Chapter 829
Nannie suspected that Kathie wrote the letter. Before going on stage, she had a serious conflict with Kathie. Then Kathie fainted during the performance, and Nannie became the prime suspect
In this scene, there was a fight. First Nannie hit Kathie, then Kathie’s good friend Margarita fought back to protect Kathie.
Director Javier wanted the performance to be as realistic as possible, so he discussed with Celeste, Sydney, and Naomi about not faking the fight and asked if they were willing
Celeste and Sydney both said it wasn’t a problem, while Naomi had long had an issue with Celeste and found an opportunity to vent.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she knew how to use drama to oppress actors.
Celeste glanced at Naomi’s flickering eyes. As she passed the props group, her hand gently brushed the prop tray.
Leonard saw Celeste’s action, paused for a moment, but said nothing
With the director’s “Action“” the first scene began.
In the restroom, two girls in dance costumes were whispering
“Hey, do you know why Nannie was replaced as the lead dancer?”
The other shook her head, “No, why?”
“I heard that someone wrote a letter to the school, listing Nannie’s family background and questioning the previous competition’s integrity. The person had solid arguments, pointing out Nannie’s mistakes in the competition and questioning the judges and the school, since Nannie was not that good at dancing but still led the team. The letter was not only sent to the school, but also to the education bureau. To protect its reputation, the school replaced Nannie’s lead dancer position.”
“So they replaced her just because she was questioned? Isn’t that revealing themselves?”
“Nannie’s mistakes were obvious. Her award was already questionable. Can it withstand scrutiny?”
“Who do you think wrote the letter?”
That person looked around and whispered, “I think it was someone in our class. You know, the mistakes were described in detail. It must have been written by a dancer Plus, if Nannie is replaced, someone else will take her place.”
“You mean Kathie?”
“I didn’t say that. Let’s go. We need to do our makeup. We’ll be on stage soon.”
The two humedly left the restroom. The previously closed cubicle was followed by the sound of flushing, and then Nannie came out with a cold face.
Everyone backstage was busy with makeup and changing clothes. No one noticed Nannie. She walked through the crowd with an expressionless face, suddenly grabbed Kathie’s shoulder, and slapped her
Kathie swayed a bit from the blow, almost falling over
The dancers nearby quickly helped Kathie up as Margarita stormed over, “Nannie, why the hell did you hit her?!”
Nannie’s eyes were bloodshot, her face as cold as ice, “She had it coming!”
With that, she raised her hand to hit Kathie again, but Margarita caught her wrist and slapped her in return.
Naomi swung out a slap with all her might, a delighted grin on her face as she did so
Celeste fell to the ground when she was hit, toppling over a nearby chair in the process, and landed awkwardly on the floor.
A trace of blood trickled from the corner of Celeste’s mouth.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the room. Javier, gripping the microphone, chided, “I told you to hold back! Why did you hit her so hard?!”
Naomi looked at Celeste in disbelief.
Yes, she did slap Celeste, but the moment her hand touched Celeste’s face, she fell backwards. Naomi hadn’t used that much force, how could she possibly have made Celeste bleed?!
