The Big Shot’s Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy - Chapter 511

Chapter 511: Chapter 454: We will encounter this frequently in the future.
Sometime during the night, the sky had changed outside the window. Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a flash of lightning lit up the darkness, reflecting light into the room.

Stella Edwards leaned against the table, her fingers tightly gripping the edge, constantly applying force.

Her eyes were fixed on a spot, her chest heaving, as if she could only breathe with heavy gasps.

Alice Eugene saw her like this, a momentary viciousness in her eyes as if she had made a decision after some hesitation and struggle, “As long as Daisy Zane is alive, Henry Kirsten’s heart will never have room for anyone else.”

Stella Edwards looked up at her.

“Do you want to be someone’s substitute forever?” Alice continued, “Women should always fight for the things they like, especially for an outstanding man.”

Stella Edwards just looked at her.

“If I were you. I would replace that person.” Alice looked into her eyes, “Turn from a substitute into the only one.”

“Why are you telling me all this?” Stella Edwards asked, looking at her.

“Because, compared to Daisy Zane, I’d rather the person by Henry’s side be you.” Alice continued, “Besides, Daisy is already married. She’s not worthy of Henry. But Henry can’t forget her, so only if she dies, everything can be resolved.”

Stella Edwards stared at her for a while, then slowly lowered her gaze.

“If she’s alive, you’ll be a substitute for a lifetime,” Alice continued, “Only if she dies, will Henry’s eyes truly see you.”

Stella Edwards did not answer, her gaze downcast.

Alice glanced at her for a moment, fearing that saying too much would be counterproductive, and didn’t say anything more before leaving her room.

The room’s door opened and closed. Flash after flash of lightning outside the window, and the sound of thunder grew louder and louder.

Stella Edwards stood by the table for a while longer before her legs suddenly gave way, and she collapsed on the ground, covering her mouth as she started to cry.

It was the first time she had felt moved, the first time she had liked a man.

But this man only saw her as a replacement.

Stella Edwards did not sleep that night, and when she went out for breakfast the next morning, she deliberately wore heavy makeup to hide the fatigue on her face.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Henry Kirsten was already there.

Seeing her, he said to her, “Today’s makeup is a bit different.”

Stella Edwards forced a smile, “Yes, I didn’t sleep well. My complexion is a bit off.”

“Are you feeling upset?” When Henry noticed her earlier, he sensed that her mood was very low, as if something was on her mind.

Alice glanced at Stella Edwards.

Without looking at Alice, Stella Edwards answered Henry, “I had a fight with someone online last night.”

Henry chuckled, “How did you even get into a fight with someone online?”

Stella Edwards cut the sandwich in front of her with a knife and fork, lowering her gaze, “There has been a lot of criticism of Daisy Zane online lately, even saying she’s having an affair.”

Alice’s expression suddenly changed, and she glanced at Henry from the corner of her eye.

Henry looked at Stella Edwards as well.

Pretending not to see Henry’s gaze, Stella continued cutting her sandwich, her eyes dull, “Kevin Clark is outstanding, he has both family and good looks. Daisy Zane is so perfect with him, how could she have an affair? I don’t know what those netizens are thinking, I think there’s no one more suited for each other than the two of them…”

With a clatter, Henry’s knife and fork fell on the plate, making a crisp sound.

Alice and Stella were both startled.

Alice stood up directly, standing to one side.

Turning her head to look at Henry, Stella gathered all her courage to meet his eyes, trying her best to suppress her emotions other than doubt.

In Henry’s eyes, she saw disgust and a fleeting murderous intent, but it quickly returned to calm.

“Don’t ever let me hear the three words ‘Harton Clark’ again.”

After saying that, Henry got up and left the restaurant.

Stella Edwards watched his retreating figure, her pupils trembling.

Alice glanced at Stella Edwards again, the look in her eyes clearly saying, “See, I told you so.” Then she quickly followed Henry.

Stella Edwards watched them leave, Henry’s stern, angry voice just now echoing in her ears.

He had never spoken to her like that before.

All because of Daisy Zane, even a slight mention was not allowed.

She was the only one left in the restaurant, and although she ate her sandwich, it tasted like chewing wax – bland and tasteless.

Edward Kirsten stayed in M Continent for another two days and then left.

Stella Edwards returned to her home country the day after he left.

After returning, she put down her luggage at her residence, went to visit William Lane, and then went straight to the Lane Family from the hospital.

Stella Edwards was very familiar with the Lane Family, and Sophie Ortiz liked her very much. After she became a student, Sophie brought her to live in the Lane Family home for a long time, while others lived in the dormitory of the Dance Association.

It wasn’t until Stella Edwards had her own apartment in Imperial Capital that she moved out.

However, the Lane family always reserved a room for Stella Edwards.

Upon entering the Lane Family home, Stella Edwards had a very solid feeling like she was returning home, and her depressed mood improved a lot in the past few days.

However, as she walked to the garden in front of the villa, her good mood suddenly choked.

She saw Daisy Zane and the Lane Family’s Patriarch planting flowers together.

They were chatting and laughing while instructing the gardener to plant many new varieties of roses in the front garden.

Charlotte Lane was the first to notice Stella Edwards. She noticed someone was looking at them, so she looked back.

They were separated by a short distance, and their gazes met. Charlotte Lane felt the hostility from Stella Edwards.

Stella Edwards’ eyes flickered and dodged the moment Charlotte looked over.

Seeing that Charlotte Lane hadn’t moved, Old Master Lane followed her gaze.

Seeing Old Master Lane also looking at her, Stella Edwards immediately smiled and walked over: “Grandfather Lane, you’re back?”

Old Master Lane also smiled: “Yes, I’ve been back for a while. Are you here to see your teacher?”

“Yes.” Stella Edwards glanced at Charlotte Lane, “I just came back from Brother Roy’s place.”

“Go ahead,” Old Master Lane said, “Your teacher and the others are inside.”

“Alright.”

After Stella Edwards left, Charlotte Lane and Old Master Lane continued planting flowers.

By the time they finished planting flowers in the garden and went inside, Sophie Ortiz had been chatting with Stella Edwards for quite some time.

As soon as Sophie Ortiz saw Charlotte Lane, she said, “I believe you two should know each other.”

Sophie Ortiz had only communicated with Edward Monk about Stella Edwards’ movie and didn’t know much about Flynn Ninevara.

It was only later when she learned about Charlotte Lane, did she find out that Charlotte Lane was the screenwriter for Stella Edwards’ movie.

Charlotte Lane nodded her head.

Stella Edwards hadn’t had time to ask why “Daisy Zane” was here, so she politely said, “Brook God.”

Charlotte Lane looked at her: “Hello.”

Stella Edwards smiled, but there was always some awkwardness and reluctance in her smile: “Hello. I didn’t expect to see Brook God here.”

Sophie Ortiz smiled and said, “You’ll see her more often in the future.”

Stella Edwards looked confusedly at Sophie Ortiz.

Sophie Ortiz smiled and said, “I’ll tell you later.”

Then she turned to Charlotte Lane and said, “Lila, go upstairs and call Amelie. It’s past ten o’clock, and she still hasn’t gotten up. We’ve called her twice, and she hasn’t come out. If she sleeps any longer, her head will be flattened.”

Charlotte Lane raised an eyebrow, “Alright. I’ll go and check on her head.”

Charlotte Lane went upstairs to call Amelie Quentin.

Stella Edwards sat on the sofa with a baffled look on her face: “Lila?”

“Yes, Lila.” Sophie Ortiz tucked Stella Edwards’ stray hair behind her ear and treated her like family, saying, “She is Lila, your junior sister.”
