Chapter 89

"Don't try to learn from Ashley and Mary."

"At that time, your mother simply asked your two sisters to appear in that reality TV series, Family Fun, for fun. She said it would only be filmed for one season. But unexpectedly, it became very popular. Plus, Disney's strong invitation led us to film several more seasons."

"Later, we realized your two sisters were very talented and suited for acting careers, so we continued with it."

"But back then, your mother had time to look after your sisters and make sure they weren't being taken advantage of or mistreated. But now, she doesn't have that kind of time anymore."

Janet Olsen patiently explained to her daughter.

"But Mom, why did you agree to let me audition for this movie?" Elizabeth asked.

"Because of Martin!" Mary Olsen chimed in, "Mom trusts Martin and believes he can take good care of you on set."

Ashley Olsen smiled and added, "Martin, you won't refuse to look after our little sister, right?"

To be honest, when faced with these two sisters, Martin often felt like he was dealing with a pair of adults, not 13-year-old children. This wasn't far from the truth. Since they were ten, under the guidance of Janet Olsen, the sisters had been involved in company management and film production.

Thanks to their parents' guidance, at just 13, they already understood the dangers of the entertainment industry and had started making plans for their futures.

The reason was simple: the Gemini company could protect them for a while, but it couldn't shield them forever. As they grew older, bigger industry players would notice them, and they would become the "big fish" in the pond.

The sisters had been looking for ways to transform themselves since they were ten, using their fame to break into other industries such as clothing, jewelry, beauty, perfume, and even gaming. This strategy helped them build important relationships.

This year, the sisters designed their own clothing line, and their sales have already surpassed $800 million.

How could such children be considered immature?

In contrast, Elizabeth, though also ten years old, had been well-protected by her mother and sisters. She remained innocent and pure.

By the way, after the Olsen sisters' parents divorced, their father remarried. Despite this, the two families maintained good relationships. Janet Olsen didn't change her surname after the divorce, and the two families often gathered. Elizabeth also had a half-brother, Jack Olson, who was very close with his three sisters.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Elizabeth," Martin assured Janet Olsen.

Janet smiled and said, "Elizabeth is very sensible. She won't cause you any trouble. We also hired a nanny as an on-site guardian."

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I don't need a nanny," Elizabeth complained, feeling embarrassed in front of Martin.

"My dear, you don't have the right to refuse just yet."

"Look, look, this is the queen mother of our family!" Elizabeth quipped, making everyone laugh.

Elizabeth's arrival lightened the atmosphere on set.

Especially Martin, who no longer wore his usual gloomy expression. He often chatted with Elizabeth after filming, laughing together.

The other Elizabeth, Elizabeth Shue, also grew fond of the little girl who shared her name. She would tease her whenever there was free time, and the two Elizabeths frequently shared snacks.

As time passed, Elizabeth's scenes were completed.

The little girl didn't have many scenes, but she displayed considerable acting talent and quickly got into the right mood.

Today marked her last scene. She would be taken home by her mother the next day.

After nightfall, the crew was about to shoot the highlight of the film.

Robert De Niro's character, the father, kills Elizabeth. Markle, played by Martin, calls a female psychiatrist for help. When the psychiatrist arrives, a confrontation ensues between her and the father, whose personality is split. Markle and the psychiatrist escape to a nearby cave, where they end up shooting and killing the father.

After rehearsing the scene several times, director John Poulsen felt that the actors were ready and decided to officially begin filming.

The scene unfolded without Elizabeth Olsen, as her character was not involved in this section. In this part, Robert De Niro would portray two personalities, and Martin would express both fear of his father and a desire to protect him.

"Action!"

With the cue, Robert De Niro's face darkened as his "murderous" father persona took over.

As the father pushed his girlfriend, played by Elizabeth Shue, down the stairs, his face was filled with cold, intense emotions. The struggle between the two personalities was clearly visible.

He then approached Martin's character, Markle, and father and son locked eyes.

Martin, already deeply immersed in Markle's state of mind, trembled slightly. His lips quivered, and his eyes conveyed the internal battle. He wanted to run but held himself back, facing his father bravely.

Everyone could see the struggle within him, the urge to flee clashing with his resolve to stay.

The father's original personality then returned, and Robert De Niro's expression softened instantly.

"Markle, where's Elizabeth? She said she wanted to stay with you today?"

Martin trembled as he pointed downstairs.

"She's down there. Why doesn't she come up?" the father murmured, walking downstairs.

Martin, his eyes filled with desperation, hid behind a door and watched his father disappear upstairs.

Once his father was out of sight, Martin quickly grabbed the phone and called the female psychiatrist.

"Okay, this part is good. Now let's shoot the chase and escape scene," John Poulsen shouted with satisfaction.

Robert De Niro, needing a break, headed outside to smoke a cigarette. As he passed by Elizabeth Olsen, he automatically greeted her, only to be met with an unexpected reaction.

"Wow!" Elizabeth burst into tears.

Hearing her cry, Martin quickly rushed over and stared at Robert De Niro suspiciously. "What happened?!"

Robert raised his hands in frustration, showing his innocence. "I didn't do anything. I just said hello."

"Elizabeth, what's wrong? Is someone bullying you? Tell me, and I'll help you vent your anger." Martin glanced at Robert again.

If that old boy dared touch his collection, he wouldn't let him get away with it!

Robert De Niro, on the other hand, silently pleaded his innocence.

Elizabeth, between tears, explained, "He... he... he was so scary just now. I was scared."

Martin, Robert, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. The last thing they needed was a scandal on set that would affect the movie.

"Okay, Elizabeth, you have to understand, that was just acting. That's not the real Robert. The real Robert is a good man, okay?"

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry," Elizabeth responded.

"No need to apologize. It's not your fault. It's all Uncle Robert's acting skills!" Martin said with a smile.

Robert De Niro couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. Was Martin scolding him, or was he praising him?
