The whole crew was frightened out of their wits.
Was this not a telescopic sword prepared by the prop team?
Why did it really injure the actress?
"Doctors! Where are the doctors?" The manager immediately hurried to Zoey's side.
The doctors on duty instantly came to give Zoey first aid treatment.
"I, I don't know what's going on. When I was getting it ready, it was indeed a telescopic sword." The staff of the prop team hurriedly shook their heads and explained.
They had to make it clear.
Otherwise, it would be bad if they had to bear the responsibility.
"How's the situation looking now?" The director asked anxiously.
The doctor said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the wound is not very deep. We have already treated it. For the time being, she cannot move. Let her rest for a week before filming. Otherwise, the wound might tear open again."
"Okay, I understood." The director nodded.
He couldn't believe that such a thing would happen to his crew.
Everyone was puzzled.
Suddenly, Zoey's assistant walked out angrily and yelled.
"What on earth is your crew doing? Why is there a problem with the props? Luckily, Zoey was not fatally stabbed. If that really happened, I guess the crew would probably be scolded to death."
The director knew that the crew was at fault.
Although the assistant's words were unpleasant to the ear, it was not appropriate for him to refute either.
Therefore, he turned around and scolded the staff of the prop team, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"I, I don't know either. I gave Miss Margaret a telescopic sword. All the props are marked. The real sword is only needed in the next scene."
The staff was so scared that his legs started trembling.
"Are you sure?" The assistant looked at the staff aggressively.
The staff member nodded his head vigorously, "Yes, I'm sure."
He had been working in this field for so many years. It was impossible for him to make such a small mistake.
"In that case, is there someone who is deliberately targeting Zoey?" The assistant raised her eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, why would the telescopic sword be swapped?"
The director had a headache after hearing the assistant's words. He turned to look at the person in charge of the prop team and asked, "Do you remember who came in contact with the props before this?"
"It seems..." The staff suddenly remembered something. He then turned and looked at Margaret, "I think I saw Margaret coming out of the props room this morning."
What?
Margaret?
The director was taken aback. He turned to look at Margaret, "Margaret, is it true? Have you been to the props room in the morning?"
Margaret hesitated for a moment. In the end, she nodded, "Yes!"
"Why did you suddenly go to the props room?" The director felt very strange.
He had never seen Margaret going to any props room before.
Margaret raised her eyebrows.
What should she say? Charleston's words that night made her feel uneasy, so she had decided to walk around the film set.
Thus, when she walked past the props room, she mindlessly went in and took a look around.
"I was just curious, so I went in to take a look, but I definitely did not touch anything!" Margaret said.
"Haha, that's really funny. You went to the props room for no reason and now something like this happened. There's no need for investigate further. You must be the one trying to hurt Zoey." The assistant reprimanded loudly.
Everyone was surprised and could not believe that Margaret turned out to be the culprit.
"That's impossible. Why would Margaret do such a thing for no reason? She's not the type to." The director frowned.
The assistant pointed at Margaret and said, "Director, don't judge a book by its cover. If not, why did she go to the props room for no reason today?"
Margaret scrunched her eyebrows and said, "I already said that I didn't touch anything..."
"The police are here." Someone in the crowd shouted and interrupted Margaret's words.
Margaret's pupils suddenly dilated.
She realized that she had fallen into Zoey's trap.
