Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

With this in mind, Freda took out her phone and discreetly sent a text message to the crew member she had bribed, a sly glint in her eyes.

This time, Jane was in trouble!

As the scene wrapped up, Freda approached Jane warmly, greeting her enthusiastically.

“Miss North, your performance with Osborn was truly fantastic. Could you teach me some acting tips? Although Osborn says my character doesn’t need much skill, I still want to learn and improve.”

Freda spoke with apparent sincerity, “Jane, you know how it is. Can you help me out?”

Jane, with a deep gaze, gave Freda a brief look. This woman had caused her trouble several times, scheming against her in the shadows. Now, she acted as if nothing happened, showing such warmth?

Being overly attentive often conceals ulterior motives.

Jane wondered what Freda was up to again.

“No problem,” Jane agreed nonchalantly.

She wanted to see what medicine Freda was selling in her gourd.

While resting under a canopy, Jane shared acting tips with Freda, who listened attentively.

Passing by, Tina halted, sarcastically commenting, “Miss North, you’re teaching acting now?”

Jane, an amateur in the film industry, didn’t know much about acting. It was laughable that she was teaching Freda.

Jane raised an eyebrow, casting a faint glance at Tina, slightly furrowing her brow.

People like Tina, who couldn’t control their emotions, were bound to suffer sooner or later.

At that moment, Larry walked over, politely asking, “Miss North, Tina, are you ready? We’re about to shoot the next scene.”

Jane nodded, “No problem, let’s begin!”

This scene involved a confrontation between Jane and Tina. The queen learned that Zara was pregnant, and upon discovering that the child wasn’t the king’s but Zara’s first love’s, she couldn’t allow this illegitimate child to be born. In a secret meeting at the Royal Palace, the queen interrogates Zara.

During their argument, the queen loses control and injures Zara.

“This bastard in your belly must die! I won’t let you give birth to this illegitimate child!” Tina expressed her anger convincingly, shouting at Jane.

Jane, portraying Zara, looked at her with fear, trembling as she spoke, “It’s impossible. Even if I die, I won’t let you harm my flesh and blood!”

“Then die!” Tina, playing the queen, stepped towards Jane, suddenly pulling out a dagger and fiercely thrusting it at her.

In Tina’s mind, jealousy toward Jane overwhelmed her. She exerted all her strength, holding a prop knife, ruthlessly attacking Jane.

Since it was just a prop, Jane would be fine no matter how hard Tina tried. Tina was merely venting her frustration.

The gleaming dagger, filled with a chill, headed toward Jane. Her gaze turned cold.

This isn’t right!

Jane, quick-witted, dodged the attack.

Although Zara, the character Jane portrayed, was supposed to be timid and not dodge, Jane did.

This deviated from the script. Tina immediately broke character, dissatisfied, and questioned, “Miss North, why didn’t you follow the script?”

“If I had followed the script, I might have genuinely died under your knife,” Jane stepped back a few paces, her eyes narrowed.

Tina frowned, “What do you mean?”

Other crew members were also puzzled, staring at Jane.

Jane didn’t waste time explaining. She pointed at the knife in Tina’s hand, saying coldly, “Because that knife has a real blade!”

“What?”

Everyone present looked at Jane in astonishment.

A real knife with a blade?

How could that be possible?

Props used in filming should be fake, right?

“A real knife?!” Tina couldn’t believe it, lowering her head to examine the knife in her hand.

Jane nodded. “Yes.”

She pointed to her arm. Despite dodging quickly, the blade had still cut her arm.

At this moment, blood slowly seeped out.

“Oh my God, Miss North is injured!”

“How did this happen?”

“It was supposed to be a prop knife. How did it suddenly become real?!”

“Jane, are you okay?” Osborn, preparing for the next scene backstage, heard about Jane’s incident and rushed over, asking with concern.

Jane shook her head. “I’m fine, just a minor injury.”

Fortunately, she had dodged in time, and the wound wasn’t deep.

“Tina, what’s going on?!” Osborn’s sharp gaze focused on Tina.

Tina, frightened by his gaze, loosened her grip, and the knife fell to the ground.

Osborn was about to pick up the knife when Jane stopped him, speaking in a deep voice, “Don’t touch it; this knife is evidence.”

Osborn nodded understandingly.

Jane glanced around and began, “Everyone saw it. This was supposed to be a prop knife, but it turned real. Clearly, someone tampered with it, intending to harm me. Moreover, that person should be present right now.”

As Jane finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances, then turned their gaze toward Tina.

After all, Tina used the knife, and she had almost injured Jane just now.

Tina hesitated. She hurriedly said, “It’s not my fault. I don’t know why the prop knife suddenly turned real!”

“Why isn’t it your fault? You almost stabbed Miss North just now!” Freda, who had been watching from the side, suddenly stepped forward, pointing at Tina.

Freda knew the content of the upcoming scene, so she had secretly replaced the prop knife, planning to use Tina to stab Jane and then frame her.

Everything was planned so perfectly. Previous attempts to harm Jane hadn’t worked as expected, and she believed this time would be a success.

But now, Jane had miraculously escaped!

Freda was filled with resentment. Jane was too lucky, not dying even in such a situation!

However, since Jane didn’t die, someone had to take the blame.

And Tina was the scapegoat.

After hearing Freda’s words, Tina angrily said, “Freda, what do you mean? Trying to frame me?”

“Frame you?” Freda smiled and then looked at Jane. “Miss North, we all saw it. Tina deliberately used the knife to hurt you. Why not call the police and have her arrested?”

“Is that so? Are you so certain it was Tina?” A sarcastic smile played on Jane’s lips.

Freda was momentarily stunned. What did Jane mean by that?

Tina quickly grabbed Jane’s arm, pleading, “Miss North, please believe me. It really wasn’t me!”
