Chapter 471
The crew had no choice but to try to persuade Felicity to assist her, but Bella started to act unreasonably the moment she was
there.
She deliberately stepped into a mud puddle and ordered Felicity to clean her shoes. When Felicity finished cleaning it up, she
stepped into the muddy puddle again. After repeating the same thing three times, she looked at her clean shoes and said lightly,
"The more you clean them, the more disgusting they look. Just grab me a new pair."
And the shoes were thrown away.
Felicity was not one to crumble under pressure. She immediately grabbed the rag she used to wipe the mud and threw it at
Bella's face. Everything descended into chaos. Felicity's boss scolded her and sent her home.
Stella turned cold after hearing the story. "Your boss lacks judgment," she said.
Felicity came out of the bathroom, gritted her teeth, and said, "You know Bella's contract is almost up, right? That jerk, Simon
Hill, wants to sign her on. That means we'd have to bow to her stinky-ass feet!"
As she said that, she sniffed her hands and could still smell the odor of Bella's dirty feet, so she went to the bathroom to wash
her hands again.
"That bitch doesn't even know how to act! I'm telling you, she would be a nobody if it weren't for her investors," Felicity said
unhappily. "I bet she targeted me because she knows we're close!"
Stella's face was sullen. "She won't be smug for long," she said after a moment.
"Let's rent another house, Stella. This is a one-bedroom apartment with a tiny common area. Sleeping on the couch is bad for
your back. I looked up new places around here today and found a two-bedroom apartment. If it's okay with you, we can find a
time to view the place and move there."
"I've thought about it too, but this neighborhood is too far away from work, and the parking spaces are limited. The rent isn’t
cheap as well. We might as well just buy a new apartment."
Stella applied for her credit card to unfreeze when she got her divorce certificate. The money she earned from voice acting over
the years and the salary she got from The Palace totaled up to about six to seven million dollars. She paid Felicity back one
million dollars, and the remainder was enough for her to buy a large flat somewhere a little off the grid.
"I've done the math. The down payment for a 1500 square feet place costs about three million dollars. I can take out a loan to
pay a part of it, and I'll probably be able to get a new job as soon as I finish filming The Palace. That means I can pay it off after
about two years."
Stella would use the rest to pay for Marshall's legal fees.
Felicity was excited when she heard about the plan. Remember to call me up when you view the place! I want to be part of
choosing where we'll live next!"
"You got it." Stella laughed. "By the way, who's your friend who lent me the one million? I want to invite them over for a meal to
show them my gratitude."
"Mmm... He's a big shot in our circle," Felicity explained. "But he likes to keep a low profile, so he would probably reject the offer.
Anyway... It's getting late. I'm hitting the sheets."
After Felicity returned to her room, Stella called Marshall. "Mr. Moore, I want to proceed with the defamation lawsuit on Bella
Young."
There was enough evidence for the defamation case, and the probability of winning was high. Initially, Stella wanted to deal with
it after the lawsuit with Albert was over. But she could not bear seeing Bella do whatever she wanted anymore, so she decided to
deal with her first.
The two chatted for a long time, and when they were about to hang up, Marshall asked, "Are you and Keegan okay?"
"We got the divorce." Stella paused. "Please keep my information confidential before the court hearing of the defamation lawsuit,
Mr. Moore."
"Alright. Take care, Ms. Jewell," Marshall whispered.
As soon as they ended the call, Keegan called. Stella frowned. She rejected the call and blocked his number.
