Chapter 102: Then Replace Her
Natalie Vaughn frowned, threw the sword to the ground, and beckoned to Summer Churchill.This feeling was all too familiar to her, a typical ligament strain. She had previously injured herself during training when she wasn’t careful, and that time she stayed in the hospital for half a month.
Natalie wasn’t sure about the extent of the strain and didn’t dare to move carelessly.
Summer had already rushed over and quickly supported Natalie. Seeing Natalie’s pale face, her heart skipped a beat.
"Nina, how are you?"
Natalie couldn’t speak. The person unstrapping her wire harness was a bit rough, and Zoe Chandler, more experienced than Summer, immediately stopped the staff.
"The waist might be strained, be careful."
Since wire work requires core strength from the actor’s abdomen and it’s a martial arts scene, the actor’s waist and hips are prone to injury. The crew also keeps a wheelchair around.
Director Gable saw the wheelchair being used and rushed forward.
"Vaughn, are you hurt?"
Natalie nodded, then looked at Laura Young, who was stunned on the spot. She could control it during practice, but why did something go wrong during the actual shoot?
Natalie couldn’t be wrong; the hatred in Laura’s eyes earlier wasn’t simply because of the role.
There was no martial arts guidance during actual shooting, and Laura clearly wanted to create such a scene deliberately. If Natalie hadn’t reacted quickly, the sword would have really stabbed her.
Even if it wasn’t a real sword, with such force, she would have suffered a lot. Natalie was in a terrible mood.
She tore up the pretense in front of the entire crew, even though she had never intended to maintain a friendly relationship with the so-called "family" of the company.
"If you can’t control such strength, why be an actor? Laura Young, you’d better not provoke me. You might be careless, but I can be careless too. Don’t regret it if your face gets ruined."
Laura was dumbfounded.
She never imagined that Natalie would speak such words in front of so many people.horne surely knew as well.
She no longer needed to feign being miserable; she truly was.
Natalie took the phone from Zoe and called James Vaughn back. However, what puzzled her was Zane Thorne’s lack of response.
No calls or messages.
When she had only pretended to be injured, Zane had been pained over it; it didn’t make sense for him to have no reaction to real news of her injury.
Natalie suddenly had a thought; could Zane be coming over here? But she reconsidered; she’d only been here a day. If Zane rushed over, it’d seem too much like an obsessive romantic couple.
The pain was too severe, Natalie didn’t have the energy to think and was too lazy to bother.
Natalie stopped looking at her phone, closed her eyes to ease her waist pain.
After a while, Natalie suddenly opened her eyes.
"Can Laura Young earn a lot of money?"
Zoe was in contact with the hospital and paused upon hearing this.
"Not particularly; The Langdon Group has many more profitable talents."
Natalie nodded.
"Would changing the second female lead be troublesome?"
Zoe:...
"Naturally, it would be."
But if President Langdon intervened, any trouble could be resolved.
Moreover, Laura was part of The Langdon Group; transferring the second lead role to another company artist wouldn’t be too complex. Besides, the second lead’s role wasn’t particularly large, and filming had just started.
Changing people would bring some hassle, but it was absolutely doable.
Zoe initially thought her answer would let Natalie give Laura a break, but didn’t expect Natalie to close her eyes and casually say:
"Then change her."
Zoe paused.
"Shall I call President Langdon now?"
"No need, he knows what to do."
Natalie couldn’t stand any flaws, seeking revenge with intensity. Her pain was severe now, and her mood was adverse. If she hadn’t reacted quickly, it was uncertain if she could speak normally at this moment.
Even if she didn’t say anything, Felix Langdon knew what needed to be done.
Not to mention, there was Zane Thorne.
