Please leave… What are you…”
Then, the forces beating her and yanking her clothes seemed to disappear. All that was left was wailing.
Just then, someone picked her up, and she heard a gentle voice. “Miss Theller, I’m sorry that you got hurt. I’ll send you to the hospital right now.”
Valda Theller finally opened her eyes reluctantly. She was greeted by an unfamiliar woman’s face.
The woman was in her 30s. She looked smart and capable.
“Who… are you?” Valda Theller asked with difficulty.
“I’m-” Before the woman had time to answer, Queenie Mack had rushed over with her assistant and said, “Who are you? Do you know we’re filming right now? Where are the security guards? Get them out of here!”
Her plan was about to come to fruition, but it was ruined by these people who appeared suddenly. How could she not be mad?
All she wanted was to run up and slap the woman.
However, even after Queenie Mack shouted for a while, no security guards came. The burly men in black that the woman brought over surrounded Queenie Mack and the extras who beat up Valda Theller.
The woman said to her men, “Call the police. Tell them that there has been a case of assault!”
“Yes,” one of the men immediately took out his phone and called the police.
When the extras, who were punched to the floor, heard they were calling the police, they immediately struggled and said, “We were acting… How is that assault?”
“Tell that to the police!” the woman said.
Queenie Mack said bitterly, “Who are you? Since when do you get to control what goes on in our set?”
“I’m Estelle Rowe, an executive assistant of Hart Group. Don’t I have the right to control what goes on around here?” Estelle Rowe sneered as she looked at Queenie Mack.
The whole crew was stunned as soon as she said that. The country’s film and television industry could be said to be ruled by Hart Group, which occupied most of the businesses in .
the industry. Therefore, its president was called the crown prince of the entertainment industry.
Even the male lead, Gloria, was an artist of Hart Group’s talent agency. If a TV show wanted to get on satellite TV, they could not avoid Hart Group.
At the very least, even the film studio everyone was in belonged to the Hart family!
To put it bluntly, this was the Hart family’s territory!
“The president is concerned about this film. He asked me to check it out when he heard that some actors had gone on strike. I didn’t expect to see such a thing. What’s the matter? Is the film crew trying to kill someone in this film studio?” Estelle Rowe said sharply.
The director hurried forward. “We didn’t expect the extras to truly beat her up. We asked them to fake it!”
Estelle Rowe chuckled. “If you couldn’t even notice it, that just means you’re not a good director.”
The director’s face turned red instantly.
However, Estelle Rowe’s next remark made the director feel like he was hit in the head. “Also, the actors who went on strike today can forget about ever stepping into this film studio again!”
Everyone gasped as soon as she said that.
After all, the film studio in Emerald City was the largest in the country. More than 70 percent of the country’s films were shot here. If these actors were not allowed to enter the film studio, it was tantamount to killing their acting careers.
“That’s too much. Why?”
“Yeah, why?”
Some of the actors who went on strike with Queenie Mack today immediately panicked. They only did that to please Queenie Mack. After all, rumors had it that she had a powerful backer. If they got on her good side, perhaps they could get some resources from her.
They did not expect it to turn out like this.
“It’s because the film studio belongs to the Hart family.” Estelle Rowe once again silenced the voices with one statement.
Estelle Rowe ignored the others and only asked her men to pick up Valda Theller so that she could quickly be sent to the hospital.
Camille Strickland was stunned, unable to believe her eyes.
She thought Valda was in serious trouble this time, but someone came to Valda’s rescue!
Besides that… It was a group of people that came to her rescue!
‘What the hell is going on here? Why did the executive assistant rescue Valda? It’s evident that the woman’s helping Valda.’
Camille Strickland had too many questions on her mind.
After Estelle Rowe left with Valda Theller, many of the actors involved in the strike rushed to Queenie Mack and asked, “Miss Mack, now what?”
“We went on strike because you told us to, but now, we’re not allowed to step into the film studio. How are we going to star in films in the future?”
“Miss Mack, you gotta help us!”
Queenie Mack was already flustered when she was surrounded by this bunch of people. Just as she was ready to squeeze out of the crowd to leave, the extras knocked down to the floor by Estelle Rowe’s men shouted too.
“Miss Mack, we did what you told us to do. Assault? We didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t let the police arrest us!”
“Miss Mack, didn’t you say you have a lot of connections? Even if something does happen, you gotta fix it! You gotta help us deal with it when the police come!”
“You asked us to do this. You said Valda Theller annoyed you and asked us to take off her clothes. We told you it was inappropriate, but you just…”
The more these people spoke, the more Queenie Mack was exposed.
Everyone in the film crew instantly understood what had happened earlier.
Some people thought the extras lost control and stopped faking 1. However, it turned out to be real in the first place. They even planned to take off her clothes.
Queenie Mack was the mastermind of all this.
Many people immediately looked at Queenie Mack with disapproval. Some even rejoiced in her misfortune. After all, Queenie Mack had always been arrogant, and many people disliked her.
The producer was already overwhelmed by the chaos. If everyone involved in today’s strike was banned from the film studio, the producer would either have to replace these actors or move elsewhere.
Gosh, how did this happen? The producer felt like killing themselves!
It did not take long for the police to arrive. There was a police station just a few hundred meters from the film studio, so the police arrived quickly.
They took the extras who beat up Valda Theller and Queenie Mack back to the police station.
After all, according to the extras, it was all set up by Queenie Mack.
Queenie Mack was no longer as arrogant as before. Facing the police who wanted to take her away, she struggled like a shrew and even wanted to hit the police.
“Do you know who I am? If you touch me, forget about staying in the police force!”
However, her threats had no effect. She was even forced into the police car because she refused to cooperate. After they were taken away, the place quieted down.
The director and the producer looked at each other. There was no way they could continue filming at this point. They had to take the day off and figure out a solution.
Raymond Bowman had mixed feelings right now.
He only found out that it was not fake and that Valda was really being beaten and kicked on set after Estelle Rowe rescued Valda Theller.
He had seen something like this before. At the time, he chose to turn a blind eye and escape.
What about now? How was this any different from the decision he made back then?
He had watched others do that to her without doing anything!
He suddenly recalled how Valda Theller had resisted and tried to escape earlier. She even looked at him…
Raymond Bowman’s heart gave a sudden twitch when he thought of that.
