Chapter 1054
The words, "having connections’ carried a strong sense of bitterness, and they made Stella immediately stop walking.
The crew members around them heard what Bella said and looked at Stella.
In showbusiness, when someone said that an actress had connections, it would often imply that she was a sugar baby.
After all, only a few people who were as rich as Nicole would venture into the entertainment industry.
It would take an enormous of luck for an actress to participate in a big production without having anyone to support her at the
back. It was extremely difficult.
So, a lot of them believed it when Bella said that Stella was a sugar baby.
With Stella's gorgeous face, it was hard for others not to be convinced that no one was backing her up in exchange for her body.
Even though some actresses did not want to take that path, once someone took an interest in the actresses, there were various
ways for one to force them into complying.
In fact, there had been gossip circulating among the crew members such as Stella having an unclear relationship with Mr. Saun
of Elegant Media.
Whenever Stella had to be on the set, Mr. Saun of Elegant Media would visit her, claiming that he wanted to pay more attention
to his company's artists. However, he would never look at the actress who created the most value for his company, Bella.
Instead, his gaze was always fixed on Stella.
One time, when Stella had to film a scene where she got into a conflict with another actor, the actor used too much strength and
ended up leaving a red mark on Stella's wrist. Even though Mr. Saun did not say anything about it, his eyes looked as if he was
going to murder that actor.
And, when Bella passed out and was hospitalized, Mr. Saun had only visited her once to deal with public relations. Then, never
again.
The double standard was way too obvious for others not to make assumptions about his relationship with Stella.
So, everyone naturally assumed that Bella was referring to Mr. Saun from Elegant Media when she said that. Bella was very
upset because of how differently she was treated by the company compared to Stella.
Internal conflicts among artists were simply very common.
Stella turned around and glanced at her. Then, she chuckled.
Bella paused as she was puzzled. "What's so funny?" she frowned and asked.
Stella shrugged her shoulders. "I just don't think the result is anything great. We're only in third place on the chart, yet the person
who's on top of it is being sour about it. Don't you think this is funny? After all, this is my first time seeing a person with higher
viewership mocking someone under her. You're making others think that I'm actually better than you."
Bella's face turned red. 'What a sharp-tongued bitch.'
Then, she said, "It was just a joke, Ms. Jewell. Don't be angry."
Stella lifted her brows. "I'm not angry at all. I'm more than happy that you praised me for the good result." She paused for a
moment before she continued, "If we were to talk about connections, mine are nowhere near yours. I remember in your first
drama, you partnered with the most popular actor at that time with the best production team. If I remember correctly, the
viewership of that drama was the highest among costume dramas in the past ten years, and the record remained unbroken."
Bella got a little angry when she heard Stella talking about connections. But, as soon as she realized how familiar she was with
her achievements, Bella felt proud.
The more Stella knew about her indicated how much she was bothered by her existence.
Bella was very happy that she could get into Stella's head.
So, she smirked and said, "Ms. Jewell, you do know a lot about me, huh? Did you find out about this on your own, or did
someone else tell you about it?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "someone else".
And Stella knew exactly who she was implying
