Chapter 222

Stella thought that the messages would contain some offensive words she could screenshot and show to Marshall. She figured that it would help with the lawsuit. But, when she opened the conversation tab, she was stunned.

The message sender claimed to be Bella’s manager, hoping that Dusk Galaxy could participate in the variety show, “The Sound of Film and Television”.

Stella received this invitation not long after she had turned down the offer. She was impressed by how resourceful Bella was.

Stella scrolled down the message to read on. The sender talked about Dusk Galaxy’s previous social media post that aimed to clarify the rumors about the voice-acting role in Honor of the Deities. “He”

pointed out that the post had caused some misunderstandings, but Bella was willing to let it go, assuming that it was not Dusk Galaxy’s intention.

“He” also emphasized that the success behind Secret Sweetheart was the result of the collaboration between Bella and Dusk Galaxy, which was significant to both sides. They hoped that Dusk Galaxy could participate in the variety show despite previous unpleasantness.

“He” added that they would collaborate with the program team during the show’s broadcast to tag Bella and redirect traffic to her. They believed that the show would dispel rumors about Bella and Dusk Galaxy not being on good terms, and Dusk Galaxy could gain a wave of goodwill, resulting in a win-win situation.

Although “he” claimed that it was an invitation, the tone was laced with arrogance, and it lacked sincerity.

‘Ignoring whether this person is truly Bella’s manager or not, the way this person phrased it made it seem like everyone should be grateful for the opportunity to bask in Bella Young’s popularity,’ Stella thought.

Stella had thought of sending a sarcastic reply, but she opted for a cautious approach after pondering for a while. “Hi, thank you for the invitation. When the program team first invited me and mentioned Bella Young’s participation, I was really excited. However, due to practical considerations, I won’t be able to join the recording of “The Sound of Film and Television’ this time. I’m really sorry about that.

There’s no doubt that Ms. Young is incredibly popular, and while I’m envious of that, I also know my own abilities and that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. I must decline her generous offer. I hope everything goes well with the recording.”

A few minutes later, the sender fired back, “So, how much do you want us to pay you to join. the show?”

Stella sneered. ‘Wow, a direct confrontation without even trying to hide it, huh?”

She replied, “It’s not about the money. I really won’t be able to participate in the show.”

“Come on, we’re all reasonable people here, so let’s cut to the chase. Give me a price, or I will make sure that you won’t work in the voice-acting industry again. Do you believe me?” Stella was amused.

“Who does “he” think “he” is? Is “he” threatening me?”

As far as Stella knew, Bella was still under Green Hill Media, which was owned by Vermont. The only person who could be Bella’s benefactor was Keegan Kane, who had provided her with resources for years.

But, Keegan was a man of principle. There was no way that he would be ruthless to another party for no reason.

Based on Bella’s qualifications, Stella was confident that Bella’s party would need much more than that to force her out of the voice-acting industry.

So, it was either that Bella had another backer, or it was simply Bella trying to intimidate her.

Even if they could really make that happen, Stella was still unfazed by the situation, as she had no intention of pursuing her voice-acting career anymore.

However, the threatening words still made her feel sick.

Despite the unpleasantness, she quickly saved screenshots of the conversation and blocked the sender.

Meanwhile, at Lake Villa, Bella’s face darkened as she looked at the message rejection notification.

She snarled inwardly, ‘Dusk Galaxy is really insolent!”

Bella had hoped to “clarify” the previous incident related to the voice-acting role for Honor of the Deities. She had planned to use the variety show as an opportunity to redeem her image by proving her line delivery skills through a collaboration with Dusk Galaxy.

However, now that Dusk Galaxy had refused to join that variety show, all of Bella’s efforts to help bring a budget to the program crew had gone to waste, leaving her more infuriated than ever.

Now, not only were the netizens mocking her online, but even some actors in show business were being sarcastic toward her.

Bella’s vast resources had already put her in the public eye. Recently, she had created a fake romance out of a traffic accident but was exposed.

Shortly thereafter, Dusk Galaxy mocked her for using connections to steal the voice-acting role in Honor of the Deities. This allowed the netizens to hype the story and portray her as ungrateful.

Despite Keegan’s help, Bella suffered significant losses. She lost several endorsement jobs and had hoped that Dusk Galaxy participating in the variety show would help redeem her image. However, Dusk Galaxy refused to cooperate
