Chapter 311
Meanwhile, Bella’s manager, Wein, was quite worried about Bella participating in World Peace. After
Bella fell into the water last night, Keegan showed up and gave her a script. The script was not World
Peace, but a show called The Tea Merchant. This show was similar to The Palace, which was produced
by Daniel. It was also a show about a strong female lead. The Palace was about conspiracies in the
palace, while The Tea Merchant, as the name suggests, was about the story of a tea merchant.
In the story, the female lead went from being a maid to ward off bad luck for her husband, to the mistress
of the family and finally becoming the tea merchant of the generation. Truth be told, the character design
had even more emotional values than the female lead of The Palace. It was a show where the audience
could empathize with the female lead as they watched her grow throughout her journey. However, Bella
rejected it because she felt that the production team was from a small company, the scriptwriter was not
famous enough, and the director used to produce literary films. Despite the fact that the movies had
received some awards, they were always just good movies with a small audience.
Bella started off with clout, so she was accustomed to paying attention to the numbers. She wanted to
act in The Palace because Daniel had guaranteed statistics and quality. In contrast, The Tea Merchant
did not have a background. It was the typical award-winning type of show, which was not the type of
transformative work that she wanted.
The Tea Merchant was going to start filming at the end of the year. It would have to wait until next year’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsummertime for it to be released. Bella’s contract termination with Neon Nebula was imminent. In
addition to that, she did not have any impending work currently. If she accepted The Tea Merchant, her
screen time would be entirely open, aside from a few offers from variety shows. For Bella, an actress
who depends on clout, the inability to maintain exposure on the big screen was extremely dangerous.
That was because the entertainment industry was always full of newcomers. Bella would not have dared
to leave such a large gap on the big screen because the clout would have been heavily divided.

World Peace, however, was a different situation. The production team was comparable to The Palace.
Along with that, the work itself had fame. It would start filming this month and take three months to finish.
By the end of the year, it would be on air. The pay was also three times higher than The Tea Merchant.
Most importantly, the release date clashed with The Palace. When that time came, they could fight to
make an impact on ratings. Bella had faith in her prime-time ratings.
Daniel had the guts to reject her, so she would not let go of The Palace so easily. Therefore, she turned
down The Tea Merchant and chose World Peace. After finding out about Bella’s stunt, Wein was
indignant. Bella claimed that she wanted to change, but she was unwilling to give up her clout. She knew
about the controversy of World Peace, yet she still participated. She paid no attention to maintaining her
reputation.
At this point, there was nothing Wein could do. He bought hot searches and continued directing the war
of plagiarism toward the author so that Bella could escape the mess. The official lineup of World Peace
went on trending soon after some fans deliberately interrupted. All the trending searches were
compliments about the lineup. The fans would fight off any comments about the plagiarism, saying that
the show had nothing to do with the source material.
Just when Bella’s fans were celebrating, a legal letter came out of nowhere. The client of the legal letter
was Dusk Galaxy, the famous voice actor who abruptly withdrew from the internet a while ago. The
content of the legal letter stated that the client, a victim of cyberbullying, had developed depression and
posted the medical record. They now demanded several accounts to delete their hate comment and
publicly apologize.
Soon a few marketing media found out that the few accounts mentioned in the legal letter were Bella’s
fans. However, the owner of the accounts jumped out and denied that they were Bella’s fans. After
deleting their comment, they decisively terminated their accounts. Even so, Bella’s Facebook account
was flooded with netizens who were denouncing her.

In contrast to Bella, who was now anxious, Stella was rather calm and relaxed. Originally, the legal letter
was a deliberate act to warn others. The accounts they put out were not the mastermind, but all these
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaccounts acted based on a given order. And, it only showed one thing; they have an organization behind
them. Whether Bella was involved or not, her sin was that she indulged her fans. Therefore, she was not
innocent. This gift should be able to keep her down for some time.
Inside the Vinci Rivera’Group building, Aldor entered Keegan’s office once he saw the people from R & D
department leaving. “Mr. Kane, I think there’s something you should look at.”
“What?” Keegan did not look up, as he thought it was work-related.
Aldor continued, “A few days ago, you instructed me to cut out the cruise ship surveillance. I wanted to
delete it, but out of curiosity, I took a look at it,” Aldor paused and softly said, “Ms. Young looked like she
was pulling Mrs. Kane down with her when she jumped into the water. Mrs. Kane couldn’t break free, so
she kicked her down.”
Keegan stopped and took the phone handed over by Aldor. The video was blurry, yet one still could see
the two’s reactions. Well, instead of saying that Stella kicked Bella on purpose, it was better to say that
she was defending herself. She had to kick Bella away, or else Bella would not be the only person who
had fallen into the water that day.
“And, one more thing…” Aldor hesitated before he explained, “That night, when you and Mrs. Kane went
to Mr. Lowe’s appointment, Ms. Young’s assistant contacted me. They told me Bella was hurt, and they
wanted you to come over. But, you were arguing with Mrs. Kane at that moment, so I did not mention it. I
was afraid that something had happened to Ms. Young, so I secretly sent someone to check on her. It
turned out that Ms. Young wasn’t injured or sick.” Kedah has Southeast Asia's oldest civilisation and archaeologists… Sponsored: CNA
