Plans that hurt the enemy while costing oneself were never wise.
Sienna’s gaze returned to the set.
Melody was kneeling on the ground, both hands cupping a teacup. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she carefully raised it
toward Michelle.
“Your Majesty, please have some tea.”
Michelle delicately lifted the cup with an exaggeratedly elegant hand. The moment the tea touched her lips, she spat it straight out.
The tea splashed across Melody’s face.
Michelle snapped, “Are you trying to scald me to death?”
Tea trickled down Melody’s cheeks. She froze for a second, her eyes widening in shock. She was clearly not fully in character
yet.
“Cut!” Carl called out.
“Ms. Foster, when the tea hits you, your reaction should be humiliation and restraint, not surprise. Got it?”
Melody nodded stiffly. Shannon rushed over with a towel to wipe her face.
On the second take, Michelle deliberately took a huge mouthful of tea, her cheeks puffed out before she spat it out forcefully.
Melody’s entire face was soaked this time. Some of the tea even ran into her mouth. She finally couldn’t take it anymore and wiped her face in frustration.
“Michelle, isn’t that a bit much? Enough is enough.”
Michelle lounged back in her chair and shrugged as she looked at her innocently. “Ms. Foster, I’m so sorry. Guess my mouth can just hold a bit more.”
“How about another take? I’ll drink less this time,” she added cheerfully.
Miles had been watching the whole thing. He finally couldn’t stand it anymore and strode over angrily.
“You little brat. Are you doing this on purpose?”
Seeing this, Sienna was just about to step forward when Michelle raised her voice first.
“Mr. Turner, that accusation is a bit heavy, don’t you think? Didn’t you say earlier that we should strive for perfection and shoot more takes?
“So why the double standards when it comes to Ms. Foster? You jumped in immediately and blamed me, even though I’m following the script.”
Miles‘ face turned livid. “You-”
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral, Carl hurried over to smooth things out.
“Mr. Turner, it’s true that this is written in the script. Celene’s character is meant to endure humiliation early on and explode later-”
“Endure my ass,” Miles snapped, cutting him off. “You’re clearly adding these humiliating scenes on purpose.”
Michelle poured fuel on the fire. “Did Ms. Foster not read the script and character setup when she accepted the role? Or did she take it blindly just for the sake of it? Does she want to quit now? That would mean she’s just treating this production like

a child’s game.”
Melody had never intended to quit. She quickly grabbed Miles‘ arm to calm him down.

“Forget it. I’m fine. This is what the role requires. Don’t interfere. I’ll just push through my scenes with Michelle. It’ll be over
soon.”
But Miles‘ temper was already flaring. He turned to Carl and barked, “No! Change the script immediately. Replace all the scenes where Michelle bullies Melody with maidservants acting on her orders instead. Michelle is not allowed to do it personally. I won’t let her use this role to settle her personal grudges.”
Carl was seething by now. In all his years in the industry, he had never dealt with such an insufferable investor who constantly meddled and spouted endless nonsense.
If they hadn’t already started shooting and marketing, he would have quit on the spot.
In the end, Carl clenched his teeth and gave in.
“Fine. I’ll talk to the screenwriter later. We’ll pause their shared scenes for now and resume once the revisions are done. We’ll shoot other scenes today. You two can take a break”
Melody accepted the towel from Shannon and left with Miles.
As they passed Sienna, Miles shot her a vicious glare. “You told Michelle to do this, didn’t you? If Clayton finds out about this, he won’t let you off.”
Sienna didn’t even bother looking at him. If he wouldn’t let her off, she wouldn’t let him off either. She hadn’t forgotten how he had mocked her yesterday. She planned to settle both old and new grudges together.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Beatrice’s number.
