Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton Chapter 230
Upon returning to her hotel, Wyneth received a cryptic text message from her older brother, Bruce. It was so simple—just a single question mark—that Wyneth thought there might be something wrong with her phone. Her brothers had never sent her such a message before.Wyneth immediately texted back: [What's up?] As soon as she sent the message, her phone rang. It was Bruce."Aren't you supposed to be on set?" he asked, his voice icy and distant."I wrapped for the day. What's going on?""Which set were you on?" Bruce inquired.Wyneth switched her phone to speaker mode, then sprawled out on the couch. "Le Palais. Where else?" she replied languidly."What about Cessation? What's the deal with Facebook?"Realizing that he must have seen her pictures on Facebook, Wyneth said, "It's just as you saw. Did you text me just to ask about that?"Bruce and Luke were sworn enemies. Wyneth knew this through her best friend, Amelia, and later confirmed it with Gordon. But she figured it did not

Yet, upon further reflection, Gordon added, "However, Shaun, despite his annoying demeanor, generally treats his artistes well. He shouldn't let your sister face any sort of bullying."Bruce pondered for a moment before saying, "Keep a close watch for me. Anything out of the ordinary, you report it.""Alright, alright. If I notice anything suspicious, I'll tell you. Are you satisfied now?"Only then did Bruce feel secure enough to focus on his acting.Two days later, Shaun handed a stack of scripts over to Wyneth. "Take your pick. You can keep any that you like."Wyneth eyed the pile of scripts and then glanced at Shaun, a look of bewilderment etched onto her face. "Has my reputation really spread so far?" She thought, 'Scripts are flocking to me this quickly?'Shaun adjusted his glasses, his gaze enigmatic as he responded, "Wake up; it's your manager's reputation that's far-reaching."Wyneth had no words."Go ahead, see which ones you like." With that, Shaun nudged the stack o

"What's wrong with this script? You haven't even delved into the content yet, have you?"Indeed, Wyneth had not yet ventured into the content. The moment she noticed that Bruce was invited to play the male lead, she instinctively ruled out the script. "I haven't, but the setup is too grand, too much for me to handle," Wyneth spoke with a tranquil air.Hearing this, Shaun's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could that be? If you can handle Luke's performances, there's no doubt you'd be a match for Bruce. They're of the same caliber."In response, Wyneth merely uttered softly, "Aurelia's role is small, but taking on the main female lead throughout could be a different challenge.""That might be a valid point, but surely, after performing as Lucienne and Aurelia, you would've improved," Shaun persisted. However, no matter what he said, Wyneth showed no interest in the script. Tentatively, he asked, "Is it the male lead that bothers you?"Hearing this, Wyneth raised her brows. "Why shou

'Did I agree?' Wyneth silently retorted in her mind.Shaun thought to himself, 'There's no way I'm passing up a chance to have Wyneth star opposite Bruce. It's Bruce, for heaven's sake! As much as I dislike him, he's on par with my man, Luke.' Having decided the role for Wyneth, he began to flip through the other scripts. "Take a look at these too, see if there's anything you like. There's no rush though, you can take your time. You've already got two roles lined up, so if nothing here piques your interest, you can always check back later.""Okay." Wyneth obediently nodded. A thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she glanced back at the script Shaun held. "Are you sure Bruce will accept that script?""He probably will? If he doesn't, we'll just back out too.""That's very whimsical of you."Shaun grinned. "Well, why not? It's not like you're lacking in opportunities." Internally, he added, 'Especially when someone keeps lining up scripts for you, it's only natural to be a bit whi

In the end, the scriptwriter refused to alter the character's fate. Dexter reported back, to which Hayden responded emotionlessly, "Then let's replace her.""Huh?" Dexter asked, puzzled, "Replace what?""The scriptwriter." Having said that, Hayden's focus returned to his computer screen.Unable to resist, Dexter stole a glance at Hayden. His face was frigid, eyes devoid of warmth, his whole being radiated an aura of "keep your distance". It dawned on Dexter then that Hayden was still Hayden; his decisions were unchangeable by anyone. "Understood," he replied.Upon learning of her replacement, the scriptwriter was simultaneously outraged and regretful. A friend by her side said, "Why not let the supporting character live? It's not like they're asking you to change the ending for the main character.""So what if they're the supporting characters? They're also the soul of the story. Without notable supporting characters, how can the plot be coherent? Should we rely solely on the main

Snapping back to reality, Wyneth frantically tried to wipe away the tears that had fallen on the script. But the act only served to smudge the ink, turning the words into blurred lines. Slightly helpless, she pulled a tissue from the box next to her to blot the pages dry. As she dried her eyes, her mind swirled with thoughts of Aurore's life.It seemed that from her birth to her death, Aurore had but one wish. If any other existed, it was that her brother's internal affliction would heal, driving her to test potions on herself in secret, transforming into an unrecognizable madwoman. Yet still, at her core, Aurore desired to save her brother. The scriptwriter was brilliant, painting a picture of a selfless end—dying by her brother's sword yet finding fulfillment in her sacrifice. It was hard to imagine she had any regrets.'Well, I guess I can't seem to escape playing characters with tragic endings. But these roles... they're good. I'll take it,' she thought to herself, closing the sc
Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton Chapter 236
While the character Aurore may have died in the end, for Wyneth, who had fully immersed herself in the script, the tragic ending was exactly what Aurore would have wanted for herself. Some may feel pity for Aurore's fate, but when Aurore regained her senses and discovered she had caused so much bloodshed, living became a torment. She wanted only to atone. If it had not been for her brother, she might have taken her own life the moment her sanity returned. And in the end, she gave her life for her brother. Wyneth was convinced Aurore would have wanted it this way."You thought the ending was good?" Shaun asked, bemused. "Didn't you just ask when you could play characters with happier endings?""Yes," Wyneth nodded, "but I was talking about originally scripted happy endings, not endings changed for convenience."Understanding dawned on Shaun. "So, you're saying, you thought the original ending was good?"Wyneth nodded again. "The script is perfect, the writer is incredibly skilled, a

"What's the big deal? It's just a change in the fate of a side character, isn't it? We're not touching the roles of the original lead characters, so what's good or bad about it?""If there's no right or wrong to it, why make changes to the ending, and then suddenly decide not to?""I just don't understand."Scriptwriter Maya Lawson was just as bewildered when she heard the original ending would be preserved. Her colleague nudged her arm. "Well, it looks like your original ending has been spared."Maya, however, was confounded. "Why though? Isn't Mr. Hamilton usually so steadfast in his decisions?" She mulled over her experiences. 'Has he ever changed his mind after making a decision?' In all her time with him, Maya had never seen him make a mistake. She certainly did not see his sudden order to modify the ending, threatening to replace her if she refused, coming. The idea initially filled her with dread, and she had wondered why she did not just agree. If she had, at least she woul

"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.
