"Call the police and have him interrogated," said Carter.Keegan was silent momentarily before he asked, "Can overseas account transfers be tracked?"Carter paused. "Once you send the money to the other party's account, it will be difficult to trace it. But... Now that you know who the blackmailer is, you can monitor his local bank account since he's going to use the money unless he plans on using it abroad."Albert was not someone who would give up everything he had here and move out of the country. He was not going to let go of the company he had worked hard for his entire life. Otherwise, he would not have blackmailed Keegan.Keegan called Aldor and asked him to transfer 50 million dollars into the other party's overseas account in five installments. Carter took a sip from his cup and said, "Why don't you just call the police?""I'm not letting him get away with attempted extortion," he said flatly. Carter was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Keegan and said nothing.Keegan
Albert felt excited but also regretful.'If I had known that Keegan cared about Stella this much, I wouldn't have openly cut ties with her. Hylda says that Sophia will marry into a wealthy family and form connections for the company, but is it that easy to marry into one? Not only was Stella raised by Rainee to be multi-talented, but she's also miles ahead of Sophia in terms of looks. What does Sophia have to marry into a wealthy family? I better hold on to Stella, my pawn,' he thought.On the first day of the shoot, Stella arrived at the set really early.Only the more reputable actors on set had their own dressing rooms and makeup artists. Other actors shared a dressing room. Normally, whoever came first got styled first.While these were the rules, not everyone followed them.Right after Stella finished changing, someone opened the door. Yolanda waltzed in with her assistant and sat down in front of the vanity mirror. Then, Yolanda's assistant, who was next to her, immediately
The makeup artist turned red in anger. However, she could only swallow her discontentment and do Yolanda's makeup.Yolanda felt vexed because of Stella, so she kept picking on the makeup artist.After the makeup artist did her makeup, Yolanda insisted that both sides of her eye makeup were uneven. Then, she got the makeup artist to remove and redo her makeup.Once the makeup artist redid Yolanda's makeup, she said her contour was not done properly and made her face look bigger.The makeup artist removed and redid Yolanda's makeup back and forth five or six times. Yolanda only slowly stood up when someone from the directorial team came over to urge her to leave. Then, she gave Stella a side-eye, put on her coat, and waltzed away.Meanwhile, the makeup artist did not look happy after getting picked on. Stella knew she had gotten the makeup artist involved in this, so she felt a little guilty.However, the makeup artist did not say anything harsh and did Stella's makeup dutifully.
There was actually not much the makeup artist could do on her face.Initially, the scene was about 18 or 19-year-old dance students performing at the New Year's Gala. Based on the director's request, the actors had to reflect a student's plain and elegant side. So, they all had very light makeup.The makeup artist only gave Stella some base makeup, eye makeup, and eyebrows. However, the effects were already surprisingly good. She did not even need to contour Stella's face.Even Stuart, a director who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry, was impressed. Then, he was once again thankful for his wise decision.'Stella is an amazing fit for the role of Georgia, who's elegant, cold, beautiful, and arrogant. Of all the actors, I'm most satisfied with this casting,' he thought.However, there were bound to be unhappy people when there were happy ones. For instance, Bella and Yolanda.Yolanda was unhappy purely because of what happened just now, but Bell
Naturally, Stella was fine with it, and Bella had no objections. As for Yolanda, she had been having issues with Stella a long time ago and was waiting for a moment to release her pent-up resentment.'Isn't this my chance? I've been in the entertainment industry for a long time. I'm well aware of how to bully other actors while acting,' she thought.Stella glanced at Yolanda's twinkling eyes. Then, she lowered her gaze. While she walked past the prop team, she quietly took something from the prop tray.Leighton saw her action and froze. However, he did not say a thing.After everyone got to their places, the director shouted, "Action!"Then, they kicked off the first scene.In the washroom, two girls in dance outfits talked quietly."Hey, do you know why Ms. Hull got switched out of the lead dancer position?"The other girl shook her head and replied, "No, I don't. Why?""I heard that someone made a report to the school, listing Georgia's family tree. They suspect that somethi
Stuart quickly came over to check on Stella's injury and asked about her well-being.Stella sat up and smiled through her pale complexion. Then, she said with forced lightheartedness, "It's fine, Mr. Winfield. Yolanda didn't do it intentionally. She was just too caught up in the moment. It's my fault for dodging it too slow. I should've stood more steadily just now. Before this, we succeeded with one take. But now, I've troubled everyone because we need to retake the scene."Yolanda's face contorted after hearing Stella's words."You clearly fell down yourself. What's that got to do with me? Do I have iron fists? I can make you spit blood with just a slap?"When Stuart heard Yolanda's words, his expression turned sour, "Supposedly, the slap scene needs two actors to cooperate. How many years have you been an actor? Can't you even control your strength? And your expression just now. You're helping your friend retaliate, but look at your expression! If one didn't know the story, they
Shea began to face her boss. Although she had little experience, she was quick on her feet and liked to take action. She even had backup plans. It would be hard for others to take advantage of her. It seemed that there was nothing to be worried about when it came to Keegan's orders. On the contrary, they should be glad she was not bullying others on set.Stuart was so mad at Yolanda for leaving the scene midway that he skipped her act and began filming Stella and Leighton's scene.In the script, Georgia and Ralph were childhood sweethearts. Georgia always acted superior to others, but she was like a little girl when she was with Ralph. Though, Ralph and Lexi were also in an ambiguous relationship. It was mentioned that after Lexi passed out on stage, a man in a suit watched her indifferently from a distance.The script did not mention who the guy in the suit was, but Stella had an understanding that it was Ralph. Hence, the few emotional scenes between them were useful in promoting
"What are you doing?!" Georgia struggled while hitting the person who carried her. "Put me down!" she yelled.Ralph threw her on the bed and pressed himself against her. Just as he was about to kiss her, Georgia pushed him away. She pulled out the yellow hairpin and said, "Tell me. Where did you get this hairpin?!"Ralph chuckled, took the hair accessory, and put it in her hair. "The shop owner didn't have any change when I was buying cigarettes, so he gave me this hairpin instead." As he said that, he grabbed Georgia's chin, looked and her, and smiled. "It looks good on you."Georgia took the hairpin off and held it in her hands. She looked at it for a while and threw it aside while she pursed her lips. "It's ugly," she said.She then hooked her arms around Ralph's neck and said softly, "My visa is almost done. Wait for me when you get there. I'll fly over to you after six months.""Six months?" Ralph looked at her and said, "Isn't that a little too long?""It's one semester. I
