Chapter 1318
When Love Comes Late
The question resonated deeply with Elizabeth, igniting her eagerness to push Stella aside and seize back her position as the leading lady.
Despite her enthusiasm, Elizabeth remained collected.
âIâve been diving deep into the script these last few days.
My last go was just skimming the surface.
If youâre open to it, Iâm game to step in anytime.
â
Luther gave her a nod of approval.
âToday, the stage is yours.
Stella will be sitting out.
â
âJust one thingâ¦â Elizabeth hesitated to continue.
Lutherâs brow creased with thought.
âIs there something else?â
Elizabethâs words were laced with a touch of regret.
âIâve got my makeup down perfectly, but I still havenât settled on an outfit.
Could you ask Stella to help me out? Her style is flawless, you know.
I want this movie to be flawless too.
â
Luther nodded in agreement, clearly pleased with Elizabethâs approach that day.
He turned to Stella, who was standing off to the side in silence, and said, âStella, weâve got the earlier scenes in the can.
How about we let Elizabeth take the lead for the next ones? Itâll bring a nice sense of consistency to the story.
From now on, you can get back to focusing on Elizabethâs wardrobe.
â
A quiet buzz of surprise rippled through the crowd, as they internally applauded Elizabethâs clever tactic.
Stellaâs gaze locked onto Elizabethâs, her lips pressed firmly together, showing she wasnât about to yield under Elizabethâs intense Look.
âLuâ¦â Luka couldnât stand to look on any longer and felt the urge to defend Stella, but the moment he tried to speak, Stella silenced him with a hand.
Turning her attention to Luther, Stella admitted, âIâll follow your lead.
My actions today caused the delay in our filmâs schedule.
Iâm sorry.
â
Luther didnât respond, just casually waved his hand, indicating Stella should get Elizabethâs outfit quickly.
After a brief exchange of courtesies with Luther, Elizabeth left, Rose close behind.
Stella hung back.
Once they were out of hearing range, she confronted Rose.
âWhat was in that drink you gave me today?â

Taken aback, Elizabeth and Rose stopped, looking at each other in shock.
Rose put on an act of confusion, responding in an innocent voice, âWhat are you suggesting, Stella? I just did what the director told me to and did your makeup.
Is something wrong?â
âYouâre not telling the truth, Rose! How about we ask the director if he ever asked you to handle my makeup specifically?â Stellaâs Look turned steely, her tone edged with accusation.
âWhy are you being so unreasonable? Iâm at a loss as to why youâre upset with me,â Rose answered with a facade of confusion, unfazed.
Stellaâs voice took on a low, threatening tone.
âJust wait.
Iâll figure this out.
â
A wave of pleasure washed over Elizabeth as she witnessed Stellaâs evident irritation.
Despite her complex scheme to have Leo harm Stella not fully succeeding, she still had the damning video in her possession.
