Fell Into His Love Trap novel Chapter 396

Brimming with delight, Avery cracked a twisted smile to Jane. “Skylar won’t be using her legs anytime soon; she’ll be disabled after that fall. Let’s see who the director chooses as the female lead then. It’ll be more than kind if she ends up dying instead.”

Jane pursed her lips. Deep down, she was appalled by Avery’s psychotic plan. It’s not uncommon to find dirty politics between actresses in the industry. Still, Avery is pure evil for killing off her enemy without hesitation.

As the harness lifted higher, Skylar suddenly asked to halt the shoot. She requested to the director, “Can we please lay down some stunt mats? I’m afraid of heights…”

Josiah’s clutch white-knuckled on the script, nearly tossing it. He let out an ear-splitting roar to Skylar, “What the hell are you doing? We don’t have time to fetch the stunt mats simply because you need them. I’ve shot many films, and no one has ever fallen from their harnesses. So why are you insisting on special treatment?”

Desperate, Skylar placed a hand over her forehead. She feigned a frail voice, “Mr. Zimmermann, I have vertigo. I tend to experience dizziness after reaching a certain altitude. Please, you must find me some stunt mats to catch me if I fall. I’m sure it won’t take too long to lay down some mats…”

Earlier, she noticed Avery and Daniel exchanging glances. It looked like there was something suspicious going on between them. Hence, she was worried that Avery had pulled a dirty stunt and messed with the harness.

Anger thrummed in Josiah’s veins. He mercilessly barked at Skylar in front of the filming crew, “I have never met a more troublesome actress apart from you. How dare you barge into the show and demand that I, the director, to accommodate you?”

Despite his jeering, Skylar refused to explain her suspicions about the harness’ safety. Because she couldn’t risk being wrong, yet she also couldn’t recklessly gamble with her life. After all, Daniel looked extremely pale and nervous when she inspected the harness earlier. Thus, requesting stunt mats was her safest bet.

The film crew moved quickly and layered some stunt mats under Skylar. Meanwhile, Avery’s brows furrowed tightly at this. If this keeps up, there won’t even be a scratch on Skylar when she falls.

Once they finished placing down the stunt mats, Skylar was hoisted into the air by her harness. She wielded a wooden sword in one hand. Her gaze was strikingly sharp in her expertly executed makeup. The gorgeous pink dress flowed down her body, exuding a graceful aura. According to the script, this was the female lead, Saoirse’s first time properly wielding a sword after receiving basic training.

“You have to wield the sword in a more poised manner. Skylar, don’t slouch. What kind of rubbish did your etiquette trainer teach you? How could your posture be so horrid, despite coming from a professional film academy background?” Josiah barked through the loudhailer.
