Chapter 42
Stella gritted her teeth. “Actually, you remind me of something. As long as I’m healthy and sleep with a
regular man, I can get pregnant. The one who needs supplements is you!” After she said that, she
stuffed the decoction into his arms, “You can keep the drink to yourself!”
She finished talking and slammed the door before she left. Keegan lowered his gaze and looked at the
decoction with a bewildered expression. When Maya had finished cleaning up, Keegan had already left.
The bowl left on the coffee table was already empty. The nanny took out her phone and took a picture
before sending it.
When Stella rushed to the hotel, she was a few minutes later than the agreed time. Felicity had been
waiting for her from much earlier. Once they met, she ridiculed her in a low voice. “So much pressure. I
initially thought we would be early if we arrived an hour earlier. Instead, we are the last! Being a middle to

Stella glanced along the corridor, and she saw that there were actually twenty to thirty people standing
there. Some of them were artists who came independently, and some had their managers with them.
Just by counting some of them, there were close to twenty competitors. Everyone touched up their
makeup, warmed up their voices, and even stretched their legs by pressing them on the wall. All of the
actresses were very pretty, without exception.
The bit of confidence Stella had in her looks suddenly faltered. She was kept captive by Keegan for too
long and assumed that having a beautiful face would allow her to do whatever she wanted. Yet, in actual
fact, there were too many beautiful people in this industry. Beauty, instead, was the most normal thing
there.
To be able to distinguish oneself from the group of people who already have some professional acting
experience in this field was to rely on their own professional competence. The face was, at most, the
cherry on top.
Recognizing this point, Stella could not help but feel nervous.
Felicity had also noticed this and comforted her in a low voice. “There is no need to be so nervous. Just
treat it as an assignment in university. Just perform steadily and don’t overthink. If we can perform this
scene smoothly, we are halfway there to success.”
Stella relaxed slightly and said softly, “I’ll try my best.”
In a short while, the door to the room opened. A woman who could only be described as competent held
a stack of resumes and came out of the room. She shouted, “When we call out your names later, just go
into the room directly. The duration for memorizing your lines and performing must not exceed eight
minutes. You will manage the time yourself.”
Then, the first actor was called in to enter. The atmosphere on site immediately turned anxious. A total of
sixteen actors auditioned, and each person had eight minutes. This would at least require more than two

Stella’s nerves were tense, and she was prepared to be called out any moment. However, when there
were only two people left, she still did not have her name called out. After the last actor had left, she was
the only one left at the scene. Yet, after waiting for a long time, she did not see anyone call out her name.
Something was wrong. Felicity’s heart also started to beat faster. “Let’s wait a little longer. I bet they’re
busy with something else.” Yet, she did not believe a single word she said herself.
After another few minutes, the door opened, and both of their hearts stopped. The person who came out
was the woman who was calling out names previously, but this time, she did not come out to call any
names. Instead, she went downstairs.
Felicity got up and chased after her to stop her. “Miss, why is there no continued audition for this scene?
Did something happen?”
The woman glanced at her and nonchalantly said, “The audition is over.”
Felicity was confused. “Miss, you must be kidding me. My group hasn’t been called out yet.”
