Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

After the break, Tina finally forced herself to get into the right mindset.

It took several tries before they barely passed the scene.

Next up was Jane’s turn.

This scene was a face-off between Jane and Osborn.

Simple enough, Jane played Zara, a tea-picking girl in the Jiangnan water town. While swinging in a small grove, she encounters the king, played by Osborn, who is in disguise.

The king accidentally enters the grove, sees Zara swinging, and falls in love at first sight.

“Miss North, we can begin,” Larry, with a smile, gestured for Jane to sit on the swing.

Jane nodded, making an ‘OK’ gesture, “Let’s start!”

She walked to the grove, sat on the swing, and the actor behind her, playing her companion, began pushing the swing.

As soon as Jane sat down, she felt that something was off.

The swing, temporary as it was, should have been carefully inspected by the prop team, but Jane could sense that it was swinging violently.

She furrowed her brows slightly, a thought flashing in her mind.

Had someone tampered with the swing?

Meanwhile, the actor pushing her from behind was unaware of any issues and continued to push vigorously.

The swing swayed higher and higher…

As expected, when the swing reached its highest point, the rope holding it suddenly loosened, and the swing plummeted rapidly.

“Heavens, the rope broke!!” Everyone exclaimed.

If an ordinary person fell from such a height, they would either die or be severely injured.

Jane calmly lowered her head, took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and prepared for the landing.

“Jane, be careful!”

At that moment, a clear, masculine voice rang out, full of tension and concern.

The next second, a tall and agile figure, like a descending deity, swiftly ran over and, without hesitation, caught her just as she was about to land.

Jane squinted, seeing a familiar handsome face in her line of sight.

Patrick?!

When did he arrive?

Wasn’t he supposed to be at Pansy Group working?

Why did he appear so timely and catch her?

At this moment, Jane felt a bit bewildered.

“Jane, are you okay?” Patrick’s strong arms held her tightly, expressing his concern.

Jane shook her head, “I’m fine.”

After a pause, she asked, “Why are you here?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

In a deep and low voice, Patrick replied, “I was worried about you.”

Worried about her?

So…

Had Patrick been on the set all along?

People around them gathered, expressing their concern, “Miss North, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Jane stood up, smiled, and said.

“Jane, are you okay?” Osborn also rushed over, panting.

When the swing fell, Osborn was outside the grove.

According to the script, he had to wait a few minutes before accidentally entering the grove and encountering Jane swinging. So, when the swing fell, he was far away and arrived later than others.

“Osborn, was the swing checked before? Why did it suddenly fall?” Jane frowned, looking at Osborn.

“Go check what happened with the swing,” Osborn instructed his assistant, Devin, in a cold tone.

Devin nodded respectfully, “Sure, Mr. Maltz.”

He approached and carefully inspected the swing, then reported, “The screw of the swing’s fixing rope was loose, causing it to fall and the accident just now.”

“The screw was loose?” A coldness crept into Jane’s lips.

In that moment of falling, Jane’s first thought was that someone had tampered with the swing. The person who had triggered her allergy at the opening ceremony was likely the culprit.

Her previous speculation was correct; this person wouldn’t give up easily and would strike again.

Sure enough, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Why would a perfectly fine screw be loose?” Jane pursed her lips, looking at Osborn.

Osborn’s face turned unpleasant; he instructed Devin, “Investigate thoroughly.”

“Yes, Mr. Maltz,” Devin replied respectfully.

“Jane, rest assured; I’ll make sure to find out what happened,” Osborn reassured Jane.

He felt a wave of relief. Luckily, Jane was unharmed. If she had been injured just now, he would have felt guilty for a lifetime.

After all, he had chosen the role of Zara for Jane.

Moreover, he hadn’t been able to run over in time to catch Jane; instead, Patrick had taken the lead.

Jane nodded, about to say something when suddenly a tremendous force wrapped around her waist.

Patrick lifted her off the ground.

“Patrick, what are you doing?” Jane whispered, “Put me down!”

Patrick’s face turned slightly cold, “You’re injured. I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up.”

“I told you I’m fine!” Jane struggled, “Put me down; I still have scenes to shoot.”

What was Patrick up to?

She had just fallen lightly, and besides, he had caught her earlier. Why did she need to go to the hospital now?

Seeing Jane say this, Patrick’s face grew colder.

Did this woman have no sense of danger?

The swing just now was obviously tampered with, as the screw wouldn’t loosen by itself.

And this person, who had access to the set and deliberately wanted to harm Jane, wasn’t she afraid at all?

Or was it that Jane insisted on shooting to be with Osborn?

Seeing Patrick insist on taking Jane away, Osborn stepped forward to stop him, “Patrick, put Jane down!”

“Get out of the way!” Patrick said coldly, “Jane fell from such a height, and you want her to continue filming?”

Osborn was momentarily speechless.

“Never mind, Osborn, go ahead and shoot other scenes. Save my scenes for tomorrow,” Jane thought for a moment and spoke.

She didn’t want these two men to argue over her.

Even so, today’s events would likely hit the entertainment headlines soon.

Patrick carried Jane and threw her directly into the car.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Jane glanced at him, “Patrick, I really am fine. You caught me just now, didn’t you?”

“I have things to attend to, okay?” Patrick raised his right hand, gesturing in front of Jane.

It was then that Jane noticed Patrick’s hand was injured.

It seemed that when she fell just now, she accidentally pressed his hand, leaving a large bruise.
