Chapter 951

“Who else has the power to cause Yolanda’s downfall other than Keegan? She was only playing around with you, yet you wanted her dead. Are you not scared that she’ll turn into a ghost to haunt you in your dreams and take your life in exchange?!” Bella sneered.

Stella was a little confused. She did not understand what Bella meant when she said that Yolanda was just fooling around with her. Still, it did not prevent her from being irritated. She rolled up her script and put it aside as she stood up and grabbed Bella by the collar. Looking down at her from above, Stella said in a deep voice, “Did you turn your embarrassment from being rejected to anger? Even the haters on the internet don’t turn as quickly as you. Didn’t Keegan provide you with tons of resources over the years? You wouldn’t be where you are today if it weren’t for him.”

“There’s an official report from the police regarding Yolanda’s case. You can avenge your bestie by going to the authorities if you have a problem with that. But, if you’re here to bark and accuse Keegan of something, I’ll make sure that you’ll be the next one to get kicked out of the crew,’ Stella leaned closer to Bella’s ears and said. The look in her eyes was sinister and vicious, which caused Bella’s face to turn pale.

At that moment, a male voice sounded from outside the set. “Stella.’

Stella paused, let go of her hand, and immediately put on a harmless expression. “Marshall? Why are you here?” she asked in surprise.

Marshall was carrying a bag as he slowly walked toward Stella. He was wearing a brown suit with a white shirt inside, fully buttoned up as usual. His outfit made him look refined and hard to resist.

“I’m here to visit the set,” said Marshall, as he walked up to Stella. He saw Bella, who looked ghastly, and nodded politely to greet her. “Good to see you, Ms. Young.” As he said that, he lifted the bag in his hand and asked,” Would you like a cup of coffee?”

Bella’s expression changed when she heard the word “coffee”. She had been afraid of accepting drinks from others after the allergic reaction she had, especially since Marshall was the one who gave her the cup of coffee the last time. “No, thanks,” said Bella with a sullen look. She hurriedly walked away after saying that.

Marshall withdrew his gaze and handed Stella some coffee. “What time does work end for you?’

“Maybe five or six o’clock. Why?”

Marshall smiled and said, “One of my clients invited me to his wedding tonight. He wanted to introduce me to someone, but I told him I was already seeing someone. He didn’t believe me and insisted that I bring my partner to the wedding to show him I was telling the truth. Since I’ve already lied, I might as well continue the act.” He paused, looked at Stella, and asked in a warm tone, “Can you please do me a favor and accompany me to this wedding and help me put on a show?’

Stella was shocked. ‘Why would you tell him that? Shouldn’t you be excited since he would introduce you to someone?!’

“He’s going to introduce me to one of his cousins. I’ve met the girl before,’ Marshall lowered his eyes and said.

“You’re afraid of rejecting her because you don’t feel the same, so you lied about having a girlfriend?”

Stella suddenly realized.

Marshall smiled and nodded. ‘We would casually greet each other whenever we meet. If I rejected her in front of her face, things would be awkward the next time I see her.”

“But, you shouldn’t have lied about being in a relationship. People are going to find out about the truth one day.’

“I’m taking one step at a time,” Marshall uttered. ’Can you please do me this favor?”

Stella laughed dryly and said, “I want to, but I’m scared that people will recognize me and expose your secret. Don’t you have tons of female colleagues? Maybe you can ask them for help.’

“The client I talked about has been to the company multiple times and has met all of my female colleagues,” said Marshall.
