He stared at the screen of his phone for a long while before finally setting it aside, leaned back, and closed his eyes. 'It seems I can't do anything,' he thought.As this was happening, Shaun received a phone call."Shaun, the matter has been dealt with."Shaun was taken aback. "That quick?""Uh... " The voice on the other end hesitated. "All we needed to do was issue a statement. The rest... has been taken care of by someone else."Hearing this, Shaun felt something was off. "What do you mean 'only issue a statement'?""Well, when we went to post our statement, we noticed that all the rumor-spreading posts on gossip sites were deleted.""All of them? Deleted?""Yes. Did Luke do something?"Shaun pressed his lips together. 'Normally, the company directly handles Luke's affairs. All these years, his background was clear-cut, and while he did come from a privileged family, he typically refrained from pulling strings. Could it be...?' Shaun's mind clicked. 'There's only one per

Upon entering that name, a strange rush of adrenaline unexpectedly pulsated through Emma's veins. With today's happenings and this name put together, she oddly felt it must be this woman.The search instantly yielded results.Emma fixed her gaze on a woman's photo. She thought for a moment and proceeded to check her Facebook page which displayed an array of her images—promotional shots and personal life snaps. The personal photos confirmed Emma's suspicion that this woman was the same one she had seen that day in Hayden's office.Emma scrutinized the photo intensely.'It's definitely her.' She clenched her fingers around her phone, looking at the woman who had stirred feelings of inferiority within her for the first time.Emma, a promising starlet, was currently the company's most valuable talent. Not only was she beautiful, but her acting skills also set her apart in an industry filled with pretty faces. She was confident in her talent and success, which she knew was profitable f

Chapter 353

When Wyneth awoke, Yoyo heard her stir and groggily opened her eyes.Seeing her still in a sleepy haze, Wyneth said, "You should go back to sleep. I can get to the airport on my own.""How can I let that happen? It's rare that I'm not on set, so I have the opportunity to drive you to the airport. I'm taking you."Yoyo insisted, compelling a reluctant Wyneth to agree.On the way to the airport, Yoyo could not resist her gossipy instincts, asking, "Do you know someone at StarCrest Entertainment?"The question sent a jolt through Wyneth's heart, though she managed to keep her expression neutral, merely pursing her lips. "Why would you ask that?""Don't you know?" Yoyo asked dramatically, "Have you not looked at your phone since you woke up?""I have." Wyneth lifted her phone. "I checked my flight time this morning."Yoyo was flabbergasted, thinking, 'Truly, a rare breed.' She then said, "Yesterday, the trending post about you and Luke on Facebook was replaced by posts about all th

Before Wyneth's words had even left her mouth, Yoyo thought the same. She could only think that way. But now that Wyneth had spoken it, she felt it was unlikely again.'If Hayden had an interest in Wyneth, he wouldn't have sent Gigi all those gifts in front of her.' At this thought, Yoyo sighed. "Even though it seems impossible, something about this doesn't sit right with me. Can things really be this coincidental?"All Wyneth could do was laugh. "Some things are just amazingly coincidental.""That's true." Yoyo added afterward, "Do you think anyone else in the industry might think the same way I do?""Even if they did, they'd realize it's not possible eventually.""True, true."Yoyo did not press further, and yet the smile at the corner of Wyneth's lips faded a bit. 'What exactly is Hayden up to? It's not a coincidence that so many stars suddenly trended,' Wyneth wondered.That day, Wyneth returned to Acrofburg. As soon as she got off the plane, she received a call from Finn.

"How did it go?""Is there anything that I can't handle? Of course, she agreed with me."Anna could not help but sigh at Finn's smug expression. "Are you confident she was actually agreeing with you, or merely appeasing you?""How could she be...?" Finn trailed off, the unsettling realization that he may have been played dawning on him."Do you honestly believe she was sincerely agreeing with you all the time? We both know your sister has her own ideas and convictions," Anna countered, twisting the knife a little more. Finn clutched his chest dramatically, feigning pain at her words. Anna pressed on, "You can't control your sister's actions or thoughts anymore. She's grown up.""Enough about her. The company has refuted the rumors, claiming they're mere coincidence.""Given your familiarity with the artistes and the industry, how likely do you think such a coincidence is?""Zero."In the ensuing silence, Anna held Finn's gaze. After a heavy pause, she said, "Even if it is a cal

Chapter 356

As expected, upon hearing Wyneth's words, Matilda's face turned a sickly pale, her anger seemingly draining the color from her cheeks. She pointed at Wyneth, her poised and elegant matron persona dissolving. "You... how dare you..."Matilda's finger had already intruded far too close to Wyneth's face, stirring an unwanted prickle of unease within her. In the past, she had tolerated such behavior from Matilda out of respect for her as an elder. But now, that dynamic ha/d changed. Wyneth calmly pushed away Matilda's offending finger, a smile playing on her lips. However, the smile held a cold edge that was unnerving."What's wrong, Mrs. Hamilton?" Wyneth asked, her voice laden with faux-innocence. "You've always accused me of being overly materialistic, haven't you? So why do you seem surprised at my share of the family fortune? I did care for your son for three years after all. Regardless of merit, there was plenty of effort, right? Taking a bit of money seems only fair."Wyneth was

Benedict had always disliked Matilda, and she held a deep aversion toward him as well, so it was unlikely she would seek his counsel. Ultimately, she could only bite her lip and turn to leave. But as she stepped outside, she ran right into Hayden, who had just returned from work.Her face instantly broke into a smile. "Hayden."Seeing Matilda, Hayden's brow furrowed. "What brings you here, Mom?" He had just heard that Wyneth had taken a flight back to Acrofburg today, and even saw a taxi leaving the Hamilton residence when he returned. Few people would take a taxi to this part of town, so he suspected that must be the car Wyneth had called from the airport. And now, he had encountered Matilda here. Just yesterday she had come to his company asking about the divorce agreement."I came to check on your grandparents." Matilda stepped forward, appearing as if she intended to adjust Hayden's collar. "You're always running off to this place. Your grandparents are getting on in years, don'

Chapter 358

Matilda's view of Wyneth started to sour. She had people dig into Wyneth's background, but they came back empty-handed. Her past was squeaky clean. Following that, Matilda's resentment toward Wyneth was an ever-growing, ever-thickening knot in her heart. Every day that Hayden did not wake was a day her resentment grew further, solidifying her suspicions that Wyneth was not genuinely interested in her son but had come to the Hamilton family because she was helpless and alone. The feeling metastasized, Wyneth's name becoming synonymous with every negative idea and unkind word.When Hayden finally woke, three years later, gratitude toward Wyneth was not what she felt. She held the belief that Wyneth had somehow hindered Hayden's recovery, thinking that had they chosen a different woman, perhaps Hayden would have awoken sooner. It would not have taken three long, arduous years. So, she desired nothing more than to see Wyneth pack her things and leave the Hamilton family. To pay her some m

Upon hearing her words, Hayden's deep black eyes locked onto her face, his voice icy. "Putting it on... does that mean...?" He left his question hanging, and Wyneth had no intention to guess his meaning. "It means you've kept your word—you said you'd help me find it and you did."Caught off guard, Hayden loosened his grip. Wyneth broke free and stepped back. "Thanks." Remembering something, she said, "I recall that protective charm cost you a pretty penny at the auction, right? I'll pay you back for it, but I can't quite remember the exact amount, you—"Before she could finish, Hayden laughed scornfully. "So, not only didn't you open it, you can't even remember the price?"Upon hearing that, Wyneth froze, looking at Hayden with wide eyes."Do I repulse you that much?" he asked.Even though they had divorced, she still did not find Hayden repulsive. It was just that she never liked looking back. She tried not to pay attention to anything related to him.Seeing her silence, Hayden

Shaun: [Anyway, this is a great opportunity. After playing this role, you'll get to be the lead in the next film. Once the variety show airs, your popularity will skyrocket.]After chatting with Shaun, Wyneth checked the time and pursed her lips. It seemed rather late, but she wanted to call Bruce to understand what was really happening. Shortly after dialing, Bruce picked up."Hello." Bruce's voice was icy, emotionless.Upon hearing his voice, Wyneth instinctively wanted to address him, but something held her back. She glanced at Hayden, engrossed in his work on the couch. Under the monitor's light, his face seemed sharper.'Will my call disturb his work?' she thought, then told Bruce, "Hold on a sec," and slipped off the bed with her phone. Slipping on her shoes, she headed for the balcony, unaware that Hayden's attention had shifted from his laptop to her departure.'She's sneaking off to make a call? With a man? Is it the same man that was questioning about her relationships p
