Chapter 261

Meanwhile, rumors about Hayden's secret marriage began to simmer on the internet. It all started quite simply with a Facebook user named ChicChatter who did not beat around the bush with her posts.[I've got some hot gossip for you, ladies and gents. Big shot of the entertainment industry, Hayden Hamilton, is hitched.]When this piece of information hit the screens, many casual spectators took one glance and could not even muster the interest to comment. ChicChatter's post fell on deaf ears. Undeterred, she sought out some micro-influencers, promising them payment to share her scoop. Her account was too new and lacked credibility, so no one paid any heed to her. It was not until she offered 500 dollars per post that a certain micro-influencer, GossipWhiz, responded.GossipWhiz : [Honestly, your price per post is pretty low. Fancy sweetening the pot?]ChicChatter: [How much more?]GossipWhiz: [A grand. I'll post it for a grand.]After a bit of consideration, ChicChatter agreed: [D

[Because nobody would buy a story about him making advances. After all, Hayden is the kind of clean-cut, quality man that women would kill for. He has plenty of women on tap; he'd never have to stoop to harassing someone.][But saying he's married? That's harder to believe than the end of the world today...][If we apply the detective novel paradigm to this scoop, isn't it that if all the impossible things are excluded, what's left, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth?][What are you babbling about? Why apply a detective novel perspective to this? It's clear the gossip is baseless.][Just drop it, folks. In a place like the entertainment industry, where truth and fiction intermingle, don't believe unverified rumors.][Who says it's unverified? Just because you think Hayden couldn't possibly be married, don't forget he's human, not a deity, okay? As a human, he's subject to feelings and desires. Didn't you remember the news about Hayden visiting Gigi's set a while ago? Perhaps

Wyneth: [Mmm.]The very next moment, Amelia made a video call. Without a second thought, Wyneth accepted. As the call connected, Amelia lounged on her desk, admiring Wyneth's stunning, just-woke-up visage."Damn, girl! How is it that you're this gorgeous?" Amelia teased, a mock pout on her face. "You wake up looking radiant when the rest of us would be greasy as hell.""Did you call just to flatter me?""Nah, I'm just bored. Otherwise, why would I be scrolling through Facebook? Oh, and all that stuff I said earlier, don't take it to heart, okay?""Sure, no problem.""Hold on, where are you?" Amelia's eyes narrowed, noting the decidedly un-feminine decor of the bed Wyneth was lounging in.Wyneth never kept secrets from Amelia. "I'm at the Hamilton residence.""The Hamilton residence?" Amelia repeated, her expression transforming into one of shock. "What are you doing there? You're not still sleeping there, are you? You two are over, right?""It's a long story."Amelia was impa

Chapter 264

"We owe each other nothing."Hayden, returning from his office, was informed by the maid that Wyneth was still sleeping, so he ascended the stairs. But just as he reached the door, he overheard Wyneth's proclamation. His hand froze on the door handle. 'We owe each other nothing? After all she did for me without me knowing, she doesn't think I owe her?'Hayden had not done anything for her. After coming out of coma, he was always busy with work. He had not even noticed she was living in the room next door until he inadvertently gave her room away. She left because she was wronged. Yet, she said now that they owed each other nothing. And, it seemed she held no grudges against him. Hayden should have been happy with this outcome. But inexplicably, not an ounce of joy bubbled up in him. On the contrary, the inexplicable flame inside him blazed even brighter. After a moment of thought, he twisted the doorknob and walked in.Wyneth, who was leaning against the bed making a phone call, loo

Observing the ideal timing, Wyneth chimed in, "By the way, I'm meeting my bestie for a shopping spree tomorrow. It's been several months since we last met, so I'll be spending the night at her place.""Spending the night at your bestie's? What sort of friend is she? Is it safe? There aren't any men in her house, are there?" Benedict was solely concerned about this."Don't worry, Grandpa, my bestie lives alone.""That's a relief. Go on then, have a blast." Having said that, Benedict seemed to recall something. He fumbled with his phone a bit but did not succeed, so he leaned over to Hayden for help. "What's going on here?"Hayden glanced at the phone, realizing Benedict was trying to make a bank transfer to Wyneth's account."You hit your daily transfer limit," he said nonchalantly. Then, he pulled out his own phone. "How much do you want to transfer?""5 million dollars... Wait, isn't 5 million dollars a bit too little? Make it 10 million dollars, quickly."The exchange between

Wyneth held her phone, her gaze lowered, presenting an image of innocence and docility in front of the elders.'So, it appears I've been played by her,' Hayden mused to himself. 'Is this her way of getting back at me for making her unblock me? Well then.' And with that, in the presence of Benedict, he transferred another 50 million dollars into Wyneth's account.Benedict had originally planned for 10 million dollars. Seeing that Hayden had transferred 50 million dollars, his mood instantly lightened. 'My grandson may not be a lost cause after all, even though I used to think he was clueless when it came to women. It seems he has finally wised up.' Not one to hog the limelight, when Wyneth's phone pinged, Benedict asked, all smiles, "Wyneth, have you received the pocket money I sent you?"Wyneth glanced at her phone—another deposit of 50 million dollars."Received it, Grandpa. Thank you.""Don't thank me just yet. I only sent you 10 million dollars. The rest is all from Hayden. Fro

As soon as Wyneth finished speaking, she rose from her seat, making her way past Hayden, when his voice halted her progress. "Have you ever even looked at the divorce agreement?"Hearing that, Wyneth's steps faltered momentarily before she sped up to leave. She did not need to read that thing, as she was not out for his money, just signing the papers to make their split official was enough. But once she returned to her room, she began to ponder, 'Why would he bring up the divorce agreement out of the blue? I left it in the drawer at the hotel when I returned to Acrofburg. I'll just take a look when I get back.'The following morning, Amelia's car was parked outside the Hamilton residence bright and early. She sat leaning on the steering wheel, stifling yawns and wiping away tears until she saw the two older individuals and a handsome man escorting Wyneth outside. Immediately, she brushed off her tears and exited the car."Grandma, Grandpa, you really didn't need to see me off, espec

After getting into the car, Amelia and Wyneth waved to the two seniors. "Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Sr., head on inside now." Amelia suggested, "While it's still early, you could catch a few more winks."Wyneth nodded in agreement. "Yes, head on inside." Then, she softened her voice and addressed Hayden, "Honey, why don't you lead Grandma and Grandpa back in?"The depth of Hayden's gaze darkened a smidgen, and he nodded. "Okay."After departing the Hamilton residence, Amelia merged her car onto the main road."Holy moly," she blurted out. "This is my first time receiving a gift just for meeting someone's parents! Do all you rich folks roll like this?"Wyneth, who had just received a 100 million dollars "gift" from Hayden, arched an eyebrow. "Perhaps?"Amelia clucked her tongue, then turned to her friend with widened eyes. "I mean, I just swung by to pick you up and I got a gift. Does that mean you...?"Wyneth nodded. "I've just been given some pocket change."Amelia's curiosity piqu

When she had first received the envelope, she had not thought much of it, even feeling a bit awkward about accepting it if it only contained a couple hundred. And yet, here she was holding a check for a million.'She actually received 1 million dollars as a greeting gift?' Wyneth seemed somewhat taken aback, though a moment later, a realization came to her, and she settled.Meanwhile, it seemed Amelia was only just coming to terms with the situation. She turned to Wyneth. "Darling, pinch me, quick." Being best friends for years, Wyneth did not hold back, promptly delivering the requested pinch. "Ouch!" Amelia yelped, almost shedding a tear. "Why'd it hurt so bad if this is just a dream?""Wake up, it's already bright outside."Rubbing her eyes, Amelia looked at the check before her and sniffled a bit. "So, I'm really holding a million dollars? Did I just strike it rich overnight?"Just then, the server brought their coffee. Wyneth poured them each a cup, casually saying, "1 millio

"If every time I go to the Hamilton residence, I receive an envelope, wouldn't that mean I wouldn't need to work anymore?" Amelia said.Finishing off the last bite of her sandwich, Wyneth swallowed and said, "There's no honor in reaping where you haven't sown.""I don't find it shameful. I've got thick skin." Having said that, Amelia purposely leaned in, nudging her face against Wyneth's. Wyneth pushed her away, but Amelia scooted closer, and the two girls enjoyed their playful banter. After breakfast, Amelia announced, "I'm feeling rich today. I'll ditch my boss and spend the entire day with you."Eventually, the two brought Wyneth's luggage back to her house before heading out again. Just as Wyneth and Amelia stepped out, a message from her manager, Shaun, pinged in.Shaun: [In Acrofburg?]Wyneth was sure she had not shared her itinerary with Shaun. Before she had the chance to question Shaun about how he knew she was in Acrofburg, Shaun sent a picture. As she opened the image,
