Chapter 293
If they had spoken privately about not having any awards in their acting career, Bella would not have felt that she wasembarrassing herself. She initially did not pursue the path of a professional actress. But, the numbers on her films broadcastwould leave other same- generation actresses in the dust. She was very confident of her own commercial value.
However, Stella had stabbed her right where it hurt and directly hit her Achilles heel with one swing. Seeing her not respondingfor a long while, Stella smiled through her eyes. “Ms. Young, why aren’t you speaking? Is it because you have so many awardsthat you can’t think of one with the heaviest weight on you?”
Bella squeezed out a smile and said, “I don’t really care about these vain credits. If the masses think it’s good, then it’s good.Each judge has a different opinion on acting, so you can’t just use awards to weigh the ability of someone’s acting.”
“Oh,” Stella nodded her head. “I instead feel that the judge’s insights are quite spot on since they have achieved excellence intheir respective fields to have the right to sit at the judge’s panel to grade others. If a professional can’t even stand an actor’sperformance, it is most likely that the person doesn’t know how to act. If someone can’t even act, what right do they have tocomment on whether someone else’s acting is good? Truthfully, it sounds like the person is taking the long way to earnembarrassment.”
Bella’s face was pale, and she could not say a word for a long while. If the words she had said were direct, then Stella hadstripped her of any dignity to the point of almost cursing her in front of her face. Yet, she could not retaliate her words.
Stella had enough of Bella’s expressions and yelped, “Ah.” Then, she said apologetically, Don’t mind me, Ms. Young. I’m nottargeting you. It’s just that we are discussing it, and we can mention it casually. You won’t get angry, right, Ms. Young?”
She remembered the words that Bella had said clearly and used her words against her word for word accurately.‘Trying to play the calculative bitch? Who doesn’t know how to play that role?’ Stella thoughtto herself.
Bella’s expression was stiff, and she could not say much for quite some time. In the end, Mrs. Chapman continued, “We alreadysaid it's just a casual talk. You are such a stickler, Mrs. Kane. Ms. Young is not from an acting school background.” After she saidthat, she paused. “Ms. Young, didn’t you prepare an event for everyone?”
Stella glanced at her and thought, ‘Wasn't she the one who boasted that Bella was at professional? When she is at a loss, shesays she doesn’t have an acting school background? Everything good and bad is all up to her interpretation.’
Mrs. Chapman was quite the bitch of a person and still had a close relationship with Dahlia. Stella did not want to interact withher and was worried that it would get her into a mess. So, she did not speak any further.
She was also a little bewildered. For a mere hundred thousand dollars, was there a need for Mrs. Chapman to hold a grudge forso long? She even helped an actress who she did not like to speak out It was indeed out of her imagination.
Stella assumed that this incident had ended. She was not the type of person to cause trouble. If Bella did not purposely try to rileher up, she would be too lazy to bother with her. As a person, if Bella had been better than her in all fields, it would probably stirher spirit to compete and make her want to have a showdown with Bella until the end. Yet, Bella had nothing spectacular to showfor herself. She was only devious. Stella was too lazy to go against her because it was unbecoming of her.
She glanced at the stilettos under Bella’s feet. The suspicions that she buried deep down. started to surface again. She did notknow how Bella got on the cruise, but Bella definitely had an event to perform in. However, it was not a play but a piano recital.
The piano was already prepared on deck with a band to accompany her. It seemed legitimate. Bella first did a speech to roughlythank whoever had invited her and et cetera.
She was still considered a famous actress, and her looks were quite pretty. She wore a tulle skirt with princess braids. Sittingthere, she looked like a princess with an air of regalness.novelbin
Bella first did a soundcheck, followed by nodding lightly to the accompanying band. Her fingers then swiftly flew across the pianokeys. The melodious sound slowly spread out. Under the effects of the sea, night, and piano, the song became especiallypleasant.
After the song ended, applause continuously came. Bella stood up and elegantly bowed to everyone and thanked them.
The men surrounding her shouted, “Another one. Once is not enough.”
