Chapter 274

The hot topic list for entertainment was hogged by Stella and Jurisdiction today. The hot topics tag Bella bought became the subject of ridicule. Not long after it was listed on the hot search list, she got someone to take it off. Naturally, Kelly did not see the effects of the advertising, so she called again.

Bella could not be bothered with her antics since she had her own issues to deal with.

“Please just help to repost again. Even a little more exposure is fine. Oh, right. The woman acting in Jurisdiction from the hot search was the new actress Daniel signed for the role of the Empress.”

Bella’s face slumped. “What did you say? Stella’s the new actress Daniel picked?”

“That’s her. Why? From your tone, is she your acquaintance?”

‘It’s not just acquaintances. We practically know each other!‘

Bella’s face turned ugly.

If other actresses were to take the role, she could easily change them out. But now that Stella had accepted the role in The Palace, it would be a little trickier.

When Keegan gave her the voice–acting role in Honor of the Deities, it was under the condition that she rescinds the lawyer’s letter.

She was blacklisted online because of the chain crash incident. Wein got a lawyer to settle the issue but was stopped by Keegan before the case could be settled.

That not only gave her the voice–acting role in Honor of the Deities, but also two regional endorsements for two big brands.

Most of the blackmail materials were dug up by Stella. Otherwise, Keegan would not have given her so many materials to make her drop the lawsuit.

It was impossible for Bella to let Keegan switch out Stella now that she was acting in The Palace.

Keegan would not possibly let her wife lose such an opportunity just for her, after all.

Not hearing any reply on the other end, Kelly did not question further. She reminded Bella to repost and then hung up.

Bella thought hard, and a person who could help her suddenly came to mind.

She dismissed Wein, flipped open a book, and dialed the number written inside.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected. She spoke in a low voice, “It’s Bella…”

Trevor got out of the bath, poured himself some water, sat on the sofa, and picked up the file to go through it again.

His phone rang not long after. He picked up and replied indifferently, “What is it?”

“Mr. Franklin called. He said to switch out the actress for one of the roles.”

Trevor sipped his tea and asked, “Who does he want to switch out?”

“The actress playing the Empress. He wants to change it to Bella.”

Trevor paused for a moment. “Whose idea was this?”

“It looks like it was Mr. Kane.”

“Keegan?” Trevor frowned. “Are you sure?”

“Hearing from Mr. Franklin, it’s definitely him.”

Trevor scowled. He replied after some time, “Tell him to find me himself if he wants the actress changed.”

The Palace was aired in a lowkey manner on the 19th of April, without informing the media outlet or news of release on any entertainment platform. The crew members were made to sign a confidentiality agreement, and no one was allowed to upload pictures, videos, or sound records from the film set.

If found out, one would have their contract canceled, kicked off the crew, and made to pay up to three times of liquidated damages.

The opening ceremony was a success, and it was also the same day Stella met the show’s male and female leads.
