Chapter 367 The Look Before the End

Lavendar asked the shop owner whether they could make a private deal. She said she really needed it and hoped the seller could just mail it to her directly.

One day passed. Then two. Then three. The shop never replied.

On the fourth day, the seller finally answered.

The response was blunt. “No.”

Lavender was furious. She demanded to know why not and said she was willing to pay a premium. The seller only told her that the shop restocked at the beginning of every month and didn’t allow private transactions.

Lavender argued with the seller for quite a while.

In the end, the seller simply stopped responding.

Left’with no other choice, she went online and tried offering a high price for the skin–regenerating cream.

No one paid her any attention there either.

So when the beginning of the month arrived today, she went to check the store first thing in the morning.

And what did she find?

A notice. The owner said they had been busy lately, so the restock would likely be delayed. There wasn’t even a specific date.

That made Lavender even angrier.

Those tiny red bumps on her body had spread quickly. A few had even started appearing on her face. She was terrified that if it didn’t get better soon, her whole face would end up covered in them.

So now, seeing Scarlett with skin as smooth and delicate as porcelain, of course she felt awful.

She had even forgotten that last time, Scarlett had slapped her from a distance. Her face had hurt for days.

Unable to help herself, Lavender stopped and greeted Scarlett.

“Scarlett, what a coincidence. You’ve joined the production too?”

Of course, she hadn’t approached Scarlett with any good intentions. She knew Scarlett wouldn’t respond warmly. She might even snap at her. That was exactly the result Lavender wanted.

Last time, Scarlett had exposed the truth about pushing her three years ago. Some netizens had believed it, but Lavender’s fans naturally hadn’t.

Now she wanted Scarlett to keep playing the villain so she could win more sympathy for herself.

Even as she greeted Scarlett, Lavender instinctively shifted half a step to the side. It was obvious she was

still worried Scarlett might slap her again.

But Scarlett only looked at her once, turned away expressionlessly, and kept walking.

The staff, director, and actors beside Scarlett were all a little stunned.

Alright then. Scarlett was still Scarlett. She wasn’t the pure and innocent Princess Mona after all.

During the walk over, they had almost unconsciously started believing the person before them really was Princess Mona. They had nearly forgotten Scarlett’s actual temperament.

It wasn’t until this moment, when she faced Lavender with that blank, cold expression, that they remembered.

This wasn’t Mona. This was Scarlett.

Scarlett, who wouldn’t say a single extra word to someone she disliked, and might even get physical.

When she saw Scarlett walk away, Lavender was so angry she almost stamped her foot.

But she held it in and said pitifully to the people around her, “Why is Scarlett always so cold to other people? I never said those things. I don’t know why she keeps insisting I cursed her mother…”

The staff around her said nothing. They only felt that Scarlett might have gone a little too far.

But Scarlett couldn’t have cared less about Lavender. Lavender’s retribution had already begun.

Very soon, Scarlett slipped back into Princess Mona’s state again. The people beside her quietly let out a small breath of relief.

Once they reached the garden, Calvert directed the crew to position the equipment and handle the rest of the setup.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready. The actors were in place too.

Calvert stared at the monitor, raised a hand, and called out, “Action.”

Filming began.

Dressed in red, Princess Mona moved like a lively little spirit. Lifting her skirt, she slipped past the palace servants, peeked around the moon gate, and quietly entered the imperial garden.

There was a shy sweetness in her face beneath all that brightness, along with the delight of someone about to see the person she loved. Her vivid eyes shone with anticipation as she looked toward the hanging flower gate ahead.

In just a moment, she would see the one she had been longing for.

Then, in the very next instant, all the liveliness, shyness, and joy on her face froze.

Mona lowered her head. A long sword had pierced straight through her abdomen.
