Chapter 176

He was right in the middle of the crowd, and he stood out like a rose among the thorns.

The entertainment industry was one that put influence and power above everything else. Everyone who
looked expressionless and bored earlier now buzzed busily around Weston, sucking up and trying to
please him.

Stella looked on at the tall, handsome man in a black trench coat. His broad shoulders tapered to his
lean waist, and his good figure certainly drew everyone’s attention.

Even the male celebrities on set could not compare.

His look and figure met the highest standard in the industry and was considered one of the finest men
in the country. Possessing a killer aura capable of bringing down the crowd in seconds, his every move
gave credence to the authority and power he wielded as a leader.

Stella looked away, but could still feel his hot, searing gaze on her.

Ruby was rendered speechless as she tugged Stella’s sleeve. “Ms. Steele, that man is so handsome!”

Stella remained quiet and held Ruby’s hand. “Let’s quickly head home.”

“But I want to get to know that man!” Ruby hugged her legs and swung around. He’s so handsome! Is
he a celebrity? Why have I never seen him before?’

Her father, a prominent entertainment and business circle magnate himself, also knew Weston. Anyone
who paid the slightest attention to the news would know about his presence.



However, Ruby was at the age where she’d be more interested in younger, fresher lads in the
entertainment circle and, owing to that, was oblivious to all other news. Weston seldom appeared in
entertainment news, and even when his name appeared with Guinevere’s on public forums, he would
deliberately take it down.

Thus, it made sense Ruby did not know about him.

Stella crouched down and tried to negotiate. “Why don’t we come over again next time?”

In a hurry to escape the scene, she did not know what Weston was planning on doing.



She thought that he would, at most, blow his top when she arrived home-she did not expect him to
come here for her!

There were so many people around that he probably wouldn’t do anything that would cross the line.
What’s more, with Guinevere as the female lead of this movie, many people on set knew her. Wasn’t he
afraid that Guinevere would find out?

Just as a million thoughts were crossing her mind, Stella felt a shadow walking toward her

The steady footsteps hammered away at her heart.

She felt ever more tensed with every step he took

She thought that no matter what, Weston would never speak to her in such a situation

Yet, the next second, a low voice sounded from above her.



“What are you doing crouching down here?” Stella clenched her fists and her face went pale. But she
refused to turn to him. Ruby was totally oblivious to the change in Stella’s face. Instead, she hugged
Stella’s neck and with a flushed face, exclaimed, “Ms. Steele, I think he’s talking to you!” Stella
snapped back to attention and shot her a weak smile. She stood up and tried her best to keep her
composure, “Mr. Ford, what are you doing here?”

She tried to look calm and distant from him, to which he narrowed his eyes in displeasure. He let out a
chuckle but did not expose her act. “I just came to take a look.”

Everyone crowded around him and paid special attention, fearful of upsetting him in any way.

“Mr. Ford, this is the young actress who reported on set today. The other is her dance teacher,”
someone from the side reported to Weston.

His gaze landed on Stella before looking away, brows raised. “Is that so? Do you mean to say that the
crew lacks actors so badly it had to drag a dance teacher to an audition?
