Loving A STRANGER Chapter 83
Advertisement
That evening, the foot had festered.
Once everyone was ready, they started shooting.
Today's scenes involved Becky, who had quarreled with Sam, escaping from the cottage, and meeting up with her elder sister, Angela, on the way. Angela was envious of Becky, for having Sam's love. As a result, Angela mocked her.
"Oh, you dare to escape from me! What are you afraid of?" Angela said, reaching out to get a hold of Becky, who was riding nearby on her horse.
Just as Lily reached out, Kylie narrowed her eyes expectantly and leaned over to one side.
In the camera's blind spot, Kylie's leg clamped the horse's stomach. Lily missed her catch and instantly fell against the horse.
The big white horse made a loud, frightening noise, as its front hooves rose high in the air.
It turned around, in the same place, on its hind legs, almost throwing Kylie from its back.
"Kylie!" Julian was worried. The trainer beside him witnessed the scene and was shocked. He rushed over in alarm.
"Lily, what's wrong with you? Didn't you read the lines carefully? You were supposed to shake her clothes gently. But you hit the horse instead?"
Although Julian was a harsh director, he rarely told someone off so openly. But this time, he really just couldn't stand it.
He never interfered with other people's personal affairs, but he couldn't tolerate someone purposely making trouble during filming.
"I..." Lily was also puzzled and scared. She had just used all of her strength, but she still hadn't expected the horse to react so strongly.
But she continued to make excuses for herself: "I hit the horse by mistake! I'm not the one who scared it like that. It must have been Kylie!"
Unfortunately, Lily already had a bad reputation. Besides, she hadn't gotten along well with Kylie since her first day on the crew. So now everyone was on Kylie's side.

With the horse trainer's help, Kylie finally comforted the horse. She dismounted, and her legs shook uncontrollably. Her face looked full of grievances.
"Director, I'm fine, really. My legs are just weak. I can continue after the break. It's not Lily's fault. Maybe the horse is new at this, and insecure. Maybe it scared many people.
She had a sensible and considerate look as she spoke to the Director. Her colleagues, who, at first, had wanted to laugh at her fear, now began to sympathize with her.
William sat in front of the monitor, one hand on his forehand, and the other covering his smile.
This woman was truly a destroyer of flowers, who specialized in destroying a white lotus-like Lily.
Lily gnashed her teeth together when she saw Kylie's weak lips trembling constantly. "Don't pretend someone else did it. You must have something hidden on your body that scared the horse. Admit it. You hid needles, or spice, that excites the creature!"
"Lily. Enough." Julian commanded.
Faith, Lily's assistant, rushed over to explain: "Lily, please stop. The Director is angry. You really did something wrong..."
Faith has been followed by Lily around for a long time. She knew her very well. In order to entrap different opponents, she has done many nasty things.
Lily turned around and violently pushed Faith to the ground. "What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do? Get out of here. You are fired. Go!"
Faith fell heavily to the ground and injured her arms.
The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore. They quickly helped Faith get back up. Then they instantly became even more disgusted with Lily.
Even though Kylie had a bad reputation, she had never been rude to anyone. She was very serious and dedicated to her work. Lily, however, was not only cruel towards the people she disliked; she even treated her assistants badly.

Lily realized that everyone was looking at her. She usually made others feel like they were in the wrong. But today, she experienced the opposite. It was uncomfortable.
Her face immediately darkened, and it looked as though she was about to go crazy.
A second before she was about to explode, someone suddenly appeared beside her and pulled down her fist, which was angrily waving at Kylie.
"Lily, I know that you're dedicated to pursuing Kylie, but don't be too serious. The people who know you will understand your anger, but as for others, they won't take your side..."
It was from Khloe. She was trying to comfort Lilly at this difficult time.
There was no scene for Khloe that day, so she didn't have a reason to be on set. She had come simply because she had wanted to see Kylie embarrass herself. She hadn't expected this turn of events...
Kylie had easily dismissed the fans that had blocked the door, and now stupid Lily was ruining everything.
She really was a buzzkill.
Seeing that everyone was standing around Kylie, Khloe decided to defend Lily.
When Lily saw Khloe, she was glad to know that she now had a powerful backer. She took Khloe's hand and began to cry. "Jaz, this little bitch framed me," she said.
Khloe was afraid that Lily would continue to say such stupid words, and resultantly increase everyone's disgust for her. So, she hurriedly pulled her to a remote place.
"You are really reckless. I told you to take a wait-and-see approach. Kylie will eventually leave the crew, when she can no longer stand the pressure of public opinion. But what you did just now...You screwed it up. Now, she'll get sympathy."
Lily wiped away her tears. "I just wanted to push her from the horse, so that she would be forced to go home and recuperate. Out of sight, out of mind. Who knows how that horse suddenly became so shocked..."
Khloe turned to look at Kylie, who looked very magnanimous while she was being comforted by the Director.
Although Khloe hadn't seen what had happened, the current situation was obviously not good for Lily.
If they wanted to get back at Kylie, there was only one way. "Lily, listen to me. Go ask if Kylie was injured, and pretend to be concerned for her."
Lily's eyes suddenly widened. "Are you kidding me? No way. Khloe, how can you take her side? I didn't do anything at all!"
Khloe was getting angry with this idiot. "Can't you see that Kylie is now gaining sympathy? Do you want William to pity her and take her side?"
