Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Selena could feel the blade of the scalpel pressing harder on her neck. Her face was becoming paler by the second.

Everleigh said, “Selena, you know how short-tempered I am. Until you apologize, I won’t play along with you any longer. Now, if this scalpel makes a cut on this beautiful face of yours, could you still be an actress?”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Hearing this, Selena’s heart sank, and she said in a panic, “I’ll apologize. I’m sorry.”

“Call me ‘sister.'”

Selena gritted her teeth and said, “I’m sorry, sister.”

“That’s more like it.” Satisfied, Everleigh put down her hand and let her go.

As soon as Selena was released, she immediately retreated behind the door and kept a safe distance from Everleigh. She covered her neck with one hand and said breathlessly, “Everleigh, you’re mad. I’m going to report you to the police. I’ll have them throw you in jail for manslaughter.”

“Go ahead.” Everleigh crossed her arms and raised her chin, motioning towards the scalpel on the table. She said calmly, “I’ve left all the evidence for you. I hope the police can use this blunt scalpel as evidence.”

“What? Blunt?” Selena was shocked. Then she looked at the table.

The scalpel was just a prop; it couldn’t even cut an apple. It was obviously not the scalpel that Everleigh frequently used.

“Are you kidding me?” Selena almost went mad with rage.

“I was just trying to scare you.” Everleigh pulled out the chair and sat down. “You’ve also apologized, so I’ll let bygones be bygones. Do you still want to learn?”

Knowing Selena’s temper, she wanted to stomp out of there. However, Crystal stopped her. “Selena, you have to learn. The director specifically stated that you had to be the one in the scene, so we can’t use a double.”

Everleigh gave her a calm and collected look, and Selena felt bitter, just looking at her.

“Fine, I’ll learn!” She almost gnashed her teeth and said, “Get the crew to sign me up for some insurance. If not, I won’t continue filming. Who knows when I’ll die on set.”

Everleigh had always kept her word since she was young. She was the first daughter of her father, the apple of the Trevino family’s eye. Not only that, but she was also gifted and was able to do pretty much everything.

She did not need extra tutoring and was always top in the class. She was good at the piano and art. On the other hand, Selena went to dancing classes at a young age. Even when she was just observing the class on her holiday, she could immediately master the steps. The teacher could not help but praise her.

Selena hated her sister. When she was a child, she often wrote in her diary that she hoped that Everleigh would disappear one day.

Seven years ago, that wish finally came true. However, after seven years, she was back again. It was like a continuous nightmare.

“Like this. When you’re suturing, you’ll need both hands.”

“…”

“Wait, there’s something wrong here.” Everleigh tried to guide Selena’s hand, but Selena snatched her hand away. Everleigh saw that Selena was trembling, and she lifted her head to see Everleigh’s face in horror.

Seeing her like that, Everleigh suddenly felt a little guilty.

She was furious about what had happened yesterday. All she wanted was an apology from her. She only wanted to scare her with the scalpel, but who knew she was terrified. That only worsened the misunderstanding between them.

There was a knock on the door. It was a crew member. “Dr. Trevino, the director would like to know how things are. If you’re almost done, we can try one take.”

“Not very good.” Everleigh looked at the knot that Selena tied on the human model and frowned.

“What, why?” Selena felt displeased at what she said. She shoved the props away. “I’m not a professional doctor. Isn’t this just for show?”

She had been practicing the whole morning and was running out of patience.

The crew member could only scratch his head.

Everleigh hesitated for a while and said, “How about this? Let’s try one take, and I’ll guide from the side. Then, we can see what the director wants and practice more.”

“You could’ve said that earlier.” Selena did not appreciate her effort at all. She moved her wrists in circular motions and stood up, “What a waste of my time.”

After saying this, she left without looking back. The remaining staff smiled at Everleigh and said, “Dr. Trevino, please don’t mind her. The weather is too hot, and everyone is in a bad mood.”

Everleigh forced a smile and said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll pack up and get ready for the shoot.”

“I can do it. Just leave everything on the table.”

“Okay.”

After Everleigh left and closed the door behind her, the staff turned to face the table. The smile on his face immediately fell when he took a look at all the props on the table.

In the operating room, all kinds of surgical instruments were laid out.

After checking, Everleigh said to the director, “No problem, you can start.”

According to the script, the female lead would be operating on the male lead. Her entire face would be covered by a mask, so she could only express herself through her eyes.

Selena did not have any problems in acting. After all, she graduated from an acting school and had been in the industry for a long time. Unfortunately, she could not say the same for her surgery skills.

“Cut, we can’t use this.” The director glanced at Everleigh. “We can’t, right?”

Everleigh nodded and said, “It’s terrible.”

“Even someone like me could tell that it’s fake. The way you held the scalpel was wrong. Do it again. Dr. Trevino, please guide her. If she still can’t do it, you’ll need to sub in.”

As soon as she heard the Everleigh would replace her, Selena was visibly unhappy.

The staff was busy preparing the props. Everleigh walked around the camera to the operating table. As soon as she took two steps, she heard greetings from behind her.

“Mr. Godfrey.”

“Hello, Mr. Godfrey.”

Her chest tightened. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the entrance of the operating room and saw Theodore’s figure. Upon walking in, Theodore’s six-foot-tall figure was hard to miss.

“Mr. Godfrey is here?” Selena’s eyes lit up, and she started taking off her gloves.

Everleigh came to her senses and stopped her.

“What are you doing?” Selena’s face sank.

“The director asked me to teach you the correct method.”

“You… you can teach me later.”

Everleigh grabbed onto her wrist firmly. “We’re rushing to finish this scene. The sooner we’re done, the earlier we can leave. You don’t want Mr. Godfrey to think you’re a joke, do you?”

The only thing that could stop Selena was Theodore. When she heard his name, she composed herself. She stared at Everleigh, “Me, a joke?”

“Then you should practice hard.”

After saying that, Everleigh put the scalpel back into Selena’s hand.

She knew that Selena had feelings for Theodore, so she had to put a stop to it. That way, she would not do anything stupid to tarnish the Trevino family’s reputation or her own future.

At that moment, Theodore was standing behind the camera and listening to the director and a group of people. However, his gaze was fixed intently on the figure in the shot. He was focused on the figure dressed in a white shirt with casual shorts, who looked the same as she did back in college.

A woman’s intuition was very accurate. Everleigh could feel someone staring at her like a hawk. She did not dare to turn back.
