Chapter 814
Among all the actors and actresses Shea had met, very few of them actually cared about their fans. When she was
with the movie crew, she witnessed fans who traveled thousands of miles just to see their favorite actor. Even when
the weather was freezing cold, they would stand in line outside with their jackets on. The fans' faces would turn blue
and sometimes purple from the cold, but they would be more invested in their idols' actions. They would worry
about how the crew treated the celebrities and how long they had until filming ended to take pictures with them.
In reality, their favorite actors and actresses were enjoying themselves in a well-insulated room. They would even
use the weather as an excuse not to come out and take pictures. From most celebrities' points of view, fans were
not human beings and just strings of data. Thus, they did not care about their feelings.
"Did you know that the longer the fans wait, the higher the popularity and the stronger the ability to retain the

Stella was surprised. "I cant even be in the sun for too long. So what makes it different for them? This is torture. Ask
them to go home."
"Don't worry," replied Shea.
The cast and crew gathered at the scene at 11:00 a.m., and the ceremony officially began at 11:20 a.m.
After setting off the fireworks, Stella's first big movie began showing on the screen. The group was interviewed
when the opening ceremony was over. Then, Bella and Leighton's fans put bouquets forthem on the stage one by
one. Bella's supporters even made her a Winnie-the-Pooh-shaped bouquet of Blue Enchantresses, which looked
amazing. They knew that Bella's favorite color was blue, and her favorite cartoon character was Winnie the Pooh.
Stella was not impressed but rather disappointed that fans spend so much of their money and effort just to see
their idols smile.
Just as she was thinking about it, a 6ft mango-shaped bouquet made of champagne-colored roses was carried onto
the stage. It looked lifelike, with leaves and stems of rare green-colored roses.
Stella was trying to guess which one of the fans ordered such a bouquet when she saw the staff wrap a banner
around the mango-shaped roses, which read: [Congratulations on the successful launch of Motives for Murder,
starring Stella Jewell.]
Stella was speechless. She immediately knew who had prepared the giant mango. She looked toward the stage and
saw Keegan standing in the distance among the crowd. He wore a shirt with a pair of sunglasses and stood away
from the crowd. When he saw her looking over at him, the edges of his lips trembled slightly. He raised his hand
and waved.
The corners of Stella's eyes twitched as she saw him holding a sign to show his support. It was the same one her
fans held earlier. 'He must have asked them for it,' she thought.
Stella was not wrong. Keegan had noticed a few of Stella's fans standing outside as soon as he arrived. He
pretended to be casual and chatted them up, saying he was also a fan of Stella. He told them he was on the way to

work but decided to stop by and take a look. The fans were happy to hear that. One of them gave him her sign
while he gave the bouquet for her to carry up the stage in return.
The supporter agreed to the exchange and told Keegan to continue supporting Stella. She even added him to their
fan group.
But Stella knew nothing about any of this. While she looked at Keegan, a few other fans came to the stage to give
her flowers. She took the bouquets and thanked them with all her heart.
When the media saw the giant mango at the scene, they completely ignored the lead actor and went over to take
pictures of the bouquet.
Some even went to interview Stella.
Bella's face turned red with anger as things unfolded.
