“Too much stuff. Let’s just load it all into the car—I’ll drive you over,” Archer said.Melvin came running over with his little backpack, sweeping all the snacks Lily had packed for him inside. He stuffed two bottles of fresh juice into the side pockets, zipping it up with a grin.The set wasn’t far from the Duncan estate. In fact, it was closer than the park where Mrs. Duncan usually went for her evening dances—barely a ten-minute walk. Archer started the engine, and before it even felt like the car had picked up speed, they were there.When they arrived, the crew had just wrapped up one scene and was preparing for the next. Some actors were going over their lines, while others sat off to the side chatting or resting.The director was reviewing the playback when a crew member suddenly raised his voice. “You can’t just walk onto the set! If you want an autograph, wait outside!”He had spotted Archer with an elderly woman and a little boy, and immediately assumed they were fans tr

With Wesley’s influence in the industry and Archer himself putting in a word, there was no way Marianne was going to be turned down. Wesley didn’t even bother with excuses—he gave her the role outright.The actress who’d been promised the part stormed off to complain, and that bigshot himself even came knocking. Wesley brushed him off without a second thought. Marianne, of course, knew nothing about the politics behind it.A week later, on Saturday, it was Marianne’s first official day on set. She was determined not to let anyone know who she really was. The last thing she wanted was actors trying to curry favor, showering her with empty compliments. More than that, she wanted to test her acting honestly. If people already knew her background, they might praise her even if she fell flat.Still, Wesley worried. The entertainment world was ruthless, and he didn’t want anyone treating her like an ordinary outsider. Quietly, he pulled the director aside and revealed who she was. Sudde

Sophia stood frozen, watching the Duncans disappear around the corner. She could still hear Marianne’s words echoing in her ears.“That was the Duncan family… and the Jacksons? Really?” one of her friends gasped, moving up beside her. From where they stood, they could still catch a glimpse of the Duncan group fading into the crowd, and among them, they spotted James and Rachel.“What are they doing together?” another voice blurted, stunned.The two families weren’t even in the same league. The Jacksons had gone bankrupt years ago!Back when Aria and Archer were first rumored to be together, everyone knew it was impossible. The Duncans would never allow it.Sophia’s expression darkened. “Looks like they’re not far from a wedding. Both families clearly acknowledge their relationship now—this was the parents sitting down to meet.”“And did you see the way Old Mrs. Duncan treated Rachel? They actually seemed to get along. Even Mrs. Duncan and Rachel looked surprisingly comfortable wi

“Yes, I’ve been pretty busy.” Sophia forced a vague smile, awkward under Aria’s cold silence.Rachel wasn’t oblivious. From the moment Sophia appeared, Aria had ignored her. Rachel knew her daughter well—Aria never went out of her way to slight people. She treated friends with loyalty, but once she grew distant, it always meant the other person had done something wrong.Rachel’s smile softened, but her warmth cooled. She let go of Sophia’s hand politely, keeping up appearances, though the genuine enthusiasm from a moment ago was gone.Yvette, however, looked surprised. “Sophia and Aria are friends?”Sophia’s heart leapt. With the entire Duncan family here—especially the grandparents—this was her chance. Yvette was her aunt, but that was as far as Sophia’s family ties went. She got along well enough with Yvette, but Robert barely acknowledged her, and as for the Duncans themselves, she had no real connection at all.The truth was, outsiders almost never had a chance to meet Old

“Any leads?” Mark answered the call straight to the point.As he listened, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.“What about the company’s legal representative?” His voice dropped into a low, sharp register.“…I see. Find out as soon as you can,” he said, then after a pause added, “And if possible, dig into what Archer was up to that year.”…That same evening, Sophia Walker was at a high school reunion. They were meeting in Oliver’s private room at the Grandview, since he was the only one who had a VIP membership there. The room wasn’t as lavish as Archer’s suite, but it was still more than enough for them.When the group stepped out and turned the corner, Sophia spotted Mark in the hallway. He had just finished his call and wasn’t going back to his room right away. Instead, he leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag.Sophia lowered her eyes slightly and whispered to her friend, “I’m going to say hi.”She walked toward him, but Mark didn’t seem to notice.

“Our idea is to hold the wedding at the Grandview, make it grand and lively. What do you all think? Just say what’s on your mind, and we’ll work it out together.”“I don’t have any special requests,” Rachel said steadily. “I only want Aria to marry with dignity. No sneaking off to get married quietly, no feeling like she’s been shortchanged.”“Of course!” Marianne nodded eagerly, then pulled a planner out of her purse.“Rachel, I’ve already marked a few dates inside. Take a look,” Marianne said, passing the book to Grace, who handed it across to Rachel.As Rachel flipped through the pages, Marianne went on, “Once we settle on a date, we’ll clear out the Grandview for the day—close it to the public and book the whole place.”“Book the Grandview? You’re throwing money around,” Grandpa Duncan huffed, glaring at her.“So what if I am? My grandson’s getting married! We’ll do it with style. I’m even thinking we’ll get a helicopter for aerial shots!” Marianne shot right back, voice risi
