.”
She looked around and found that the other celebrities were far behind them.
Even Xavier was gasping for breath as they hiked up the mountain, and was walking at a distance from them.
“What…What do you want to talk about?”
Shirley became guilty and did not dare to go forward.
“Of course, we’re going to talk about picking mushrooms!”
Leia suddenly grabbed Shirley’s hand and ran forward, leaving the cameraman behind.
“Come! There are a lot of red and white mushrooms ahead of us.First come, first serve!”
“Stop, stop pulling me.Let go.”
Shirley noticed that Leia did not want to let her off the hook.She didn’t want to run but Leia pulled her, so she had no choice.
Leia stopped when she saw they had left everyone behind.
“Let me ask you one last time.Why did you conspire with the hospital to harm Quinton? You hold no grudge against him, so why did you do such a wicked thing?”
“Hmph! It’s useless even if you interrogate me, I just passed the message along.The mastermind is hiding safe and sound and watching us fight with each other,” Shirley sneered, her sweet and kind act gone.
“What do you mean?”
Leia’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked, “So, you’re saying that there’s someone else involved in this?”
“What do you think?” Shirley glanced at Leia.
“You’re right—I don’t know Quinton, so there’s no reason for me to harm him.I just made a call and the doctor made his decision.”
“What call did you make? Who asked you to make the call? Tell me!”
Leia anxiously grabbed Shirley’s shoulders and interrogated the latter fiercely.The cameraman who caught up with them happened to catch that scene.
Shirley saw a chance and took it.
“Ah!”
She screamed and fell backwards.She was on a slope, so she tumbled down it.
“Shirley, are you okay?”
Xavier caught up to them, and quickly went to help Shirley.
Shirley rolled for a while before she hit a stone.Her head was bleeding, and her ankle was sprained.
“Ah, it hurts so bad! Is my leg broken?”
“No, you’re going to be fine.It’s just a sprain.”
Xavier inspected Shirley’s leg before he took off his coat.He used his coat and a straight branch as a makeshift cast, then leaned down and carried her on his back.
Leia was scared out of her wits.She just wanted to get to the bottom of this.She hadn’t pushed Shirley, but the angle of the shot made it appear like she had purposely pushed Shirley down the hill.
“How…How is she?”
Leia swallowed, her face pale.
“Get out of the way!”
Xavier carried Shirley and pushed Leia aside, then said coldly, “You’re out of line today.It’s very disappointing.”
“I didn’t…”
Leia wanted to explain but Xavier had already left with Shirley on his back.
Leia sighed helplessly, feeling like there was no need to explain.
They spent the morning together going up the hill.
Xavier ignored Shirley but was very attentive to Leia, and Leia had thought that she could replace Shirley in his heart.
Now, it seemed like she was too naive.She could never surpass Shirley—she was just a tool Xavier used to make Shirley jealous.She had overestimated herself.
The other celebrities witnessed that scene too, and were baffled.
