Chapter 228
After Stella had bandaged his wound, Keegan had already fallen asleep.
She put away the first-aid kit and pondered a bit before lying down next to Keegan.
Every half an hour, Stella would get up to check Keegan’s temperature. At two in the morning, Keegan’s
temperature finally dropped to 38 degrees. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and fall
asleep as she could not stay up any longer.
The next day when Keegan woke up, he felt much better, except for his shoulder, which felt like there
was a heavy rock on it.
He frowned and opened his eyes, wanting to push whatever was on his shoulder. But, before he could
touch it, he saw Stella’s sleeping face. He could not help but recall what had happened in the bathroom
last night.
After staring at Stella for a long time, he slowly moved his outstretched hand and moved her head aside.
Keegan looked at Stella with disgust as soon as he felt the wet drool on his shoulder. He then picked up
a blanket and clumsily covered her with it.
When Stella woke up, it was already noon, and Keegan and Aldor were no longer in the Kane residence.
She cursed inwardly, “That bastard. I took care of him all night, yet he didn’t even thank me.”
Stella picked up her phone and realized that Felicity had called her many times. She quickly returned her
call.
“Why did you take so long to return my call?” Felicity said through her gritted teeth, “I thought Bella’s fans
had assassinated you!”
“I slept late last night, and I just woke up. What’s wrong? Why did you call me so many times?”
“Just check your social media,” replied Felicity.
“What is it about?” Stella asked.
“When Kelly, that bitch, was promoting her new drama, reporters asked her a few questions. She
mocked you and said that you’re raising your own pay rate and acting like a diva!”
Stella frowned and quickly clicked on a social media app. The top trending topic was “Kelly Dusk
Galaxy”. The next post was “Are Voice Actors More Suitable for Roles Than Actors?.” Both of these
topics were filled with a strong sense of opposition.
Stella clicked on the post and saw the video Felicity had mentioned.
Kelly Harper’s company was about to release a web series. Although Kelly was not the director, she was
credited as the screenwriter. Moreover, all the actors in the series were newly signed by Kelly’s company.
In the past two years, web series adapted from web s had been quite popular, and several new
artists had gained their fame because of those series. Apparently, Kelly also wanted to take the same
route. To promote the new series and her own artists, she had invited Bella Young to make a guest
appearance as well.

After she was done cleaning up, Stella helped him out and changed his clothes.

When Stella had finished sweeping up all the broken glass, she brought the first-aid kit over and
changed the bandage on his arm.
Stella unwrapped the gauze and found that Keegan’s wound was bleeding again. The wound looked as
though it had been stitched up again.
She thought to herself, ‘Didn’t he go to Bella? Does Bella know how to stitch up a wound?”
Stella did not have time to think about it, and she used a cotton swab to disinfect the wound.
Although Keegan was sleepy, he still looked at Stella without blinking. She was not wearing makeup, so
the mole on her nose was partially visible, which looked similar to when they first met. But, it was also a
bit different. He recalled that when she was handling those stains in the bathroom, her face never
showed a hint of disgust throughout the entire process.

appearance as well.
Recently, Bella was on the list of trending searches because of her conflicts with the voice
actor, Dusk Galaxy. Her popularity was not that good at the moment. The reporters who attended the
press conference were not interested in Kelly’s new series but in the conflict between Bella and Dusk
Galaxy.
Hence, the reporters kept bringing up this subject during the entire interview. When she asked about how
she viewed the relationship between actors and voice actors, whether it was for the hype or her
friendship with Bella, Kelly commented, “This isn’t about how I see it; it’s about how the audience sees it.
Visuals are the most important element in film and television. Choosing to use a voice actor for dubbing
doesn’t mean that the actor in the role lacks proficiency in delivering lines.
“Sometimes, the voice of an actor doesn’t match the role. For example, when an actress has to play a
strong female role despite having a high-pitched voice, her voice may not be able to portray the
character. That’s when professional voice actors are needed for dubbing to make up for the
shortcomings. That way, the series can deliver a better portrayal of those roles.
“It’s a pretty normal thing. I don’t understand why people would argue about this subject. To me, in cases
like this, voice actors are just the ‘voice doubles’ for actors. We still need the actors’ faces to portray
those roles.
“It’s just that some voice actors got cocky because their fans put them on a pedestal. I have encountered
one before. Actually, I’ve never met her in person. I was thinking since we worked on a drama series
before, perhaps we should participate in a variety show to promote the drama series.
“While the other actors were willing to make time for it, she declined it. We were even willing to change
the schedule for her. We thought she might have some urgent business to attend to. But later, we found
out that she felt that the pay was low, and she wanted to receive the same rate as a leading actor.
“When that drama was aired, she hired cyber-troopers to criticize the actors every day. Just because she
received a few praises from her fans, she assumed that the success of the drama was all because of
her.
“I can’t help but roll my eyes. She’s just a voice double. How significant can she be? Yet, she dared to
ask for a leading actress’s pay rate. A ‘voice double’ is just a ‘voice double’; anyone can do it. This kind
of person has brought bad influence to showbiz…”
Kelly did not name the person, but the internet detectives quickly figured out the main character of the

There was a popular drama recently known for the conflicts between the actor and voice actor, and the
highly anticipated The Sound of Film and Television was about to be released. Hence, the only one who
fit the descriptions was Dusk Galaxy
The video of Kelly’s interview had gained millions of views on short video platforms, and the subject was
a hot topic on the trending list.
Instantly, Bella’s fans stormed to Dusk Galaxy’s Facebook and bombarded her with comments and
private messages.
[This bitch thinks she’s a leading actress.)
[She doesn’t even have the courage to show her face. No wonder she can only be a ‘voice double.’]
[After watching so many drama series, this is the first time I’ve seen a barrage of comments mentioning a
voice actor. For her to hire so many cyber-troopers, I wonder how desperate she wants fame.]
[She didn’t do that for fame. She’s just envious of others earning more than her.]
[Didn’t her fans always say that Bella Young isn’t qualified to be her ‘face double’? Ask her to be in “The
Sound of Film and Television’, and we’ll see who will be the one embarrassed when they are both in the
same footage.]
Stella looked at the stupid comments and almost laughed out loud.
‘As a voice actor, I’ve been trying my best to avoid conflicts, yet she said that I brought bad influence? If
it wasn’t for Bella’s fans constantly praising her acting and line delivery skills online, would the netizens
make those comparison videos?’ Stella thought, ‘She started playing the victim when she couldn’t beat
me. She said she had a cold or sore throat and blamed me. And, if I had the money to buy my way to the
top of the trending list, would I still need to sell that bag?”

Bella had been the one creating drama. When Stella declined the invitation from the crew, she had made
it clear and never said anything about low pay. She could not help but wonder about the source of those
false rumors.
Suddenly, Stella remembered the Facebook user who had sent her private messages the night before.
That sender did ask me to name a price. It can’t be a coincidence.”
Felicity said, “Stella, why don’t you do a livestream to clear your name? I’m so angry when I read these
comments. I feel like punching these people in the face! How dare they call you a voice double’! Is
Bella’s face even gorgeous enough to match your voice?”
“No, we signed a contract.” Stella was calm. “And, this is just a small matter. It’s not worth exposing my
identity.”
“So, are we just going to sit here and let these people talk crap about you? I can’t take it!”
‘Kelly wants to promote her new web series, and Bella’s goal is to discredit me and redeem her image,”
Stella explained with a smile. “They both need to hype this subject to achieve their respective objectives.
So, if they want that kind of result, why don’t we help them?”
