59 Chapter 59: Someone Wanted to Harm Her

It all happened so quickly that no had realized Edie had fallen into the water. All Edie could feel was the overwhelming feeling of water coming into her nose. It made her unable to breathe. She subconsciously opened her mouth to call for help, and water came rushing in.

She had slipped when the heel came off her shoe and sprained her ankle. Now with her ankle pain and being stimulated by the water, she seemed to be getting symptoms of a cramp.

Queenie was also astonished and was about to rush over and try to help her, but someone moved much faster than her. It was Charles.

He swiftly plunged into the water and swam over to Edie. Edie felt as though she had been in the water for a long time, but it was only a few seconds, and Charles had rescued her. She immediately thought about the strange woman who was in the changing room. Something just didn't add up. The shoes that she wore were a luxury brand. They were not made of poor quality, so how did the heel break?

Someone wanted to harm her. This thought flashed through her mind, and she automatically knew who it was. Charles brought Edie up to the side of the pool and anxiously asked, "Are you alright, E…"

Rhoda was so upset. She grabbed a big towel and ran over to her. Charles was just to call out her name, and Edie raised her hand and started to use sign language, saying, "I am fine." Then she opened her eyes weakly. She was still acting, although this was an accident.

The director saw Edie's movements in the monitor and instantly understood her intentions. He raised his handfast to prevent crew members from stopping and gestured to continue filming.

Charles was an experienced actor. He had witnessed many accidents, and he immediately figured out Edie's intentions.

Edie had actually integrated this accident into the play, adding such an incredible plot to the movie. Charles had such admiration for her and quickly adjusted his expression to join himself in the play. He turned and shouted angrily at Queenie, "Abbey, why did you push Susan? You know that she can't swim!"

Queenie widened her eyes. She had never expected that Susan would fall into the pool, and her eyes were full of regret. The director shouted, "Cut! That's a wrap!" Right after those words, Rhoda rushed over and wrapped the big towel around Edie.

The director watched it again from the monitor. The more he saw it, the more satisfied he was, and he praised Edie. "That was amazing. What made you think of falling into the pool. It was so tense. You are a clever woman. I loved it."

Edie had forced herself to finish the play, and now she was freezing. She could barely smile at the director to thank him for his compliments. Her voice trailed off as she gazed up at him; all emotion had been drained from her face without any redness on her face.

Edie looked so uncomfortable, so Queenie said to her assistant, "Go to the car and bring me a blanket. She is shivering." Then she said to Edie, "You need to get these wet clothes off and dry yourself off." Edie nodded, "Thank you, Queenie, for being so kind to me."

Her face was so full of regret, and this time she wasn't acting. Queenie felt terrible. "Don't thank me! I am the one who should be blamed for this. I couldn't control my strength, and I pushed you into the pool. It's all my fault. Let's get you changed before you get sick."

Edie quickly took her clothes off in the changing room, and all of a sudden, she started to sneeze.

Rhoda was distraught, "Edie, you may be catching a cold. You should take some medicine when you get back to your room. I don't understand how this could happen. Queenie didn't push you that hard. Was it the quality of the shoes? I just don't understand?" Rhonda kept saying it over and over.

Edie looked into Rhoda's eyes. "The problem is not the quality of the shoes. This was not an accident. Someone did this intentionally." Rhoda did not understand, "What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Edie bent over to pick up the shoe and handed it to Rhoda.

Where the heel had been broken, there was a very smooth section. It was apparent that it had been cut with some kind of tool. Rhoda had been in the entertainment circle for a long time, and she was by no means stupid. As soon as she looked at the shoe, she instantly knew that someone had tampered with the shoe.

"It is obvious that someone used a knife to cut the heel in half. So, when Queenie pushed you, the heel split because of the pressure."

Edie nodded, "Yes, I think you are right, but who did it, and when did they do it?" Rhoda thought for a moment and looked up at the changing room. She suddenly realized, "I know! When you came to change your clothes, there was a woman who rushed out in a hurry. She kept her head down and wouldn't even look at me."

Edie smiled lightly, "I thought she would stop after what happened the last time. I didn't expect her to be so evil and try such a stupid trick. You exactly know who I am talking about, don't you?"

"Yes, I do. Edie, should we tell the director about this?"

"Tell the director? The filming has to continue, and there is no one to take her place. So the director will not punish her. He will only make excuses for her, and that will make her even prouder. Plus, there is no evidence that she actually did it. We need evidence, and then we can expose her."

"What should we do then?"

Edie's eyes suddenly cooled down, "She has tried to harm me several times, and now it's my turn. It's time for payback. Let's pack the shoes up."

Rhoda put the shoes into a bag. Edie left the changing room, and Queenie was still waiting for her outside. Edie saw Queenie and wanted to say something, but she felt her nose start to tickle. She sneezed, covering her nose and mouth.

Queenie saw her, and her expression on her face was even more guilty. "Edie, I am really sorry. I think you are getting a cold, and it's all my fault." Edie had nothing but admiration for Queenie. She was a famous actress, and even though Edie was an infamous actress, Queenie sincerely cared about Edie's well being.

Edie smiled at Queenie with soothing comfort, "It is okay, Queenie, this is not your fault."

Queenie shook her head, "It was so unprofessional of me to do something like this. I really didn't know how strong I was. I guess I have not mastered my strength."

Edie hesitated for a moment and handed the bag with the shoe in it to Queenie. "Queenie, look at this." Queenie took it, and with a confused look on her face, she wasn't exactly sure what Edie was showing her.

She saw the shoe with a broken heel in the bag. Her face became serious. She took out the shoe to look at it carefully, and then her eyes changed instantly. "There's something wrong with it!" Queenie thought for a moment and looked at Edie, "Is it, Zoe?"

Queenie didn't know about all the other things that Zoe had done to Edie, but now she knew the truth. Edie was surprised to see how sensitive Queenie was. "Edie, how did you know it was done intentionally?
