Chapter 671 Saw Chester Just
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, danger was imminent.
When the dark horse ran toward her, Eliza had already noticed something strange.
Unlike the horror of the others, Eliza was indescribably calm at this moment.
Her eyes were fixed on the horse, and her breathing slowed down.
Then, when the hooves were about to fall, she bent back to avoid the fatal step.
Not only that, but she also grabbed the reins that had been loosened. Then she turned over and jumped onto the back of the horse, her body fluttering like a swallow.
Everyone widened their eyes in surprise and looked at this scene in disbelief.
Eliza had no time to care about other people's gazes. First, she held up the extra who was about to fall off the horse. She picked up his collar with one hand and threw him to a foam mat on the side. Then, she pulled the reins tightly and clamped the horse's back with her legs. She used all her strength to control the horse.
Eliza's face was cold as she rode the black horse past the ancient street. In a short while, she was nowhere to be seen.
Graciana was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. Looking at Eliza's back, she was filled with both worry and admiration.
Eliza was too bold. If she fell off the horse, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Mr. Valentine, quick!"
Graciana quickly asked Matthew for help.
Matthew brought several bodyguards with him this time. After the initial shock, he quickly reacted.
"What are you waiting for? Go and help!"
"If anything happens to my aunt, my uncle will never let you go!"
After being reminded by Matthew, the bodyguards beside Roseane regained their senses and chased after Eliza.
However, before they could do anything, Eliza had already coaxed the mad black horse. She took it for a couple of laps and leisurely rode back.
Everyone at the scene was speechless.
"That's ridiculous!"
"Hiss!"
As soon as Eliza pulled the reins, the dark horse stopped obediently.
She touched the horse's head and jumped down from the horse with a smile, looking calm and elegant.
Seeing this, Graciana rushed forward, followed by Mr. Jones and the other staff.
Graciana asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
"Why are you so reckless?! Eliza, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Eliza let her good friend turn her around with a good temper and replied with a smile, "I'm fine, I'm not injured at all."
Graciana breathed a sigh of relief and could not help complaining, "You scared me to death. It's not like there is no one else on the crew. You just needed to avoid it. Why did you ride on the horse?"
What if she didn't calm the horse and fell off the horse's back...
As soon as Graciana thought of this possibility, she felt that she was about to have a heart attack.
Eliza shook her head and didn't argue with her friend.
On the contrary, it was Roseane who spoke. "All right, it's good that she's fine. Eliza has already helped the production crew a great deal."
Then she looked at the director.
As expected, Hudson solemnly expressed his gratitude to Eliza. "Eliza, this time, the crew made a mistake. They didn't do a good job and almost made you get hurt. Thanks to your good skills, you saved our staff."
As he spoke, everyone moved aside. The extra that Eliza had helped was held to stand in front of Eliza.
Because of what had happened just now, the extra's legs were still weak.
He boasted that he was an experienced actor and that he had shot this kind of horse-riding scene many times before. However, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He was so panicked that he couldn't react at once.
If Eliza hadn't helped him, he might have really broken his leg.
In the future, he might never be able to film again. The two children in the family had to go to school. If something really happened...
The extra's eyes were red. He thanked Eliza gratefully and said, "Miss Lawson, thank you very much for this time. If it weren't for you, I would really..."
Speaking of this, he choked with sobs.
Eliza's heart ached a little when she saw the extra's grateful expression.
If she hadn't met Beau, she might have been like him for the rest of her life. She would have been in the role of a stuntwoman and an extra who had to perform dangerous scenes. She would never know when she would be in danger.
"It's okay. Don't take it to heart."
"If you really want to thank me, just treat me to something delicious next time."
The extra nodded repeatedly. "I'll definitely do that!"
Eliza waved her hand with a smile and looked at Hudson.
"Director, I didn't finish filming at once just now, but it was hard work. Don't blame me this time, okay?"
"Also, didn't we get an investment? Since the production team doesn't lack money, why are my clothes so cheap? Is this the right outfit for the heroine?"
As she spoke, she raised her sleeve, which had been torn apart by the big movements, and showed it to Hudson.
Hudson didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In fact, the quality of this dress was very good, but no matter how good it was, it could not stay in one piece after the accident!
Hudson said helplessly, "All right, it's all my fault. I'll get someone to redo it for you now!"
"That's more like it."
After Eliza's hard work, the atmosphere was no longer as oppressive as before. Everyone started to joke. More and more people surrounded Eliza and praised her for her good skills and quick reaction.
Although the scene taken just now could not be used in the main film, it could also be regarded as a very interesting behind-the-scenes clip. When the time came, it could be put at the end of the film, or it could be used as a trailer, which would attract a lot of attention.
The staff, who originally had a slight opinion of Eliza, was now completely convinced. It could also be considered another form of authority for Eliza.
Hudson called the assistant director to investigate the aftermath of the matter, and also put forward the scenes of Roseane and Sachin, which gave Eliza some time to adjust.
After Eliza dealt with the enthusiastic crowd, she was brought back to the recreational vehicle by Graciana and quickly changed into her clothes.
As soon as she came out, she looked at Graciana and Julian's extremely serious faces.
"What's wrong? It looks like the sky is about to collapse."
"I'm wondering if I should tell Beau about what happened just now." Graciana said, "He can also help me find out what happened."
Eliza's smile disappeared. "Don't tell him. I don't want him to worry."
Julian nodded. "It's indeed hard to tell him."
Graciana glared at Julian. "Don't make trouble!"
Julian said, "Do you really think that it was just an accident?"
Eliza frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I saw Chester on the set just now."
"What did you say?"
The person who shouted out was Graciana. She was even more excited than Eliza.
"Why was that guy also there? Could it be that the accident was arranged by him just for revenge? That's too mean!"
However, Eliza frowned. "Graciana, don't come to a conclusion so easily before things get clear."
Graciana curled her lips. "But he really has bad intentions."
Eliza ignored Graciana and looked at Julian. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Julian curled his lips.
"If it's not him, then it must be Beau. Who do you think will stand idly by when you're in danger?"
