Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton Chapter 127
It was still early, and the hotel's service was quick, bringing out the dishes each person had ordered in no time. The dishes were set near Shaun and Yoyo, not in between Wyneth and Luke as she had initially planned.When each person's order was served, Wyneth was taken aback to find that hers was the most substantial. Yoyo was dieting, so she had opted for a light garden salad. Shaun and Franklin had each gone for a modest oatmeal and an omelet, respectively, and Luke, ever the minimalist, had just a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Only Wyneth, who had selected several items, all high in calories.As the food arrived, Yoyo's gaze could not resist drifting toward the scrumptious scrambled eggs and the flaky croissant on Wyneth's plate, her face betraying her longing."Wyneth, don't you need to watch your weight?" Yoyo questioned.At Yoyo's question, Wyneth remembered that she was an actress now and she should be more conscious about her food intake. A nervous twitch graced the corner

After breakfast, Wyneth and Yoyo headed back to the set, where they bumped into Gigi, who was preparing to film her scenes. Upon their meeting, a momentary snarl flashed across Gigi's face but disappeared quickly.With many other actors present, she approached Wyneth, holding the hem of her skirt, and asked gently, "Wyneth, I saw that trending topic, no clue who started it. Some of my fans said some unpleasant things to you. Are you okay?"Her face was a mask of concern as she spoke.Wyneth was unfazed, but Yoyo wanted to gag at Gigi's words.'Has Gigi always been this fake? It's obvious she's the one who started the whole thing, and now she's pretending to care?'Before Wyneth could reply, Gigi continued, her voice soft. "I've already explained it on Facebook."Upon hearing this, Yoyo quickly took out her phone and saw that Gigi had indeed made a post on Facebook earlier.Gigi: [There's a bit of a misunderstanding about the video. Ms. Walford is a talented actress. Let's focus

Poor Gigi. If she had known she would be so skillfully manipulated by Wyneth, she would not have spoken those words, certainly not before an audience. However, life offered no second chances."What a rush!" Yoyo hugged Wyneth's arm tightly. "You were amazing, Wyneth." Having said that, she pulled out her phone and opened Facebook. "This account of yours, are you planning to keep it? Or will you create another one and keep this one as a backup?"This was a question Wyneth had pondered on before. "Now that I've been discovered, shouldn't I just keep using this account?""Do you have your manager's approval?"That was a point she needed to discuss with Shaun. In the afternoon, after wrapping up her scenes for the day, Shaun brought over the script from the neighboring project, Cessation."The role is promising. Though small, it's crucial. Women's roles in Cessation are sparse, but if you play this well, it could turn into a major highlight," Shaun said, handing Wyneth the script.Wy

Wyneth was speechless for a moment. True enough, the character Aurelia was depicted as a matchless beauty, an enchantress from whom no man could escape. The screenwriter's fondness for this character was clear, crafting her as a tragic heroine of both beauty and strength. She was skilled in combat, cunning, stunningly beautiful, and a force to be reckoned with, even though she ultimately met a tragic end."What do you think?" Shaun asked her.Wyneth closed the script and could not help but laugh. "When will I get a role where I don't have to die?"Shaun laughed at her remark. "Next time, I promise to find you a role where you live till the end."Once Wyneth was familiar with the script, Shaun took her directly to the adjacent set of Cessation. Matthew did not mind; Shaun had a reputation for cultivating talent in the industry, and he never needed to worry about his artists' dedication to the craft. Wyneth's character, Lucienne, was a tertiary lead, so her supervision was quite lax.

In truth, it had been a long time since Shaun had last taken on any newcomers. He felt that the current lot trying to make it big in the entertainment world were just too impatient and wanted immediate fame, popularity, and a vast following despite being unwilling to truly hone their acting skills, and thus lacking the prowess needed to stay afloat in the industry. So after Shaun had finally signed a new talent after all these years, Luke had been curious indeed to see what was so special about her. He had read the script countless times already, specifically the parts featuring interactions between the main character and Aurelia, enough to recite the lines backward.This scene was designed to set hearts racing. Maximus, the leading man, had a couple of drinks, and Aurelia, aiming to seduce him, deliberately fell into his arms and flirted with him. Despite Maximus acting aloof, pushing her away harshly, the day's script subtly added a scene where Maximus witnessed her taking a cold sh

In her arms, he expected the girl to go pale with fear, yet she softly leaned into him, her red lips close to his ear. "Even if I were to die, it'd be in your arms," she said in a voice rich with allure.Luke's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly."OK, that's good!" Franklin's voice snapped them back to reality.Before Luke could react, Wyneth, the woman in his arms, rose, her disheveled hair neatly put back, looking as though the enchantress from before was someone else entirely.Seeing him still seated, Wyneth looked over."Do you need a hand getting up?""No need," Luke replied, pushing himself up off the floor without any hint of emotion.Franklin, lacking any sense of propriety, rushed over to Wyneth."You're it! The role of Aurelia is yours, Wyneth. Ready to sign the contract now?""Huh? Sign now? Don't we need more auditions?" Wyneth asked."No need. Your performance was excellent, what's the point in having more auditions? Right, Luke?"Luke, however, wa

"Aren't you used to being a manager by now?""Sure am.""So why are you getting so worked up seeing all these negative comments?"Shaun was at a loss for words. He paused for a moment before confessing, "There's a reason I'm agitated.""Oh?""Among the artists I manage, you're the only one who's ever been targeted with this sort of hate immediately upon entering the industry."Wyneth fell silent. A few seconds later, she switched off her screen, leaning back into her seat and closing her eyes.Shaun went on, "Are you truly a newcomer? Or a young girl, perhaps? How come you don't react at all to all this negativity?"At his words, Wyneth opened her beautiful eyes, luminous as the moon. "I just think these comments don't really matter to me, so I don't pay them any mind."Reacting almost instinctively, Shaun asked, "So, what matters to you then? What do you care about?"Turning her gaze to him, Wyneth responded. "I don't know.""You don't know?""Mmm, I don't."When she was

"What did you say?"Those words ignited Gigi's fury. Her hand whipped out in a violent arc, a hard slap aimed at her assistant's face."Are you blaming me? Are you suggesting I shouldn't have said what I did?"Even though this was not her first time being hit, the assistant let out a startled scream before covering her face, tears streaming down as she sobbed."Gigi, I didn't mean it like that.""Then what did you mean? I haven't even settled my score with you yet. Shouldn't you know enough to stop me when I'm about to say something I shouldn't? Why didn't you refuse her for me when she asked for that Facebook post? Am I paying you to assist me or to call the shots?"As she spoke, Gigi's rage intensified. She grabbed a hairbrush nearby, aiming to throw it at her assistant who, frightened, attempted to dodge. But she slipped and crashed into the vanity table. In an instant, makeup products clattered to the floor, the loud noise drawing attention."What's going on?""What happene

"I heard," Hayden sighed, thinking she might tell him not to touch her."What do you think?" Wyneth asked."Me?" A small smile formed on Hayden's lips as he gently kissed her. "It's whatever you want."Wyneth's eyes sparkled. "So, you'll listen to me?"Hayden hesitated. "Except...""What?" Wyneth's tone shifted to annoyance. "You aren't backing out, right? You just said it's up to me.""It's not that I'm backing out," Hayden said, "I just have one condition. I'll listen to you any other time, but there's one thing I can't do.""What thing?" Wyneth asked.Hayden leaned in and whispered in her ear. Wyneth's face turned a shade of pink, and she pushed him away, gasping."You're such a creep!" she exclaimed.Hayden took her wrist, drawing her close and kissed her earlobe. "What's the matter? Isn't this okay for us? Don't you think so?" As he kissed her, he began to unbutton her collar. His voice was low and smooth. "Just listen to me this one time. For everything else, whatever y

On the ride home from the hotel, tears rolled down Wyneth's cheeks nonstop. This time, though, she was not alone by the car window. She was nestled in Hayden's arms. He wiped away each tear, comforting her all the way."Don't cry. It's just a mix-up, okay? He said he's fine and will be around for a long time," Hayden whispered.Despite his soothing words, Wyneth's tears did not cease. Seeing this, Hayden, filled with concern, gently asked, "Is this not what you wanted?"Confused, Wyneth looked up. "What are you talking about? I'm beyond happy he's alive."Hayden smiled, gently wiping her eyes. "Then why are you still crying?""I'm crying because..." Wyneth bit her lower lip, with Hector's words echoing in her mind.She had always been upset, believing her father had not wanted her years ago. But just as she was about to leave, Cindy pulled her aside. "Wyneth," her mother said gently, "your dad did want you. When I divorced him, I had just one demand.""What was it?""I wanted o

Everyone was silent. Just before entering the private dining room, Wyneth blurted out, "Is he really dying?" Hearing this, Andrew's steps halted. Before he could answer, she added, "How long does he have? Why didn't anyone say anything before?"Andrew sighed and turned around. "Is that why you're here?" Wyneth pursed her lips. A wave of uncertainty washed over Andrew. 'This mom and daughter,' he thought, 'they're here because they got it all wrong. Mom is acting differently toward Dad, too. She was all tough before, but now she's gone soft, probably thinks Dad is dying. And Dad? He's just laughing, like he's having a good time with all this mess.' Andrew hesitated, then said, "Let's talk inside." He chose to hold his words for now.Hayden and Wyneth walked into the private dining room. Cindy was passing dishes to Hector. As they entered, every pair of eyes turned their way. A divorced couple and six sons stared at Hayden. Used to the predictable world of leadership, Hayden now ventur

In the end, Wyneth decided to stay. She could see the honesty in Matilda's words and knew she was sincere. Recognizing Matilda as not her birth mother made Wyneth realize she should not hold her to the same expectations. With acceptance, she focused on building her future with Hayden, freeing herself from doubts and reservations.With Wyneth's decision to stay, Matilda's heart swelled with joy and immense honor. Realizing Wyneth's sincere intentions, not merely chasing the Hamilton family's wealth, transformed their relationship. Matilda's newfound warmth toward her was evident. Gifts, once withheld, now freely flowed into Wyneth's room. At auctions, Matilda eagerly bid on items for Wyneth. During jewelry store visits, Matilda generously bought her gifts, swiping her credit card without hesitation, and welcoming her nearly as a daughter.Wyneth received a call from her mother. Even after so many years, her mom, Cindy, was still bossy. "Your father isn't doing well. You should come to

Just at that moment, a knock sounded from outside."Sir, your mother is back," someone said.Hayden could feel the person in his arms stiffen, her body tensed. "Don't worry, I'm right here," he reassured her softly."Your mother heard that Ms. Walford is here. She wants to see her," the voice from outside continued.'Meet me?' Wyneth bit her lower lip lightly. 'Why does she want to see me? To insult me again?'"She hasn't eaten yet. She can meet her after eating," Hayden said, gently turning down the request for Wyneth. Outside, everything fell silent."Won't this offend your mom?" Wyneth's voice filled with concern as she asked.Hayden looked at Wyneth, pausing for a moment before speaking. "I know she's been mean to you," he said. Wyneth's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm sorry." He bent down and lightly kissed her forehead. "You've been treated unfairly." Seeing her blink, he added, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll go with you."Wyneth was a bit nervous, but not as anxious a

Hector was speechless as Cindy mistakenly thought he was ill. Seeing her worried face, he felt the misunderstanding might not be so terrible. He shared a look with Andrew. His eldest son caught on immediately, giving a subtle head shake. Understanding the signal not to mislead Cindy any further, Hector hesitated before gently asking, "Can I see her? Even just a glance?" It had been many years since he last saw his daughter up close, and she had not called him "Dad" in all that time.Cindy, lost in thought, stared at Hector before finally nodding as if admitting defeat. "Fine, I'll call her."Later, Wyneth fell asleep. Upon waking, she found herself on the large bed in Hayden's bedroom. She saw Hayden sitting at the sofa, busy with a computer.Hearing her movement, Hayden immediately got up and walked toward her. "Awake? Thirsty or hungry? Want something to eat first?"Having slept through lunch, Wyneth was hungry, so she nodded. "Sure."After Hayden left to give some instructions,

'He shifts moods so fast,' Wyneth thought as she stared at her unattended ringing phone.Observing her delay, Hayden asked, "What's going on?"In his mind, a thought flickered, 'She seems reluctant to take the call. Perhaps there's tension with her eldest brother?'"He's calling now; must be about him," Wyneth whispered."About your dad?"They had decided to be together, and Wyneth did not hide anything from him. "Yeah, my dad."Hayden did not utter a single word."I don't like him," Wyneth softly said, staring at her ringing phone. "Answer it for me and say I'm asleep," she whispered to Hayden as she cozied up to him. Without a word, Hayden picked up the phone and conveyed the message before ending the call.After ending the call, a curious Hector asked, "Well? Where is she?"Understanding the situation, Andrew said, "She didn't answer the phone; she's asleep."Despite hearing the words, Hector felt something was off. He sighed, "She really doesn't like me.""Don't worry, D

"Trouble recognizing faces? What do you mean?" Hector Spencer asked.Andrew sighed. "Dad, he's Wyneth's ex-husband."Hector's eyes widened in surprise. "He is? No wonder I didn't recognize him. I must've barely seen him before.""Is that what's bothering you?" Andrew asked."What else would it be?" Hector replied, still taken aback.Andrew sighed. His dad, Hector, was good at many things and never stayed mad at people. But there was one funny thing about him: he could never remember faces of people outside their family. "You don't mind?" Andrew asked.Smiling, Hector replied, "Mind what? She's told everyone, so she must be ready. I've never been the dad she favored. If I object now, won't she dislike me even more?"Andrew was left speechless by this. He had not expected Hector to have no objections. "Seems like someone doesn't need your approval."Changing the topic, Hector asked, "What about your mom? Is she back?" He had been living alone for many years.Andrew exhaled. "I t

Everyone rushed to check out Wyneth's Facebook and, sure enough, they saw her admitting to the relationship, along with a freshly taken selfie.At first, Wyneth only wanted to write a post. But after Hayden tasted the joy of going public with their relationship, he suggested taking a wefie for the official announcement. Feeling his excitement, Wyneth agreed. They posted the wefie on Facebook, captioned "Officially Together". Yet, Hayden was not done. He captured another photo, this time holding her hand, eager to share their love with the world.Since Hayden was not a celebrity or idol, he had no fan feelings to fret over.
