85 Chapter 85: You’d Better Focus On Yourself (1/2)
Lily was scared, so she grabbed the glass before Kylie could reach it. ”It's not a problem with the water; it's me... I just suddenly keep coughing,” she said.
She tightly gripped the glass. If they found out that something was wrong with her drink, she would surely figure it out. Then, it would be inevitable for the property manager to be involved. If everyone found out that she had deliberately framed Kylie, she would lose her position of power in the entertainment industry.
The lighting engineer, the recording director, and even the props man were all wearing disdainful looks.
”This is a test of her acting. Once, Oscar-winning actor Cliff Benjamin mistakenly drank soy sauce, when it was supposed to be cola. He frowned but continued his scene. After the shot, he said that the props were misplaced, and warned everyone to be careful.”
”How could she get The Best Newcomer Award? I think she's only worth The Best Pretentiousness Award.”
”I used to think that Kylie couldn't play the role of Becky well. I never expected that her emotional performance would be so good. Her acting skills have impressed me.”
”Yesterday, during the scene in which Kylie's character kidnaps Sam, I was really excited. I really wanted to push her down for Sam.”
”Yeah, yeah. I really look forward to their love scenes. Oh, my heart beats faster...”

After a short makeup break, they started shooting again.
This time, Lily couldn't tell apart the hallucinogenic water from the regular water. She just had to risk it.
However, the script included more than a single cup. She drank a total of seven cups with Kylie.
Lily's cheeks became very red, and her eyes began to blur.
”Lily, what the hell is going on?! What I want is an insidious villain, not a sexy whore.” Julian was unbearably angry and tossed the script against the ground.
Lily sat on the ground. She saw that Kylie was laughing at her; she was mocking, smug, scornful...
Then she saw her former assistant, Faith, standing in front of Kylie. She was pointing at her wine glass and saying something.
It turned out that Kylie had already known about Lily's tricks, and had deliberately switched their props.
”Kylie, You…you…little bitch. It's you! You did this to me.” Lily rushed at her like a monster.
Faith reacted quickly and pulled Kylie away. ”You deserve it. You're the one who harmed yourself. You can't blame others.”
When Lily saw that Faith was standing by Kylie's side, she became even angry.
”You bitch, did you overhear my conversation with the property manager? Did you switch the glasses?” Lily pointed at Faith, shouting.
At that moment, the property master happened to pass by. She quickly picked up the flagon off the table. ”I didn't tell you anything, don't destroy my reputation.” After that, the property manager quickly walked away.
Faith looked at Lily and asked peacefully: ”You look uncomfortable; should I get you a doctor?”
”That's my business.” Lily kicked at the table and tugged hard at the neck of her shirt.
The hallucinogens were working, and she was uncomfortable. It felt like ants were biting her body.
The other people around her noticed that she was not fine. Khloe tried to help her to her feet, but Lily pushed her to the ground.
Julian called two security guards to take her away. In front of a gathering crowd, Lily struggled wildly.
”Don't touch me. You bastards! You're all idiots! You're all her accomplices!
