Chapter 1351
When Love Comes Late
She wished Matthew could be there, boost her morale.
They reached the film set.
Many staff were off, making it quiet.
Stella told Matthew to wait outside the meeting room.
She pushed the door open.
Inside the meeting room, it wasnât just Luther.
The main actors and a few staff were there too.
When Stella walked in, the vibe was heavy.
Luther looked stern, Luka appeared worried, and Elizabeth seemed smug.
Stella approached Luther calmly, facing him.
âSeen todayâs headlines?â he asked.
âYes.
â Stella nodded.
âI can explain.
Leo snuck into the set that day.
