Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Playing Some Tricks

The familiarity and intimacy in her tone made a bitter taste in Emilia's heart.

She didn't answer.

Chloe was appointed as the director by Borus Group.

To put it bluntly, Emilia was now only the agent of the entertainment branch of Borus Group, and she was not qualified to interfere with the senior management.

On the other hand, Chloe was very interested in the shooting.

It happened that Emilia was leading the stars under her command to record a show, and Chloe followed.

When she arrived at the scene, Chloe was quite interested in a lemon-shaped prop.

"Is this a lemon?"

Emilia glanced at it and explained, "No, it's a goofy prop made of mango pulp. There are many such small props on the set."

Chloe pinched the prop thoughtfully, "Is it edible?"

Emilia nodded.

Although the taste of these kinds of props was just so-so, most of them were harmless.

Chloe stared at her and suddenly stuffed the prop into her mouth.

Emilia froze for a moment.

In the next second, a slight red rash appeared on Chloe's face, which was as white as a sheet.

Before Emilia could react, at some point, Edwin entered the room and walked quickly to her side.

He looked at Emilia with a cold face, "What did you feed her? She is allergic to mangoes!"

Chloe grabbed his clothes tightly, crying with a trembling voice, "Edwin, I hurt."

Before Emilia could speak, Edwin scooped Chloe up in his arms, and he didn't give Emilia another look after that.

Looking at his panicked and anxious back, Emilia froze on the spot and tasted the bitterness spread over her mouth. Her heart ached as if it were torn apart.

She finally saw how nervous he was for a woman.

What was a pity.

He showed anxious concerns about another woman.

Since the matter was related to Emilia, she followed them to the hospital.

"Believe it or not. I reminded her that it's made of mango pulp." Emilia took a breath, "Also, I didn't know she was allergic to mango."

"I know."

Edwin's voice was toneless.

"After Chloe came back, her psychiatrist gave me a report. Her mental state was unstable, and she was anxious for favors. In order to attract my attention, she would play some tricks..."

He knew it.

Emilia froze in place.

He knew everything.

He knew that this was Chloe's trick, but he still indulged her.

Emilia's nose twitched.

Her sad look made Edwin feel a little irritable. He looked at Emilia and warned in a deep voice, "Emilia, don't provoke her in the future, let alone hurt her."

"Edwin..." Emilia clenched her hands tightly and said mockingly, "I am innocent and shouldn't be the one to blame. It was Chloe who disregarded her dietary restrictions and ate the mango by herself, which had nothing to do with me."

Emilia couldn't stand to stay in this tense atmosphere for another second.

Without thinking about it, she fought back the tears in the corner of her eyes and left.

After a while, Edward came out from the corner and was a little hesitant when thinking of the scene just now.

"Edwin, is it too much to treat Emilia like this? After all, she has been your wife for three years..."

Edwin stared at Emilia's receding back, squinted his eyes, and said lightly, "It's none of your business."

Edward didn't say anything more.

On the other end.

Emilia left the hospital and soon received a call from Susan's assistant.

"Emilia, something happened. Come to the set quickly."

When she arrived, Susan's almond-shaped eyes were red, and her right cheek was swollen. She was sitting by the side whimpering, and her clothes were still wet.

Obviously, Susan had been bullied.

"What happened?"

Emilia's face turned cold in an instant.

Just as the assistant was about to speak, a woman in an ancient costume walked over and explained softly with an innocent face.

"Emilia, it's my fault. I failed to be immersed in acting and made the shooting of the slapping scene take longer than estimated. And that's why Susan is like this..."

"Who is she?"

Emilia frowned and asked the assistant beside her.

The assistant lowered his voice, "She is Martha, the newcomer who replaced Susan as the brand ambassador."

Only then did Emilia remember.

Chloe had ordered a newcomer to replace Susan as the brand ambassador.

This newcomer turned out to be Martha.

"Can't you get involved in acting?" Emilia looked at her.

Martha nodded proudly.

The next moment, a clear slap sounded.

Emilia raised her hand and slapped Martha without hesitation.

Susan, who was sobbing softly, was stunned.

Martha covered her face and raised her head in disbelief.

"Are you deep into acting now?" Emilia glanced at her and said lightly.

After dabbling in the entertainment industry for so many years, Emilia had been experienced in dealing with this kind of hypocrite. The tricks played by Martha didn't work for her.

"You!"

Emilia didn't wait for Martha to speak and gave the order to the assistant with a cold face.

"Collect all the outtakes today as well as the monitoring records of the set. If Ms. Levin said something rude, they are the evidence of her true face!"

Martha took the opportunity to cause the dispute and hit Susan first. So, Emilia did justice to her by giving her a slap.

But those surveillance videos were enough to ruin the career of this newcomer.

Emilia didn't bother to talk to Martha anymore and took Susan to the hospital with her assistant.

The wound on Susan's face was not serious, and she could recover well after two days of rest.

Emilia breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Emilia did not expect that Martha would inform Chloe of this matter.

"Martha is a newcomer and has no experience in acting in historical plays. She didn't slap Susan on purpose that day."

"Emilia, it's probably because Susan didn't speak clearly and was misunderstood by Martha. You ask Susan to apologize to Martha, and this matter is over."

Chloe pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows to look at Emilia.

Emilia didn't speak. Then she turned to look at Edwin and said coldly, "It is not Susan's fault!"

"Edwin, Mr. Levin told me to take good care of Martha. But Emilia slapped her, so I can't just let it go."

Chloe tugged Edwin's sleeve aggrievedly.

Edwin stared at Emilia deeply for a while and said, "After all, it was Susan who caused this dispute. Let Susan apologize to Martha."

In an instant, Emilia's heart sank.

She met Edwin's gaze and said sarcastically, "Mr. Borus, are you partial to Chloe out of love to the point of losing the ability to tell right from wrong? The surveillance videos of the set are all evidence that can prove Susan innocent."

"Just do as Chloe said," Edwin threatened with a cold face, "If Susan doesn't want to apologize to Martha, she might as well quit this play."

Chloe on the side blinked and looked at her contemptuously.

For a moment, Emilia only felt pain in breathing.

There was a mist in front of her eyes, and the grief in her heart made her almost suffocated.

Edwin didn't love her.

But after living with her for three years, didn't he have the slightest remaining love for her, which was enough to make him let the matter pass?

He loved Chloe so much... that he even shielded her friend without distinguishing right from wrong?

"Edwin, Susan is my friend..."

Emilia's voice was very hoarse, and she tried her best to suppress the emotions gushing from the bottom of her heart.

Just when Emilia was about to say something, she fell into a coma. She lost balance and then fell into the arms of Edwin.
