"I've tried to convince her to stay too. Her condition to renew the contract was to get an 'S' contract. I can increase her cut. But she still needs to be better to get an 'S' contract. It's fine if we can't come to an agreement. In the show she was on, as long as the actor or actress looks decent, he or she could be famous too. I can just make another star. It's just a matter of time."Vermont and Keegan hated to be controlled.Bella was indeed famous. But she had poor self-awareness. She became increasingly arrogant as she grew famous in recent years. She was not classically trained, and she was also not really talented. After she became popular, Vermont thought of making her a superstar too.He even paid good money to hire a good teacher in the country to train her in acting. But Bella's heart was not in improving her acting skills.She personally took up some endorsement deals with some minor brands to make money. She mentioned that she could not attend the lessons because she
"Anyway, if you want to sign with an agency, you must prioritize me. If you receive all the awards like the lady back then, you will not only be our leading lady, but you can even kick me out of the company and become the boss yourself."Stella smiled. She teased him, "I should be more reserved then. You guys will only be willing to make me a good offer if I play hard to get."Her reply was ambiguous, but Vermont was in no hurry either. 'There's still plenty of time. There aren't many companies that can compete with Neon Nebula in the country. I'm also close to Keegan. I believe I can make Stella join my company.'While they were talking, his phone rang.Carter and the others were already waiting for them in the restaurant. He urged his companions to get there quickly.Their conversation ended abruptly.Carter booked a room in The Deli. The Deli was considered the best restaurant in Rivera. Their food and environment were excellent.Food lovers from all around the world came all
However, Lena was not angry. She merely gave her a glance and said, "Underneath the skin, we're all the same. There's no difference between a dead person and a living person."Molly furrowed her brows as she glanced at her. Molly was the most arrogant and overbearing among the younger generation of the Moore family. She always spoke tactlessly and never considered the feelings of the listener.Vermont was worried she would not shut her mouth and ruin everyone's spirits, so he quickly changed the subject, "Aren't you from forensics? Do forensics also need to touch corpses?"Lena said, "If there is a need, I will need to touch them, but there is usually the coroner to do it. We also need to go over there to dissect bodies when it's busy.""Dissect?" The corner of Vermont's lips twitched. "Then would you still be able to eat your meals?""Why wouldn't I be able to eat? It's just work," she replied.Vermont turned to Carter. "Lena's hands touched a corpse, and she used it to grab foo
After having a cold, an average person would recover in a few days. On the other hand, Carter might have symptoms so severe he has to stay in the hospital, so they cannot blame Lena for being so nervous.Thankfully, Carter merely coughed a few times and stopped. Lena then said, "Where's your medication?""In the car," he answered."I'll go down and get it. You can entertain everyone first," Lena told him.Carter nodded his head in reply. When Lena had left, Trevor opened his mouth and said, "Lena cares for you a lot. Why did you scare her by faking your cough?"Carter gave two low chuckles with a gentle expression before saying, "Once she starts to care for me, she wouldn't remember about the thing I made her angry about."Vermont clicked his tongue and said, "Schemeful."Then he winked at Keegan. "You see that? Learn from it."Keegan was too lazy to be bothered by him. Instead, he asked Carter, "Do you still have the red wine I gifted you last time?"Carter was slightly stunn
Molly's expression was slightly stiff. The way Carter undermined her did not leave her with much dignity. Vermont was somewhat surprised and gave Carter a glance.From his perception, Carter was a very gentlemanly person. Knowing him for so many years, Vermont rarely saw him fight with someone. Carter's relationship with Molly was alright too. Could his words now be because of Molly's attitude when talking to Lena earlier?The mood was suddenly awkward. Trevor gave a light chuckle and said, "Actually, I've been overseas so many years and never been to a winery in France. If there's a chance, I'll go and take a look."Then Molly's expression turned for the better. She kept looking for topics to discuss with Trevor.Stella was slightly bored, but then a deshelled prawn suddenly appeared on her plate. Stella froze for a moment and gave an odd look to Keegan.'Is this bastard trying to poison and murder me?' she thought.Keegan could tell what she was thinking, and he gave her a side
Vermont's lips twitched. "There's an order to this, okay? Line up properly."Trevor took out a business card and handed it to Stella. "I hope I can have the chance to cut in line."Stella could not determine whether he was joking or serious.She took the business card and glanced at it. It read Elegant Media.Vermont could not stand it and said, "Mrs. Kane, don't believe in his sweet-talking. In terms of cunning businessmen, if Keegan is second, Trevor would definitely be first. He's ruthless and very mean!"The corner of Keegan's eye twitched. "You shut up!"Stella then pushed the business card back. "I appreciate your generous invitation, Mr. Saun. However, I currently don't have any intention to sign.""No problem. You can keep the business card. Anytime you come around to it, I welcome your call anytime. Of course, not only business but personal affairs are also fine. The Saun family owes you huge gratitude."Since he had said so, Stella could only accept the business card.
The effect of the broadcast was beyond expectations. Besides the story's merit, this was mainly due to Stella's interpretation of the character. The producer clearly knew this and naturally wanted to shoot a sequel to it. The rate still had space for negotiation.Stella thought about it and said, "I can help you shoot a few more, and I still wouldn't need any paycheck. However, I need you to help me do something."Lena was surprised, "Me?"Stella nodded and leaned in to whisper two sentences into her ears. Then, she asked, "Is that okay?"Lena looked at her thoughtfully. After a long while, she said, "Sure."A breeze flowed through. A waft of soft fragrance rushed to their noses.Lena furrowed her brows. "This floral fragrance is odd.""It's devil's snare." Stella gave the few stalks of flowers on the balcony a look. She said quietly, "It's not good if you inhale too much."'This store is too much. They even put this type of flower on the balcony. They seem to not be afraid tha
Trevor took it and flipped through a few pages. Stella's background was simple from her birth to her education and her marriage to Keegan afterward. The content was clear and detailed. Every detail was recorded, such as the hospital she was born in, the schools she attended, the clinics she visited when she was younger, and even the car accident six years ago.There were pictures of her from her youth until the present.Trevor pressed his fingers against his lower lip and frowned.His personal assistant asked out of curiosity, "Mr. Trevor, why do you suddenly want to investigate Mrs. Kane?"Still flipping through the pages, Trevor said indifferently, "I considering signing her. That's why I'm looking into her background."'Does signing an actor require a full history background check from her youth to the present? The recently signed actor didn't go through such a thorough check. Is it more discreet because it's Mrs. Kane?'Trevor, having skimmed through the thin file a few times
