Just like the kinds of deception that are common nowadays, it starts with tempting offers and attractive benefits. You fall for it easily. Then suddenly, you’re hit with a huge problem until you find yourself completely trapped.

“Do you want to warn your parents?” Cosmo asked as he looked at her. “But they probably won’t listen to you either.” He knew all too well how greedy people moved when money was involved.

Arellano didn’t get the Bay Area project, so when someone offered him a potentially profitable one, he didn’t hesitate to take it. In his eyes, it was a great opportunity.

But with any benefit comes risk. If your focus is only on profit and you don’t think about the consequences, you’re easily defeated the moment you lose control.

“I know,” Eloise replied. At this point, it was hard for her to get involved in their decisions. She knew they wouldn’t listen to her either.

“So what do you want me to do? Step in now and stop them, or wait until something happens and then come runn

    The Baylon family was quiet and low-key, and sometimes, the more low-key a family is, the more mysterious they become.Eloise had no personal connection to the Baylons, but she had heard bits of gossip about them, stories clearly embellished, making it hard to tell what was true. She couldn’t just approach the Baylon family, but Cosmo was in a different position. He was among the social elite and had connections to people most would never get near.“I’ve had a few interactions with them, but I don’t really know much,” Cosmo said calmly. “And even if you say you know something, most of the time, the family members themselves won’t admit anything.”“I’m not saying you know everything,” Eloise replied. “I just think you probably know more than the rest of us who rely on secondhand gossip.”“If I wasn’t sharp, we probably wouldn’t be having such a smooth conversation right now,” Cosmo joked.Eloise laughed. “Are you complimenting yourself for being quick-witted, or me for being good at e

    The next day, Sasha immediately noticed the pearl earrings Eloise was wearing.“Hey, are those new? When did you buy them? They’re so pretty!” Sasha moved closer to get a better look, clearly interested.Women are naturally sensitive when it comes to clothes and accessories, especially those who love fashion, like Sasha.“Cosmo gave them to me for my birthday. I didn’t buy them,” Eloise said with a slight smile. “There’s even a matching necklace, but it’s not really for everyday wear. It’s more for formal events or parties.”Sasha was surprised. “Really? Cosmo gave you a birthday gift? He planned something for you?”Eloise didn’t go into the details of her and Cosmo’s current relationship. So Sasha assumed that things between them had just gotten better. Or maybe Eloise was starting to fall for him, while Cosmo only had mild feelings, nothing deep yet.Giving a birthday card felt like a duty a husband would do. But gifting jewelry, something that matched Eloise’s personality, meant so

    As they walked, Lander asked, “What exactly happened earlier?”Eloise remembered someone recognizing Lander at the set, and the issue could grow bigger if more people noticed. So she gave him a brief explanation of what happened.“Since they’re part of the production team, I’ll just have my people deal with it,” Lander said calmly. He was actually glad he happened to drop by the set and catch the incident in time to step in and help Eloise.Eloise sighed. “What are you planning to do? Get them fired? If you do that, it’ll just confirm the gossip that Sasha has a backer, someone pulling strings for her.”“But if we just let them be, won’t that make things worse? They’ll only spread more rumors,” Lander replied seriously. “Honestly, if Sasha had been the one who saw you being harassed, she wouldn’t have let it slide. She’s not afraid of gossip.”“I know!” Eloise quickly responded. “But I don’t want her involved. Ever since before, she’s always been a target of nasty rumors. I don’t want

    Chloe was a few years older than both Eloise and Sasha. Her calm demeanor and soft-spoken nature made that clear. Despite being meticulous at work, she wasn’t the type to be aggressive or competitive. She kept to herself and didn’t seem interested in fighting for attention.So it wasn’t surprising to hear what she said earlier.“You and Eloise are really alike, Director,” Sasha said with a grin. “Eloise is so good at what she does, she often becomes the target of envy and gossip, but she just brushes it off. It makes people even more annoyed because instead of being discouraged, she just gets better, like she answers all the hate with her skills.”Sasha’s little speech carried a playful tone. “But of course, since she’s been around me a lot, she’s changed a bit. I told her, you shouldn’t let gossipers get used to stepping on you. Otherwise, people might think it’s okay to mess with you anytime.”Chloe smiled. “I really envy you two. You have such a strong bond.”“Don’t you have a clos

    Chloe was sharp, and she quickly noticed that Eloise didn’t want to dig deeper into the conversation.So she immediately apologized. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry into your personal life. I just happened to overhear that you were already married at such a young age, and it caught me off guard.”Chloe’s tone was serious and sincere, so Eloise didn’t feel insulted. Still, she wasn’t comfortable talking about such things, especially not with anyone other than Sasha.“It’s alright. It was just a light conversation anyway,” Eloise replied with a calm smile. Her tone was natural and composed, so nothing about the exchange felt awkward.After that, Chloe returned to her work while Eloise quietly waited for Sasha to finish hers.A few minutes later, Eloise received a call from Gabriel. She already had a feeling why he was calling.She didn’t answer, so Gabriel immediately sent a message: “Afraid to answer my call, huh?”Two minutes later, Eloise replied: “Gabriel, I’m out and I’m busy with s
