A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 72 Make A Suggestion

Julia read the script and found that they were going to shoot the scene between her and Lisa. In the sequence, the heroine confronted her character after finding her drugging the hero's drink.

Director Guo gave instructions to Lisa and Julia. Since this was her only chance in the industry, Julia intently listened and wanted to make a good performance.

"Director Guo," Lisa called out. "I understand your instructions. However, after I read the script, I noticed that the heroine becomes strong and independent compared to the beginning when she was soft and gentle. I think that the opportunity for my character to develop starts in this scene."

"You are right." Director Guo nodded his head and smiled in agreement. "That's why I asked Jean to come here today. I think it's necessary to change some parts here. But I'm not sure how to change them."

"Director Guo, can I make a suggestion?" Lisa asked.

"What is it?"

"I think the supporting role should be proud when she admits what she did. No matter how kind the heroine was, she realizes that she must fight back. She had been downhearted after going abroad, especially since she was disappointed with her boyfriend. Now that she realizes the truth, she needs to vent out her anger. It might be good for her to slap the supporting role." Lisa deliberately turned to smirk at Julia, giving her a bad feeling.

Director Guo frowned and asked Jean to come over. He informed her about the idea Lisa proposed and said, "I think it's better to make the changes here, but I need your opinion."

"Well..." Jean looked at Julia with a malicious smile on her face. Although she planned to insert this change, she didn't expect Lisa to be the one to bring it up.

Director Guo noticed Jean's hesitation and commented, "You don't have to worry about anything else. Do you think it is okay?"

"Of course it is okay. I just..." Jean frowned and looked at Julia. "Julia, I have to change the scene. Will you be mad at me?"

"How come?" Before Julia could say anything, Lisa interrupted with a cold smile. "Julia is a professional actress. Since we are actresses, we must do our best. We change the script to get better results, so I'm sure Julia won't contest this suggestion, right?"

Director Guo looked at Julia, and softly said, "I know it's against the rules to change the script within such a short time, but we are all doing it for the good of this play, you see..."

"Lisa is right, Director Guo. We are actresses. I understand that everyone is doing this for the best of the TV series, so I won't object," Julia said with a small smile.

"Okay." Director Guo nodded. "Don't worry. Lisa's hand won't land on your face."

"How can that be done?" Upon hearing this, Lisa snorted in annoyance. "Director, many actors in our industry like to use a stunt double, but the audience can figure out. We all know that Julia is deeply involved in scandals and is aiming to turn the tables through this play."

She laughed with scorn and continued, "We have to make this TV series a success. If my land doesn't land on her face and the audience notice it, it will ruin Julia's reputation as well as ours. By then, Julia will not only be unable to succeed, but also become even more infamous."

She sighed and faced Director Guo. "I think that I need to slap her for the good of the play and for Julia's own sake. What do you think, Julia?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Lisa's remarks sounded reasonable, so nobody dared to refute back.

However, Julia knew that this drama was meant to torture her, one that she couldn't escape from.

"But..." Director Guo hesitated. Just as he was about to say something, Julia politely interrupted, "Lisa is right. Everything needs to be perfect, so I agree."

"Well, once you're ready, we can start right away," Director Guo announced with great composure.

Lisa walked towards Julia and scoffed, "Just wait and see. I'll let you suffer."

She walked away leaving Jean and Julia alone.

Seeing that nobody was around them, Jean looked at Julia smugly and revealed, "Terence stayed with me last night."

"Really?" Although Julia felt her heart twitching, she pretended to remain calm. "Congratulations. Please don't tell me when the wedding will be held. I will never give you my blessing."

"Julia, do you still love Terence?" Jean scoffed with sarcasm. "I advise you to figure out who you are. Terence is mine. You don't deserve him."

"Don't worry." Julia rolled her eyes at Jean's complacent face, and snapped, "I'm tired of Terence. If you like him so much, then take him. Stop bothering me already.

I only have one request. Now that you've gotten what you want, please stay away from me. I don't want to have anything to do with you or Terence."

"Aren't you jealous?" Jean quizzically stared at her. She did everything she could to irritate her sister, but Julia continued to remain calm. It was as if she didn't care at all.

"Jealous?" Julia sarcastically laughed. "Jean, you have such a good fiance. There are so many other women who are jealous of you. I don't understand why you care so much about my

feelings."
