Chapter 289: Chapter 289: A Huge Cauldron Falls from the Sky

Scarlett Jennings’s statement came as a surprise to Sebastian and the others.

Although Scarlett didn’t show it, they could sense she was bothered by the hassle of filming.

They didn’t understand it, but after several episodes, all the guests had learned to prioritize Scarlett’s opinions; hearing her say this, they dropped the subject without pressing further.

Director Clark and another director also breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Director Clark found himself relieved too early.

Both the guests and the audience in the live stream quickly realized the problem.

...

"Hestia, your expression is a bit stiff, don’t deliver your lines too rigidly."

"Hestia, smile bitterly, but don’t laugh while crying..."

"Hestia, here you need to portray the protagonist’s inner conflict, not just pure resentment.

She has always been secretly protecting you, albeit with some extreme methods, but you should feel grateful, sympathetic for what she’s been through, yet disapprove of her methods, and finally, the hatred."

The set was incredibly quiet; everyone could clearly hear Director Clark’s tone shift from relaxed, to doubtful, to speechless.

He even began to analyze the character’s psychology for her.

Ianthe Lawson initially admitted her mistake, saying she wasn’t in the right state, but as she was criticized more, her expression showed some embarrassment and even impatience.

Though she tried to control her expression, it wasn’t hard for a director adept at capturing the nuances of character expressions to notice her emotions.

He couldn’t understand what was going on with Ianthe Lawson. Previously, she caught on quickly, so why now...

Did she look like a newbie actor encountering the industry for the first time?

And an untalented newbie at that.

Hestia Knight felt wronged, and after hearing the director’s psychological analysis of the character, she even thought they were deliberately picking on her for vengeance.

Listen to all that nonsense he said.

Grateful yet hateful, sympathetic yet doubtful?

A person only has one face; how could someone express so many mixed emotions all at once?

She said not to randomly change the script; the original version was fine!

The mysterious man’s identity as the second male lead was revealed, and she only needed to show shock and disbelief, then righteously stop the opponent from continuing his actions.

Even if they had to change the scene, it should have been that the second male lead, lovesick and angry, used force to make her marry, and when she refused, he threatened her using the male lead’s life. She, for the male lead, had no choice but to marry the second male lead...

Hestia thought the plot she came up with offhand was better than the revised version the writer wrote.

This writer was not professional at all.

Who knew what Director Clark was thinking, insisting on such a change.

Probably because Scarlett Jennings was trending, they deliberately revised the scene to cater to her.

And he was supposed to be a famous director...

Hestia naturally thought so, accidentally showing a bit of disdain.

Director Clark painstakingly explained the scene to her, only to see her expression of disdain, which he couldn’t overlook anymore, making his expression and tone turn cold.

"Ms. Lawson, do you have any other opinions on what I just said?"

From Hestia to the formulaic Ms. Lawson, his tone was cold and distant.

Even Hestia, being slow, could feel the displeasure.

Feeling a bit regretful, she quickly adjusted her expression and sincerely apologized,

"I’m sorry, Director Clark, today... I’m not in the best state. It wasn’t intentional."

She spoke, glancing at the program crew’s photographer and staff standing nearby, instinctively shifting the blame,

"It’s just, it’s just that there are too many people from the program group today, with so many viewers watching, I, I got a bit nervous."

Her words left everyone present and the live-stream audience stunned.

What was that?

People watching the live stream at home, and suddenly a massive blame was thrown on them out of nowhere!

[Is it my fault??]

[Shall I leave???]

[Never thought watching a live stream could be a mistake, this girl sure knows how to shift the blame!!]

[Lol! First time hearing that an actor’s poor performance is the audience’s fault, isn’t being watched while filming basic stuff?!]

[Someone is just too conceited, are we watching for you?! We’re here for our girl! If my girl weren’t acting alongside you, who would care to watch you!]

[Who claimed this girl was professionally the best at acting?]

[Where are the fangirls? Come out and critique your exemplary sister’s acting skills!]

Some sensible fangirls kept silent, but seasoned fans spoke out.

[Hestia said she’s not in her best state today, do we really need to make a big deal out of it? Can any actor guarantee they’ll get it right in one take?]

[Exactly, acting depends on the partner too, right? If the partner acts well, how would our Hestia fail to get into the right state?]

[Take a look at my fierce temper!!! Blaming my girl because their acting isn’t good, are you bullying our girl because she doesn’t have anyone backing her?!]

Seeing the live stream chat about to explode again, quite a few passersby and fans stepped in to mediate.

[I’m a fan, but I also feel Hestia’s state is odd today.]

[Take a look at the public’s sharp eyes!]

[To be honest, Ianthe Lawson seems possessed, doesn’t she?]

[The one above, you might have hit the truth.]

Seeing this, the show’s guests also realized something was wrong.

Noticing that "Ianthe Lawson" was still arguing with Director Clark, Evander Simpson came quietly to Scarlett Jennings and asked in a low voice,

"Is she possessed?"

Scarlett shook her head, "There’s no Shadow Energy on her, nor any other Living Soul."

The only thing certain was that the person in front of them was definitely not the original Ianthe Lawson.

Even with a change in makeup, a person’s face couldn’t suddenly undergo such a big change, especially as time went on, and the facial changes continued to occur little by little.

It was as if...

She was transforming from the original Ianthe Lawson into someone else.

It was the first time Scarlett encountered such a situation; unsure of the reason, she didn’t dare act rashly.

Thinking it over, Scarlett softly told Evander,

"I’ll keep an eye here; you go check her dressing room."

Ianthe Lawson was separated from them only during the makeup change period, and the transformation happened after the makeup change. If there was something, it should have happened in the dressing room.

Scarlett, at the moment, drew too much attention. To avoid alerting this "Ianthe Lawson," sending Evander was more appropriate.

Upon hearing her words, Evander understood her intention.

Nodding, he gradually retreated to where Sebastian Carew and the others were standing.

He whispered, "Cover for me."

Sebastian, Amber Livingston, and Ariel Zimmerman exchanged a glance and then, in perfect harmony, stood in a line, concealing Evander behind them.

The photographer responsible for following Evander tried to continue, but Amber promptly grabbed him.

While it was okay usually, following now would be too conspicuous.

Though Scarlett and Evander spoke softly, with the photographer always filming them, their every move and word were captured by the live-stream viewers.

For a moment, the audience in the live stream forgot their squabble, and everyone watched with wide eyes as they finished their quiet dialogue.

They immediately called out silently.

This Ianthe Lawson actually had a ghost with her!
