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.

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
Odgen Halsey thought that no matter how popular Wythe became, he was just a child and couldn't stir up too much trouble.However, he grossly underestimated the power of public sentiment.Many people began boycotting Halsey family products spontaneously.One day, Odgen went to the company headquarters to attend a meeting called by the shareholders.When he arrived, he found not only the shareholders but also several Halsey family elders."Odgen's here!" The first to speak was Sandy, Odgen's uncle and one of the senior Halsey family elders, highly respected among them and seldom appearing unless the matter was significant.Odgen felt a sense of foreboding."Since everyone is here, let's begin," Sandy said, with no one daring to object."We’ve gathered to discuss the recent scandal that has severely impacted our company. How should we handle it?"Odgen's usually gentle expression turned slightly grim. He quickly composed himself, maintaining a warm smile."Uncle, I understand your concer
Late at night, Lambert often thought about the woman who had thrown a ring at him—Lydia.She supposedly had a son, but there was no further information. Even her claim that they were married had no evidence to back it up.Despite this, Lambert decided to continue investigating, driven by an inexplicable feeling that he needed to understand.He hadn’t discarded the ring but kept it safely, believing he would someday place it on someone's finger again.Whether that person was his current fiancée was still uncertain.Seeing Lambert's silence, Odelia sighed and walked slowly to his side. "Forget it, Lambert. I won’t push you anymore. I was wrong to rush you knowing you’ve lost your memory. But can you understand how I feel? My fiancé suddenly doesn’t remember anything and even avoids me. It’s really heartbreaking."She leaned closer, wearing a strapless dress that accentuated her figure, with her fair skin highlighted by the black fabric and her hair cascading in waves, adding a touch of
