Chapter 1980
Fortunately, Stella did not fall.
She heaved a sigh of relief. When she was about to stand up and apologize to the person, she heard a
sardonic voice. "Are you trying to take advantage of me in this dark place?"
Stella got goosebumps all over and immediately jumped up.
Spencer leaned back in his seat and looked at Stella with a smile. "Miss, you're blocking my view," he
said slowly.
The audience in the back row shouted, "Don't just stand there. Sit down.
The movie has already started."
With a tense face, Stella opened her phone to check her seat number, but unfortunately, her seat was
right next to Spencer's.
Coco pulled Stella's hand and looked at her with a widened gaze. It was as though she was asking her
why she was not sitting.
Stella took a deep breath and sat Coco down between her and Spencer.
The opening credits were over, and the movie had started. Stella could feel Spencer's piercing gaze on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther without having to turn her head.
Then, she calmly pulled her cap down.
A soft laughter came from the side, but she pretended not to hear it and continued watching the movie.
Stella could not stand how Spencer would keep appearing in her life like a ghost haunting her.
She then thought about the time when Keegan was still missing, Spencer suggested pretending to date
someone to lure Keegan out.
Stella refused to believe that he would suggest something so outrageous without any ulterior motives.
Motives for Murder had been aired for nine days, earning a box office of five hundred and thirty million.
It was only ranked fifth on the list, while the first place had a box office of two point three billion by
today, showing a considerable gap.
The positive side was that after the New Year holiday, the box office of the other top-performing films
had dropped significantly. But, it was not the same for Motives for Murder. The screening rate had
increased over the past few days, which was a good sign.
In the morning, Leighton even sent her a screenshot of the ratings of Motives for Murder on a movie
review platform. It had a score of 7.9.
As a locally made suspense film, it was already a very good rating. And, it was still rising. It only had a
score of 6.9 when it first aired.
But, in just three days, it increased by one point. Considering the chaos caused by Leighton's fans,
who were maliciously giving it a one-star rating, it was an impressive achievement.
Stella intentionally avoided watching the movie, so she could watch it with Keegan. Coco insisted on
watching it with her, so she gave in and planned to watch it with Keegan another time.
Unfortunately, before she could watch it with Keegan, she bumped into her ex-boyfriend in the
screening hall.
Tm glad that Keegan isn't here, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain this to him,' she thought to
herself.
Coco's eyes were wide open during the movie. Stella was amused and wondered if she could
understand a suspense film at such a young age.
Stuart's visual language was excellent, and he used plenty of long shots throughout the film, especially
in the scenes with Stella and Nicole.
While filming, there were a few scenes where their lines deviated from the script due to heightened
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmemotions. However, Stuart did not interrupt them and just had them reshoot the scenes with the original
lines.
Stella thought that Stuart would use the latest version, but unexpectedly, he did not.
In the long shots without any effects, the excellent performance of both actresses was clearly captured.
They were so natural that it looked as if they were not acting at all.
Leighton's performance was commendable too. It significantly surpassed his previous works.
In the acting scene, working with an experienced actor could make one get into character a lot easier.
Along with some talent in acting, it might even help them make a breakthrough in their career.
There was never a dull moment in the two-hour-long movie, and it ended with a press interview of the
character Stella portrayed.
"She" had finally become successful. After performing on a world-class stage, a crowd of reporters
rushed over to interview "her". Then, one of them brought up the incident where "her" roommate was
poisoned and asked if she was involved in it.
At that time, "she" had already immigrated to another country. Upon hearing that question, "she" smiled
and said, "There's no point in getting the answer to this question now."
