Chapter: 210: Troublesome PeopleFilming was scheduled to begin at 5:00 a.m., and the production crew had already started preparing the set at 3:00 a.m.Every staff member setting up the cameras, checking the lights, and arranging the props moved sluggishly, their exhaustion evident. During filming, they barely got any sleep. The crew was already behind schedule, so they had been cutting into their rest just to shoot more scenes.A staff member moving props complained, dark circles under his eyes. “How many days has it been? Ever since I arrived here, I’ve only been getting four hours of sleep.”“Good for you. At least you have four hours. I only got two!” Another staff member replied while lifting a prop beside him. The dark circles under his eyes were darker than the person before him. He sighed dejectedly, “But what can we do? We’re already behind schedule. The production team has only rented this place for three more days, so everyone’s rushing.”“If Sir Jack weren’t so picky and Mrs. Medina stopped roasting peop

Chapter: 209: The villain and the ghostWhen Manager Fang returned, it was already close to evening. The production team had been so busy that she waited a long time before she could finally speak with the producer and director. By the time she obtained everything she needed, the sun had already set.She was a little worried that Danice might have gotten bored—or even angry—after being made to wait for so long. On the way back, she thought about how she could salvage the situation. Fortunately, she had already asked the caretaker to deliver meals to their room on time. At the very least, Danice wouldn’t go hungry. Even so, she still worried she might have something thrown at her the moment she stepped inside.But when she entered the room, there were no flying objects—nor was there a sharp glare or harsh tone waiting for her.“You’re back. Come, let’s eat first.” Danice was arranging the table with two plates, two glasses, and utensils. Steam curled up from the hot dishes.Manager Fang stood frozen in the doorway, speechles

Chapter: 208: Filming in Small TownJust as Sophia had suspected, Yvette was not doing well either. Like Sophia, she had only learned that Danice was part of the film—and that she was playing the role of Nathaniel—when the movie was released. Yvette hadn’t attended the premiere because it conflicted with a press conference for an international dance competition.So when she finally watched the movie and saw Danice’s face on the screen, she was utterly shocked. By then, it was already too late to do anything.Her anger-filled gaze shifted to Sophia, “Cousin, you and Danice are in the same department. You were there when she met Director Choi. So why did he choose her instead of you?” Her lips curved into a smile that wasn’t genuine. “Danice’s success today can only be blamed on you. You weren’t good enough and ended up becoming her stepping stone”She continued lightly, “I also heard you lost the crown to her. If it were in my department, that thing wouldn’t even have stepped onto the stage while I was around.”Sophia cl

Chapter: 207: EnvyThe three watched as Manager Fang left. Hans nudged Jenny.“I thought you disliked her. Why did you give her the key?”Jenny snorted.When security had called her about the people harassing Danice by camping in front of their door, she had checked the CCTV footage. That was when she noticed the woman lingering nearby. At first, Jenny thought she was a stalker with ill intentions.Only later did she realize the woman was merely watching.Whenever those people threw trash or deliberately made a mess in front of their door, Jenny saw the woman quietly sneak over, clean it up, and then leave without a word.That scene left an impression on her.She had wanted to tell Danice about it, but before she could, Danice had already told them that she had hired Manager Fang as her PA. If Jenny hadn’t seen the CCTV footage, she would have strongly opposed Danice’s decision—and would have insisted on dragging this woman to court instead of giving her a second chance.“…My view is still narrow-minded

Chapter: 206: New ManagerFortunately, Danice had held off on accepting any offers and insisted on finding a capable manager first to help her decide. With her help, she would be able to dodge that bullet.Manager Fang’s reasoning made sense, so Danice left the matter in her hands.“I’ll contact them to confirm the exact details,” Manager Fang said, her eyes shining after receiving Danice’s approval.Not only had Manager Fang sorted through the emails and offers, she had also created new artist accounts for Danice on every major social media platform.She worked quickly and efficiently. In a single night, most of Danice’s problems were resolved.The next day, after finishing her morning exercise routine, Danice found Manager Fang picking up trash in front of her door.She was surprised to see her again. Then she noticed the spilled water on the floor and her expression changed.“Did someone come by today?” Danice asked, immediately thinking of the agency representatives who had harassed her before.“Oh, no,” M

Chapter: 205: Two projectsManager Fang carefully read through the contract. Unlike a typical PA position, the workload was extremely demanding. In addition to managing Danice’s daily life—schedules, calls, social media, logistics, and personal errands—she would also be performing managerial duties, such as negotiating contracts and liaising with entertainment companies, studios, and directors. It was a heavy workload, far more demanding than her time working with Sophia.The pay was reasonable. It was significantly higher than a standard PA’s salary, though still lower than that of an official manager. Aside from that, every clause in the contract was fair and just.Manager Fang’s gaze stopped at the final statement:[If Client A is satisfied with Client B’s performance during the one-year period, a managerial contract will be renewed.]Her eyes shone.It didn’t matter if she had to work herself to the bone, sleep less than eight hours a day, or meet demanding expectations. As long as her integrity was not com

Keep looking out for each other like this as you two grow up, okay? Then Mommy will give you a lot of rewards."Hearing rewards, the two children's moods turned happy. "What rewards? Are we going to the ocean and dive with sharks?""Are we going to fly in the air and meet Superman?"Suzie laughed. She really wished her children would never lose their innocence and their imagination towards the world.They could grow up strong and disciplined, but they should never lose their innocence toward life and their hope for the future. She would make sure of it."Let me think about it."The two children talked about the rewards that were about to come while they held Suzie's hand.When Javier met them at the company's lobby, he could not help but smile at the scenery.The scenery of his wife and his two children laughing and smiling warmed up his heart.

Chapter: Epilogue 3: The Twins"Everyone, I appreciate your presence here. The reason behind gathering you all and convening this meeting on such short notice is to announce that my wife will be visiting." Tension hung in the air as Javier initiated the meeting. However, the revelation that followed left everyone in a state of surprise. Maintaining his composed demeanor, Javier continued, "Many of you had the opportunity to meet her at last year's opening ceremony. She expresses her regret that she couldn't personally greet each and every one of you on that occasion. My wife is a busy mother, her schedule is quite demanding. I kindly ask for your understanding in this regard." "Madame does not need to apologize." "Madame's kindness is truly remarkable. It's touching that she considers employees like us. We're genuinely grateful for her thoughtfulness." "There is no need to bother about us...." Those with a talent for flattery seized the opportunity to win favor. And their strategy proved effective.

The seat at the head of the table was empty.Everyone waited for that person's arrival with their hearts in their throats.Only the people in higher positions within the company knew how terrifying their boss was. Though young, their boss was ruthless when it came to business and never gave a second chance to those who harmed the company.He was generous to those who worked hard and remained loyal, but ruthless to his enemies. In three years, the company had risen unimaginably and become the number one empire in the country. It then ascended to a top-three rank in the whole of Asia.To those employees who remained with the company even during the most difficult times, their rise to these positions was a testament to their loyalty.

Chapter: Epilogue 1: As a Married CoupleIn the quiet embrace of dawn's gentle touch, the sea awoke from its slumber, its vast expanse stretching out as far as the eye could fathom. The horizon, adorned with hues of soft amethyst and pale rose, held a promise of the spectacle to come. A delicate, cool breeze carried the faint scent of salt and adventure, caressing the senses like a whispered secret. Suzie tiptoed out of the bedroom and washed her face downstairs. She then busied herself in the kitchen. It had been two weeks since the couple had stayed on the island, and there hadn't been a single day when Suzie woke up early to prepare breakfast. Partly because it was Javier's fault for keeping her up late, but whenever she did wake up, Javier had already cooked breakfast and cleaned the kitchen. Even the dishes were taken care of by Javier. There wasn't much else for Suzie to do but watch her handsome, gorgeous husband handle the chores. Suzie appreciated his efforts. However, she also wanted to showcase her cooking ski

She opened her eyes and saw sunlight peeking in through the curtains.How long had it been since she was out?She slowly sat up straight and felt the stinging sensation again. She couldn't help but blame the man once more for being too fierce last night.It was as if the married couple had a connection; Javier appeared at the door, holding a warm glass of water.He looked surprised to see Suzie awake. He hurriedly walked in and handed her the water."You're awake. How do you feel?" Guilt and self-blame were evident on Javier's face. He knew that he had been too rough last night.Suzie wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this, her heart softened. Still, she glared at him. "You were indeed too rough last night."Javier gently helped Suzie to her feet. "I'm sorry. I lost control. Mrs. Zhou kept you away from me for three days—how could I not miss you?" Javier couldn't help but drag Mrs. Zhou into the conversation.Three days without

Ambassador Milliard and Uncle Surge had already arrived in front of the bride's waiting room. At the door, Javier was almost hugging the door as he spoke with a pitiful voice, "I really wanted to see you. I haven't seen you for three days. Mrs. Luo is too strict." "We will see each other in a few minutes. So go to the hall and wait for me. Let my makeup artists work in peace," Suzie's voice sounded from inside the room. "...Alright. I miss you so bad, wife." Ambassador Milliard: "...." Uncle Surge: "...." Fortunately, they were the only people here. If other guests happened to pass by, Javier's image would completely shift from that of a peerless young CEO to that of a lovestruck fool, simping for his wife. The door swung open, and Javier, who had been clinging to it, almost stumbled forward. Mrs. Luo emerged from the room and deliberately avoided him. "Jus

Colt was sad but since it was rare for me and Jia to have a girl's party night, Colt finally let go of his soon-to-be wife. Seeing them lovely-dovey and could not even be separated for one night, made me feel bitter. Tsk. With beers and snacks, I told Jia about Laurance's offer. "I told you! He liked you!" "I don't want to think that you are right. But...if Laurence really looks at me that way...it would be hard for me to reject him." "I saw that Laurence twice. I could say he is handsome, tall, and rich. What's not to like about him?" "If Colt heard you he would be heartbroken and jealous." "Colt is not here anyway. Why are you having difficulty rejecting him?" "Because he is my boss. If he confesses to me and I reject him, how would I face him afterward? Would he want to see me after that? I think my job is in danger." "Girl, why don't you just accept Laurence? Since the man like you, give him a chance."

Chapter: Chapter 256: After Nine YearsIt's been nine years since that incident. It was said that a momentary earthquake around the area caused the club to have cracks in the wall and its ceiling to give out. Nevertheless, the people were injured that night and the club has been investigated. That was when the dead body count increased. There were actually people who died in the club because of an unknown incident. But because they were no proof that they were murdered or any motives behind their deaths, it was only branded as an accident. But there was one thing in common, they died while they were in the club. They were only declared dead when they arrived at the hospital. The club was suspended for not reporting this strange anomaly but they were back in business after a month. After all, it was not the fault of the club owner. Some people said it might be related to the accident eight years ago. But after that, there was no incident that happened again in that building. When I mentioned it to Jia, she just shrugge

As if I was struck by lightning, I remained dazed and rooted in the ground.It was a strange face that I haven't seen before. But...why...why the sight of him affected me so much?I felt like crying, yelling, rampaging, and crying all over again. As if a pandora's box was opened and all my crazy emotions that I have kept were released. It was an emotion that I could not define.However, what I knew was that the feeling of loss I have suddenly found its meaning- longing.I have never felt such longing before. As if the empty hole in my heart found its piece. It was as if I finally found a light in the darkness where I have been wandering for so long.My nose went sour and my sight blurred.

Was she hinting at everyone to leave?Is something about to happen?"The night is just starting. When things heated up we will go to the dance floor. Don't leave yet." The group was hot-blooded and wanted to dance all night until dawn.Jia tried to convince them but they were determined to get wild this night.Jia turned silent, she was a bit frustrated.I pulled at her sleeves, "Why are you hinting them to leave?""Well, based on the story of this place I am now sure that there is a demon here. A vengeful one. It has been hiding for eight years after it killed the students. Now, it must have been hungry and looking for victims.

I could answer and ask questions effortlessly. However, it was just that I don't make deep connections with other people aside from Jia. So oftentimes, after making friends, I won't contact them afterward."It is the first time we saw you two here. Don't you go clubbing in this area?" One of them asked."Honestly, it is the first time we went to the club. We are still adapting to college life." I replied. Some of the people here were seniors. They were kind and gave me advice on what to look out for in the club. Such as not accepting drinks from strangers.We got lucky that we met such a nice group. Even Jia seemed to open up too.They were talkative and kept us interested. At least with them, we don't have to be bored and dance on the dance floor.One of them even opened a spooky topic."Hey.

It seemed that he bottled it all up. Kane pouted, "When I came to visit you, aside from the first few times, you don't look like you missed me. You are happy with them. Especially with that person named Hugh. You are being too close to him. Are you sure he doesn't have a crush on you? Whenever your group hang out, he was always there." "Because he is part of the group. Don't worry about Hugh, I think he has a crush on Lilac." "Your dormitory friend? But they looked like they hate each other." "Didn't we also start that way?" Kane chuckled, "Right. It only changed when you played Cupid." I could not help but smile at the memory. Wait.... I slapped Kane's arm. "You are changing the topic. I am still angry at you."
