Chapter 1084
The rivalry scene between Georgia and Lexi happened after Georgia found a yellow hairpin at her boyfriend's place,
Ralph's residence. Although Ralph had told her that the hair accessory was used as compensation because the
store ran out of change when he bought a pack of cigarettes, Georgia did not buy it.
The hairpin had gone viral at the time, and the prices had shot up. In Georgia's opinion, there was no way the seller
would use it as a change due to the high demand, especially when it was a male customer.
So, Georgia paid attention to her female schoolmates, who liked using hair accessories. She then heard from
someone that Lexi had an identical yellow hairpin that went missing a week ago. Georgia was driven to take her
revenge. She did not necessarily like Ralph but hated it when other people went after what she owned, especially
when it was the person who one-upped her in dance class-Lexi.
After one of their classes together, Georgia went up to Lexi and asked her about the hairpin. Naturally, Lexi denied

fell down the stairs. There were sheets of glass stacked on the stairs, which shattered the minute she fell onto
them, cutting her arm.
Lexi was sent to the hospital, and Georgia got a warning from the school. Everyone in school knew about the
incident, and she lost her chance to become an exchange student. Her parents also reprimanded her. The feud
between her and Lexi also grew deeper because of this. Therefore, multiple people pointed to Georgia as the
perpetrator when Lexi was poisoned.
The scene Stella and Bella were going to shoot today was the one on the staircase. They had no problem with their
lines but had to work on Bella rolling down the stairs. The shot required the cooperation of the two actors. Stella
had to do a pushing action, while Bella was to control her direction as she fell. At the same time, she had to poke
the blood bag attached to her sleeve.
This scene required the actresses to know how to control their bodies. The film crew would usually take close-ups
during a scene like this and have stunt doubles roll down the stairs.
Bella, who secretly used eyedrops during crying scenes, always asked for doubles to stand in for her. However, it
was different this time. When the director explained the scene to the actors, Bella said, "Mr. Winfield, I don't think I
need a stunt double for this part."
Stella was a little shocked when she heard that, but Stuart was even more surprised. It was generally good when
actors wanted to do their own stunts, but this shot posed a certain danger. Stuart considered Bella's fame and said,
"There's a level of difficulty to this stunt. It's more complex than you think. Rolling off from the camera is easy when
you have no experience with this. There's no way you can do this in one or two takes. I think it's better to have the
stunt double do it."
"Mr. Winfield, this movie will be on the big screen. It could be obvious that it isn't me in the shot if we use a stunt
double. This is my first time on the big screen. I don't want to be criticized for being unable to do my stunts. We can
do more takes if I can't do the shot in one or two takes. I'm sure I can do it. Stunt doubles were not born to become
stunt doubles. They require tons of practice and experience to get to where they are. If they can do it, then I can do
it too. I want to present my best to the audience."

Stuart was pleased to hear such inspirational words from the young actor's mouth. Fans visiting the set were also
proud of Bella for not wanting a stunt double. They immediately wrote tons of posts about the incident to boost
their idol's image with titles like: [Bella Refused to Use Stunt Doubles ], [Bella Does Her Own Stunts], and [The Voice
for Stunt Doubles].
Stella was the only one who felt Bella's behavior was abnormal. Bella had brought in her stunt double. It was said
that the substitute was Bella's dedicated understudy. She had become a stand-in for Bella in several of the dance
scenes in the movie. It was weird that the actor wanted to do the dangerous stunt when she asked her double to
help in simple dance scenes.
Stella did not believe that Bella would gain a conscience that quickly, so she kept an eye out for her. After
repeatedly confirming that Bella wanted to do the scene, Stuart asked the stunt director to come over and show
the two actors how to get the perfect shot. Filming began once they finished the briefing.
