Carter, however, was very talkative. He chatted for a long time with Keegan.
Lowe’s Corporate specialized in web development and could be considered one of the most advanced technologies in the country. They had many dealings with the Vinci Rivera Group.
The data processing system that the Vinci Rivera Group was equipped with was created by Lowe’s Corporate. It could be said that the two companies had a close partnership in their businesses.
Stella stood aside in boredom as she was uninterested in the topic of their conversation. She thought, ‘Keegan’s conversation might take a while. Should I leave?’
As she was thinking, Carter suddenly asked, “What’s keeping you busy these days, Mrs. Kane?”
Stella snapped back to reality. “Nothing much, apart from tending to the garden at home. I’m quite the idler.”
“I heard you took theater when you were in college, Mrs. Kane. Don’t you take acting gigs?” Suspicion rose in Stella’s heart. ‘Why would he ask about my acting career out of the blue?’ Stella sneaked a glance at Keegan, who did not seem to react at all.
Stella was unsure of why Carter asked about that. She replied with caution, “I only took plays back then. I stopped acting after I graduated.”

Carter smiled. “If so, can I ask you for a favor?”
“What favor?” Stella inquired.
“My wife’s team assigned her the task of getting an actor. Would you be willing to help her out?”
Stella was astonished. ‘What kind of help could the CSI need from me?’
“Why do you need an actor? If you don’t mind me asking.”
“Let me elaborate,” Lena said gently. “Our unit recently collaborated with the local TV station to produce a new legal show for law popularization purposes. We wanted to recreate some classic cases on TV to educate the public on some common laws, but we’re having trouble finding actors. The show is a nonprofit project, so a minimal budget was allocated for it. Professional actors are unwilling to take up the show because of the lower pay. That’s why our unit assigned each department to seek out actors.
‘So that’s why…’ Stella thought.
“I don’t personally know any actors, so Carter said he would help me find someone. I didn’t expect him to be referring to you, Mrs. Kane,”
Lena only came to the jewelry exhibition because Carter promised to find an actor for her. When she saw Stella just now, she had a hunch that Carter was referring to Stella, and it turned out to be true.
Stella looked too beautiful to be true. She had striking features and a slim yet curvy body type, unlike some actresses who would pursue thinness to look good on camera but looked frail in
person.
Stella had a healthy-looking figure, but her face was small. This was the reason why her beauty was no less than other actresses on camera, although she was around ten pounds heavier than them.
‘If Stella agrees to this, it would make our department look good. But, Stella is a rich housewife. She doesn’t need the money, and maybe she would want to keep a low profile,
given her identity.’ Lena did not have high hopes for Stella agreeing to this, so she did not go into much detail about the gig.
Stella, however, was intrigued.
This law popularization project might not be profitable, but it was for public education purposes and would help improve an actor’s professional image. The incident with Ibelia reminded Stella that prevention was always better than a cure.
After contemplating for a while, Stella asked, “Can you tell me more?”
Lena was surprised at Stella’s interest and went on to explain the details of the show.
The show was titled “Jurisdiction”. It was scheduled to air during lunchtime every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and it fell under the genre of legal drama.
The script was written based on real-life cases taken from the national criminal database, and the cases in the show were adaptations of interesting cases from recent years. The actors would recreate the cases according to the script, and after that, experts would dissect the case and explain the related laws and regulations.
At the same time, the show would be aired on the official account of the TV station on various short- form video-sharing platforms and was expected to reach a wide audience of netizens.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
