After leaving home, Erica’s smile vanished in an instant. She took out her phone and found the news she had marked. So, Jane has been supervising the set lately? She’ll make Jane regret it for a lifetime!
“Go to this address; I have a friend shooting there, and I’m visiting the set.”
After getting into a taxi, Erica handed the driver the address of the film crew. Half an hour later, she arrived at the set.
“Cut! Osborn’s performance in this scene is excellent. He portrayed the inner struggles and sorrows of the male lead well, and his eye acting is also on point. Truly deserving of the accolades he received as a Best Actor!”
The director praised, nodding in satisfaction after watching the footage on the monitor.
Osborn smiled. “Thanks to your excellent guidance. Actors and directors always complement each other.”
“Don’t be modest now. I just watched the scene with the director, and your performance was indeed good. However, the next scene is the crucial one where the male lead is taken away by the military. There are a few details to pay attention to…”
Jane smiled and spoke, and Osborn, always serious about his acting, immediately focused. They walked to the side to discuss the plot.
Since many people were coming in and out of the set every day, the staff didn’t notice Erica’s presence. She approached, step by step, and soon saw Jane and Osborn sitting in a corner. She couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly.
But as long as she saw Jane and Osborn happily laughing, she couldn’t control her anger.
Erica walked to a spot not far from them, stared fiercely at Jane, and said, “Jane!”
Hearing the voice, Jane turned her head and saw Erica’s face, causing her to be somewhat stunned. Osborn was also surprised, asking, “Erica? What are you doing here?”
“Jane, you wretch!”
With red eyes and gritted teeth, Erica uttered these words with intense hatred in her voice. She wished to end Jane’s life.
“What are you talking about?” Before Jane could speak, Osborn, with a furrowed brow, accused Erica, looking at her with both confusion and anger.
With teary eyes, Erica looked at Osborn with a mix of affection and sorrow. As a woman, she could see how much Osborn liked Jane just from his eyes when he was talking to her.
Precisely because Osborn liked her, she had to ruin it!
Osborn glared at Erica. Without hesitation, he issued an eviction order. “This is a film set. Please leave immediately!”
With tears in her eyes, Erica faced Osborn, revealing a resolute smile. After giving Osborn a glance, she turned back to Jane.
“You’re proud of yourself, aren’t you? After seducing Patrick, you got dumped and now you’re trying to seduce Osborn. Making him willingly become your backup. Jane, you look gentle and tender, but I never expected you to be such a flirt. I regret not tearing off your hypocritical mask in front of so many media reporters back then, let them see the famous president of Star Entertainment is such a shameless woman! Based on what?”
Erica was now completely insane, staring at Jane with narrowed eyes. Hatred was evident in her eyes, and her words were filled with venom. She seemed ready to devour Jane, to drink her blood and eat her flesh.
Osborn was furious by now. He looked at Erica with clenched fists, veins popping on his forehead. He was suppressing his anger for Jane’s sake.
Jane frowned as she looked at Erica. “Erica, have you gone crazy?”
“Yes!” Erica shouted loudly. Many people nearby turned their heads to look, wearing puzzled and bewildered expressions. Some even tried to approach Erica, but she shook them off.
“I can’t understand. Why can a woman like you juggle two relationships and make both of these men devoted to you? Jane, you’re skilled in manipulation… I’m crazy, I’ve been framed by you and thrown into the police station for several days. My family is on the verge of bankruptcy because of you. Everything is your debt to me! Jane, what face do you have to act so gentle and kind in front of others? Based on what?”
The woman’s hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and even her shouting sounded hoarse, echoing in the middle of the set.
She was truly insane.
Jane shook her head helplessly and even started to feel sorry for Erica, but she didn’t sympathize with her.
“Erica, there’s something you need to understand. The mistake was yours from the beginning. If you hadn’t assisted Florence in scheming and plotting so many wrongdoings, taking the initiative to hire hackers to breach our company’s internal network, we wouldn’t be in this situation today.”
“As for your family’s bankruptcy, it’s not my fault. It’s your own incompetence. If your actions hadn’t been exposed, why would we have had this incident at the police station? Moreover, I was just rightfully protecting my rights, seeking legal help to resolve the issue. Erica, at this point, don’t you realize your mistakes?”
As Jane spoke, her expression remained calm, but she knew that Erica, being paranoid and radical, wouldn’t change her mind until her last breath. Clearly, these words further enraged Erica.
Her face turned red with anger, and her hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly. Unexpectedly, she pulled out the short hunting rifle from her pocket, aimed it at Jane, closed her eyes, and screamed, “Then go die!”
Jane widened her eyes. Was Erica truly insane?!
“Jane, be careful!” Almost instinctively, Osborn rushed forward and embraced Jane.
The surrounding crew and security personnel were in chaos, and the security guards hurried over.
A gunshot rang out.
Osborn’s clothes were stained with fresh blood, and there was a deep red mark on his back, spreading continuously.
This sudden turn of events left Jane in shock.
Osborn had actually taken the bullet for her.
Jane anxiously looked at Osborn’s pale face.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but he was still concerned about her, “Jane, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Osborn… hold on, the ambulance is on its way. Call an ambulance quickly!”
Jane’s hands trembled slightly, and Erica, unable to believe what had just happened, stared at Osborn. She never expected him to take a bullet for Jane.
She was completely broken.
Security personnel quickly restrained Erica and dragged her out. Someone had also called the hospital’s emergency line.
Luckily, the filming location wasn’t far from the city, and in about ten minutes, someone rushed in, saying, “The ambulance is here, parked at the entrance!”
As soon as the words were spoken, several medical personnel rushed in. They hurriedly placed Osborn on a stretcher, and Jane, with a worried expression, followed them onto the ambulance bound for the hospital.
