A bottle of red wine had even been prepared, and its purpose needed no explanation."Hmm... I don't think your reaction is natural for someone afraid of a late-night power outage. You've even prepared a marvelous candlelight dinner. It seems to me you're quite at ease in this dim atmosphere," Beatrice remarked. She could tell that Stella had spent a considerable amount of time and effort preparing food for just two people."You've even spent all that effort in preparing dinner after the power went out," Beatrice continued sarcastically.Stella was beginning to feel a little guilty, but she defended herself and said, "I'll come back home to make a home-cooked meal if I'm not too busy on that day. I like trying out new recipes, and I think I've got a pretty good knack for cooking."She figured that she could leverage the situation to impress the old woman with her ability to cook.Beatrice then pressed further. "Who did you prepare all this for?"Stella's expression turned a little

Stella then continued to explain in a pitiful tone, "The power outage came so suddenly, and the entire building was plunged into darkness. I was just instinctively afraid."She doubled down simply because she knew how influential Beatrice was. The old lady was capable of carrying out that threat. As a result, playing the long game was better, for the day would come when she became Lucas' wife and thus exact revenge on Beatrice."Do you think I'm that easily fooled? I've already checked the situation before I came here." The old lady walked slowly to the main door and reached out to pull the power box switch. The power then returned in an instant, and the entire house was bright again. "What else do you have to say now?" Beatrice asked coldly.Stella stammered in stupefaction. "This... This can't be. The switch must've tripped...""You're a decent woman, Miss Stella," Beatrice replied with a smile. "I know that your father once helped Lucas, so I hope this situation between us won't

Stella's home, meanwhile, was in utter chaos. The candlelight dinner she meticulously prepared for Lucas had turned into a farce. All that effort went to naught because of the old woman's meddlesome behavior. Had Beatrice not interfered with Lucas's affairs, Stella was convinced that he would have visited her after seeing her message."I'm sure Lucas still has feelings for me. I'm sure of it... Just wait for me, Lucas. I'll overcome any obstacles in my way, even if it involves having to deal with your relatives. I won't let you go that easily!" she gritted her teeth and declared.The red wine trickling down the wall added to the intensity of the atmosphere, making her look like someone who had been driven to insanity.When Stella arrived on set the next day, her face was noticeably swollen. She had drowned out her anger with a full bottle of red wine the previous night.She took off her sunglasses to reveal her bloodshot eyes. Her manager was startled to see her condition. "What ha

Stella agreed with a smile on the surface, though she did wish that she could give him a piece of her mind. 'You must be delusional if you think you're a great director. What's your motive for saying all that? Are you trying to tell the whole cast that you're sidelining me?'"Shall I escort you to the lounge so you can get some rest? Last night was taxing on you," the assistant suggested.Stella glanced at him and suppressed her anger. It was not until they reached the lounge that she lashed out at him."Are you dumb? You know that I'm not at my best today, so why didn't you order takeout for everyone? Must I spell everything out for you? You're a useless, pea-brained idiot!" Stella tore into the assistant and pushed him away.The manager hesitated to intervene, knowing that it would be a waste of his breath to reason with someone like Stella.After venting her anger, she was told that the investigation she had instructed earlier had yielded results."Hmph. And I thought Melody h

"Just do as I say, and don't ask so many questions."Young talents like Wendy generally had a lot of free time around the clock. Wendy found it a bit odd, and she had to do a double take at her phone with the suspicion that her boss might be dreaming and talking in his sleep.There seemed to be no logical reason for why a renowned actress would want to meet her, and she wondered if that was her turning point to become popular and perhaps even match Melody's success.She believed that if Melody could do it, then so could she.Wendy read on social media that a lot of people were retweeting Melody's movie highlights. Every single comment praised Melody and bemoaned the supposed lack of good-looking and capable actors. It was utterly ridiculous in Wendy's opinion. She felt that the social media users lacked good taste and found it appalling that someone like Melody was exalted in such a manner.After refreshing further, Wendy found that Melody's official account gained 800000 follower

Wendy never imagined that she would hear such praise from Stella."I'm getting a little embarrassed now. You're being too kind..."Stella shook her head. "Don't feel that way. There's a difference between those with real energy and those without. Nowadays, many actors use that vigor to market themselves, but the fake will stay fake, and nothing is going to make that real."For Wendy, that remark brought to mind the praise that social media users had for Melody.She nodded empathetically. "Nowadays, even the worthless actresses can be praised to high heavens as long as they have a strong backing.""Hahaha, that's right! It's a big loss for the industry that a good talent like you hasn't yet been able to make it."Stella then lowered her head and sighed as if she lamented some sort of downward trend in the industry.Wendy also felt a little sorry for herself. "I'm super happy that you recognized my talent. I might just need a stroke of luck and a turning point. I'm sure I'll be ab

Wendy scoffed when she thought about the schemes that lay beneath Melody's show of confidence. Securing a mysterious financial backer was beyond despicable.Stella cleared her throat and said, "Melody's rise to stardom seems inevitable with that backing. She might even eclipse seasoned actresses like us one day."Wendy did not hide her complex mix of envy and indignation.Stella continued to press further. "Do you have Melody's contact information? Didn't she think of sharing her newfound fortune with you during her rise to prominence? A few crumbs from her powerful backer won't hurt the wallet.""I wouldn't touch such filth!" Wendy spat before immediately composing herself. "I'm sorry, Miss Stella. That wasn't meant for you. My past with Melody makes me stir up some uncomfortable emotions. I hope I didn't frighten you."Stella masked her agenda with an understanding expression. "No offense taken. You shouldn't sever your familial ties that easily, though. If you have her contact

Wendy gritted her teeth and slammed her hands on the table. "I don't need her help! I'd rather beg for food than have her pity me!"A smile of success flashed across Stella's lips, and she did not waste much time there. Having achieved her goal, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave. "Okay then, Wendy. Either way, I'm glad to meet you today. I'd be happy to collaborate with you if the opportunity ever arises."Wendy lost control at that moment and began cursing, "B*tches! You're all bitches!"Wendy never imagined that Melody would get such a powerful backer even after swearing not to get involved with those old men. The thought of Melody going viral on the Internet made Wendy feel agonizingly jealous and aggrieved.Wendy stood up abruptly with a vicious look in her eyes. If Melody wanted to be popular, then Wendy would be more than happy to show everyone Melody's ugly side!She remembered someone who would be very helpful at that moment and took out her mobile phone to searc

"Yes, I'm Melody," said Melody while cradling the book she had just found. It was the first time that a fan recognized her, and she blushed as a result."Ah! I really liked that scene you shot! Your acting was superb, and you're so beautiful too! I didn't expect you to be even more beautiful without makeup on! Are you okay if we take a selfie?"The compliment made Melody feel a little shy. "Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I'm fine with a selfie, but I hope you don't mind that I'm not wearing makeup now."Melody was worried that her audience might prefer to see a side of her that was similar to the character she played in a movie, but her fan shook her head and said, "Why would I? You're already beautiful enough as you are!""You're super pretty, too! I'm happy to meet you." Melody smiled as her fan took the selfie.The fan was overjoyed. "Good luck in your acting career, Melody! You'll become a super popular woman for sure! I'll be your fan for as long as I live!"Melody nodd

Eventually, her boyfriend felt so embarrassed by the entire situation that he had to drag his girlfriend away.Melody was still amazed at the thought that someone would admire her so deeply. She could not help but wonder if her fans liked the heroine she portrayed in the movie or if they genuinely liked her as a person.The couple continued to talk about Melody. "She smells so good! It must be her natural scent! Gahh! Melody is so amazing! I love her so much!"Her boyfriend had long grown accustomed to his girlfriend's fangirling tendencies and earnestly shared his first impression of Melody. "Yeah, she is beautiful.""Right?!" his girlfriend fawned.Melody's grace and character could be likened to a pearl that should be cherished, or a flower that stood taller than the other blooms around it. Everyone liked hearing compliments, and Melody was no different.After leaving the bookstore, Melody seemed to have gained a bit more confidence, and she was not as scared when she walked t
