Having successfully breached the security system of the Halsey mansion, the next step was to create some chaos.But he wouldn't agree to be trapped here unless he was forced to! He wasn't in the habit of being kidnapped and then paying ransom!Twenty minutes later, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the Halsey estate. Nydia, in the villa, immediately stood up. "Butler, what's happening? Why is the alarm going off?"The butler quickly sent someone to investigate.The report came back swiftly, stating it was just an accidental incident.However, before everyone could relax, another alarm sounded from elsewhere.The successive alarms made Nydia's face turn unpleasant. "What's going on? Did someone break in?"The entire Halsey estate was in chaos. Not only were the alarms malfunctioning, but all the circuits and surveillance systems were also offline!Unaware of Nydia's actions, Wythe, playing on his computer in his room, quickly left. With his small stature, he darted through the bushes
Seeing Wythe get out of Ronald's car left Lydia momentarily stunned. What was happening?Wythe, however, quickly regained his composure. “Ronald, I know my mom is very beautiful, but it's not polite to stare like that! Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?”Ronald nodded eagerly, like a pecking chicken. “Yes, yes, yes!”Wythe rolled his eyes.Although this newly acknowledged big brother seemed smart, he often seemed intellectually challenged, especially around beautiful women.Before Ronald realized it, he found himself inside Wythe's cozy little villa. He sat on the sofa, taking in the warm, homely atmosphere. It was a place that instantly felt like home.“Amélie, I didn't expect Wythe to be your child!” Ronald exclaimed.“Neither did I. Thank you so much for bringing him back,” Lydia replied, grateful yet worried about Wythe’s venture to find Lambert.Although he seemed unharmed, Lydia feared the Halsey family might try to take him away.Ronald, observing the mother and son
Ronald was taken aback for a moment, then smiled warmly. “As you wish!”While Ronald brought Wythe back home, the chaos in the Halsey estate was finally being sorted out. When Nydia returned to her room, she was stunned to find Wythe missing.The computer screen was on, displaying a letter.“Dear Grandpa and Grandma, thank you for your kindness. After careful consideration, I’ve decided to stay with my mom. Although I want to go abroad to see my dad, it’s clear you wouldn’t agree to let my mom and me go together. So, I have to go back. Sorry for breaking the security system, but it will be restored in two hours. Don’t worry! Wythe.”Nydia had mixed feelings. On one hand, she was proud of her clever grandson.On the other, she was saddened by the distance in their relationship.More than anything, she regretted not being able to keep such a brilliant child close.But soon, they would have another grandson. They were determined to raise him well, hoping he’d be as smart as Wythe.Eagerl
Ronald made sure to arrange for the top agents in the company, as well as a personal assistant, to help Wythe.Lydia, still worried, accompanied Wythe full-time as his assistant.Due to Wythe's lack of prior exposure to music and dance, he had to undergo intensive training.Watching her son work hard brought tears to Lydia’s eyes more than once.If it weren’t for her, Wythe wouldn’t have to endure such hardships.Ronald’s entertainment company, Starburst Entertainment, was quite reputable.Being the pampered scion of the Arliss family, Ronald naturally drew a lot of attention.His numerous rumored relationships with female celebrities kept him in the media spotlight.Recently, however, his uncharacteristic reclusiveness had piqued the curiosity of journalists.Everyone speculated about what Ronald was up to, given that he hadn't made headlines in half a month. Even the Arliss family was curious, especially Ronald’s sister, Thera.She found it unbelievable that her brother, who changed
Lydia felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to the conversation between Thera and Ronald.Ronald, meanwhile, couldn't help but laugh bitterly."Thera, what are you thinking? Amélie and I don't have that kind of relationship!"Thera frowned. "Amélie? Where have I heard that name before?"She scrutinized Lydia's face again, then suddenly widened her eyes in excitement. Taking a step forward, she exclaimed, "Are you Amélie? The one who won the Golden Scissors Award?"Lydia was momentarily puzzled.What was going on? Thera had just looked at her as if she were an enemy, and now her attitude had completely changed?"Yes, I'm Amélie, or rather, my English name is Lydia. And this is my son, Wythe."Thera's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Lydia, as if she had just discovered a precious treasure. She grabbed Lydia's hand."Amélie, I can't believe I'm meeting you! Our family is such a big fan of yours. Your designs are absolutely stunning!"Feeling a bit awkward, Lydia withdrew her hand. "Tha
Amidst the various speculations and expectations from netizens and fans, the concert finally began!Samuel had already interacted with Wythe, showing great affection for this soon-to-debut junior.After all, who would dare to offend the relatives of the company's boss?Especially when the magazine's female tycoon had personally come to check the little guy's makeup!With top makeup artists, first-class managers, and even assistants from the Arliss family, who were originally there to serve the boss, Wythe was set up for success!Such a lineup practically guaranteed his popularity!Lydia stood nervously backstage, but Wythe seemed calm.Dressed in a red performance outfit with light makeup on his fair face, he exuded perfection, especially when he deliberately pursed his lips and looked serious. His demeanor was commanding!Thera stepped forward and pinched his little cheek. "Wythe, don't be nervous. We believe in you! You're so adorable; everyone is going to love you!"Wythe nodded, h
Within Starburst Entertainment, there was already a signed twelve-year-old child star, a very talented girl.However, Ronald decided to give this opportunity to Wythe.So, it was necessary for them to come, even if Wythe wasn't selected.Lydia sat beside Wythe, filled with confidence in her son.In her view, Wythe had a high chance of succeeding.After all, having grown up by her side, Wythe was exceedingly familiar with the fashion and modeling industry."Wythe, don't be nervous. Mommy believes in you!"Wythe nodded. "Don't worry, Mommy. I will do my best!"Just as he finished speaking, they heard a scoff nearby. Wythe turned to see a ten-year-old boy looking at him disdainfully. "Where did you come from? You look like an inexperienced bumpkin! Do you even know how to pose and shoot? You should just go home and drink your milk!"The mocking tone was clear. The woman accompanying the boy merely smiled at Lydia without offering any apology, seemingly sharing the same sentiment.Lydia's
"Mr. Arliss, what made you decide to debut Wythe, considering how young he looks?"Ronald pulled Wythe close. "Because I had an instant connection with little Wythe! Some people are just born to shine, and I'm someone who loves to share that kind of brilliance.""And Wythe, why did you decide to enter the entertainment industry? Is it because you like it?"The microphone was passed to Wythe, whose usually composed and cute face showed a hint of difficulty for the first time, especially in his eyes, which seemed to conceal some unspoken sorrow.Seeing this, the reporters held their breaths. "Is it a question you can't answer?""Of course not!" Wythe finally spoke, glancing at Ronald for approval. Seeing Ronald's nod, he continued."Actually, I'm doing it to prove myself."This statement sparked murmurs among the crowd. What did such a young child need to prove?Wythe lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes trembling, evoking a sense of pity.His face, usually devoid of expression
