Chapter 404

“What exactly do you want?” Henry suddenly looked at him coldly. “I don‘t want anything
except to be your friend.”

Xavier cracked a nonchalant smile as he reached out a hand to pat him on his shoulder. “I know what
you‘re worried about. Don‘t worry. You‘re Weston‘s friend, and I‘m his uncle. How could I possibly do
anything to harm him? At most, I‘ll just fight with him over the family inheritance. Don‘t be so worried.”

On set.

Stella was prepared for what was to come.

The wire that was supposed to be strapped on Guinevere was now tightly secured on her back.

Both ladies were of similar build, and it didn‘t take much time to adjust the harness and wire. In order to
run from this space to the other side of the cliff and then fly back down, the most critical thing was to
maintain balance and keep the movements clean and sharp. That would help make for a good take.

Guinevere‘s movements for this scene differed from those Stella practiced earlier, as the swordsmanship
between the young female warrior and the lead female warrior were from completely different factions.

The young female warrior, played by Stella, was more playful and less skilled in swordsmanship than the
lead female warrior.

As such, there was a vast difference in the difficulty level of both scenes.

Stella tried to do what the instructor taught her earlier but found it rather laborious.

Behind the cameras.

Guinevere sat right next to Bradley and looked at Stella‘s performance through the lenses.



With arched brows, she complained, “Seems like she can‘t get the movements right, either. Why don‘t
we switch to a real professional?”

Bradley remained silent.

Guinevere went on, “She‘s already tried a few times. I‘m afraid if we go on, she might get herself
injured…”

Bradley suddenly pulled out his earphones and looked at her, “When you first suggested for her to be
your double, didn‘t you consider the fact that she might get injured? Now that we‘re in the middle of
filming, you suddenly want to stop everything. What exactly do you want?”

He bellowed unceremoniously.

He didn‘t want to tolerate Guinevere‘s behavior any longer.

Guinevere decided to take a step back, “I was just concerned for her, that‘s all. Since she’s

agreed to this, then we‘ll continue.”

With that, she stood up and found another spot elsewhere to sit.

Her assistant immediately offered her a recliner.

She leaned back and picked up a glass of beverage, sipping on it. She saw Stella fall from the artificial
cliff time and time again, each fall harder than the previous.

Some crew members could no longer take it.

Especially the assistant, who whispered into Bradley‘s ear, “Shall we take a break and try again later?”

Bradley kept silent and looked into the camera.



“We‘ll see after she films this take.” If they were to stop right now, all of Stella‘s efforts would have been
in vain. Stella adjusted her posture and realized that charging from this distance made it difficult to carry
out the required moves.

If she could run from a further distance, it would give her more time to execute the actions she needed to
achieve.

She signaled to Bradley.

Bradley paused briefly and asked, “What‘s the matter?”

At that, she shared her thoughts with Bradley. “Sure, feel free to play around,” Bradley said. “Just be
careful not to hurt yourself.” “I will,” Stella nodded. Immersed in doing her task well, she wasn‘t even
paying attention to Guinevere. Guinevere saw how unaffected Stella was, and her good mood gradually
soured.

She thought that making things difficult for Stella would cause her to embarrass herself but didn‘t expect
that she would take it in her stride so well.
