Ruby came back to her senses and looked meaningfully at Cade Zachmann, the man from the publicity department who was trying to get more information out of her. She shrugged. "Nothing much, just that this Noelle Shaw is not to be underestimated. From now on, we have to listen to her. Didn't you hear Mr. Hoffman say he himself would have to listen to her?"Cade did not take it seriously. "I think Mr. Hoffman was just saying that. She's just a woman..." He saw Ruby's expression change. Realizing his mistake, he quickly patted his mouth. "Haha, I'm just joking. But didn't Mr. Hoffman ask you to stay back earlier?""It was about the new drama. He asked me to appease Mr. Chevalier. That Winter is really something...""I heard about that too. You know, suddenly bringing in someone like her... Wait, Winter Shaw, and that woman is called Noelle Shaw? What's their relationship?""Nothing at all!" Ruby had not forgotten what Charles had said earlier. Since he had asked her to stay back on

Winter thought her role was already secured. After all, she believed that being associated with Charles meant getting a part in a drama was just a matter of him making a call.However, Winter had oversimplified things. The day after her audition, her confidence in securing the role was shattered by yet another scandal.Miles, the director of the drama, was dissatisfied with Winter to begin with. This new scandal only made things worse.The trouble began right after Winter's audition. Despite her displeasure with Ruby, a producer of Royal Star Entertainment, she believed she had managed her relationship well.Yet that evening, news about her past resurfaced on Facebook and entertainment forums. Winter had previously managed to suppress those stories, but this time, more explosive news emerged.Years ago, Winter had gone to Maldoria to shoot a film for an entire year.

Julian was busy when he heard Jade's question. He frowned. "What could be the matter? She's always either busy with one thing or another... Didn't Charles already agree to help her? "I'm swamped here, and the old man is still in the hospital. You and Winter shouldn't add to my troubles!"Jade felt upset upon hearing this, thinking that he was always blaming everything on her. She wanted to retort but then remembered Winter's anxious demeanor. Jade quickly went online, and upon seeing the indecent photos of her daughter, she felt devastated. "No! We can't let Winter be ruined by this! We can't!"As Winter's scandal continued to spread, the internet was buzzing with discussions about her behavior. People felt betrayed by Winter.She had always portrayed a pure and innocent image, which was the main reason her fans adored her. They affectionately called her 'Princess Winter', praising her perfect demeanor and graceful presence.However, with these photos and videos surfacing, Wint

Winter thought for a long time but could not figure out who would hate her enough to do this."I don't know what to do either. Mr. Lason has already left, Winter. You need to prepare yourself mentally.""What do you mean? Aren't you my agent? Think of something! Are you just going to let them continue like this? My career is—" Winter's words were cut short by the ringing of her phone. Seeing it was Xavier's number, her hand trembled.Jane noticed it, and her eyes flashed. "Take the call. It's your fiancé."Winter's hand shook for a long time before she took a deep breath and answered. "Hello, Xavier..." Her voice was pitiful and trembling, carrying a tone that could elicit sympathy.Nonetheless, Xavier was not in the state of mind to be sympathizing with her. His dissatisfaction with Winter had been growing, and now, there was yet another problem. "What's going on with you? My phone has been ringing off the hook since early morning, all from entertainment reporters. Previously

Power?Winter's perspective shifted. "Yes, I have to find someone with the power to suppress the news. That's the plan!"Winter suddenly felt invigorated. "Jane, call Ruby and say... Never mind, I'll do it myself."Winter called Ruby, who had just seen the news about Winter. Ruby did not know what to think of Winter anymore.Ruby had received orders from Charles the previous day to keep Winter on board. From Charles and Noelle's conversation, Ruby gleaned some understanding of why. When Winter called, Ruby played hard to get.As she needed help, Winter was much more humble than the previous day."Ms. Clark, could we meet?""Ms. Shaw, you know how busy I am right now, right? And shouldn't you be dealing with your situation?" Ruby had seen the news about Winter and felt even more disdain for her."Ms. Clark, please don't misunderstand. The things online aren't true. Can we meet to discuss this? Or could you give me Mr. Hoffman's number? Mr. Wells' number would work too." Winter t

Xavier reached out and stroked Winter's silky hair. "I understand. I'll speak on your behalf, but this is the last time.""Alright. I love you, Xavier!" Winter kissed Xavier on the lips. "Do you want more?"Xavier's eyes darkened, but he shook his head. "We'll continue tonight."Xavier made his way to Collosus once again for Winter's sake. However, Charles was not as accommodating. In fact, Xavier could not see Charles right away.He waited at Collosus for an entire afternoon before Charles finally arrived.Although Xavier felt frustrated, he could not show it since he was the one seeking help."Two cups of coffee," Charles ordered through the intercom, instructing his secretary to bring two cups. He then squinted slightly, a smile playing on his lips as he motioned for Xavier to sit down.For some reason, every time Xavier saw Charles, he felt a sense of trepidation. He was always feeling inferior in Charles' presence."Sit," Charles said, his lips curling into a smile. "It se

"Go ask her if she wants to join Royal Star Entertainment," Charles said in an icy voice. Xavier was taken aback. He did not expect Charles to make such an offer. "Charles, are you really going to sign Winter?""She'll need to come here to discuss it herself. If she's interested, she should see Ronald. He's the one in charge of everything at Royal Star Entertainment. If you come to me, all I can do is introduce you two," Charles explained."Got it. Thanks," Xavier said, understanding what he needed to do.Xavier left feeling a bit rattled. He had braced himself for a tough conversation, but Charles had been unexpectedly bold.Winter rushed over to Xavier as soon as she saw him. "Xavier, what happened? Did Charles say yes?"He nodded, and Winter hugged him tightly, beaming with joy. "Dear, I just knew it would work out! You're the best," she said and quickly kissed Xavier.Xavier, a bit overwhelmed by Winter's excitement, gently pushed her back. "Don't celebrate too soon. Charles

No one knew what Winter's face would look like when she found out, but she was feeling great for now.

Liliana's arm throbbed where Sean had grabbed it, but she bit her lip, refusing to give in. "I didn't do it on purpose. I had no idea she invited you.""Oh, you didn't know? Isn't she supposed to be your best friend?" Sean's voice was edged with sarcasm. "Or maybe this was your plan all along?""I didn't!" Liliana felt a tightness in her chest at his accusation.She pulled her arm free from his grasp, her face twisted with both anger and shame. "I truly didn't know.""Who knows what the truth is?" Sean said with a light laugh, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Tania doesn't know about us, and you think you're in the dark too? What if Tania found out who you really are? Would she...""Don't."Liliana's voice was loud and full of panic. "Please don't tell Tania." Deep down, she was being selfish. She did not want Tania to find out about her secrets.When she first became friends with Tania, all she wanted was a simple friendship. She did not want Tania to know about her embarrassi

Tania's lips quivered, as if she wanted to say more, but seeing Liliana so determined, she held back.However, as Tania paid, she leaned in and whispered something to the cashier, then scribbled down an address. "Make sure it gets here, okay?"Tania settled the bill, grabbed the shopping bags, and linked arms with Liliana as they headed out. "Liliana, you're joining me for dinner tonight!"No backing out this time. You've canceled on me too many times already.""Okay, fine!"Liliana had no idea that Tania's dinner invitation also included Peter. If she had known, she would have stayed far away. When Liliana returned from the restroom, she found not just Tania and Peter, but also Sean sitting there. Her first instinct was to turn around and leave.She was about to do just that, her foot already inching backward, when Tania caught sight of her. "Liliana, where are you off to? We're right here!"Frozen in place, Liliana could not seem to move a muscle.Standing with her back to th

Seeing Joanna in a new light, her friend still tried to be supportive. "Joanna, don't listen to that lady's wild stories. You and Mr. Smith are the perfect pair. You’re both so smart and good-looking. Everyone at the hospital is jealous of you guys! I bet she doesn't even know Mr. Smith, and she probably doesn't have a rich boyfriend either!"As she spoke, Joanna's friend watched her closely. She saw Joanna's worry fade away after her words. Joanna replied with a hint of frustration, "I don't know why she said that. I wasn’t even in the same faculty as her, but we were involved in a school event together once. We were in a competition together back then. I never thought she cared about it that much!"Joanna mentioned the school beauty contest she and Tania were in, suggesting there might be some old rivalry between them.Joanna's friend knew exactly what was happening. She was getting to see all the drama for free but did not want to call Joanna out. After all, they were coworkers a

"Look, you’re my junior.” Joanna had not expected Tania to say something like that in front of her friend. It was impossible for her to maintain her dignity at this point.What would her friend think if she owned up to it? If she denied it, what was Tania going to do?Tania watched Joanna's face turn beet red, a smile playing on her lips the whole time.Truth be told, Tania did not have beef with Joanna. However, she was Peter's girlfriend, and she knew Sean, so she could not stand watching Joanna strut around, lying and using Sean's good name."Look, Joanna, I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I just think your friend isn’t really thinking about how you feel, you know? You say you're single, yet she's out here telling everyone you're taken. How's that going to help you find a real boyfriend, right?"Joanna's nails were digging into her skin, but she did not even notice. She was drowning in embarrassment, and it was all Tania's fault."I don't know what I did to make you mad,

Joanna looked a bit upset. She was used to being the star everywhere she went, with everyone always fussing over her.However, Tania and Liliana did not seem to notice her at all.Tania slipped out of her dress and had it neatly packaged. She strolled over to a quiet corner and began flipping through a magazine.Meanwhile, Joanna and her friend were browsing through racks of clothes, chatting about which ones were the prettiest. Joanna's friend could not stop mentioning Sean, insisting that Joanna would look stunning in certain outfits and that Sean would surely be impressed.Tania watched Joanna with a smirk and called out, "Hey, Joanna!"Joanna and her friend paused and turned to Tania. "What's going on?" Joanna asked."Oh, nothing, really. I’m just curious—Joanna, are you and Mr. Smith together now?" Tania asked with feigned innocence. "I thought Sean turned you down before!""You...""Turned her down? Don't make things up. Our Joanna and Mr. Smith are very much an item!" Jo

The woman with Joanna gushed, "You're so lucky! Your boyfriend Sean is so handsome and rich, and your future mother-in-law adores you too!""Please, you're making me blush. Sean and I aren't even official yet." Joanna laughed off the compliment."It's only a matter of time. Everyone at the hospital knows you two are an item. And your future mother-in-law is so generous, showering you with gifts. You wouldn't believe how many people are green with envy!""You're making it sound too good to be true!"As Liliana overheard Joanna and the woman's conversation about Sean, she felt like a creep for eavesdropping.Yes, Sean had been with Joanna for a while. Where did that leave Liliana?She had been with Sean, which explained why he was so cold that day. He must have really disliked her, or else it would not have made sense.Liliana squeezed her hands together, trying hard not to eavesdrop on Joanna and the other woman's chat.

Adalee called, but Sean did not even look back.Adalee's brows knitted together in worry. She rushed to Liliana's door and called, "Liliana? Liliana?"Adalee did not hear Liliana answer, so she knocked again. "Liliana, are you in there?"After Sean left, Liliana could not stop the tears from coming. However, she did not let herself cry loudly. It was just a quiet, steady sob.When she heard the knock at the door, Liliana quickly stopped crying.She bit her lip, hurried to put on her clothes, and dried her eyes.Adalee waited outside, not leaving before she heard from Liliana.
