After exiting the lift, Jane suddenly inquired, "Mr. Sala, who was that lady that welcomed you at the elevator entrance just now? She seems familiar!"Sala gazed at her intently, his eyes filled with confusion.Director Hisham followed closely behind and stated, "That's Manager Archana from the Design Department. She is a young and talented individual. She won the International Jewelry Design Award at the age of 21. Do you know her?"Jane smiled faintly, "She was my senior.""You're also an art major?" Director Hisham was slightly taken aback.Jane nodded, "Yes, but I dropped out of school.""That's a shame, otherwise we could have been colleagues." Director Hisham chuckled.Jane simply smiled and said nothing. At that time, she had a preference for oil painting, but she could also draw animes.Of course, she had tried her hand at jewelry design as well, since there was a design award with a substantial cash prize.Unfortunately, the design drawings she had created vanished, and when
In a poorly lit hotel room, Jane Austen wriggled restlessly on the oversized bed, her body aching and her head pounding from the excessive alcohol she had consumed earlier.As she took a deep breath, she noticed two figures standing near the bed, one of whom was actress Ciara Tyla and her manager, Salem Blue.Realizing it was getting late, Jane attempted to get up, but was stopped by Ciara's impatient voice."She looks ready to go," Ciara remarked.Confused, Jane wondered what Ciara meant by her comment.Earlier that night, Jane had received a call from Salem to pick them up at the hotel, but upon arrival, Ciara had taken her to meet the producer and director and had given her alcohol until she became dizzy and disoriented.Salem looked at Jane with sympathy and sighed, "It's a shame that such a beautiful girl is going to be used by Director Rebel."Ciara, however, was dismissive and snide. "Don't sympathize with her. She's just a stuntwoman, it's her job."Ciara then went on to expla
A flurry of hurried footsteps receded, and the door slammed shut, muffling all sound.Jane gazed at the dismal ceiling, consumed by an endless rage and regret.When she first joined the entertainment industry, she was a novice, only able to land minor roles with a modest income.Desperate to cover her brother's medical expenses, she received unexpected aid from Ciara Tyla.She sought to repay the debt, but Ciara adamantly refused, insisting that she was merely accruing good karma.Ciara's assistant informed her that Ciara was in need of a stuntwoman.Disliking the notion of indebtedness, Jane offered herself up as a replacement.Later, she discovered that her agent had secured her a lucrative commercial and two high-budget scripts, one of which featured her as the lead actress, an auspicious start to her career.Now it was clear that Ciara had been aware of these developments, and had deliberately conspired to stymie her ascent.Ciara was not as amiable as she appeared, and her exacti
The door was banged open as the room card was inserted, and warm light flooded in.The man strode in, carrying a woman in his arms, and shut the door behind him.The room was silent as Damien carefully laid the woman on the bed, her shirt torn and crumpled.What worried him more was her restlessness, as she tugged at his clothes and wriggled in his embrace.It took all his willpower to resist the impulse in his heart as he held her close.Breathing a sigh of relief, Damien felt like he had just climbed a mountain as he placed her on the bed.He noticed her flushed cheeks and shortness of breath, and a chill crept across his handsome face.Judging by her appearance, she must have been drugged, he thought.Otherwise, why would she be so eager for him?A wave of hostility rose in his heart, and his eyes darkened with anger. It seemed like someone was daring to mess with him.He couldn't bear to think about what would have happened if he hadn't arrived in time.If someone else had touched
The following morning, Jane woke up feeling a burning sensation next to her. She shifted uncomfortably and opened her eyes slowly.Her gaze immediately fell onto the handsome man lying beside her, their skin touching intimately. He was completely naked.She froze for a moment before letting out a loud scream, "Ah!"Panicked, she scrambled away from him, causing the blanket to slip off her body, revealing bruises all over her skin.The man lazily opened his eyes and spoke in a relaxed tone, "You're up early."Jane quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself up. She glared at him and asked coldly, "Who are you and why are you here?"Damien's lips curved into a smirk, "You mean to ask why we're in bed together?"Jane's anger flared up, "Answer my question!"Damien sat up and pointed to the hickey marks on his body, "Last night, you came to me in the corridor, hugged me, kissed me, and even undressed me. You seduced me."Jane immediately refuted his words, "That's nonsense! I would never
A man with an attractive appearance is causing envy among women.The fact is, he is in great physical shape, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, giving him the perfect inverted triangle figure. Even his complexion appears fairer than most women.Jane's annoyance was evident on her face. "Are you serious?"It's clear that this man is not the one suffering, she is."You may feel wronged, but I, Damien Wolfe, am not someone who takes things lightly." The man's voice was cold and distant, unlike his previous cheerful tone.Damien Wolfe? Jane was taken aback for a moment, as the name sounded familiar, like she had heard it somewhere before.She turned to him impatiently. "What do you want? Money? How much?"Seeing her reaction, Damien knew that she had no idea who he was.He smirked. "I have plenty of money, but there is one thing I lack."Jane looked at him skeptically, sensing that something was off."What is it?""I need a wife."Jane laughed. "That's not funny!"How could a man wi
Jane was experiencing some discomfort.New York is home to numerous affluent families, but the Wolfes reign supreme.The heir to the Wolfe family is Damien Wolfe.Jane may have heard of Damien Wolfe before as he was rumored to be entering the entertainment industry.Did she really fall for the first man in New York she met?Or is he just trying to deceive her?Damien seems to read her thoughts and smirked, "Would you like to see my identification?"Jane shook her head, knowing that IDs can be forged these days.However, she noticed the expensive Patek Philippe watch on the table when she reached for her ID."In that case, let's discuss marriage," Damien proposed calmly.Jane coldly refused, "I don't agree."Damien picked up his phone and threatened to call the police, "Then it seems I have no choice."Jane pleaded, "Please don't!""Then you agree?" Damien asked with interest.Jane gritted her teeth, not wanting to agree, but feeling powerless in this situation.Damien reassured her, "D
What kind of woman he desires to wed based on his status is insufficient, why does it have to be her? Jane is perplexed, is it just because of last night?Damien clarifies, "I won't marry someone I am not acquainted with. As per my investigation, Miss Austen, you are the most fitting candidate."Jane comprehends that this person has looked into her thoroughly in just one night.Indeed, someone of his stature must be cautious about his choice of spouse."So, do I not have the right to decline?" Jane inquired.The ball is in his court, and the terms he has offered are quite enticing.She is not concerned about herself; her brother's illness has always weighed heavily on her mind.Over the years, it has been challenging for her to pay for her brother's daily medical expenses, let alone find suitable organs and surgery fees."I hope you won't decline," Damien said.Jane understands that she has no choice now that matters has progressed to this point.Alternatively, she must thank God for p
