Chapter 507
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
A gentle feminine voice called out from afar. âMr. Kane.â Stella looked up coldly and saw Bella in a pink dress, radiating luxury appearing on the scene. She walked over with a smile. âMr. Saun. Youâre here too?â Her gaze lightly passed Stella, and her lips curved. âHi, Ms. Jewell.â
Keegan frowned and wondered, âWhy is she here?*
Stella remained calm and composed, but she gripped her fingers tightly. She naturally heard the emphasis in Bellaâs pronunciation and understood the gloating and satisfaction in Bellaâs voice when she called her âMs. Jewellâ.
She understood why Bella got carried away. After all, she left with nothing when Keegan and her divorced. After years of resentment, Bella could finally find an opportunity to vent her petty annoyance.
Bella could not help but be triumphant in front of Stella.
âI heard that Ms. Jewellâs mother passed away a while ago. I wasnât in Rivera at that time. I feel so sorry for not being there and offer my condolences. But, it looks like Ms.
Jewell had overcome the pain of losing her mother. Time truly heals.â
Darkness crossed Stellaâs eyes. Stellaâs mother had just been gone for more than a week, and to say she moved on was like a dagger through her heart.
âItâs really a pity, Ms. Young. How about kneeling for a few hours at grave number 174 at Northern Suburbs Cemetery to express your condolences? Letâs not be all talks. You should put it into action.
Who knows? Maybe my mom would be so happy that she thank you personally at night.â
The corner of Bellaâs mouth twitched. âHow could she say such insidious things with a straight face?
They are already divorced, but she still has a sharp tongue. Is this her way of finally letting loose after all those years of holding back?â
Bella forced a smile. âYou sure know how to joke.â She then turned the conversation to Trevor. âI heard Mr. Saun had just returned to Rivera a few months ago. Is this your first time at this restaurant? Iâm a regular, so Iâm quite familiar with their signature dishes. Plus, Iâm pretty close with the owners here. If you donât mind, we could share a table. I can introduce you to the local specialties.â
Trevor glazed at Bella indifferently. He was not familiar with her, but for the past month, they had been frequently âbumping intoâ each other. Elegant Media had no relations with Bella at all. So, she did put in quite the effort into frequently running into him. However, Trevor was aware of what Bella was up to.
Bellaâs contract with Mount Olive Entertainment was ending, and she was looking for a new company.
Bella was not a great actress, but she had big ambitions. Although Elegant Media was a new company, it was backed by the deep-pocketed Saun family.
Along with that, they were currently recruiting talents. If she signed with Elegant Media now, with her current accomplishments, the company would obviously give her the best resources. With that, it was sooner or later that she would grow in her career.
She created these âcasual encountersâ to leave Trevor with a good impression of her. She wanted Elegant Media to take the initiative to offer her an olive branch. However, it was too bad that she miscalculated.
Elegant Media had gotten Daniel Woods to lead their first series. Trevor was not planning to promote his artists through clout. Therefore, he would naturally not take in Bella, an artist who clout chased. Besides that, Stella did not seem to like Bella very much. With that in mind, Trevor replied, âI appreciate it. But, Iâm taking Ms. Jewell to meet my parents, and we prefer no outsiders present. I see that Mr. Kane is free. So, why donât you join him?â
