CHAPTER 1586: CHAPTER 1586: SPEAKING LIES WITH OPEN EYES

"Since it’s a stand-in, you should act properly, and don’t have useless thoughts. Do you really think you’re some kind of protagonist?"

Summer Lilian spoke with her usual sarcastic tone, but her gaze quietly drifted towards Riley Thompson.

At this moment, Summer Lilian didn’t hold back at all in her mockery of Charlotte Thompson.

In fact, Summer Lilian had already calculated in her mind, even if Charlotte revealed her identity later, she could claim that she didn’t know Charlotte and mistook her for a stand-in.

Such an explanation could block any further comments, and no one would blame her for these "careless" remarks.

Charlotte was looking down at the hem of her clothes; the red wine stain couldn’t be cleaned easily, and since she was still wearing a costume, the outfit might not be suitable for filming later.

Charlotte didn’t mind whether she could appear in the drama or not; she found taking on a new industry quite interesting. However, her good mood was entirely disrupted by someone.

She lifted her gaze, first landing on the director nearby.

"Is this the stand-in’s first time acting in a scene?"

The director was somewhat confused; he had never met Charlotte before, only heard about this Mrs. Battleson from some friends.

Although Charlotte’s voice was calm, the director sensed a slight oppression in it and instinctively replied, "No, they’ve been on stage before."

Hearing the director’s response, Charlotte’s face showed a look of realization, and she turned her gaze towards Summer Lilian’s face.

"Since the stand-in has appeared before, and this lady can’t recognize them, it seems like there’s a vision problem. If necessary, you can wear glasses or, if that doesn’t help, get an eye check-up."

Charlotte paused here, but couldn’t find the crew member who had pulled her over earlier, which surprised her a little.

She flickered her eyes slightly and finally directed her gaze back to Summer Lilian.

"What do you mean by that?" Summer Lilian glared at Charlotte, somewhat dissatisfied.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, then stepped closer to Summer Lilian.

Leaning in so that only the two of them could hear, she spoke softly, "It’s just a pity that such beautiful eyes are used to speak lies, don’t you think so, Miss Lilian?"

No one else knew what Charlotte whispered to Summer Lilian, but they saw Summer Lilian’s face suddenly become very unpleasant.

Yet Charlotte wore an appropriate smile. Although facing the director, her gaze swept over the onlookers.

"This was just a misunderstanding. I was from the set next door; perhaps the costumes were similar, so I was mistaken and brought over."

With these words, Charlotte also explained her identity to everyone, which made the director a bit embarrassed and quickly apologize to Charlotte.

Meanwhile, he was observing Charlotte’s expression, worried that what happened might upset her, which would be detrimental to the crew if involved.

Charlotte shook her head.

Now, she wanted to return to the other set and mention the situation to the director there.

The outfit she was wearing couldn’t be used any longer. She wondered if there was any spare costume available for her to change into.
