The script did not go that way.
Bella was simply taking out her frustrations on Camille to get back at Dustin.
Camille’s eyes welled up with tears, and Bella was already raising her hand for another slap.
Before the slap could land, Dustin caught Bella’s hand,
“How dare you, Dustin Fox? This filming studio is under the protection of the Verdant Gang’s Harold Grant!” Bella shouted.
The Verdant Gang was a notorious organization in the southern region of Lovellia.
It was bigger and more powerful than Rivenesco’s own Serpentine Gang.
The Verdant Gang’s Harold Grant was a well–known person in the underworld. His name had influence in both legal and underground circles.
Bella thought that this would scare Dustin. However, he seemed unfazed by it.
“Come here, Camille,” he said.
“Dustin, I…” Camille said softly.
“Bella slapped you, and now, I want you to slap her back!” The words stunned everyone on the scene.
“Does she dare?” Bella snickered. She looked at Dustin mockingly. “She’s just an extra. She doesn’t have the guts. If she does that, she’ll never work in this industry again!”

Camille waved a hand to dismiss it.
“Dustin, I don’t need to… I’m fine…” she said.
“If you don’t do it, I’ll do it for you!” Dustin’s face was indifferent.
“You wouldn’t dare!” Bella said scornfully.
There was a loud smack that made the whole studio go quiet.
Dustin’s slap landed brutally on Bella’s cheek and astounded everyone.
Bella was a superstar. Furthermore, a lot of influential people had invested in her career. Even big directors had to act humbly before her. No one dared to offend her.
Yet, Dustin showed up out of nowhere and slapped Bella in the face!
He was undeniably bold.
Bella froze. It took a long moment for her to gain her composure.
Dustin had dared to slap her. That piece of trash had dared to raise a hand on her!
Her face stung so much that she snapped back to the present.
Her face turned sinister.
“You want to die, Dustin?” she roared.
“You slapped Camille, so I slapped you back. That’s only fair,” Dustin said softly.
Bella was even more furious.
“I’m the lead actress here, while she’s just an extra who plays a maid. How dare you insult me by comparing me to her?” Bella said arrogantly.
Camille lowered her head in shame at these words.
In the entertainment industry, small actors who were only extras did not have rights.
Dustin’s face turned stony.
“Bella Wyatt, don’t forget that you were once an extra who had no voice!” he said coldly.
Bella’s face stiffened.
“Even though I used to be an extra, I moved up the ladder with my own efforts and hard work. This girl can’t compare to me! Who does she think she is?” Bella laughed mockingly.
Dustin frowned. At the same time, he could not help but snicker.
Bella’s efforts and hard work? What a joke!
Did Bella really think that she achieved all that by relying on herself?
There was no way Bella could have gotten to where she was today if it had not been for Dustin helping her out. He only did that because he had seen how much she had suffered as an extra in small shows.
“Do you really think you became famous because of your own hard work, Bella Wyatt?” Dustin asked. “If I hadn’t pulled some strings for you, you would still be an extra to this day!”
When she heard that, Bella’s face twisted in disdain.
“Are you kidding me right now, Dustin?” Bella guffawed.
“You pulled strings? What a joke! Who do you think you are? You’re a useless piece of trash who had to rely on the Wyatt family to survive. How could you have done anything for me? This is so funny!
“I am a star today because of my own efforts! I didn’t rely on anyone else!”
Dustin’s eyes narrowed. A cold chill settled deep in his heart.
The Wyatt sisters were all the same. They were all haughty and arrogant, and they looked down on
everyone.
“Mark my words, Bella Wyatt… Your celebrity career ends here,” Dustin said firmly. Then, he looked at Camille. “She will be the one to replace you. She will become a rising star.”
Camille and Simone both froze when they heard that.
They could not believe what Dustin had just said. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
