Chapter 192 The Best Actress Could Be Me
Kathleen’s scenes were very simple that day.
Cain arranged to shoot scenes that involved more dialogues on her part as his way of looking after her.
Her scenes that day relied heavily on expressions and emotions instead of physical prowess.
Those were easy tasks for Kathleen.
The filming 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.” Kathleen gestured 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 break room.
Once they had arrived, Valerie asked, “Kate, do you want to have a bite?”
Kathleen nodded. “All right. Timothy did put in the effort to have them delivered. It would be inappropriate if I don’t eat them.”
Valerie then opened the box.
It was packed full of a myriad of fruits.
Kathleen picked up a fork and popped a strawberry into her mouth.
Valerie was about to have one as well when Kathleen frowned and stopped her. “Hold on!”
Taken aback, Valerie asked, “What’s wrong?”
Kathleen opened her bag and took out a silver needle. She then poked it into the strawberry.
In a few seconds, the silver needle turned black.
“What in the world is going on?” Valerie cried out, astonished.
Kathleen sniffed the strawberry. “It’s poisoned.”
“What?” Valerie exclaimed.
“This is a type of poison capable of restricting the human’s respiratory system. Its toxicity is less potent than cyanide, but it’s still lethal nonetheless,” Kathleen explained. Then, with a cold tone, she instructed, “Valerie, call the police.”
“I’m on it!” Valerie picked up her phone.
However, after a short instance of deliberation, Kathleen grabbed Valerie’s hand. She then spoke in an icy tone. “Forget it. Whoever did this left no traces behind. There’s no point in calling the police.”
Valerie frowned. “So what do we do then?”
After a moment of consideration, Kathleen whispered something into Valerie’s ear.
Once Valerie was done listening, she nodded. “Should I go now?”
Kathleen nodded. “Yes.”
Valerie promptly turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Kathleen stared at the strawberry on her fork with a cold gaze. Jennifer sure is reckless. But from where did she get a poison like this? This is too weird.
Ten minutes later, Timothy’s assistant ran out of his break room. The assistant yelled, “Bad news! It looks like Mr. Currah had been poisoned!”
Everyone panicked upon hearing that.
They dashed straight into the break room to check up on Timothy.
He lay on the floor, unconscious.
“Quick, get an ambulance!” Spencer bellowed.
Timothy’s assistant immediately picked up his phone to call an ambulance.
“He was fine just now. How on earth did he get poisoned?”
