âI didnât expect a goodâlooking girl like her would be a homewrecker.â
âArenât all the young girls like this nowadays? They have no shame! They wouldnât stop at being just a mistress. They even shamelessly show up in front of their menâs original spouses now!â
âItâs funny looking at her cowering look as she gets yelled at...â âWait!
Isnât that one of the actresses in Bradleyâs cast? I think she came with Bradley...â
âHow can a person like that be an actress? I wonât watch her films...â
âI wonât watch it either...â
The onlookers soon found a new way to attack her.
Angelina could not bear their gossiping anymore. âYou donât know anything about her. How can you say that? Weâre colleagues in the same crew. Sheâs very quiet and obedient, except when sheâs acting. Thereâs no way she would do something like this!â
âWhoâs this?â
âShe seems to be the same as the woman named Ella. Theyâre cast in the same movie. Bradley brought them both here.â
âCould it be that...â Some people showed a meaningful smile on their faces. Although they did not finish their sentence, many could understand the implied meaning.
âI never thought there could be real friends in this industry...â
âWho knows. Maybe theyâre real friends or theyâre both serving the same man...â
They looked at Angelina as if she was Stellaâs accomplice.
Angelinaâs expression kept changing. She never thought she would get herself into trouble by standing up for Stella. Stella did not want to involve others in this. She looked at Angelina and said, âIâm fine⦠Iâll handle this myself.â
âBut you,â
âItâs fine.â Stella shook her head firmly.
Angelinaâs eyes flickered, and she held herself back. However, those people were still pointing at her. It seemed like they could condescendingly judge her morality without knowing the truth.
Yates stood not far away and noticed the farce. He frowned and refused to believe that Stella was such a person. Just as he wanted to speak to her, his manager, Brooke, stopped him.â What are you doing?â
Yates fell into a short silence before saying, âI just want to say a few words for her. If this gets out, itâll hurt the crewâs reputation. Itâll affect us too.â
Brooke immediately saw through his mind. âAre you doing it for the crew or justice?â
Yates said nothing.
Brooke rubbed his temples and felt a slight headache. âIâm not trying to stop you, but you canât control this situation. Youâll probably end up in bigger trouble.â
How could Yates not understand this? He had been in the entertainment industry for years. He knew many had gotten into trouble for speaking up for another person.
âYouâre a veteran in this industry. I didnât think youâd be this impulsive.â
After saying that, Brooke looked at Yates meaningfully. âYouâre treating her a little differently.â
Yates immediately restrained his expression and said apologetically, âSorry. This wonât happen again.â
âGood.â Brooke withdrew his gaze.
It seemed like Stella was left to fight alone.
She gave Joyce a cold look and suddenly smiled. âIt seems like youâre sure that no one here knows us...â
She took out her phone and suddenly waved it in front of her.
Joyce said suspiciously, âStop spouting nonsense here! I know youâre trying to get yourself out of this situation. But no matter what you say, everyone will know that youâre the shameless homewrecker that destroys other peopleâs family,â
Before Joyce could finish her sentence, Stella interrupted her. â Well, you keep saying Iâve destroyed your family and hooked up with your man. Iâll have to ask... Whoâs your husband?â
