Chapter 633
Stella had only met Wendy once on set. It was only a brief meeting but she actually asked her out for tea?
Moreover…
After a brief survey of the private room, she noticed that they were the only occupants there. It seemed the other cast members didn’t receive her invitation.
Seeing Stella’s reaction, Wendy chuckled. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”
Stella shook her head. “I don’t mean that. I am just a little flattered … since you are a celebrated veteran, Mrs. Ford.”
Wendy was in no way a lesser woman when compared to Guinevere. In fact, she was more successful-she was the unbeatable queen of film, with no one else garnering that many domestic awards as she had in the twenties. Her popularity spread across the continent, where almost everyone had heard her name. She was considered a superstar who had influenced a few generations.
However, she was a person that chose to retire at the peak of her career.
People’s impression of her remained at her most glorious moment. So even after she had retired from the industry
for many years, many still knew her. Stella always felt that God had always favored Weston, bestowing him with a compelling face. Regardless, with parents like Wendy and Chris, it wasn’t uncommon that people like him to look more attractive than them.
Chris had a handsome face as well. As for Wendy, she was famous for her beauty in the entertainment industry. Such a combination was a sure-fire recipe for producing good-looking children.
Evidently, Weston inherited the best of them.
“You are Ella, right?” Wendy ordered a cup of rose tea for her. “Try this. It’s good for the skin.
“Thank you, Mrs. Ford.”
Now, the very mention of it made her sick. Stella did not think much and said subconsciously, “If you were to return to the big screen now, many people would surely still love you.”
Wendy was caught off guard and raised her brows self deprecatingly. “Return to the big screen? I can’t go back at my age.” After saying that, she ran her fingers through her hair. Although she had taken good care of her appearance, the inevitable signs of aging were clearly visible. She was fifty, after all, and no matter how beautiful she was, she would not be as vibrant as her younger days.
Stella siniled. “The entertainment industry should have more people like you. People regard youth as the only beauty standard nowadays. However, all ages have their
charms. When you were young, you led an entire generation. Why don’t you try once more?”
Although Wendy thought those words had a flattering connotation , she was still happy to hear them. “You are flattering me. But how can an old woman lead new trends?”

The pair drank tea and chatted casually about some work matters before going into the main topic. Wendy smiled and looked at her. She was very kind, but her words made Stella freeze. “Last night… you met Zachary, right?”
