Chapter 293
If they had spoken privately about not having any awards in their acting career, Bella would not have felt
that she was embarrassing herself. She initially did not pursue the path of a professional actress. But,
the numbers on her films broadcast would 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 responding for a long while, Stella smiled through her eyes. “Ms. Young, why aren’t you
speaking? Is it because you have so many awards that 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 in their respective fields to have the right to sit at the judge’s panel to grade others.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf a professional can’t even stand an actor’s performance, it is most likely that the person doesn’t know
how to act. If someone can’t even act, what right do they have to comment on whether someone else’s
acting is good? Truthfully, it sounds like the person is taking the long way to earn embarrassment.”
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 had stripped 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 not targeting 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 thought
to herself.
Bella’s expression was stiff, and she could not say much for quite some time. In the end, Mrs. Chapman
continued, “We already said it’s just a casual talk. You are such a stickler, Mrs. Kane. Ms. Young is not
from an acting school background.” After she said that, 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, she says 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 with her 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 for so 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 rile her 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 stir her spirit to compete and make her want to have a
showdown with Bella until the end. Yet, Bella had nothing spectacular to show for herself. She was only

She glanced at the stilettos under Bella’s feet. The suspicions that she buried deep down. started to
surface again. She did not know 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 roughly thank 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. Sitting there, she looked like a princess with an air of regalness.
Bella first did a soundcheck, followed by nodding lightly to the accompanying band. Her fingers then
swiftly flew across the piano keys. The melodious sound slowly spread out. Under the effects of the sea,
night, and piano, the song became especially pleasant.
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.”
