Stella also discovered that the director of Jurisdiction was a well-experienced producer. He did a similar show for another TVchannel more than ten years ago, and it was a big hit. A few years later, however, due to changes in the TV channel and somebusiness disputes, the show got canceled.
Until this day, the show was unforgettable in the minds of audiences. It was so popular that even now, many content creatorsderive their videos from elements of the show.
With him on the show, even if the new show was a complete replica of his hit show back then, the views and ratings would bemore than decent.
Stella’s heart was racing with excitement. ‘It was the right choice to attend this jewelry exhibition. A work opportunity came to meby itself!”
To avoid seeming overeager, she pretended to hesitate. “I am indeed interested, but | haven’t had an acting gig all these years.I'm worried that | might hinder the filming progress.”
Carter suddenly chuckled.
Stella glanced at Carter. His expression was strange, as if he had seen right through her. Before Stella could analyze thesituation, Carter continued, “You're being too modest, Mrs. Kane. I’ve seen you acting, and it was a good performance.
Stella was startled by his statement. “You’ve seen me acting?”
After a slight pause, Carter said, “You played Edmund in King Lear. | was in the audience during that performance at TrinityAcademy's anniversary celebration.”
Her part in the play as Edmund was the reason why Stella was popular back in college. It was considered her best work backthen.
‘| didn’t expect someone to remember that performance after so many years,’ thought Stella. Stella smiled at the ground andreplied, “They say rest is rust, and | haven't been on stage for years.”
Stella paused for a while, then she continued, “But, since you asked for this favor, Mr. Lowe, I'll give it a try.”Keegan, who had been listening beside her the whole time, frowned. “You're really going for it?”
Stella nodded. “I have nothing to do at home anyway. | could help a friend out and contribute to our country’s public education.Shouldn't you be proud of me?”
Keegan gave her a side glance. “As long as you don’t think it's embarrassing.”
‘You're the one that’s embarrassing!’ Stella thought.
Stella grinned and replied, “You're the one who would be embarrassed. | have no shame.”Keegan smirked at her self-awareness.
Stella had just finished exchanging contacts with Lena when the exhibition started.
The organizers hired a professional host for the opening speech. The Lowes had a few exhibits that needed to be priced byCarter, so he left with Lena.
The host was a famous celebrity, and it was difficult to book him even with high pay. The fact that the Moores were able tosecure him as a host showed how grand the jewelry exhibition
was.
Stella was fascinated by the host when she heard Keegan's voice ask, “Are you close with Carter?”
“Not really, but | owe his brother a favor.”
Stella knew what Keegan wanted to ask.
In Keegan’s point of view, Stella had no previous connections with Carter and Lena. So, it did not make any sense why Stellawas so eager to help them out when they asked.
Stella was not willing to let Keegan know why she had agreed to help. Instead, she boldly misled him for another reason.“Zane Lowe?’ Keegan frowned. “What favor?”Stella pursed her lips. “When | got married to you, he helped me out.”
Years ago, when Stella married Keegan, he left her alone at the wedding, and everyone was waiting to make fun of her. Dahlia,with the intention of keeping up appearances, instructed Stella to make rounds and drink with the guests at every single table.novelbin
