A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 242 No Misfortune If You Did Not Ask For It (Part One)

The men in the room were frightened and wanted to run away. But it was too late. When Zac gave him a heavy punch, he fell to the ground with a groan. His face and nose bone, and teeth were broken.

"Be gentle. Leave him a chance to speak." Jim sneered.

"I only used three percent of my strength. I will only cripple him and not kill him." Zac's eyes became bigger and colder.

Jim's assistant, Henry, turned on the light and poured a basin of ice water on the man's face. He spat out the blood on his face to make sure he could identify who he was. As Jim's right-hand assistant, he clearly remembered every face in the crew, including the group play, body double and special technical personnel that was temporarily invited.

"Boss, he is David, new member of the special technical team."

Jim took a chair and sat beside him, crossing his legs. "Tell me, who gave you orders?"

David was so frightened that his whole body was shivering and his piss came out. "It is... It is..."

The next morning, everything went well in the studio, as if nothing had happened.

After Eva put on her makeup, she was going to shoot a on the suspension bridge.

Melanie and Wendy waited on the other side. When Eva came down from the suspension bridge, they would enter the scene that the three of them fought together.

When the staff put a ladder for Eva and invited her to go to the suspension bridge, Jim's voice came from the camera, "Change the story for the moment. Melanie, Wendy, you two go to the hanging bridge too. When you walk over, Eva will go then."

Melanie paused, "Why do you change the plot? I... I have acrophobia, I don't want to go."

Wendy's face turned pale. "No need to change the script. Director, just follow the original script, okay? I also fear of heights. I'm even afraid of taking a plane."

With his arms crossed over his chest, Jim squinted his eyes. His eyes were sharp and maroon. He didn't feel angry but powerful. "OK. Your acting is over now."

Before his voice faded, Wendy ran to the foot of the ladder and tried to climb up. Everyone in the entertainment circle knew that if they had offended King Jim, they had to get out of the entertainment circle.

When Melanie looked up and see Wendy who was on the ladder, her fluttering eyelids became relaxed.

Wendy stood at the hanging bridge and took a deep breath before slowly walking forward. She really had acrophobia, and her legs were trembling slightly. Fortunately, she was dressed in a thick skirt, which could not be seen by video.

The bridge was eight meters long. Wendy walked cautiously for a long time before she came over.

When she breathed a sigh of relief, someone panicked.

Jim saw the expression on her face. He did it on purpose. Wendy was only five feet twelve inches tall. And weight less than forty kilogram. She was very small. Even if the rope was cut, she would be fine to go over. But as she stepped on it, the capacity of the rope was decreased. People behind her must be in trouble.

Melanie's legs became soft and she couldn't get up from the chair.

"Melanie Ma, it is you turn now," Jim said slowly.

"I have acrophobia, very serious. I can't walk. I want a body double," Melanie said in a trembling voice, hands on the back of the chair.

Her abnormal reaction confused everyone in the crew. How could she have a body double for such kind of suspension bridge? Even kids of the naughty castle dared to walk through it. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Wendy's smocking voice came over, "Excuse me? You actually asked for a body double for walking on such a drawbridge? It's not a steel wire. I have acrophobia too. I already walked over. What are you afraid of?"

Her assistant brought her a glass of ice water to calm her down. She had never seen Melanie in such an agitated and hysterical reaction before. "Melanie, it's just a drawbridge. Don't worry. There's air cushion under."

"No, I want a body double. Go and find one for me now," Melanie cried.

Jim took a sip of the iced water unhurriedly. "Go upstairs or get out of the entertainment circle. Make a choice yourself!" His tone was as light as a goose feather, but his killing power was as strong as a bomb.

All the people on the scene shivered, and no one dared to touch the bottom of a tiger. They didn't dare stand up to say a word for Melanie, and it was obvious that Melanie was aggressive in nature. If she put on airs in front of King Jim, wouldn't it be equivalent to calling him boss in front of the emperor? Risk your neck!

Eva sneaked to Essie and whispered, "What's going on?"

Essie patted Eva's shoulder and said, "Let's just wait and see."

"Rumor has it that she is King Jim's girlfriend? It seems that it is fake." Eva snickered. Seeing Melanie's pale face, she had an unspeakable pleasure. She still remembered that Melanie put on a show and slapped her in the face just to vent her anger on her. She thought, 'Who told you to avenge me in the name of public interests? Now that King Jim is taking care of you. You are out of luck now."

"Really? I don't know that. But it must be past its due date." The corners of Essie's mouth turned upwards again.

At that time, Melanie was shivering in horror, as if she was summoned by death.

"Melanie, pull yourself together and face it bravely. Don't offend King Jim for such a trifle." Terrified, her assistant tried to talk her out of it.

Melanie stood up gingerly, holding on to the back of the chair and climbing the ladder to the hanging bridge at the speed of a turtle. She dawdled for a long time before she began to move forward, while murmuring, "God bless me."
