Chapter 855
Stuart quickly came over to check on Stella's injury and asked about her well-being.
Stella sat up and smiled through her pale complexion. Then, she said with forced lightheartedness, ’It's fine, Mr. Winfield.
Yolanda didn't do it intentionally. She was just too caught up in the moment. It's my fault for dodging it too slow. I should've stood
more steadily just now. Before this, we succeeded with one take. But now, I've troubled everyone because we need to retake the
scene."
Yolanda's face contorted after hearing Stella's words.
"You clearly fell down yourself. What's that got to do with me? Do I have iron fists? I can make you spit blood with just a slap?"
When Stuart heard Yolanda's words, his expression turned sour, ’ Supposedly, the slap scene needs two actors to cooperate.
How many years have you been an actor? Can't you even control your strength? And your expression just now. You're helping
your friend retaliate, but look at your expression! If one didn't know the story, they'd think that Georgia killed your entire family!"
Yolanda's face turned red in anger.
Stuart then turned to Stella and consoled her. "Get some rest. After this, a doctor will come and take a look at you."
Stella shook her head and said, "It's alright. My tongue hit my teeth. I'll be fine after gargling."
Yolanda thought of something and suddenly jumped up.
"You're completely unhurt, aren't you? You're trying to frame me, aren't you? " she said.
Stella frowned. "Yolanda, let's end it here. Don't slow down everyone's filming progress."
Yolanda sneered, "Hah! I knew it! You're feeling guilty now, aren't you? Mr. Winfield, tell the doctor to come. I dare to say that she
doesn't have any injuries in her mouth!"
Stuart had a tense and icy expression. Meanwhile, everyone else had various expressions.
When Bella saw this, she said, "Mr. Winfield, why don't you let the doctor come and take a look? If the injury is serious and not
treated on time, the filming progress will be slowed down even more. What do you think?"
Stella glanced at her and had a strange expression.
Before Stuart could speak, Leighton impatiently said, "We're stuck for so long when we're only on the first scene. How can we
finish filming in two months? The shot just now was continuous, and it clearly caught her spitting out blood, so what's there to
investigate? The person who got slapped didn't even say anything, yet the person who slapped the other is acting righteously.
What's the matter? Do you plan on going through the legal procedure and paying her compensation after examining her injury?
Would that work?"
Bella pursed her lips and said, "The purpose of the investigation is to set things straight."
"If you were also this serious about your acting, you wouldn't have not won a single award after working for a few years,"
Leighton sneered icily.
Bella's expression stiffened.
Leighton usually would not speak, but when he did, his words usually hit people where they hurt.
Yolanda said angrily, "What's wrong with letting the doctor take a look at her? She doesn't dare to do so because she's guilty-"
Before she could finish speaking, Stuart already felt annoyed. He stood up and said, "All of you zip it. Film if you can; if you can’t,
get lost!"
His words immediately stopped Yolanda from saying what she wanted to say.
Yolanda turned red in anger. Then, she dramatically turned around and left.
Shea hurriedly brought over some water for Stella to gargle.
After everyone had left, Shea finally spoke.
"I was scared shitless just now. What you did was a little too risky."
At first, she did not notice that Stella had taken a blood bag. She only saw Stella walk past the prop team and did not see her
actions at all.
She only realized what had happened when Stella spat out "blood".
Stella spat out a mouthful of water. Then, she said in a low voice, "I've got to let her know that I'm not someone to be messed
with. Otherwise, she'll keep finding ways to give me trouble."
Shea sighed.
"Thank God the doctor didn’t come. Otherwise, you would've been exposed after a single glance."
Stella smiled. "My cover wouldn't have been blown even if the doctor came.
'If the doctor were to really come, I’ll just bite the inside of my cheeks. No biggie. I'll hurt myself, but she'll suffer more damage.
It's a pretty worthwhile deal,' she thought.
