All Chapters of Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Ever since Lauren had learned of Finn's arrival on set and his confirmed participation in the show, she had been in a state of blissful stupefaction. Now, even as she sat in her room, the reality of it had not fully sunk in. After what felt like an eternity, she turned to Wyneth. "Do you know what it feels like?"Wyneth blinked in response. "Huh?""It's like a dream come true. Can you imagine that?" Lauren cradled her face in her hands. "My manager would be over the moon if she knew. Finn! It's Finn! I didn't think I'd be on a variety show with him so soon after entering the industry. I just hope he isn't difficult to work with. He's a top-tier celebrity. Won't he look down on us newcomers?""He won't," Wyneth asserted. "He's pretty easy-going.""Really?""Mhmm.""But, how do you know—"Before she could finish her question, there was a knock on the door."It's late... must be the staff. I haven't taken off my makeup yet, I'll go." With that, Lauren jumped up and flung open the

The next day, Wyneth and Lauren rose and spent the better part of the morning tidying up. It was past 6:00 a.m. and there was no sign of the show's crew coming to knock for filming."Why haven't they come by today? Maybe they've learned their manners after yesterday's fiasco?"Wyneth chuckled at the comment. The showrunners wanted to capture female stars in their natural state for the shock factor. But now, they had Finn. There was no longer anything more sensational than Finn. All in all, other gimmicks paled in comparison to the draw of a top-tier celebrity. Wyneth kept her thoughts to herself, merely saying, "Let's step outside and see.""Okay."Lauren followed her out. Just as they crossed into the courtyard, they spotted a familiar face—Giada. Compared to yesterday, her makeup today was more vibrant, her heels even higher. It was clear that she had put in effort to look her best. They saw her standing there, peering inside with an expression of eager anticipation."Giada?" As

If they were to pair up, given the current gender ratio, the most logical combination would be one man and one woman per team. Otherwise, the discrepancy in physical strength might be too glaring. Among the three female guests, Giada had a penchant for pulling rank, and her attitude from yesterday left a sour taste in everyone's mouth—no one wanted her on their team. Lauren, on the other hand, was young and prone to complaints. Not knowing much about each other, most gravitated toward Wyneth, whose calm and poised demeanor marked her as the best choice.When Lauren saw Wyneth pair up with Derek, a wave of panic seized her. Though she had only just met Wyneth, she had found herself leaning on Wyneth's calm demeanor throughout their journey together, feeling a burgeoning sense of reliance. She had initially hoped to pair up with Finn—the dream team being herself, Wyneth, and Finn. But now, with Wyneth and Derek paired up, anxiety got the best of her. "Isn't two people per team a little

The ranch's cart was primarily used for hauling goods, its rear end a typical mess. However, because of Finn's involvement, the staff had thoroughly cleaned the back seat overnight, even laying out a clean, attractive cushion. While Finn looked displeased at the sight of it, the others, especially Lauren, were pleasantly surprised."I thought we'd be riding in some dirty oxcart when they mentioned it, but this is actually pretty clean," Lauren said.Wyneth did not respond. It was evident the show's team had hastily prepared and cleaned this oxcart specifically for Finn. But, clean or not, it was a cargo cart, with no proper seating—only cushions. And one had to hop up to get on it.As team leader, Derek was the first to hop on. Turning back to Wyneth standing before him, he extended a hand. "Come on."Finn's gaze hardened. 'This little punk!' Just as Wyneth was about to reach for Derek's hand, Finn could not stand it any longer. He rushed forward, sweeping Wyneth's hand into his ow

As the destination approached, Giada was overcome with an insurmountable feeling of irritation, keen to unleash her fury. But due to Finn's involvement in the show, she felt obliged to suppress her emotions. Instead, she softened her voice, pleading with an air of melancholy, "I'm not blessed with a strong constitution, you know. It's not like I asked for this. Can't you help me out?"Harry was truly vexed. He, too, wished to vent his frustrations, but the ever-present camera crew forced him to swallow his anger. With him being the only young male in the team, he grudgingly circled back to Giada and asked, in a stereotypically blunt male fashion, "What kind of help are you expecting? It's not like I can carry you, right?"The very idea of having him carry her had indeed crossed Giada's mind but seeing Harry's apparent revulsion nipped that thought in the bud. 'Who does he think he is? I'd rather have Finn carry me if it came to that. What's Harry to me anyway?' With a sweet smile, Gi
