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. She was only 18 or 19 at the time.Suddenly, photos of Winter linking arms with men and other more explicit photos

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. She thought she would be set for success with Charles's support, so why worry about the future?Winter did not waste any time. She went straight to Ethan at Whitemoor Company to ask him to break her contract. Sure, Winter was not the star she used to be, but Whitemoor had spent a lot of time and money making her famous. They were not too happy about letting her walk away for nothing.However, Winter had some powerful friends. The Shaw and Harris families knew she was close to Charles, who was a big deal in their circles. Thus, they decided to help Winter talk to the big boss at Whitemoor.The boss did not want to let Winter go at first, but he got a phone call in the middle of their discussion, and whatever he heard made him change his tune. He agreed to let Winter out of the contract, but Winter would have to pay to leave the company.The Shaw and Harris families were ready to do

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go

Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
