Gigi placed a cup of hot tea in front of Hayden and said in a delicate tone, "Hayden, Mrs. Hamilton asked me to take good care of you. You need to drink more hot tea." Her words drew envy from the crowd.

With a sweet smile, Gigi added. "Our families have been friends for generations. Mrs. Hamilton treats me like her own daughter, so please don't misunderstand." She glanced at Wyneth out of the corner of her eye, feeling pleased with herself. 'Wyneth, what do you have to compete with me? Just tuck your tail and run away!'

But Wyneth sat quietly in the corner with an aloof presence that did not match anyone else in the room. Shaun glanced at Gigi, feeling uncomfortable with her subtle yet assertive comment.

'I was thinking during the day that Gigi was just being hard on Wyneth's role because she didn't like the idea of a new actress suddenly appearing. But boy, was I wrong. Turns out, these two are love rivals. The way Gigi spoke was just a power move, both clear and veiled at the sam

    'Hayden...' Wyneth's eyes narrowed as she strode forward with an air of composure, seemingly oblivious to his presence.Hearing the footsteps, Hayden looked up, his deep gaze locked unto her. As soon as he entered the private room, he had already spotted her. She was stunning in a red velvet gown that perfectly accentuated her gorgeous figure. Her slim waist and curvaceous arms crafted a seductive silhouette. Today, her legs were hidden, yet she was even more captivating than the day before. Despite this, she walked past him expressionless.Hayden squinted and called out, "Wyneth."Wyneth halted, casting him a sideways glance. Her eyes were as captivating as a hook, but her voice was frosty. "What can I do for you, Mr. Hamilton?"She bore no resemblance to the sweet, gentle, and flirtatious Wyneth he had spent time with the previous night. A headache crept up on Hayden. He raised a hand to massage his temple, drew closer to her, and whispered, "Wyneth, don't speak to me like that."

    Wyneth lifted her chin, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous smile as her voice took on a flirtatious tone. "Yes, that's right."Clearly provoked by her words, Hayden's eyes grew dark. He pressed his lips together, glaring intently at her with a brooding expression."Is there anything else?" she asked.Hayden said nothing. Wyneth's smile vanished, and her face turned icy. "Let go of me, and listen carefully. Hayden, for the past three years, just pretend I never existed as your wife. I hope we never cross paths again. As for the divorce agreement, please have Mr. Zach send it to me promptly." With that, she broke free from his grasp and pushed him away, creating enough distance to walk away.Hayden stood frozen for quite some time.When Jake found him, Wyneth was long gone. He hurried over and inquired. "Where's Wyneth? Don't tell me you scared her off."During the gathering earlier, Hayden abruptly set down his glass and stormed out. Jake thought something serious had happened,

    Upon hearing that, Jake's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked, "You seriously call those things useless?"With a cold and indifferent tone, Hayden replied, "Aren't they just pretty with no real purpose?"Jake fell silent for a moment before responding. "I won't waste time discussing these trivialities with you. Whether or not they have value isn't the point. Will you send them or not?""Fine, I'll send them." Hayden conceded. After all, it was his only option right now. Wyneth had blocked his calls, and even Jake's dinner invitation didn't work. If Jake believed flowers would help, then he would try that first.The next day, Wyneth officially joined the film crew. The set was buzzing with activity, and apart from Gigi, the lead actress who had her own makeup room and lounge, all the other actresses shared a cramped makeup area.The room was nearly full when Wyneth arrived. Some actresses dozed off in their chairs, clutching their scripts, while others hastily ate breakfast as

    The makeup artist hesitated, glancing at her, "But, Yoyo, your makeup isn't done yet."Yoyo responded confidently. "It's all good. Finish Wyneth's makeup first, then you can do mine. No big deal."Wyneth's lips moved, wanting to object, but she ended up thanking Yoyo instead."Don't mention it!" Yoyo exclaimed, "Let's be friends. How about we exchange numbers and grab some late-night snacks sometime? Just don't let my manager find out, or I'll never hear the end of it."Yoyo's bubbly personality and incessant chatter finally made Wyneth laugh. They exchanged phone numbers.Sure enough, Wyneth's scene was up first.When Wyneth finished her scene and returned, Yoyo immediately handed her phone to her. "I have to do my scene now, and I don't have time to get a ticket. Wyneth, can you help me out?""Get a ticket?"Seizing the moment of Wyneth's confusion, Yoyo thrust the phone into her hand and whispered a six-digit number. "This is the payment password. Make sure to buy the ticket

    Yoyo's eyes widened, exchanging a meaningful glance with Wyneth. With a knowing smile, Wyneth silently opened the in her hands."I'll go investigate," Yoyo declared, leaving the room. Moments later, she returned, her expression a mixture of shock and amusement. "You won't believe this... those flowers were actually from Mr. Hamilton for Gigi!"At these words, Wyneth's fingers paused ever so briefly, before resuming their usual rhythm. 'Things are escalating quickly,' she mused."You don't seem the least bit surprised." Yoyo observed as she sat down in front of Wyneth, her gaze intense. "We're talking about Hayden here! Countless female celebrities would kill for his attention."And not just female celebrities seeking his favor. Once, Wyneth herself had been among them. But now, she understood that some things were simply unattainable, no matter how desperately desired."Seriously though, do you think Mr. Hamilton is genuinely interested in Gigi? He visited the set yesterday, and

    In a hotel's lavish suite, the tall and impressive figure of the man was reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows. A young assistant busily worked behind him, but when he spoke up, the assistant stopped and looked over. "No problem, Mr. Hamilton. I've got this. I even did some research and found the perfect flowers for you and Mrs. Hamilton. And trust me, you won't see the same arrangement twice in a week." As soon as Dexter finished speaking, he felt a little proud of himself. 'If this continues, Mrs. Hamilton will definitely reconcile with Mr. Hamilton!'Dexter then asked, "Mr. Hamilton, aside from the flowers, I was thinking we could add some chocolates, or perhaps some cakes?"'Those overly sweet and greasy things?' Hayden felt nauseous as he thought to himself about it. "Are you sure she'll like it?" Mr. Hamilton felt that Wyneth would not be very fond of sweets or the likes of it."Mr. Hamilton, women love anything that's sweet. How could anyone say no to this? Sugar boosts

    At that very moment, Gigi was in her dressing room, cradling a bouquet of flowers and striking various poses as she took pictures with her phone. After capturing the flowers, she turned her attention to snapping photos of chocolates and sweet treats. Her spirits were soaring to new heights, all thanks to Hayden."Alright, that's enough," Gigi said, handing the bouquet to her assistant. "Help me put these flowers away, would you? I want to share these on my social media."The assistant reached out to take the bouquet, but before she could grasp it, Gigi, distracted by her phone, let go. The vibrant bouquet fell to the floor, and the assistant's face turned pale."I'm so sorry, Gigi! I didn't mean to."Gigi glared at the fallen bouquet, her anger boiling over as she shouted, "Are you blind or just incapable of using your hands? Is this really how you take something from someone when they ask?""I- I'm so sorry," stammered the assistant, her face drained of color. She bent down to pi

    "Hayden, why didn't you tell us you were coming to Frecford?" one man asked. "If it wasn't for Jake, we wouldn't have known you were here."Hayden picked up his tea from the table, his eyes narrowing slightly as he replied softly, "Should I make a special announcement for a simple meeting?"A man named Rio Silva raised an eyebrow. "How long are you staying at Frecford this time?"Hayden's expression remained calm. "Three or four days, I suppose."Initially, he planned to stay for no more than two days, but three days had already passed. Hayden never thought he would waste his time like this."You're leaving so soon?" Jake began to say something but was interrupted by a phone call. "Let me take this call." Seeing the name of the director from Le Palais on the screen, Jake's brow furrowed. 'What could be the matter at this hour?' he wondered."Matthew?"As soon as Matthew heard Jake's voice, he began to vent his frustrations. He had finally found an actress who satisfied him in ev

    "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
