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
Rio called out to Jake several times before he finally snapped back to reality. Not wanting to ask Hayden directly in front of Rio, Jake held his tongue. When the gathering was over and Rio had left, Jake found an excuse to pull Hayden aside."Did you divorce Wyneth?" Having been friends for years, Jake never beat around the bush and always spoke directly. At his words, Hayden paused, his dark eyes turning to Jake. For a brief moment, Jake felt the intensity of Hayden's gaze grow colder."Who told you?" Not many people knew about this matter. Apart from him and Wyneth, and Nathan, no one else should know about their divorce. Even his personal assistant, Dexter, was in the dark about it.Jake wanted to say he heard it from Gigi, but after seeing Hayden's icy stare, he changed his mind. "I guessed." Then, Jake exclaimed in disbelief, "No way, no way! I actually guessed right? You and Wyneth really got divorced? Why did you get divorced? Was it because Wyneth was too beautiful, gentle,
"I've ordered them for a month.""Good. When pursuing someone, attitude matters. You can't be as cold and aloof with Wyneth as you are with us. You have to smile, be gentle, and look at her with eyes full of love. Understand?"Hayden's lips twitched a little."Good luck, young man. If you don't step up your game, a woman like Wyneth might be someone else's before you know it." If Wyneth had not been Hayden's wife, Jake might have pursued her himself. As a woman, she was incredibly captivating. Jake still remembered the first time they met, how he was awestruck by her beauty."I understand."A few days after Wyneth joined the cast, Le Palais announced the replacement of the Lucienne character, which was met with a barrage of criticism.[What's wrong with the Le Palais production team? She's been on set for so long; is there some hidden agenda for replacing her now?][According to insiders, Mandy's role was squeezed out, and a stunning beauty was parachuted into the production, ta
Originally, Anna planned to meet Wyneth at a café, but Finn suddenly called her, saying that the event would end earlier and asked her to have Wyneth wait for him in the hotel suite. But Wyneth arrived on her own, only to leave again after sitting for less than ten minutes.Wyneth said calmly, "It'll be the same if we meet next week. Just let him rest when he comes back.""Shall I have the driver take you home?"Wyneth smiled softly and shook her head. "No need. I'm going to the mall next door."Anna looked at her with a regretful expression. "Well, your brother really misses you.""We'll have plenty of chances to meet in the future." Before, she stayed with the Hamilton family and hardly went out, and Finn was busy with his acting career, so they did not have much opportunity to meet. But things would be different now that she was in the entertainment industry too. They would have many more chances to see each other, maybe even appear on shows together."In that case, I won't wa
The fitting room door suddenly swung open, and Gigi, wearing a red dress, stepped out. Scarlett, who had been flipping through a magazine, immediately stood up to shower Gigi with compliments. "Gigi, oh my God, did I just accidentally catch a glimpse of a fairy descending to earth?"Such flattery was well-received by Gigi, and she smirked. "Are you exaggerating just a little?"While browsing through clothes, Wyneth paused in her actions. 'Gigi?' She could not help but laugh to herself. 'I run into her even when I'm just shopping at the mall? What kind of terrible twist of fate is this?'"It's absolutely stunning. This red dress looks perfect on you, and it'll certainly sweep a lot of men off their feet," Scarlett gushed, heaping more praise on Gigi.'Sweep men off their feet?' Gigi suddenly thought of Hayden. She wondered if he would like her in this dress. Her lips curled slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror. But through the red dress, she suddenly caught sight of anoth
Gigi's voice approached from a distance, and suddenly, she appeared before the two of them. Then, Gigi saw Wyneth. She was still wearing that red dress, and when she saw Wyneth, her pupils constricted, and she almost instinctively turned to run away. Although she did not know where this feeling came from, she felt a little guilty, as if wearing a red dress was deliberately copying Wyneth. But she quickly thought of something and turned back. Gigi crossed her arms over her chest and walked over with a smile."Well, well, who do we have here? I was wondering where that destitute smell was coming from. It turns out it's Wyneth, who was kicked out by Hayden." As she spoke, her gaze fell on the clothes in Wyneth's hands. "Here to buy clothes? Can you even afford them after being thrown out?"Wyneth, having probably guessed that Gigi would come to cause trouble, calmly countered, "If I can't afford it, is Ms. Kane going to pay for me?""How could that be possible?" Gigi widened her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Gigi gritted her teeth and demanded, "Did you get this Black Card from Hayden?"'Just a Black Card, and she thinks I had to get it from Hayden?' Wyneth gave Gigi a look, her eyes conveying a sense of disbelief. Seeing Gigi's infuriated expression, her eyes nearly shooting flames, Wyneth could not help but laugh. "Yes, it was your beloved Hayden who gave it to me. How come? He didn't give one to you?"That last question left Gigi's face twisted with anger. After a long pause, she forced an uncomfortable smile."How could I possibly not have one? Of course, Hayden would give me one." But her hand clenched into a fist at her side, her face turning pale with rage.Upon hearing this, Wyneth raised an eyebrow, continuing to tease Gigi. "But there can only be one supplementary card, and since I can still use mine, where did you get yours?"'What? Only one supplementary card?' Gigi had not expected that. She did not have a Black Card, but her brother Jake did. The bank
"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. Eager to declare his love, he did not hold back. His photo captured his sharp features and dark, gem-like eyes that shone under the camera lights. The image showcased his palm holding Wyneth's fair, slender hand. Their contrasting hands highlighted his affection, radiating warmly from the photo.After the photo came out, everyone was shocked. This included fans, p
