Chapter 682
Meanwhile, on the set.
Everyone was tense and nervous for the last scene. The set had been emptied for a fight scene.
Stella had just changed into her costume. Then, Guinevere came walking toward her and called out, “Ella. Are you ready?”
Stella stopped in her tracks and looked at Guinevere.“ Almost.”
Guinevere fixed her gaze at Stella for a few moments.” Did you join the show business because of me?”
Stella paused a little before she answered, “What?” The question had stunned her.
Guinevere crossed her arms and looked like she was humiliating her. “You asked Weston to give you resources and a role. Didn’t you do that because you wanted to be like me, an actress?”
Stella laughed suddenly. “You think too highly of yourself.”
Guinevere’s face changed. “What do you mean?”
“Nothing.” Stella shook her head. “There are plenty of talented and powerful people in the show business, but
not many are as high and mighty as you.”
The old Stella would never speak to Guinevere like that. She used to keep a low profile, but after Roger had gone abroad, she had nothing to worry about and would not give in to Guinevere anymore.
Guinevere shot her a cold look. “Very well…”
Stella had thought Guinevere would take it personally, but the latter only gave her a few glances and sneered a few moments later. “Let’s see how long you’ll be able to stay complacent.”
After saying that, she turned around and left. It was as if she did not care about Stella.
Stella did not bother wasting time with her either. She went back to the dressing room.
Angelina hurried over. “Ella, did you have a conflict with Guinevere again?” She still did not believe Guinevere’s sincerity when she had apologized to Stella the other day. It felt like she had some hidden plans.
Stella shook her head. She noticed that Angelina’s hair was loose and fixed it for her. “She didn’t give me a hard time.”
