'Why didn't I tell you?' Likely because doing so would lead to the situation she found herself in now: a barrage of questions. Wyneth gazed out the window, her voice barely above a whisper. "I wanted to make my own decisions."Her soft-spoken words sent a pang through Bruce's heart. He pursed his lips, ultimately managing to respond. "I know you're capable of making your own decisions, but the entertainment industry is a vast whirlpool. Do you even know what you'll be facing in the future? What if the manager you've chosen isn't reliable? What if the company isn't reliable?""He's pretty reliable," Wyneth replied.She remembered the day she had a few drinks; some memories were fragmented, but some were clear. She remembered overhearing a conversation between Shaun and Hayden in the elevator. Given Hayden's status, Shaun could have chosen not to speak, but he did, and he even waited for her in his car outside the hotel the next day."Who exactly is it?" Bruce pressed."Shaun."At
The entire reason for Bruce's visit was his inability to shake off his concerns for Wyneth. When he learned she had signed with Shaun, he felt somewhat relieved. Their families had been adversaries for many years, yet neither had resorted to shady tactics. It wasn't just Bruce and Luke, their entire teams wouldn't stoop to such underhanded measures. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with being under Shaun's wing."Whatever you need, just let me know," Bruce had initially wanted to say that even though he did not rule the entertainment industry, he could still provide Wyneth with whatever resources she needed.But considering her new-found independent nature, he swallowed his words and instead asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"Wyneth shook her head. "I had a quick lunch on the plane.""Let's go. I'll take you to dinner."Upon hearing this, Gordon chimed in at an inconvenient moment. "Uh... Bruce, don't forget about the engagement you postponed."The commitment was initially set f
No sooner had Wyneth returned to the set than Yoyo came looking for her. The mystery in her eyes was a dead giveaway that she was here for some juicy gossip. Sure enough, as soon as Yoyo entered, she started yapping excitedly."I saw a social media post saying Gigi went to Acrofburg to visit Mr. Hamilton Sr. The post suggested it's like meeting the parents, a way to earn brownie points. They're hinting that a wedding might be in the works."Wyneth had to marvel at the storytelling ability and wild imagination of social media. Keeping a poker face, she began unpacking her suitcase, letting Yoyo prattle on beside her."Out of all the beauties in the entertainment industry, why did Mr. Hamilton choose Gigi? I don't know why, but Gigi just seems like bad news," Yoyo continued, not bothering whether Wyneth was responding. "Mandy was awful in her role; she should've been fired a long time ago. Without her powerful backers, would she still be here? When she left, all she had to do was play
"Actually, you're the only one whose promotional photos haven't been shot yet. Everyone else had theirs done before, but because we changed the actress, we need to make up for it now. The crew had some strong feelings about the switch initially, but the director noticed it's been quieting down these days, so he decided it was time to catch up on the promotional photos," explained one of the crew members.Wyneth nodded, acknowledging the situation.Shaun studied Wyneth's face carefully, then raised his eyes to ask, "How many outfits will she be shooting in today?""Roughly two.""Sounds good. Two outfits won't take too much time."The two outfits chosen for Lucienne's promotional shoot were the same color. Since the character had a distinct preference for red, the crew had not wasted any effort on the color of her costumes, focusing more on the style. The first was a layered red tulle skirt, with a crossover collar on the upper half, cinched at the waist and flared at the bottom. A
[I'm cracking up. Do we seriously have people thinking Gigi is jealous of someone else's beauty? Please, she's drop-dead gorgeous herself, alright? People only get jealous when they lack something. Why would she be envious when she's got it?][These promotional photos are usually meticulously edited over and over, add make-up to the mix, and even an ugly duckling can turn into a swan, and you're praising this?][Hmm, some people not only replace others, but now even hire paid trolls to belittle their seniors' beauty. Isn't that a bit too desperate for quick success?]In the beginning, the comments below the official social media post were from the audience following the show. But because the drama had not started airing, most of the followers were fans of the male and female leads, and a few were fans of the supporting actors. Those who were genuinely interested in the show because of its own merits were pitifully few.Initially, Gigi's fans were indeed pleasantly surprised when th
"What fire?"In the middle of the night, a video quietly crawled its way up the trending list. The hot topic was titled Gigi Bullied in Her New Role. As soon as Gigi's name appeared, the topic immediately gained traction. After all, she was currently the hot topic for all the online spectators, blessed with a powerful family background, and possibly being the woman of a future entertainment mogul. With such a strong backing, it was surprising that she was facing such bullying in her new role. Internet users flocked to the scene, and upon clicking, a video was presented.The video was from the day of the rehearsal, albeit edited and clipped, transforming the content into a sequence where the director asked Gigi to support Wyneth in a rehearsal. Consequently, Gigi, considerate as ever, went along with the request, only for Wyneth to audaciously overshadow her. The video even included a clip of Gigi appearing unwell. The entire edited video gave the impression of Gigi's understanding na
"A secondary Facebook account?" Wyneth felt a touch of confusion when she heard this.Yoyo stormed into her room without hesitation, firmly closing the door behind her before saying with clear seriousness, "Someone's stirred up a video claiming you're using your connections to bully Gigi. Gigi's fans are livid. They've exposed your alternate account.""Go on Facebook, now."'Facebook?' Wyneth went back to retrieve her phone and logged into her Facebook account. She had not used this app much after downloading it. She mainly just followed Amelia, with the two of them quietly sharing bits and pieces of their everyday lives. She had not anticipated that her alternate account could be exposed. The usual notifications were primarily from Amelia, along with a few minor followers who had taken notice of her day-to-day posts, typically amounting to just a handful of comments. But now, her comments, mentions, and followers were over a thousand. Wyneth could not resist an arched eyebrow as he
Shaun did not know how to respond.He had called to console Wyneth. After learning about the situation, he had read through the comments, filled with some of the nastiest remarks imaginable. The most offensive and common speculation being that she had a sugar daddy. On top of that, they accused her of buying her way into the industry, insinuating she was involved in shady dealings. Shaun immediately called to provide comfort, but surprisingly found her consoling him.'Did I hear that right?'"These comments don't mean anything to me," she replied calmly. She remembered when Finn had first entered the industry, and the barrage of negative comments he had received. There were rabid fans, paid trolls, and professional critics. In short, she realized that no one in the entertainment industry can avoid negative press, unless they are so unknown that they don't matter. If no one knows you, no one will bother to criticize you.Shaun said, "The trending topic is suspicious. But don't worry
