Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 726
’Leighton.' The name sounded familiar, but Stella could not pinpoint where she had heard it. Moreover, his face also looked
rather familiar. His features were so delicate that he could be described as a pretty boy.
Since they were going to become partners in the film, Stella wanted to get to know him. However, after introductions, the man
turned away and sat elsewhere. Stella put her hands down embarrassingly and sat down. She took her phone out and searched
for Leighton.
She then realized where she had seen that man before. Leighton was the actor who played the main character in Secret
Sweetheart. Stella had become Bella's voice double at that time, while Leighton did not have a voice actor.
Stella stared at Leighton's face for over a week when they were doing the voiceovers. That was why he looked so familiar.
Leighton Hall—a popular influencer who made his debut on a talent show at the age of twenty-one. His first album won top sales
of the year when it first came out, and his song was nominated for the Golden Melody Award. During the second year of his
debut, he broke records with the TV drama, Celestial Sword. He had one blockbuster TV drama show each year, and within
three years, he became one of the most famous celebrities.
As a result, every actress who worked with him gained fame as well. The fans said that they were lucky. Bella's popularity
skyrocketed precisely that year because of their collaboration in Secret Sweetheart.
Stella had witnessed Leighton's acting skills because she was Bella's voice actor. 'In all fairness, he has the basics.' Drama
celebrities often have low acting requirements. Therefore, many of them were not great actors.
However, Leighton conveys his emotions well on screen. He was one of the few actors who knew how to control his facial
expressions.
However, it was said that Leighton was not someone who was easy to get along with. He also had a weird temper. Usually, when
drama shows air on screen, the main characters have to corporate to push the series. One of the ways to do this is to couple up.
However, Leighton had never pulled this type of publicity stunt with a coworker before. When Secret Sweetheart first came out,
Bella kept tagging Leighton on social media to garner more attraction.
Leighton did not respond at first, but then he unfollowed her accounts before the show ended. Bella's fans were mad and created
a group to show their hate for Leighton for being unprofessional and uncooperative. They were furious at him for creating such
drama between him and his coworker during the show's airing, saying that it was no surprise that he was still a small celebrity.

Leighton's fans did not admit defeat and said that Bella was just a normal girl in beautiful clothing. They scolded her for pulling
the couple publicity stunt every time she worked with someone but could not accept it when her partner refused to do the same.
This incident was rather groundbreaking back then, but it died down within two days. Stella did not pay much attention to the
news, but Felicity sat in the front-row seat and told Stella all about it.
Stella was surprised that Leighton was her partner in Motives for Murder. She recalled that there were not many roles in this film,
and there were only 3-4 males.
She could not imagine someone with a high status like Leighton taking on such a small role. Just as she was thinking about it,
her phone vibrated. She looked down and saw that Keegan had transferred one hundred thousand dollars to her, asking if she
was hungry. 'Why is this man just throwing money at me? Does he think that I would accept his advances like this?1
Stella sent him 10 dollars with the text, [No.]
Keegan quickly transferred another hundred thousand dollars and said, [ What did you have for dinner?]
Stella looked around, and with another ten dollars, she wrote, [A full-on feast.]
Keegan sent one hundred thousand dollars again with [...] as the remark.
Stella was puzzled. 'That much money for just three dots?'
Not long after, Keegan gave her one million dollars with the words, [That's better than what I'm having.]
