Chapter 318
With that, Bradley glanced at Stella, “You do know how to seize the chance when you see it, don‘t
you?” Stella rubbed her nose, “Better than being a sitting duck.” “Excellent. I admire such
proactiveness,” Bradley nodded. “Come over here. I‘ll introduce you to some people.”
Stella followed behind him, rather taken aback. “Aren‘t we supposed to talk about the scenes?”
“I saw how smoothly you recited your lines and know you‘ve more or less grasped them all. There are a
few seniors I‘d like you to meet. If you want to improve your standard, they are the best people to talk
to.
“These are all seniors who were untrained at the beginning but can now act very well. As long as you
treat them with courtesy, I‘m sure you will get along.”
Excitement flashed across Stella‘s eyes. “Thank you, Director!”

personally to check on our progress... of course, everything is ready.” One of the slightly older–looking
ladies stood up and joked, “I heard you flaring up just now. What just happened?”
Instincts told her that it had something to do with Guinevere. Bradley, however, didn‘t want to dwell on
the topic. “Something unlucky,” he replied simply. Everyone knew who he was referring to, but no one
said it out loud.
The atmosphere became tense with awkwardness.
One of the older actresses familiar with the industry was halfway through putting on makeup when she
stood up with the goodie bag in hand and said, “Whatever it is, at least she extended a token to all of
us! I looked at what was inside, and it seemed rather expensive! And it appears everyone got
something different...”
With that, something came to Bradley‘s mind. “Give Ella one too,” he instructed his assistant.
Stella was confused. “What is it?”
The assistant explained, “It‘s Guinevere‘s wedding gift bag. You must have heard about her, right? She
got married a while back, but for some strange reason, she‘s decided to distribute some gifts today, as
if it‘s some special date. They look like wedding favors, but we don‘t really know what it‘s for exactly....”
Stella was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly realized why Weston said that he might not be coming back tonight.
It was because of Guinevere.
“Weren‘t they already married?”
“Everyone says so, but who knows what‘s the truth? After all, for people from such prominent
families, marriage is probably a huge affair for them...” Another actor couldn‘t help but add on.
at heard that both of them even have a child. They should have been married a long time ago!”
“Come on, are they ordinary folks like we are? Even if they were, having a child out of wedlock is so

“Why did Guinevere distribute these, then?”
“I have no idea. Perhaps she is holding some celebration today and she wants to share the joy with the
crew and salvage her reputation at the same time?”
Everyone had their guesses, but no one was sure.
Whatever it was, it ultimately was none of their business.
They cared about it as much as it provided fodder for their gossip.
They didn‘t even have the guts to spread rumors about Guinevere.
After so many years, Guinevere had gained for herself a sizable number of fans. Such insignificant and
minor rumors could do nothing to destroy her reputation. Stella remained silent throughout. Bradley
was sensitive enough to feel a change in her mood, and he asked her, “What‘s the matter? Are you
feeling shy in front of so many strangers?” Stella shook her head and smiled, “No, I just feel humbled in
the face of so many excellent seniors. As a newbie with no foundation to speak of, I‘m worried about
pulling everyone down
The entertainment industry had no lack of people who displayed such humility. But such humility could
never be faulted.
