My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34

When Eliza arrived at the hospital, Roseane was already there waiting for her. When Roseane caught sight of Eliza, she got out of the car, took her by the hand, and strode into the hospital. Behind them, paparazzi swarmed around like flies and quickly caught up with them. Roseane brought Eliza to the Department of Injury Assessment. Only after she sat down did Eliza realize that Roseane had brought her here for an injury assessment because of the slap Madeleine gave her. “Forget about that.” She smiled faintly and unbuttoned her shirt, revealing a shoulder wrapped in gauze. Then she said, “It’d be better if you could assess this injury instead.” Beside her, Roseane’s eyes widened in shock. “Eliza, what happened…” Eliza gently removed the gauze, revealing the wound which Jay had torn. “Someone had replaced a prop with an actual weapon when I acted as a stunt double. I got injured and the wound has yet to heal.” “What happened yesterday wasn’t me being unprofessional, nor was it an accident. Jay happened to graze against my wound while acting.” Roseane was stunned for a moment, and then things became clear to her. No wonder they could get footage of Eliza trying to ‘seduce’ Jay! “I wouldn’t call this grazing against the wound.” The doctor let out a sigh while examining Eliza’s wound. “It’s plain to see that he had forcibly torn open her wound, which isn’t even healed yet!” “Good heavens, how did you manage to endure it?” The doctor sighed faintly while he dressed her wound. “You have to take proper care of your wound. You can’t have people just tearing it open like that again.” Eliza nodded and kept quiet. Roseane looked on at Eliza’s bloody wound in shock. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, “They did it on purpose, didn’t they?” “Yes.” Eliza smiled bitterly. “Madeleine was there when I got injured.” Without further hesitation, Roseane had the doctor produce an injury assessment report for Eliza’s wound and proceeded to post it online. “Eliza is more than just my stunt double. She is also my friend. As a friend, I cannot stand by and watch her being treated unjustly. I must speak out for her!” Soon, Roseane’s post began trending online.

There were even professionals who attested to the validity of the report. A staff member on the set also revealed that the stunt woman, Ms. Lawson, had indeed injured her shoulder because of an accident. Someone even took screenshots from the video Madeleine posted to prove that Jay had dug his finger right where Eliza’s wound was. That caused an instant uproar on the Internet. So the so-called seduction was just a mess up? Was it a misunderstanding on Madeleine’s side? Right then, a newly registered account by the name of “Moon Among the Stars” appeared and commented: It definitely wasn’t a mess up, nor was it a misunderstanding! With ample evidence of footage from surveillance cameras set up at all angles on the set and the cameras which were still rolling when the incident happened, along with photos captured candidly by reporters on the set, Moon Among the Stars brought to light what had actually happened on the set the day before. 2 The news immediately went viral on the Internet. The netizens who had jumped on the bandwagon and joined Madeleine in bashing Eliza all went silent.

Other netizens were shocked to find that it was all just a ruse which Madeleine had single handedly devised.

“How could this be possible!” In a fit of anger, Madeleine gave the tablecloth a sharp tug, sending all the vases and teacups on the table clattering to the floor, shattering into a million pieces on the ground in Jay’s studio. Staring at the trending post entitled “Roseane Comtois Defends Friend”, Madeleine’s eyes were filled with resentment!

She was sure that her plan was flawless! Who would have known that Roseane would actually speak up for someone as insignificant as Eliza?

Moreover, hadn’t she already been fired today?

“Madeleine!”
