Chapter 1053
Keegan replied, "I didn't. I snapped at her."
Stella paused and burst out laughing.
Keegan was never going to let things go her way.
Stella did not know that there were other reasons why Keegan scolded her classmate other than that incident alone. When her
old classmate was still staying in their house, she spoke ill of Stella to Keegan plenty of times.
The old classmate said that Stella was too materialistic and money- oriented. She even accused Stella of bullying her other
classmates and being very arrogant at school. She also mentioned Sophia and called Stella unsympathetic for rejecting an
orphan into her family.
At first, Keegan kept quiet without giving any comment for Stella's sake. However, Keegan began to lose patience after she kept
saying the same thing.
He knew very well what kind of person his wife was, and he did not need other people to tell him otherwise.
After seeing how resistant Keegan was toward her old classmate, Stella could not help but laugh. "You're lucky that I'm being
coquettish with you. Just stop complaining.'
Keegan replied, "I prefer you begging for mercy, especially... when you're about to cry. I'm very attracted by that."
Stella kept quiet.
"How shameless of you!"
Keegan then added with a serious expression, "I was talking about your acting skills when you begged for mercy in front of the
antagonists. What were you thinking about?"
The edge of Stella's mouth twitched, and she sent him a picture of her middle finger.
Then, Leighton's manager came to her. "Ms. Jewell, is it not your turn yet?'
Stella put her phone away and replied politely, "Soon, I guess. There are only a few people left in the queue."
Leighton's manager smiled and said, "Leighton is done with his makeup, and he wanted Miller to help you with yours."
Stella wanted to reject the offer, but the manager added, 'Leighton has another event to attend tonight, and I'm worried that we
won't make it there on time if we finished shooting late today.'
'Oh, he just wants to save time for Leighton.'
Stella thought to herself and gave up the idea of refusing him. Then, she said, "Well, thank you so much."
So, Stella and another actor followed Leighton's manager and left.
Leighton was sitting very close to Bella, and they had to pass by her before reaching where Leighton was.
After what happened to Yolanda, Bella's reputation in the production team plummeted, and she had been tucking her tail
between her legs ever since. Her arrogance only started to return after World Peace topped the chart.
After all, in the entertainment industry, the value she could create was far more important than those minor scandals.
Having a premiere episode surpass the rating score of four was an achievement that most people could only dream of.
However, the viewership of The Palace was not bad either. So, it was inevitable for other people to compare Stella and Bella
since they were now working on the same drama, especially when Stella had previously dubbed Bella.
This time, Bella very confidently used her own voice for this new drama. Of course, her voice was significantly better than those
new idols. But Bella was going against Stella, who had years of experience in dubbing. The comparison was simply one-sided.
Some sarcastic netizens even created hashtags like # IsTheEmpressOfThePalaceUsingTheSameDubAsBella? and #
SometimesYouJustGottaPayForDubbing to mock Bella's voice-acting skills. So, Bella resented Stella for that.
That was why when Stella walked past her, she broke character and suddenly said sarcastically, "Having connections can really
bring you places. It's impressive how you could achieve such results in your first drama. Congratulations, Ms. Jewell.
