Third Person's POV

Vanya frowned, activated the phone's speaker, and scrolled through the itinerary sent by Calvert's agent. "There's no 'visit to Hammond Pictures' on your schedule. What are you doing there?"

Her tone carried a hint of wariness.

"Mr. Hammond called me personally. He insisted I head to the first training building to teach you newcomers the rules of the entertainment industry," Calvert replied.

"Figures it's Edwin again," Vanya muttered.

Wasn't Hammond's boss supposed to be snowed under with work?

Why was he so fixated on her?

She said sourly, "If you dare to hassle me during training tomorrow, I'll kill you!"

With that, she hung up.

The next morning, before dawn, the doorbell rang at Vanya's house.

She opened the door to find several women in business attire. "Miss Dalton, Mr. Hammond sent us to help you pack," they said politely.

"Pack? Why?" Vanya asked, puzzled.

"You're scheduled to live in Hammond Pictures' trainee apartment from now on," they explained.

    Third Person's POV"Then what? Of course it's unfair!" the others chimed in, their discontent written all over their faces.Vanya said calmly, "There's no absolute fairness in this world. Some rely on smarts, others on talent, and others on connections. If you're pursuing absolute fairness in this industry, you're nothing but naive children."The sweet-faced girl who had claimed her father was a director at Hammond Pictures stepped forward. "That's just sophistry!""Is it?" Vanya stepped closer, lightly flicking the necklace around the girl's neck. "This is from an overseas luxury brand, right? Costs at least eight hundred thousand bucks. Do you think an average person would shell out eight hundred thousand for a necklace? You're here because of your family's influence—climbing the ladder by stepping on others. What qualifies you to lecture me on fairness?""You...!" The girl was left speechless.Vanya then turned to the girl with the cold demeanor. "You probably want to say you come

    Third Person's POVVanya felt her spirits drop as she saw the headlines.She knew Edwin was resourceful, but she didn't expect him to be so adept at generating buzz with these clickbait titles.The heat surrounding her, which had started to cool down a few days ago, was now soaring once again.And today was her first day at Hammond Pictures.Walking into the company, Vanya immediately sensed an atmosphere starkly different from M Group's. The decor was luxurious and imposing, and the modern, lavish design at the entrance was intimidating.As she stepped inside, employees were bustling about, phone calls ringing out in a steady stream, yet the environment wasn't chaotic.Everyone was organized in their tasks.But the intense atmosphere pressed down on her, making it hard to breathe."Are you Vanya? Follow me," a voice called out.Vanya looked up to see the speaker sizing her up and down.Dressed in a busines

    Third Person's POVEdwin glanced at her, his eyes carrying a silent cue.Vanya quickly corrected herself, "So, you're offering me an artist contract?""Precisely what the contract states," Edwin replied, his voice flat and emotionless."Mr. Hammond, I have considered making my debut, but I……" Vanya began."But you intend to debut under the M Group's banner, without joining Hammond Pictures," Edwin interrupted, stating her unspoken thoughts."Uh… Yeah, that's pretty much it," Vanya admitted, struggling to articulate her thoughts.Edwin explained, "Don't forget our prior cooperation agreement—your Dalton's bankruptcy impacts mine. Signing you now is simply fulfilling your obligations."Vanya felt she was being seriously taken advantage of.Edwin had pinpointed her aversion to owing favors, leaving her no choice but to comply.She put down the contract and said bluntly, "Fine, I agree."

    Third Person's POVElliot ushered Vanya upstairs.Through the conference room's glass, she spotted Cliff seated in his office chair, dressed in a sharp suit with his usual calm and cool demeanor.Vanya pushed the door open and walked straight in, asking, "What do you want with me?""The Dalton Group's bankrupt. I figured you could use some cash," Cliff said.Vanya smiled wryly. "You called me here just to throw money at me?""The Dalton shareholders all bailed. Those stocks are worth at least five billion. Was it Theodore who helped you out?""That's none of your business," Vanya replied coldly."Legally, you're still my wife," Cliff said, regaining his composure."Our Daltons' affairs don't need your concern, Alpha Cliff," Vanya said, gathering her thoughts before quickly averting her gaze."I came to ask... Did you send Melinda to Zander?" she asked.Zander might rule Seattle, but LA was Cliff's domain.

    Third Person's POVGrace held Vanya's hand and said, "Now that Melinda's with someone else, Cliff will never agree to a divorce. Leave this to Theodore. He'll sort it out.""No way. This is between Cliff and me. Besides... I don't want to trouble Theodore anymore," Vanya replied, casting an involuntary glance toward the kitchen.Theodore, wearing a black apron, was frying eggs with an air of calm.Sensing her gaze, he looked up, and their eyes met.Vanya quickly looked away, but not before a faint blush crept into her cheeks."Food's ready!" Derrick announced, carrying out three plates. Theodore followed with another plate, which he deliberately placed in front of Vanya.Derrick couldn't help but lament, "When will I ever get such treatment from you?"Grace quipped from the side, "In your dreams, maybe."As Vanya ate, her phone buzzed—it was a message from Cliff.She glanced at Theodore, saw he wasn't lookin
