Chapter 1200

As the whispers swirled, Stella couldn’t resist a second glance at Elizabeth, noting undeniable similarities.

Elizabeth, sensing Stella’s scrutiny, met her gaze with a significant look before gracefully descending the stage, wine glass in hand, and approached Matthew.

Encountering Stella, Elizabeth’s enthusiasm was palpable.

“You must be Mrs.

Clark.

Such beauty! We’ve been told we resemble each other.

Does that bother you?”

Stella was taken aback by Elizabeth’s direct approach, realizing that not everyone was comfortable discussing resemblances with others.

However, Elizabeth seemed unfazed by such conversations.

With a gentle shake of her head and a friendly smile, Stella responded, “Of course not.

You’re quite beautiful yourself.

”

Elizabeth offered no reply to this, her attention shifting to Matthew.

“I owe you my gratitude, Mr.

Clark,” she said, her voice embodying a blend of sweetness and vulnerability.

Observing the exchange with a puzzled look, Stella listened as Elizabeth continued, her smile unwavering.

“On Christmas Eve, I was in a bit of a state, drunk and passed out by the roadside.

Mr.

Clark, here, was my savior.

He took me to the hospital, stayed until I was treated, and then quietly left.

Mrs.

Clark, your husband’s kindness is remarkable.

”

Silently absorbing Elizabeth’s words, Stella pieced together the story of whom Matthew had aided that night.

Elizabeth’s tone might have been neutral, but to Stella, there was an underlying sting in her words.

Matthew, his expression unreadable, tightened his grip on Stella’s hand and offered a straightforward explanation.

“It was a cold night.

I couldn’t just leave her there.

It was the right thing to do, nothing more.

”

His attempt to distance himself from the situation left Elizabeth slightly embarrassed, yet she maintained her composure, adding a polite, “Thank you, Mr.

Clark.

”

Matthew didn’t reply.

A brief, awkward silence followed, eventually broken by Luther’s timely arrival.

His presence eased the tension considerably.

Luther, addressing Matthew, expressed gratitude.

“Mr.

Clark, your commitment to a long-term contract with our company is greatly appreciated.

I promise to deliver more exceptional films.

”

Matthew replied nonchalantly, “You’re welcome.

I believe your company has a bright future.

”

“You’re a talented and dedicated director, Luther.

We’d be delighted to collaborate on future projects,” Stella chimed in, her tone warm and supportive.

Grinning broadly, Luther responded, “That’s a deal.

With two capable collaborators like you, success is assured.

”

Intrigued, Stella asked, “Is there another one?”

Luther cleared his throat before replying, “For my upcoming film, I’ve chosen Elizabeth as the lead actress.

”

Pressing her lips together, Stella remained silent.
