Emma did not want to argue, so she quickly headed for the door. Alena and Rainee chased after her. Even though Alena tried talking to her, Emma made up her mind and left the room.Yoyo was about to shut the door when Emma looked back, biting her lip. "Promise me you'll tell Wyneth I won't let her down."Yoyo had lost all the good vibes she once felt for Emma. Rolling her eyes, she said, "Whatever. Can't tell what's up with you anymore."Emma just gave a sad smile. Her reputation that she worked so hard for fell apart because of this.Slam!Yoyo closed the door, leaving the others outside. Rolling her eyes, she said, "I used to actually like her. Can't believe I didn't see what she was really like. The entertainment world can be pretty crazy." Wyneth started cleaning some leftover snacks. Yoyo hurried to help, then started chatting like she always did. "Only the boss of StarCrest Entertainment could do something like blacklisting someone, right?" Yoyo could not help but be curious.
When Yoyo kept asking her questions, Wyneth stayed calm."Come on, tell me," Yoyo said, getting closer and continuing her questions.Wyneth glanced at her and said, "It's really that simple. Thinking something different won't change the truth." After cleaning up, Wyneth threw the stuff in the trash and then washed her hands.Yoyo followed her, saying, "I don't believe you, even if you say there's nothing."Wyneth shrugged. "That's cool."Yoyo pouted. "You're not even trying to convince me?""Why should I?""I guess you shouldn't.""Right.""But you should still try to convince me? Maybe then I'd believe something's up. You're not telling me anything and it's bugging me."Wyneth dried her hands and left, saying casually, "Sorry, but there's really nothing to tell."Yoyo did not ask any more questions about that. But she was restless and soon started looking at fun stories on her phone.That evening, Emma, who had been quiet all day because she got banned, suddenly shared a v
Yoyo was mad when she posted on Facebook. She did not tell Wyneth before she did it. When Wyneth saw it, there were already thousands of comments. Others even shared Yoyo's post on different sites. Some people were upset with Yoyo, but many others supported her."Sorry, Wyneth. I should've told you before I put that on Facebook. I just didn't like them always being mean to you," Yoyo said.Wyneth looked at her, kind of lost. "I'm not upset. But aren't you worried of making others mad?""Why should I worry?" Yoyo said, shrugging. "Do you know why I'm still just a side character in shows, even after all this time? It's not just because I'm not the best at acting. It's also because I speak my mind and sometimes get too mad. That's why I haven't played the main character.""If you know that, why don't you change?""It's just who I am." Yoyo shrugged.Wyneth stayed quiet, thinking Yoyo was happy being herself."Are you gonna post on Facebook?" Yoyo asked.Wyneth shook her head. "No.
Hayden was always quiet. This made Wyneth even more sure he did not act that way just to defend her, even if others thought so. After realizing what she was thinking, Wyneth just laughed at herself and focused on reading her script."Mr. Hamilton," Dexter said, "Serena has taken the lead role like you wanted. And Wyneth suggested Yoyo for the supporting role. You know, the one who's been sticking up for Wyneth on Facebook lately."Hayden usually did not pay much attention to other women. But when Dexter mentioned how Yoyo had been helping Wyneth, he started to like Yoyo more. "If she does a good job at her audition, she can have the role. And think of her for other cool parts later on."Dexter was shocked. 'Wow, Mr. Hamilton never acted like this before! He must really like Wyneth.'A week after getting the role, Yoyo joined Wyneth on the same set. Later, Wyneth headed to Bruce's trailer. Now that everyone knew they were brother and sister, she was not shy about it. She walked in j
Holding her script tightly, Serena forced a smile. 'I've heard about stuff like this at the company, but never thought someone would really get in trouble. Emma sure made a big mistake this time.'Serena first saw Wyneth in the elevator with Hayden. He acted like Wyneth was a big deal, so Serena knew to steer clear. At a get-together, it was obvious Hayden really liked Wyneth. Serena wondered why Emma had messed up so badly. She guessed that Emma probably thought she was on top of the world and way too full of herself. Luckily, Serena knew better and did not dwell on things that were not hers.Her assistant, who sometimes took a while to understand things, said, "Hey, Serena... about that video of Emma saying sorry to Wyneth... Did Wyneth get Emma banned?" Serena looked over and her assistant's eyes got big. "Didn't we see Wyneth and Mr. Hamilton in the elevator once?" She quickly covered her mouth like she said a secret out loud."Right," Serena nodded. "Didn't I tell you to preten
"A BBQ party?" Hayden in a fancy suit looked up, eyes full of confusion. Dexter quickly explained what a BBQ party was. Hayden frowned, thinking about all the smoke from the grill.Dexter had been Hayden's assistant for a long time, so he knew what Hayden thought. He scratched his head and said, "If the BBQ is outside, there won't be too much smoke. If it bothers you, you can stand farther away from where they're grilling.""Is she gonna be there?" Hayden suddenly asked.Dexter nodded. "Yeah, Serena told her manager to tell us. I think there's something more going on."Hearing this, Hayden just said, "Got it.""So, should we...?""What, you wanna turn down an invite?""Nah, I'll tell them we'll be there."After Dexter left, Hayden's mood seemed to lighten up. Turns out, he had always wanted to check out the set but needed a good reason. This barbecue invite was perfect.Later, Serena went up to Wyneth to invite her. Wyneth was used to lead actors throwing parties for everyone,
Wyneth was about to speak when Yara quickly said, "It's okay, Wyneth. I'm here for you always."'Actually, it's still okay to get some hangover pills from the store.' After thinking for a moment, Wyneth looked up and told Yara, "I hope things like that don't happen again. But if they do, you don't need to stick right by me. Just do what feels right in the moment."Yara nodded. "Got it, Wyneth."When Wyneth found out about the cast's barbecue party, she remembered to invite Yoyo, the newest member of their team. After Yoyo's scene, she quickly joined Wyneth, who was still in her costume with her hair braided. Yoyo could not stop talking about how cool Wyneth's braids looked. Wyneth listened, not showing any emotion. She would be wearing those braids for another ten days of filming, so she did not want to complain about them.As Wyneth sat with Yoyo, she overheard some actresses talking nearby."Do you think Mr. Hamilton will show up tonight?""He hasn't been back since he left tha
Wyneth walked quickly, taking long strides. Dressed in a cute outfit, she moved as swiftly as the wind. With everyone at the barbecue party, the makeup room was quiet and empty. She turned on the light and sat in front of a mirror. Sighing with relief, she began to remove her hair accessory. Just then, a noise came from the dressing area, making her look that way."Who's there?"The sudden noise in the quiet room was kind of spooky. Wyneth looked toward the sound. Soon, a guy from the crew stepped out from behind a curtain."Hi, Wyneth."Wyneth looked puzzled. 'What's a guy doing in the women's makeup room? And why was he in the dressing area?'The man looked at Wyneth, walking over. "I work with the props," he said. "I heard a mirror was broken, so I came to see since no one was here.""A broken mirror?""Yes," he replied.Wyneth understood and nodded without asking more. She expected him to leave, but he just stood there, staring at her."You need something?" Wyneth asked.
"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
