Chapter 192 The Best Actress Could Be Me

Kathleen's scenes were very simple that day.Cain arranged to shoot scenes that involved moredialogues on her part as his way of looking after her.Her scenes that day relied heavily onexpressions and emotions instead of physical prowess.Those were easy tasks for Kathleen.Thefilming carried on and only ended when evening arrived.Once her work was done for the day,Kathleen got ready to rest.Then and there, an assistant came running toward her. The assistant said,"Kate, Mr. Currah brought some fruits for the film crew. Here's yours.” Thank you.” Kathleengestured for Valerie to accept them, who promptly did."Please extend my gratitude to Timothy,”Kathleen stated.”Sure!” The assistant nodded.Kathleen and Valerie promptly retreated to their breakroom.Once they had arrived, Valerie asked, “Kate, do you want to have a bite?"Kathleen nodded. “Allright. Timothy did put in the effort to have them delivered. It would be inappropriate if I don't eatthem."Valerie then opened the box.It was packed full of a myriad of fruits.Kathleen picked up a forkand popped a strawberry into her mouth.Valerie was about to have one as well when Kathleenfrowned and stopped her. “Hold on!"Taken aback, Valerie asked, “What's wrong?“Kathleen openedher bag and took out a silver needle. She then poked it into the strawberry.In a few seconds, thesilver needle turned black."What in the world is going on?” Valerie cried out, astonished.Kathleensniffed the strawberry. “It's poisoned.”“What?" Valerie exclaimed."This is a type of poison capable ofrestricting the human's respiratory system. Its toxicity is less potent than cyanide, but it's still lethalnonetheless,” Kathleen explained. Then, with a cold tone, she instructed, “Valerie, call the police.””I'mon it!” Valerie picked up her phone.However, after a short instance of deliberation, Kathleengrabbed Valerie's hand. She then spoke in an icy tone. “Forget it. Whoever did this left no tracesbehind. There's no point in calling the police."Valerie frowned. “So what do we do then?"After amoment of consideration, Kathleen whispered something into Valerie's ear.Once Valerie was donelistening, she nodded. “Should I go now?"Kathleen nodded. “Yes."Valerie promptly turned aroundand left Meanwhile, Kathleen stared at the strawberry on her fork with a cold gaze. Jennifer sure isreckless. But from where did she get a poison like this? This is too weird.Ten minutes later, Timothy'sassistant ran out of his break room. The assistant yelled, “Bad news! It looks like Mr. Currah hadbeen poisoned!“Everyone panicked upon hearing that.They dashed straight into the break room tocheck up on Timothy.He lay on the floor, unconscious.”Quick, get an ambulance!” Spencerbellowed.Timothy’s assistant immediately picked up his phone to call an ambulance.”He was finejust now. How on earth did he get poisoned?"“Exactly! Please don't tell me it's because ofsomebody's doing?"“Stop spouting nonsense without any proof!”“How is it nonsense? Last time,Kathleen nearly fell out of her wire. Who knows? Someone could be trying to hurt themintentionally!”“When you put it that way, I'm suspecting that perhaps it's this shooting location thatis... problematic?"Upon those words, everyone present felt a chill go down their spines."That'senough! Stop making random assumptions! This has got nothing to do with the lot of you. So, gohome!” Spencer reprimanded them sternly.Everyone could only leave then, having heard whatSpencer said.Soon enough, an ambulance arrived, and Timothy was taken away along with hisassistant.As for the rest of the film crew, they began to take their leave. Gradually, the number ofpeople present at the location lessened.Just then, the silhouette of a woman silently slipped intoTimothy's break room.Several moments passed, and the woman finally got ready to leave withTimothy's box of fruit platter in hand."Hold it right there,” Kathleen's voice called out

abruptly. Jennifer was startled so much that the fruit platter fell to the floor.Anxiously, she looked inthe direction where Kathleen's voice came from Kathleen was leering at her coldly as she got closer.Kathleen began to interrogate Jennifer. “What are you doing with the fruit platter Timothy hadeaten from?“Jennifer bit her lip. “I'm helping him clean up.”“Your role in the film crew is an actor.You're not the film crew's housekeeper. What would prompt you to clean up the fruits?” Kathleenasked in a bone-chilling tone.”l like him. Sometimes, I secretly take care of some chores for him.What's wrong with that?” It seemed as if Jennifer had already thought of a reason andexcuse.However, Kathleen snickered in response. “I don't care if you have a secret crush on him orthat you're invading his privacy. I'm not interested in those. But I only want to know why you're onlyclearing Timothy's fruit platter if you're cleaning his stuff.”“I'm afraid that the fruits would startstinking up the place if they go rotten,” Jennifer explained hastily.Kathleen scoffed, “Hah! You sureknow how to come up with excuses for your behavior.”Jennifer bit her lips once more. “I don'tunderstand what you mean."“Jennifer, let me ask you something about the fruit platter whichTimothy got for us. Is it true that you came into contact with the platter Timothy gave me beforepassing it to his assistant, who then passed it to me? Why did you do that?"“I don't know whatyou're talking about.” Jennifer refused to admit anything.Kathleen sniggered, “Ha! Timothy'sassistant told me that she was handed a fruit platter from you and was asked to deliver it to me. Sheeven informed me that she questioned your motives. You then answered that I love to eatstrawberries and that the platter you held had much larger strawberries. Isn't that right?"Jenniferremained silent.Kathleen continued speaking in her cold tone. “You really do understand me, don'tyou? You know my favorite food. You're putting so much thought and effort into poisoning me todeath that you didn't expect that Timothy would be the one to be poisoned in the end. Am Iright?"Jennifer jerked her head up suddenly. She glared viciously at Kathleen. “What do you meanby poisoning you to death? I don't know what you're talking about!"Kathleen drawled on, “Jennifer,I've heard that we belong to the same school. During our first year's freshmen performance, I playedthe part of the female lead. However, you believed that I stole the part from you, correct?"“That'sthe truth, isn't it?” Jennifer shot an icy glare at Kathleen.”Of course not. Before the performance, thecast for the female lead wasn't set in stone. While some people claimed that it was you who got therole, it wasn't confirmed. Back then, apart from you and me, there were others vying for the part aswell. We were all waiting for the news, and it was only at the end when it was finally revealed that Igot the part. But you couldn't accept it and decided to quit school. Afterward, you convincedyourself that I was the one who led you to where you are. But in fact, I did nothing to you. You'rethe one who brought all your problems on yourself!” Kathleen lectured mercilessly.”Bullsh*t! It'sbecause of you! You're beautiful, you have amazing acting skills, and everyone adores you. Theycouldn't see anyone else but you, which is why they picked you. I'm amazing too, but just becauseyou look beautiful, they gave the opportunity to you! It's not fair!” Jennifer shrieked.”Jennifer, it'swise to consider all options when we're looking to pay for something. The fact that I look good isout of my hands. However, in terms of acting skills, I'm most definitely better than you. What do youhave to complain about? Or do you truly think that I'm somehow ruining you just because you thinkthings are unfair?” Kathleen spoke coldly.In response, Jennifer burst out in anger. “Of course it is!You're ruining me! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have quit school, and I might have even won theAcademy Award for Best Actress by now, and I wouldn't have done anything unforgivable! It's allyour fault!”Kathleen was in utter disbelief. “So you admit that you're the one who damaged the wireand poisoned the fruits?"“That's right. I'm the one who did it! I wish to kill you! Go to hell!" Jenniferhowled.She then drew out a fruit knife and charged toward Kathleen, attempting to stab her."Lookout!” someone warned.All of a sudden, a shadow flashed before Kathleen's sight.She was soonwrapped into a warm and sweet-smelling embrace.
