After exiting the lift, Jane suddenly inquired, "Mr. Sala, who was that lady that welcomed you at the elevator entrance just now? She seems familiar!"Sala gazed at her intently, his eyes filled with confusion.Director Hisham followed closely behind and stated, "That's Manager Archana from the Design Department. She is a young and talented individual. She won the International Jewelry Design Award at the age of 21. Do you know her?"Jane smiled faintly, "She was my senior.""You're also an art major?" Director Hisham was slightly taken aback.Jane nodded, "Yes, but I dropped out of school.""That's a shame, otherwise we could have been colleagues." Director Hisham chuckled.Jane simply smiled and said nothing. At that time, she had a preference for oil painting, but she could also draw animes.Of course, she had tried her hand at jewelry design as well, since there was a design award with a substantial cash prize.Unfortunately, the design drawings she had created vanished, and when
In a poorly lit hotel room, Jane Austen wriggled restlessly on the oversized bed, her body aching and her head pounding from the excessive alcohol she had consumed earlier.As she took a deep breath, she noticed two figures standing near the bed, one of whom was actress Ciara Tyla and her manager, Salem Blue.Realizing it was getting late, Jane attempted to get up, but was stopped by Ciara's impatient voice."She looks ready to go," Ciara remarked.Confused, Jane wondered what Ciara meant by her comment.Earlier that night, Jane had received a call from Salem to pick them up at the hotel, but upon arrival, Ciara had taken her to meet the producer and director and had given her alcohol until she became dizzy and disoriented.Salem looked at Jane with sympathy and sighed, "It's a shame that such a beautiful girl is going to be used by Director Rebel."Ciara, however, was dismissive and snide. "Don't sympathize with her. She's just a stuntwoman, it's her job."Ciara then went on to expla
A flurry of hurried footsteps receded, and the door slammed shut, muffling all sound.Jane gazed at the dismal ceiling, consumed by an endless rage and regret.When she first joined the entertainment industry, she was a novice, only able to land minor roles with a modest income.Desperate to cover her brother's medical expenses, she received unexpected aid from Ciara Tyla.She sought to repay the debt, but Ciara adamantly refused, insisting that she was merely accruing good karma.Ciara's assistant informed her that Ciara was in need of a stuntwoman.Disliking the notion of indebtedness, Jane offered herself up as a replacement.Later, she discovered that her agent had secured her a lucrative commercial and two high-budget scripts, one of which featured her as the lead actress, an auspicious start to her career.Now it was clear that Ciara had been aware of these developments, and had deliberately conspired to stymie her ascent.Ciara was not as amiable as she appeared, and her exacti
The door was banged open as the room card was inserted, and warm light flooded in.The man strode in, carrying a woman in his arms, and shut the door behind him.The room was silent as Damien carefully laid the woman on the bed, her shirt torn and crumpled.What worried him more was her restlessness, as she tugged at his clothes and wriggled in his embrace.It took all his willpower to resist the impulse in his heart as he held her close.Breathing a sigh of relief, Damien felt like he had just climbed a mountain as he placed her on the bed.He noticed her flushed cheeks and shortness of breath, and a chill crept across his handsome face.Judging by her appearance, she must have been drugged, he thought.Otherwise, why would she be so eager for him?A wave of hostility rose in his heart, and his eyes darkened with anger. It seemed like someone was daring to mess with him.He couldn't bear to think about what would have happened if he hadn't arrived in time.If someone else had touched
The following morning, Jane woke up feeling a burning sensation next to her. She shifted uncomfortably and opened her eyes slowly.Her gaze immediately fell onto the handsome man lying beside her, their skin touching intimately. He was completely naked.She froze for a moment before letting out a loud scream, "Ah!"Panicked, she scrambled away from him, causing the blanket to slip off her body, revealing bruises all over her skin.The man lazily opened his eyes and spoke in a relaxed tone, "You're up early."Jane quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself up. She glared at him and asked coldly, "Who are you and why are you here?"Damien's lips curved into a smirk, "You mean to ask why we're in bed together?"Jane's anger flared up, "Answer my question!"Damien sat up and pointed to the hickey marks on his body, "Last night, you came to me in the corridor, hugged me, kissed me, and even undressed me. You seduced me."Jane immediately refuted his words, "That's nonsense! I would never
A man with an attractive appearance is causing envy among women.The fact is, he is in great physical shape, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, giving him the perfect inverted triangle figure. Even his complexion appears fairer than most women.Jane's annoyance was evident on her face. "Are you serious?"It's clear that this man is not the one suffering, she is."You may feel wronged, but I, Damien Wolfe, am not someone who takes things lightly." The man's voice was cold and distant, unlike his previous cheerful tone.Damien Wolfe? Jane was taken aback for a moment, as the name sounded familiar, like she had heard it somewhere before.She turned to him impatiently. "What do you want? Money? How much?"Seeing her reaction, Damien knew that she had no idea who he was.He smirked. "I have plenty of money, but there is one thing I lack."Jane looked at him skeptically, sensing that something was off."What is it?""I need a wife."Jane laughed. "That's not funny!"How could a man wi
Jane was experiencing some discomfort.New York is home to numerous affluent families, but the Wolfes reign supreme.The heir to the Wolfe family is Damien Wolfe.Jane may have heard of Damien Wolfe before as he was rumored to be entering the entertainment industry.Did she really fall for the first man in New York she met?Or is he just trying to deceive her?Damien seems to read her thoughts and smirked, "Would you like to see my identification?"Jane shook her head, knowing that IDs can be forged these days.However, she noticed the expensive Patek Philippe watch on the table when she reached for her ID."In that case, let's discuss marriage," Damien proposed calmly.Jane coldly refused, "I don't agree."Damien picked up his phone and threatened to call the police, "Then it seems I have no choice."Jane pleaded, "Please don't!""Then you agree?" Damien asked with interest.Jane gritted her teeth, not wanting to agree, but feeling powerless in this situation.Damien reassured her, "D
What kind of woman he desires to wed based on his status is insufficient, why does it have to be her? Jane is perplexed, is it just because of last night?Damien clarifies, "I won't marry someone I am not acquainted with. As per my investigation, Miss Austen, you are the most fitting candidate."Jane comprehends that this person has looked into her thoroughly in just one night.Indeed, someone of his stature must be cautious about his choice of spouse."So, do I not have the right to decline?" Jane inquired.The ball is in his court, and the terms he has offered are quite enticing.She is not concerned about herself; her brother's illness has always weighed heavily on her mind.Over the years, it has been challenging for her to pay for her brother's daily medical expenses, let alone find suitable organs and surgery fees."I hope you won't decline," Damien said.Jane understands that she has no choice now that matters has progressed to this point.Alternatively, she must thank God for p

In the morning, at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Switzerland, Seth escorted Jane into the hall.Director Hisham immediately recognized them and greeted them, "Mr. Seth, Miss Jane.""Director Hisham, good morning. Why did you personally come to pick me up?" Seth asked with a smile."It's the least I could do." Director Hisham smiled back. "Please.""Thank you." Seth led Jane towards the elevator.After exiting the elevator, Jane followed Seth into the adjacent conference room and spotted a familiar figure.He was leaning against the door, engrossed in his phone conversation.Director Hisham approached him and said, "Mr. Baker, Mr. Seth and Ms. Jane have arrived."Sala Baker glanced up, his gaze landing on Seth and Jane. "Long time no see."Jane nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's been a while."Seth looked at them both in surprise, "Do you two know each other?""We've met before," Jane explained.Seth accepted her answer without further inquiry.He patted Sal
Paparazzi? Jane's expression changed slightly, she instinctively glanced around."Don't look, they're behind me." Anderson took off his coat and covered Jane's head, "Come with me."He grabbed Jane's wrist, and the two walked directly to the parking area.After entering the car, Anderson said, "I need to shake off the celebrity photographers first, so I can take you back to the hospital later.""It's alright." Jane's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked at Anderson, "Did they capture us just now?""They probably did, don't worry, I'll handle it." Anderson said reassuringly.Jane sensed that it wouldn't be as simple as he claimed. If the two of them were caught on camera together, the headlines would undoubtedly be unavoidable tomorrow.Although Anderson had only been in the industry for a few years, he had a significant following and a large fan base, especially among female fans.Anderson had a few rumored girlfriends in the past, and many of his fans didn't accept them. They criti
As per the schedule, Jane visited the recording studio the next morning.Anderson and Piper arrived early, causing Jane to feel a little embarrassed.After exchanging pleasantries, Jane began practicing singing, choosing a song from Piper's collection.While she sang, Anderson worked on the arrangement, while Piper listened carefully, pointing out any flaws in Jane's performance.After a morning of training, the trio enjoyed lunch together and continued practicing in the afternoon.At around five o'clock, Piper called a halt to the session, cautioning Jane that over-practicing could be detrimental to her voice.Jane agreed, suggesting they go out for dinner, with her offering to treat them.Anderson objected, wary of her spending too much, but Jane reassured him that she had recently secured an endorsement deal.To ensure privacy, they dined at a restaurant owned by Anderson's friend, with Jane focusing the conversation on Anderson and Piper's recent work.Noticing Anderson's hectic s
Piper asked again, "Is he the guy you mentioned that you have feelings for?"Jane replied without hesitation, "No.""Don't lie to me, if someone is so into me, I'll definitely fall for him too." Piper didn't believe her.Jane went silent and said, "What if the person is a middle-aged man in his 50s with acne scars all over his face, would you still love him?"Piper was at a loss for words.After a while, she reluctantly said, "But he's tall and has a good physique.""That's just his back, you haven't seen his face." Jane said seriously.To convince Piper, she had to feel sorry for Damien."Fine, but don't hate on netizens, or they'll accuse you of being ungrateful." Piper warned."Don't worry, I won't." Jane assured her."I've made up my mind, I'll teach you how to sing starting tomorrow, and Anderson is also here, we'll meet at the usual place." Piper said."Okay."Jane hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. She had managed to deceive Piper, or else she would have pried furt
In the morning, Jane sat in the hospital poring over the two scripts Seth had given her.At noon, Duke called her and once again delivered her meal.Taking the bag from Duke, Jane asked out of habit, "Have Damien eaten?"Realizing her mistake, she forced a smile and thanked him.As she walked towards the gate with the bag, Duke reported to his boss, "I suspect the Madam may call to inquire about your lunch later."Jane knew she couldn't call Damien, as she didn't want to reveal her feelings for him.She couldn't even pinpoint when she had developed feelings for him - was it when he had rushed to her side after she fell on set, or when he had defended her from criticism in the parking lot?Or was it simply because he was handsome and wealthy, like many women were attracted to?She didn't know."Jane, the mushrooms fell on the table," Jonathan interrupted her thoughts with a frown.Jane quickly cleaned up the mess, but Jonathan could tell something was bothering her.Although she denied
Shortly after arriving at the medical center, Seth called Jane with some good news."I have some great news for you. IOC has agreed to endorse you."Jane was taken aback for a moment, then passed the peeled apple to Jonathan, and wiped her hands with a piece of paper."Okay.""I'll come to pick you up the day after tomorrow to sign the contract.""Sure!" Jane replied."By the way, I have already uncovered the Ciara fan responsible for throwing concentrated sulfuric acid on you."Jane was a little surprised and asked, "So, am I trending again?""Without a doubt!""Okay." Jane hung up and logged into Twitter, clicking on the trending page.Exclusive Celebrity Secret: While Ciara Tyla appears to be suppressing Jane Austen, her fans are secretly planning against her. Every icon has such followers. 【video】Jane clicked on the video. The footage was a little dark, and it showed the moment when Ciara's fan threw the acid at her. Damien's face was blurred as he kept his back to the camera thr
Jane was preoccupied, unable to sleep properly at night, and had a dream during the latter half of the night.In the dream, she clung to a man's body, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw the man's face clearly. Her expression changed dramatically, and she pushed him away abruptly.Jane suddenly woke up in bed, rubbed her head, and recollected the dream with an irritated expression on her face.What was going on? Why did she keep having such dreams lately? After lying down for a while, she sat up and checked her phone. It was already late.She got out of bed, went to the bathroom to freshen up, changed her attire, and headed downstairs.As she reached the stairs, she spotted Damien walking out of his room. Her expression altered slightly, and she looked away before rushing down the stairs.Just as Damien was about to speak to her, he saw her hastening downstairs. He smirked, was she still shy? he thought.At the dining t
Jane emerged from the shower and lay on the bed, suddenly recollecting how Seth had asked her to prepare a song.After pondering over it, she contacted Piper.Piper's lively voice answered the phone, "Hey girl.""It's quite late, I hope I didn't disturb you and your partner.""No, not at all. Tell me, what can I do for you?""I have progressed in the "Voice of Dreams" program, and I want to select one of your songs."The only songs she felt comfortable singing were those by Piper and Anderson."That's not a problem. We can discuss it when you perform. I'm not too busy these days, so I can give you some guidance.""In a week or two.""Okay, then I'll make plans to meet up with you."Jane sensed that Piper was about to hang up the phone and quickly said, "Piper, I have a private question.""Sure, go ahead."Jane hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is going through a difficult time lately. Whenever she talks to a boy, she gets teased, her face turns red, and her heart b
