Stella was already standing in front of Leighton before she realized it.Leighton found out there was not much space left after dragging Stella over, so he turned around and said to Bella, "Move to the side."Bella was speechless.Everyone else had all kinds of different looks on their faces, and the one on Bella looked awful.Leighton hated fauxmance. When they worked together previously, Bella tried to look intimate with him twice. As a result, he unfollowed her on social media.It attracted a lot of people's attention and went viral. Leighton's fans said that Bella threw herself to him. Bella's team contacted Leighton and asked him to clarify that, but Leighton's team blocked them instead.'He didn't want to be in fauxmance with me, yet he has no problem doing that with Stella? Besides, why should I stand aside for her? I'm more experienced than her in this industry. Who does she think she is?'Leighton frowned after seeing Bella just stand there without moving. "Why are you
Bella scrunched her face without saying anything.Everybody in the entertainment industry was very mean. Before she became famous, other people would squeeze her to the side whenever they took a photo, and she even had to apologize for blocking somebody else behind her.If the main character of the photo were not satisfied with how it turned out, she would be cropped out of the photo.That was why she cared a lot about where she stood whenever she took a photo.It was a group photo of the production crew. She was the female lead, yet she was not the one who stood in the middle. Instead, it was her worst enemy, Stella Jewell.Stella got a divorce but was not dispirited about losing her status as Mrs. Kane. Instead, she got very lucky and easily became a part of Elegant Media and got a role as the supporting female lead of a huge production. Even Leighton, who was so famous, would always ignore her. He would not participate in any publicity stunt and be obsessed with Stella.That m
It turned out that the account was set to only show posts from the most recent six months, and only one post was updated exactly six months ago.Its only post was shared by a verified account that published technology news that Stella could not understand.There were hundreds of comments under that post. Stella started reading them.[Is Mr. Bachelor not going to update anything about his personal life today?][Obviously, they got into a fight again. He'd only share the news whenever that happens.][To be honest, I like seeing them fight. Precisely, I like to see Mr. Bachelor begging for our support using his money. He's so fucking hot.][You don't like him because he's hot. You only want money!][Who's with me? I started following Mr. Bachelor after he published the article "The Endless Assumptions Regarding Future Technology Advancement," but now I have become a fan of him and his wife.][I'm with you. His paper review and scientific article attracted more than half of the use
Stella paused. Then, she realized why Keegan asked if she was okay.She figured Keegan probably read those negative comments about her online, so he called to ensure she was okay because he did not want her to overthink.Stella asked, "Did you see what's happening on Facebook?""Yeah," Keegan said, "Just ignore those people."Stella replied, "I don't care about them at all. I can't control what they want to say anyway."Stella's teacher told her and her classmates they should not set foot in the entertainment industry if they could not handle hate. Instead, she should focus on people who watched her shows and gave genuine feedback on her performance instead of getting bothered by those ignorant fans' criticism.Keegan did not feel as worried anymore. "I hired someone to take care of the comments. So just stay off Facebook for these few days."Stella immediately sat up. "Why would you spend money on this? You should've given the money to me instead. Just let them say whatever the
'The person he truly loves... Hmph... this scumbag finally knows how to hit my soft spot after our divorce.'Stella was flabbergasted with joy before something suddenly popped into her head."Is Bella really not your first love?"Keegan was speechless."Why would you ask such a question?"Keegan thought about it. He figured he probably met with Bella too often when Coco needed her blood. However, Bella crossed the line by hiring reporters to photograph them together.That made Keegan very angry. He even made a nosy media company go bankrupt to send a message.However, Bella became increasingly famous, and it became harder for him to suppress the media than before. But the media still dared not publish anything about him, so he was not expecting Stella to think he had a romantic relationship with Bella.Worse still, Stella even thought that Bella was his first love.Stella pouted. "I heard people talking about it when we took the wedding photos a few days before the ceremony.
Keegan added to make Stella feel less embarrassed. "You were still young and innocent back then."Stella was speechless."Why didn't you sleep in the same bed as me when we first married?"Keegan kept quiet."Would you not ask such personal questions?"Stella said, "There's no outsider here anyway. Can't you just tell me?""Well, I can," Keegan said gently, "However, we're neither dating nor married now. I'm afraid you'd find me inappropriate and deduct my points if we talked about this topic."'And now he wants to be appropriate? He acted completely different when I said I would wear the fishnet for him.'Stella said, "I'm going to give you some extra points if you tell me.""How many?""Two hundred."Keegan said, "Make it five hundred. It involves my privacy, after all."He thought the same old trick would work on Stella again, but Stella said, "Forget it then."Keegan was confused."Do you... not want to know the truth?""Nope," Stella said, "I thought about it, and y
Keegan was a little disappointed. He said lowly, "I'll just take a single glance from afar."Stella relented a little after hearing his pitiful pleas."Then come with Mr. Snyder. If you come alone and get photographed, people will make up stories again."Keegan suddenly felt happy."Alright. Go and read your script, then. Don't stay up too late.""Mhm."Stella reluctantly hung up the phone and rubbed her hands on her face.'Our conversation got me all worked up. How could I focus the script right now?' she thought.Leighton only saw the trending topic when he returned from the hospital. Then, he immediately blew up. When Estelle was not looking, he logged on to Facebook and made a post.[Who else to piggyback on, if not someone with good acting skills? Someone who pulls publicity stunts? When are we rehearsing the lines? @StellaJewell]Initially, Keegan had already cleared up most of the trending topics. However, the topics immediately trended again after Leighton's post.He
Trevor asked while walking into the house, "Where's he?""Upstairs," said Estelle.Then, Trevor went upstairs without another word.'Why's Trevor suddenly visiting? Hasn't he gone to Salcator?' wondered Estelle. However, he could not ponder for long and hurriedly followed Trevor.Leighton was sweating buckets in the gym room upstairs. The stereo in the room was really loud. After Trevor opened the door, the heavy metal music rushing to him almost pushed him back out.'What kind of shit music does he listen to?' Trevor thought. He walked up to the stereo and unplugged it. Leighton frowned the moment the music stopped. When he turned around and saw Trevor, his face fell even more."What are you doing here?"Trevor said, "Your dad called you, and you didn't answer. So I'm here in his stead to check on you."Leighton snorted."He didn't feel bad when he put his hands on me. So why is he acting like a loving father when others do so?""You're overthinking," Trevor glanced at him.
