Benedict had always disliked Matilda, and she held a deep aversion toward him as well, so it was unlikely she would seek his counsel. Ultimately, she could only bite her lip and turn to leave. But as she stepped outside, she ran right into Hayden, who had just returned from work.Her face instantly broke into a smile. "Hayden."Seeing Matilda, Hayden's brow furrowed. "What brings you here, Mom?" He had just heard that Wyneth had taken a flight back to Acrofburg today, and even saw a taxi leaving the Hamilton residence when he returned. Few people would take a taxi to this part of town, so he suspected that must be the car Wyneth had called from the airport. And now, he had encountered Matilda here. Just yesterday she had come to his company asking about the divorce agreement."I came to check on your grandparents." Matilda stepped forward, appearing as if she intended to adjust Hayden's collar. "You're always running off to this place. Your grandparents are getting on in years, don'
Matilda's view of Wyneth started to sour. She had people dig into Wyneth's background, but they came back empty-handed. Her past was squeaky clean. Following that, Matilda's resentment toward Wyneth was an ever-growing, ever-thickening knot in her heart. Every day that Hayden did not wake was a day her resentment grew further, solidifying her suspicions that Wyneth was not genuinely interested in her son but had come to the Hamilton family because she was helpless and alone. The feeling metastasized, Wyneth's name becoming synonymous with every negative idea and unkind word.When Hayden finally woke, three years later, gratitude toward Wyneth was not what she felt. She held the belief that Wyneth had somehow hindered Hayden's recovery, thinking that had they chosen a different woman, perhaps Hayden would have awoken sooner. It would not have taken three long, arduous years. So, she desired nothing more than to see Wyneth pack her things and leave the Hamilton family. To pay her some m
Upon hearing her words, Hayden's deep black eyes locked onto her face, his voice icy. "Putting it on... does that mean...?" He left his question hanging, and Wyneth had no intention to guess his meaning. "It means you've kept your word—you said you'd help me find it and you did."Caught off guard, Hayden loosened his grip. Wyneth broke free and stepped back. "Thanks." Remembering something, she said, "I recall that protective charm cost you a pretty penny at the auction, right? I'll pay you back for it, but I can't quite remember the exact amount, you—"Before she could finish, Hayden laughed scornfully. "So, not only didn't you open it, you can't even remember the price?"Upon hearing that, Wyneth froze, looking at Hayden with wide eyes."Do I repulse you that much?" he asked.Even though they had divorced, she still did not find Hayden repulsive. It was just that she never liked looking back. She tried not to pay attention to anything related to him.Seeing her silence, Hayden
Shaun: [Anyway, this is a great opportunity. After playing this role, you'll get to be the lead in the next film. Once the variety show airs, your popularity will skyrocket.]After chatting with Shaun, Wyneth checked the time and pursed her lips. It seemed rather late, but she wanted to call Bruce to understand what was really happening. Shortly after dialing, Bruce picked up."Hello." Bruce's voice was icy, emotionless.Upon hearing his voice, Wyneth instinctively wanted to address him, but something held her back. She glanced at Hayden, engrossed in his work on the couch. Under the monitor's light, his face seemed sharper.'Will my call disturb his work?' she thought, then told Bruce, "Hold on a sec," and slipped off the bed with her phone. Slipping on her shoes, she headed for the balcony, unaware that Hayden's attention had shifted from his laptop to her departure.'She's sneaking off to make a call? With a man? Is it the same man that was questioning about her relationships p
"It's just a show anyway. You should consider yourself lucky that I didn't personally keep an eye on you. Wyn, do you understand?"Wyneth fell silent upon hearing that.Bruce was right. Considering how well Wyneth understood her brothers, she knew that they were already being very lenient with her for not forcing her out of the entertainment industry after they found out about it."Wyn, you should be grateful," Bruce added.Wyneth sighed. "Yeah, I know, I know."Her voice sounded a little coquettish, a tone reserved only for her loved ones, the ones she had grown up with and relied on since childhood.Her voice followed the wind and drifted into the room unnoticeably.Hayden's eyes were no longer on the screen. Instead, it was his clenched fists resting on the table.Wyneth put her phone away after the call ended. She went back inside, but she could not see Hayden anywhere.Not only Hayden himself, but his phone, notebook, and other documents were all gone too. The couch and t
[Has the user above me been living under a rock? Wyneth Walford is so popular lately, and she even got on the trending page with Luke a couple of days ago. Mind you, they were rumored to be dating.][Tsk, tsk. Why are you bringing this up again? The company has already denied it. They just happened to bump into each other and shared a meal together as colleagues. Do you think that they'd expose themselves and eat with each other publicly if there was really something going on between them?][They wouldn't be so careless and let others see them if that meal was a date. Luke and Wyneth weren't bothered by the rumors at all. It shows that they have no romantic interest in each other, okay?][Luke probably doesn't because he's always had high standards. Why would he be interested in such an irrelevant newcomer? But I don't know about her. How certain are you that she has no feelings for Luke? Come on, Luke is tall, handsome, and dedicated to his career. Who wouldn't want to be with him?
Yoyo decided not to ask any further after seeing Wyneth's unwillingness to talk about it.Although she was nosy and loved gossiping, she would never force anyone to talk about things they did not want to.

He could easily dominate the idol drama scene too if he wants to. He should consider venturing in
Yoyo could not figure out how Wyneth could have such a strong heart.However, she did not want to say anything more that might upset her knowing that she was about to sleep.So, she lowered her head and continued scrolling through Facebook.As Wyneth's best friend, Yoyo wanted to promote the show on her own account, but she suddenly saw the latest hot topic when she was about to do that.[Finn Spencer liked Siblings Love]'What?'Yoyo's heart skipped a beat and immediately tapped on it.Then, she saw Finn's official Facebook account liking a post about him and Wyneth. Clearly, he did this to prove a point to the people who were accusing Wyneth of using him for fame.If even he was supporting the movement, then no other person would have the right to be against it.So, the original poster who had previously been attacked by other fans was now celebrating.
