Mr. Fairchild's Rose: She is Wild and Proud-Chapter 197 - 177: Returning to the Main Storyline (5,000-Word - ) (Part 2)

But Director Dayne subconsciously ignored a truth.

After a few scenes, each staff member and the lead actors, including Maeve Lane, became familiar with each other.

After getting her makeup done, Maeve Lane was the last to come out.

On the expansive meadow, Julian Fairchild stood beside a steed, dressed in a complex black and gold robe, his black hair tied high with a Mystic Jade Crown, a Jade Belt around his waist, holding a longbow half as tall as a person in his left hand. His face was exquisitely handsome, with angled sword brows and sharp, aloof eyes, brilliant like cold stars.

A few people were scattered around as the assistant director began clearing the scene.

Soon, only a few people remained on the meadow.

Maeve Lane, Julian Fairchild, Summer Ainsworth, Asher Forrest, and some actors playing attendants.

This part of the plot is during the Celestial Dynasty’s Treading the First Snow festival. Gabrielle Moreau, played by Summer Ainsworth, who has always admired Miles Monarch, is unhappy with how Miles favors Ethan Grant, the hostage, even more so than his brothers, so she plans to secretly trip Ethan.

With a call of "action," everyone, with their own thoughts, began to perform.

First up was Ethan Grant, played by Maeve Lane.

She glanced at something appearing in the dense forest ahead, her lips curving into a distinctly youthful grin, "Your Highness, didn’t you always want to hunt a white fox? There’s one just ahead. I had heard Veridia offered a very rare Scarlet Vixen as tribute, its fur conspicuously white in the day and turns a striking red at night. I just took a closer look, and it seems that such a fox is indeed what we have before us."

Julian Fairchild raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction Maeve Lane pointed. Indeed, he saw a pure snow-white little fox in the low shrubbery.

He spoke in the tone of Miles Monarch, "It should be this one; its fur is well-maintained. A few days ago, Veridia sent it over, and this little fox was quite wilted then. Now it’s sleek and glossy."

Gabrielle Moreau, played by Summer Ainsworth, exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Is it this little fox? I’ve always wanted a white fox fur coat."

Asher Forrest, playing Lana Payne, who admires Gabrielle, saw her happy and adopted a scholarly stance, "If you like it, your Forrest will definitely catch it for you and have it made to order and delivered to your residence!"

But Gabrielle did not look at him, bashfully gazing at Miles Monarch, "Miles, could you help me kill that fox?"

Miles gave her a glance, "Of course."

Gabrielle was overjoyed, and Summer Ainsworth nearly lost herself, finally finding a legitimate reason to get close to Julian Fairchild!

All these days without finding a good chance to stir up some heat; if it was another crew and actors, the news would have been all over by now.

She nudged the horse forward, adding drama to herself, "Miles, you’re so good!"

And saying this, she urged the horse to approach.

Maeve Lane carelessly glanced at her from the corner of her eye and quietly closed her eyes.

Sure enough, the next second, there was a sharp whinny from the horse!

A woman cried out in pain, "Ah!"

As it turned out, Summer Ainsworth hadn’t even gotten close to Julian Fairchild before she was shaken off the horse.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Director Dayne interrupted unhappily, signaling to pause filming. He looked at Summer Ainsworth, who had fallen on the ground, feeling quite displeased, "What are you doing? Clearly, you can’t ride yet you’re moving recklessly—didn’t I tell you to just shoot a long shot for this scene and use a fake horse as a stand-in? Why rush over?"

Summer Ainsworth’s fall was a bit awkward. From such a high horse, it was fortunate the grass was soft; otherwise, she might have ended up in the hospital. But even so, her condition wasn’t too good.

She couldn’t utter a word, so Director Dayne eventually had someone check her injuries, then said: "The doctor says there’s no major problem, rest a bit and continue, don’t waste any more time!"

Summer Ainsworth bit her lip and nodded.

Looking over to Julian Fairchild’s position again, he had already left without a glance for her.

Maeve Lane wasn’t the type to overflow with sympathy; when the director called for a break, she left first.

Summer Ainsworth sat on a chair, looked at the wound on her knee, and grew increasingly resentful, then snapped a photo and posted it on Weibo:

Accidentally fell off a horse, it hurts so much, but I have to keep shooting to not affect progress...

Soon, her fans commented:

"How did sis get hurt? Isn’t the crew providing any safety measures? So unprofessional!"

"Summer, don’t work too hard, take a break and ask the director for some time off."

"Our Summer is so dedicated, feels bad yet somewhat comforting."
