Chapter 196
Stella also discovered that the director of Jurisdiction was a well-experienced producer. He did a similar
show for another TV channel more than ten years ago, and it was a big hit. A few years later, however,
due to changes in the TV channel and some business disputes, the show got canceled.
Until this day, the show was unforgettable in the minds of audiences. It was so popular that even now,
many content creators derive their videos from elements of the show.
With him on the show, even if the new show was a complete replica of his hit show back then, the views
and ratings would be more than decent.
Stella’s heart was racing with excitement. ‘It was the right choice to attend this jewelry exhibition. A work
opportunity came to me by itself!”
To avoid seeming overeager, she pretended to hesitate. “I am indeed interested, but I haven’t had an
acting gig all these years. I’m worried that I might hinder the filming progress.”

Stella glanced at Carter. His expression was strange, as if he had seen right through her. Before Stella
could analyze the situation, Carter continued, “You’re being too modest, Mrs. Kane. I’ve seen you acting,
and it was a good performance.
Stella was startled by his statement. “You’ve seen me acting?”
After a slight pause, Carter said, “You played Edmund in King Lear. I was in the audience during that
performance at Trinity Academy’s anniversary celebration.”
Her part in the play as Edmund was the reason why Stella was popular back in college. It was
considered her best work back then.
‘I didn’t expect someone to remember that performance after so many years,’ thought Stella. Stella
smiled at the ground and replied, “They say rest is rust, and I haven’t been on stage for years.”
Stella paused for a while, then she continued, “But, since you asked for this favor, Mr. Lowe, I’ll give it a
try.”
Keegan, who had been listening beside her the whole time, frowned. “You’re really going for it?”
Stella nodded. “I have nothing to do at home anyway. I could help a friend out and contribute to our
country’s public education. Shouldn’t you be proud of me?”
Keegan gave her a side glance. “As long as you don’t think it’s embarrassing.”
‘You’re the one that’s embarrassing!’ Stella thought.
Stella grinned and replied, “You’re the one who would be embarrassed. I have no shame.”
Keegan smirked at her self-awareness.
Stella had just finished exchanging contacts with Lena when the exhibition started.
The organizers hired a professional host for the opening speech. The Lowes had a few exhibits that
needed to be priced by Carter, so he left with Lena.
The host was a famous celebrity, and it was difficult to book him even with high pay. The fact that the
Moores were able to secure him as a host showed how grand the jewelry exhibition
was.

Stella was fascinated by the host when she heard Keegan’s voice ask, “Are you close with Carter?”
“Not really, but I owe his brother a favor.”
Stella knew what Keegan wanted to ask.
In Keegan’s point of view, Stella had no previous connections with Carter and Lena. So, it did not make
any sense why Stella was so eager to help them out when they asked.
Stella was not willing to let Keegan know why she had agreed to help. Instead, she boldly misled him for
another reason.
“Zane Lowe?’ Keegan frowned. “What favor?”
Stella pursed her lips. “When I got married to you, he helped me out.”
Years ago, when Stella married Keegan, he left her alone at the wedding, and everyone was waiting to
make fun of her. Dahlia, with the intention of keeping up appearances, instructed Stella to make rounds
and drink with the guests at every single table.
