Leo paused for a moment. His ears turned slightly red as he said softly, "You can ask me if you have any questions about acting."Leo heard that Wyneth was new to acting. Even though he was not the best actor himself, he figured that he would at least be better than Wyneth in terms of experience.Wyneth did not notice anything unusual and thought that he was just being kind. So, she nodded."Thank you."Then, she bowed her head back down, not wanting to flatter Leo.After a few seconds, Wyneth raised her head up as if she suddenly thought about something. "Do you want to have a seat?"Undoubtedly, Leo did not refuse the offer of such a gorgeous woman. Then, he nodded his head and sat neither too near nor too far away from Wyneth.They heard Matthew yelling at the set after he sat down for a while."Catherine's eyes should be filled with joy in this scene! She has to be hopeful about her future as a young girl. Her eyes must tell a story! How many times have I told you about thi
Matthew's anxious mood eased as Wyneth's scenes were shot smoothly. He shouted the name of the next actor with satisfaction, pleased with the progress they were making.As soon as Wyneth finished filming, the intense heat outside hit her hard. She spotted Yoyo waving frantically from inside the tent and made her way over to see what was going on. Yoyo handed her a bottle of cold mineral water, which Wyneth gratefully accepted. "Thanks," she said, unscrewing the cap and taking a few refreshing sips.Yoyo then pulled her aside, whispering to her in a mysterious tone that was hoarse and gritty, a stark contrast to her previous sweet voice. "Have you heard? Hayden Hamilton didn't send flowers to Gigi today."Wyneth glanced at her, concerned. "Doesn't your throat hurt when you talk like that?"Yoyo nodded pitifully in response."Well, then maybe you should stop talking if it hurts," suggested Wyneth.Yoyo refused, however, determined to share the juicy gossip. "I won't! I have to spil
Toward the end of her sentence, Gigi had a sudden recollection and expressed her annoyance to Jake, "Jake, you're being so inattentive. I already shared pictures on my social media."However, instead of a response, there was complete silence."Jake?" Gigi called out."Just a moment, I have an urgent call to make," Jake abruptly hung up on Gigi.Puzzled by Jake's behavior, Gigi wondered to herself, "What's going on? Is he in shock?"Shortly after, Hayden received a call from Jake. He answered it in a detached tone as he had just stepped out of the elevator. "What's up?" Hayden asked."Man, there's a big problem!" Jake's voice quivered with agitation. "Hayden, we've been friends for years, and you're usually so level-headed. But how could you mess things up with Wyneth so badly? Who did you give the flowers to?"Hayden's silence spoke volumes to Jake.Being good friends for a long time, Jake knew that Hayden wasn't great at expressing himself and didn't like to do it much either.
"Nathan Zach."As soon as Nathan heard Hayden's mention of his name on the phone, he felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly tried to explain, "M-Mr. Hamilton, I'm not the one pushing you. It's Ms. Walford who's pushing me to get this done."Hayden frowned and wondered to himself, 'Does she really want to cut ties with me like this?'After a long pause, Hayden finally spoke up and said, "Tell her that if she wants the divorce agreement, she can come and get it herself.""Mr. Hamilton, I don't think that's—"But before Nathan could finish his sentence, Hayden abruptly hung up the phone. Nathan listened to the busy tone on the other end and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After taking a moment to compose himself, he called Wyneth back, feeling frustrated that he had been reduced to such a submissive and meek state by a simple divorce agreement. As a member of a top professional law firm, he couldn't believe that he was struggling with this task."Hello, Ms. Walford?" Nathan
Hayden Hamilton, the CEO of StarCrest Entertainment, was known to have a tight grip on the fate of almost all artistes in the showbiz.Shaun couldn't resist asking, "Was it Mr. Hamilton who sent the address?"Wyneth put away her phone, showing no emotion. "No, it was his lawyer. He asked me to go pick up the divorce agreement."'D-Divorce agreement!?' Shaun was taken aback. He knew very little about the couple's situation. He had only heard from Wyneth that she and Hayden had divorced. He didn't expect the divorce agreement was still unresolved.Shaun glanced at Wyneth and asked, "Are you going?" He noticed her reluctance. As a professional celebrity manager, Shaun could offer guidance, but ultimately, the decision rested with his client.She looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"Shaun gave a straightforward answer, "Go get the divorce agreement. Otherwise, if you enter into a new relationship, you could be accused of infidelity. Your audience expects a lot from you now t
The receptionist gave Wyneth a sharp look before saying, "I've seen plenty of people like you before. You all claim to have appointments, but none of you even have Mr. Hamilton's phone number."To be fair, the receptionist wasn't entirely to blame. There were simply too many women vying for Hayden's attention. Even a bottom-tier celebrity wouldn't hesitate to pay him a visit.Wyneth quickly realized that arguing with the receptionist would be futile. She didn't want to waste any more time, so she took out her phone and dialed Nathan. "Mr. Zach, the receptionist won't let me go up. Could you ask Hayden to bring the agreement down so I can leave? Thanks." Wyneth hung up before Nathan could reply.The receptionist, who had previously scoffed at Wyneth, was taken aback by Wyneth's assertiveness. She couldn't help but wonder, 'Does this woman really have an appointment? But how is that possible? Mr. Hamilton just arrived at the company today. It can't be a coincidence.'What's even more
"Don't push your luck too far," Wyneth said.Hayden was surprised. He had never seen Wyneth this angry before. He observed her struggling to control her temper, as though she was about to claw at someone. Despite wanting to laugh, Hayden managed to stifle it. A hint of resignation was etched on his lips. "What should I do? The company has been really busy since I woke up," he said.Wyneth didn't respond. When she saw him smile, she felt a bit dazed. Hayden's composed and handsome features merged with his casual yet charming teenage looks. She felt like she was back to when she was ten years old, meeting Hayden for the first time on a bridge.By the time she snapped out of it, she found herself walking into the office without realizing it. She turned around and saw Hayden looking at her intently, saying, "Wait for me," before leaving with his secretary.A few minutes later, Wyneth regained her senses and laughed at herself. 'What was I doing just now?' she thought. 'Do I have to kee
Dexter left the office still feeling bewildered. He couldn't help but wonder, 'They got divorced? When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed? And hasn't Mr. Hamilton been going out of his way to please Mrs. Hamilton recently? I thought it was Mr. Hamilton who upset Mrs. Hamilton, but it turns out it's a divorce.'After he finished what he had to do, Dexter quickly caught up with the ongoing meeting.At the start of the meeting, the StarCrest Entertainment management team noticed that the pace was unusually fast today. Although they were used to the fast-paced and straight-to-the-point meetings with Hayden, today was different. The pace was too quick, and they couldn't keep up. When the meeting ended, everyone's mind was still in a whirl, while Hayden had already put on his coat and left the room.As soon as he stepped out of the meeting room, everyone began to talk."What's up with Mr. Hamilton today? Why do I feel like he's in a hurry?""I heard he brought a lady to the office."
"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
