Keegan was stunned.This was the second time he was amazed by the character she portrayed.The last time was when she portrayed a psychopathic cannibal serial killer in Jurisdiction.Stella glowed when she was in front of the camera.Even though her face was familiar, she would make people feel that she embodied the character she played when she was in front of the camera.In the eyes of others, she was like a luminous pearl covered with dust. The radiance could not be hidden when the dust was removed.But in Keegan's eyes, she was never covered with dust. It was just that the glimmer of radiance was kept in his secret compartment back then. Only he could enjoy it.But a luminous pearl shined brighter in a darker place. It was meant to be admired by the world.He could not hide it at all.Stella came out after she was done cutting the fruits. Her eye twitched when she saw the scene in the dining area.Keegan, Vermont, and Felicity were sitting at the dining table.Keegan was
They even argued about which was the nicer pie, apple pies or pumpkin pies.Vermont was a southerner. He stubbornly said apple pies were better. Felicity was a northern girl. Naturally, she felt pumpkin pies were the best.At the end of their debate, Felicity bragged. "I'll make a whole pumpkin pie for you tomorrow. I'll show you which is the best."Vermont slightly smiled. He looked serious as he said, "Show me. But apple pies will remain on top!"Felicity's expression was ugly. She said, "You just wait!"She then immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the pumpkin pie. She wanted to give Vermont a brutal slap in the face with the Northern pumpkin pie.Stella saw Vermont looked smug. She felt that Felicity fell into his trap.The four of them finished eating all four of the dishes and the soup.Truthfully, Keegan ate quite little. Stelle did not eat much either because Keegan was there. Felicity ate as much as Stella. Only Vermont ate a lot.V
Stella's eye twitched."I'll hit you until you're permanently disabled now!"Keegan gave a laugh. But after a while, he whispered, "The house that I transferred to your name is bigger than this. I'll ask someone to clean the house. Move in and live there."Stella pushed him away. "Are you trying to be my sugar daddy? Just like how you were Bella's sugar daddy back then?"Keegan frowned. "Since when was I her sugar daddy?"Stella was boiling with rage. "I saw the manuscript from the media. Who doesn't know you supported Bella financially?"Keegan furrowed his eyebrows. He seemed like he remembered the gossip in the entertainment section of the newspaper.He frowned as he said, "I provided her resources. I was indeed her financial backer. But I wasn't her sugar daddy. I didn't touch her."Stella laughed mockingly. "Then how did she get pregnant with your baby? Asexual reproduction?"Keegan frowned. "What do you mean pregnant with my baby?"Stella opened her social media app. Sh
Stella tidied the house up a little before she ran to the entrance to open the door.Standing outside the door, Trevor was holding a few bags. His eyes looked warm when he saw her. "Have you eaten?"Stella said, "Just ate."She saw he was carrying a lot of stuff. She hesitated before asking, "Trevor, you..."Trevor was stunned. He said, "It was Labor Day two days ago. Our company prepared some gifts. I wanted to ask you to go there and take them. But I'm going drinking with my friends tonight, so I dropped by to send you these gifts.""So many?"She had just signed the contract with the company. She had not even helped the company earn any money. But she had already received many benefits from the company."Let me take it." Stella stretched out her hand, wanting to take the gifts.Trevor avoided her hand. "It's a little heavy. You can't carry them. Open the door wider. I'll help you take these inside."Her boss came to visit her. He even brought her the gifts personally. Stell
'Ms. Young?'Trevor looked at Stella's expression. He pursed his lips. "My staff signed with her. I didn't know about it initially."Felicity roasted him directly. "The staff in your company has bad taste just like this Stinky Cucumber. Bella's average-looking. Her acting skills are terrible. And her operational capability is bad too. What do you guys see in her?"Vermont was speechless."Miss bandit, Bella is a popular actress I made. Even now, she's the top performer among the artists her age in the entertainment circle. Do you know what top performer means? She can make money for me just by standing there. Moreover, Bella did not get famous just because I spent capital on her. She's the public's choice too."If the audience didn't like girls her type, Bella wouldn't get famous even if I spent a lot of money on her. We make money out of her. As long as she doesn't do anything illegal, why should we give up a money-printing machine?"Felicity clenched her teeth. "The taste of in
Stella pursed her lips as her throat unconsciously tightened. Vermont and Felicity still had their usual expressions. Both of them acted as if they did not hear the noise coming from the washroom."Is there someone in the toilet?" Trevor asked."Uh... it's the plumber," Stella lied while maintaining a bold front. "The tap in the washroom is broken."'The tap in this brand-new house is broken?' Trevor thought.Trevor's gaze shifted between each person. After a long while, he then said, "Then I'll take my leave first."As he spoke, he pulled out his phone to dial a number. Subsequently, the ringtone from a cell phone came from the dining table. Trevor looked at the phone placed on the table. Stella was speechless.Keegan, who was in the toilet, seemed to have heard the ringtone. He pushed open the door with his shirt half-buttoned. His whole body was soaking wet, and so was his hair. His hair was combed to the back of his head, which showcased his sharp features. Although he was ob
"Then, let's go." Stella took Keegan's coat and opened the door.Keegan realized this was a rare sight and said softly, "I'll hold it myself."Stella then passed the coat to him. Just as Keegan stepped out the door, a loud bang sounded. Stella had swung the door shut and shut Keegan out of the house. Keegan was at a loss for words.'Walk... Walk, my ass! Keegan's cell phone never leaves his side so he definitely put it in the living room on purpose! He was trying to be smart with me. Did he think that I was stupid?' Stella thought.On June 20th, Stella would complete shooting for her scene in The Palace. Daniel led the whole production crew to help hold a small banquet for Stella to wrap up her shoot. Her first project finished filming just like that.On the day she left the production crew, she was actually quite reluctant. Daniel conducted himself properly, and the cohesiveness between the production crew was strong. The crew had few messy issues, and the actors were very profes
Vermont said with a straight face, "Of course, Corbin told me. You never let me see it, so how would I know what you made otherwise?"From what Felicity heard, she knew it was Corbin who said it. She humbly asked him immediately, "What else did Dr. Steven say?"Vermont continued with a straight face. "The other stuff was fine. He doesn't like to eat sweet stuff, and he isn't that good with food that's too spicy."Felicity heard this, and her face immediately fell. "Why didn't you say this earlier? I made jerk chicken today, so it might be slightly spicy."'Jerk chicken?' Vermont thought. His eyes brightened slightly, and he cleared his throat. "If it's slightly spicy, it should be fine. A little spice can stimulate your appetite."Felicity sighed in relief and asked another question. "You've delivered food for a few days. Did Dr. Steven comment on anything? Is it delicious or disgusting? You can tell me, and I'll improve them next time."Vermont saw her earnest expression and fel
