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
Annoyed, Gigi waved them off. "Get lost, did I call you over?"The sales associates, taken aback, retreated. Scarlett, sensing Gigi's displeasure, spoke up. "We'll try on clothes by ourselves, and if we like something, we'll call you for the check-out. You can go back to your work."Once the sales associates had left, Gigi started venting to Scarlett. "What's that woman's deal? Why is she asking me to eat walnuts? Is there something wrong with her mind?""Walnuts?" Scarlett, who had met Wyneth for the first time, did not understand the significance of the walnuts. "What do you mean?""Last time we met, we were talking, and she suddenly mentioned walnuts downstairs, asking me to taste them. Don't you think she's strange?"At first, Scarlett found it odd too, but then she had a sudden flash of insight. "Walnuts are supposed to be good for the brain."Gigi's tirade stopped short, and an awkward silence descended between the two. Moments later, Gigi slapped Scarlett across the face.
The summer heat was more intense than anyone had imagined. The crew at Stello Studios was tormented by the relentless sun, the fans blowing nothing but hot air, yet everyone still persevered in filming under the scorching sun. The actors had it even worse; their costumes layered upon layers, and those prone to sweating suffered terribly. Makeup was applied, then ruined, then reapplied, and after several times, their faces were a ghastly sight.Take Yoyo, for example, holding a small fan in her hand, blowing it on her face non-stop. Her assistant held another one, but her sweat still trickled down relentlessly. The makeup artist had applied touch-ups again and again, and finally, Yoyo could not take it anymore. She told her assistant, "Go buy some cold water, please. I feel like I'm going to get heatstroke if this continues.""Alright, Yoyo." The assistant put down her fan and turned to leave."Wait." Yoyo, remembering something, stopped her and looked toward Wyneth, who was reading
Yoyo had not yet processed the information. "What ticket?""The one for Finn's concert.""What?" Yoyo's eyes widened, and she stood up in excitement. "You have a ticket to my love's concert? How did you get it? Oh my gosh, did you manage to buy it? You're amazing, Wyneth!" Her excitement caused her voice to rise, attracting everyone's attention.Wyneth, feeling a headache coming on, said, "Calm down.""Oh, okay!" Yoyo leaned back against the table, her posture and expression suddenly subdued. "So you really have a ticket to my love's concert? You're not lying?""Mm-hmm, I'll give it to you after we finish filming. I have two tickets, so we can go together.""Oh my gosh, have I found a sister in you, Wyneth? Do you also like Finn?"Finn was her sixth brother. So yes, she did like him, but in a familial way. "Mm-hmm, I like him." A different kind of affection."Then that's great! As long as you like Finn, we're sisters!" Yoyo excitedly gripped Wyneth's hand as if she had found he
With a prowess surpassing the entertainment moguls and striking good looks sharper than any heartthrob, he was the ideal match for nearly every female celebrity in the industry. Such a perfect man attracted fans who looked down on the actresses in the industry. Moreover, they never imagined he would marry, as there seemed to be no women around him. Even if he did marry, they expected him to find someone whose background and appearance matched his own.But now there was Gigi, and they could not help but feel that she was mismatched with Hayden. Their looks did not match, their backgrounds did not match, even their education did not match. So, the bitterness directed at Gigi was intense. Some even dug up dirt on Gigi, claiming she was an arrogant diva with a bad temper, and her seemingly soft, cute princess persona was just a facade. The internet was in an uproar.It had been a few days since Hayden returned to Acrofburg. Today, after finishing an important meeting, Dexter, who was tid
Before Hayden could finish speaking, a message suddenly came through on Dexter's phone."What's the message?""Mr. Hamilton, the message is about our successful flight booking, and the driver is already waiting downstairs."Five hours later, Hayden and his assistant Dexter arrived in another city. They entered an apartment unit, which had an excellent structure, faced south, and featured massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The agent used a remote control to open the curtains, explaining, "Once the curtains are open, you can see the swimming pool below. The view is truly spectacular."Hayden and Dexter followed the agent over. By the enormous swimming pool, a passionate couple embraced each other, nearly naked.'What the hell? A spectacular view?' Dexter had no words. Hayden's face darkened immediately."Uh." The agent awkwardly and quickly closed the curtains, laughing nervously. "This is an unexpected occurrence; it doesn't usually happen."Dexter looked at the agent, at a loss f
"I've been waiting for you for so long. Finally, you're here. Your—"Wyneth cut her off. "Miss Anna, this is Yoyo."It was then that Anna noticed the person beside Wyneth was not her best friend Amelia, but an unfamiliar face. "Hello."Yoyo reached out with a trembling hand. "H-hello.""The seats are all arranged. Let's go in, and I'll take you there."As the two followed Anna, Yoyo could not help but tug at Wyneth's arm, whispering, "How do you know Anna? Oh my God, why didn't you tell me earlier?"'If I had told her sooner, knowing her fangirl nature, she would have pestered me for days.' Wyneth quietly explained, "Now you know, right? Think of it as a surprise.""Oh, Darling Wyneth, this is such a surprise!" Yoyo excitedly clung to Wyneth's arm, staring at Anna's back. "Can I ask her for an autographed photo of Finn later? No, wait, she's your friend. I shouldn't scare her off during our first meeting, but... this opportunity is so rare, I can't help but feel emotional."Wyn
"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
