Guinevere had gotten used to being admired wherever she went.
She raised her neck with the grace of a white swan and walked to her partner. Everyone
watched her with admiring eyes.
However, a great regret surged in her heart at that moment–she wished Weston was
here. Unfortunately, he had never liked to attend events like this. He
would never accompany her to such events.
She put her hand on her partner’s arm and slowly entered the dance floor. The soft music started to pla
y.
Bradley told Stella and Angelina, “If you two want to dance, you can invite anyone to dance with you. I‘
m sure there are plenty of gentlemen here.”
Angelina asked reflexively, “What about you, Mr. Lane?”
Bradley said, “Well, I‘m going to invite the producer to dance.”
Guinevere had introduced Bradley to a top-tier producer in the
circle. Although he had a good time talking to her, he did not want to limit himself to her. He also
enjoyed chatting with another producer from before.
After Bradley left, another male actor in the cast came over and invited Angelina for a dance. “Would
you dance with me?”
“Of course.” Angelina put her hand in his palm.
Stella smiled and watched them leave. She did not realize
something was wrong until everyone entered the dance floor .
Perhaps no one dared to invite her to dance because of the previous farce.
Many people turned their gaze to her but hesitated. None of them took the first step.
Although she had cleared her name from Joyce‘s accusation, many remembered her face. It was under
standable for them to be apprehensive. Besides, no one would want
to be the center of attention at such a time.
Stella was happy and did not mind it. It was just a dance, so she did not care much.
However, when she was going to get some dessert while
holding champagne in her hand, she heard someone next to her say, “The other woman was deliberate
ly throwing dirt at her, but I heard she‘s a troublemaker in the cast...”
“Really? Ella?”
“It‘s true. There‘s no smoke without fire. There must be a reason behind her bad reputation. That mean
s she‘s a shameless person!”
“Anyway, I‘ve heard that Ms. Cohen doesn‘t seem to like her very much…”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah. Earlier, someone heard them quarrel in the restroom ...”
“Oh, my God! Who is she? An insignificant actress like her actually dares to challenge Ms. Cohen...”
“Yeah. She must have a strong man supporting her. Otherwise, how can she be so arrogant in
front of Ms. Cohen?”
Sometimes, words could be scary. Just a little detail in the rumor could be magnified as the conclusion.
Stella closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Since she wanted to join the entertainment industry, she should have known that this was only normal.
It was human nature to worship the strong and bully the weak. She did not have Guinevere‘s status or c
enemies, it only made sense for most to stand by Guinevere‘s side.
“Did she forget to bring her partner over?”
“I don‘t know… Doesn‘t she know it‘s embarrassing to be left out on the dance floor?”
“Maybe a minor actress like her doesn‘t know the rules...”
“That‘s not necessarily true. Her friend was invited to dance. She‘s the only one left alone. If I were her,
