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
"Director, it’s almost eight o’clock, and the female lead hasn’t arrived yet. What should we do?"Director Quentin frowned. He had anticipated Roxanne might cause problems, but he hadn't expected her to be late on the very first day."Start shooting Xavier and Wythe’s scenes first!" Quentin instructed, clearly displeased.The supporting actors, who didn’t have scenes to shoot yet, had already started gossiping."Who does she think she is, arriving later than Xavier? Just because she has some money?""Exactly! It’s only the first day, and she’s already trying to make a statement.""She’s just gross!"Meanwhile, Xavier and Wythe had begun their makeup sessions. Xavier, given his status, had his own makeup room, while Wythe was assigned to a different room.The scene they were about to shoot involved Wythe intentionally messing up his appearance to provoke Xavier's character.Consequently, Wythe’s makeup was deliberately exaggerated, making him look like a little rascal despite his young
Two days later, Ronald visited the set and brought plenty of food and drinks for the crew.The staff praised his generosity, and Wythe was delighted, chatting with Ronald about various amusing things happening on set."Amélie, how's Wythe doing? If he's too tired, let me know anytime, and I'll arrange for the director to give him a couple of days off. After all, he's still a kid, and we can't have him getting exhausted!"Touched by Ronald's genuine concern, Lydia smiled, "Don't worry, Wythe is doing great. I've heard from Wuxin that you're about to have exams soon. How's the preparation going?"Lydia hadn't forgotten that her godbrother was still a student.Ronald coughed awkwardly and rubbed his nose, looking innocent. "Amélie, can we not talk about that? Mom and Dad have been on my case about it, along with my older siblings! If I don't do well this time, they'll probably eat me alive!"Seeing Ronald's troubled expression, Lydia couldn't help but laugh. "You're lucky to have people
The experienced members of the crew quickly realized that Roxanne was doing this on purpose!Standing by the shore, Lydia’s face turned icy cold.Her fingers clenched into a fist, and she bit her lip, trying hard to suppress her anger.Director Quentin Qian was furious from all the repeated takes.He pointed at Roxanne’s nose and yelled, "Can you act or not? If not, get lost!"Roxanne sneered inwardly.Seeing Wythe's face turn pale and Lydia's expression pained, she finally relented a bit and managed to pass the scene on the sixth take.As soon as Wythe emerged from the water, Lydia rushed over to wrap him in a large towel, drying him off from head to toe.She was incredibly relieved that she had come prepared today; otherwise, the child would likely have caught a cold.Just as Lydia finished tending to Wythe, Roxanne walked over with a smug look on her face.She glanced at Lydia and snorted, "How did that feel, Lydia?"Lydia clenched her fist, her emotions nearly boiling over.Roxann
Lydia sneered, "If I apologize today, it would set a bad example for Wythe. I don't want my son to grow up unable to distinguish right from wrong! If you insist, then Wythe and I will both quit!"Director Quentin Qian was stunned into silence. Lydia's words were not just empty threats. Since Wythe entered the entertainment industry, she had regretted it.While it was a way to reunite with Lambert quickly, the thought of her young son facing flattery and criticism, possibly even being scorned by many, pained her deeply.Moreover, they weren't short on money. There was no need for Wythe to suffer like this.Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a luxury car stopped outside the set.A frantic and angry voice echoed before the person even appeared, "Who hit my sister?"Lydia looked up to see a tall, rugged man striding over.Roxanne's face lit up at the sound, then immediately turned pitiful, "Big brother~"The sugary tone made the crew nauseous. If only she used this acting skill for the sc
Roxanne’s reply was dismissive, her thoughts scoffing at the idea.If Lydia continued to get close to Ronald, Roxanne was determined to defend her love at any cost.On the other side, Ronald arrived at the set after receiving a call. Although the situation seemed resolved, his presence made Director Quentin even more cautious about Wythe.Despite hearing that Wythe was favored by the Arliss family, even becoming Thera’s godson, Quentin had been skeptical.But now, seeing Ronald personally show up, he realized the boy's connection to the Arliss family was no exaggeration.As Wythe continued to work hard to raise his profile, Lambert and Odelia returned from their trip abroad, entering the Halsey estate one after the other.Nydia was pleased to see Lambert, but Odelia’s uneasy expression made her anxious.After dinner, Nydia kept Odelia behind, while Lambert was called to the study by his father, Odgen.In the study, father and son sat facing each other, their expressions serious. After
Lambert, feeling irritable, parked his car in front of a large plaza, got out, and lit a cigarette.The smoke helped to temporarily ease his troubled thoughts. As he looked up, he noticed a large TV screen in the center of the plaza playing a children’s clothing commercial.The boy in the ad immediately caught his attention.Perhaps it was because he knew he was going to be a father, and he often found himself imagining what his child might look like.But the boy on the screen struck him hard, especially because the child’s face looked so much like his own.Who is he?This thought took root in Lambert’s mind, quickly growing like a seed.He suddenly remembered Lydia, the woman who had approached him earlier and claimed they had a five or six-year-old child together.Could this boy on the screen, who looked like a little prince, be their child?Lambert couldn’t shake the thought and found himself becoming increasingly attached to the idea.As it turned out, the commercial he saw was in
