"Stella, I'm about to board the plane now. I should arrive around ten tomorrow morning. I've checked in some luggage, and you'll see the rest when I get back," Trevor's voice fought against the wind, clearly audible through the phone."Alright, have a safe flight. I'll be there to pick you up tomorrow," Stella responded warmly.Trevor hesitated for a moment before calling her name, "Stella...""What is it, Trevor?" Stella sensed there was something he wanted to share. However, after a brief pause, he decided, "Let's talk about it when I'm there. It's not the best moment for it over the phone.""Okay."Stella ended the call and tightened her grip on the steering wheel. She anticipated that Trevor might have uncovered some details from the past, but the extent remained unknown."Oh my God!" Felicity suddenly exclaimed.Stella was startled. "What?!"Felicity hit her forehead and said, "I forgot to block my mom! She just liked my latest tweet.""What did you post that's so scandal

Leighton's eyelid twitched as he ignored Nicole's absurd accusations. The reporter attempted to extract more information from him. However, Leighton remained tight-lipped, only responding to questions related to the movie. The journalist had no choice but to steer the conversation back to the film.After a while, the interview concluded. Leighton walked over to Stella, saying, "Hey, let me head to the restroom, and we can grab a meal together later."Felicity seized the opportunity to get an autograph and gave him a thumbs-up. "You did great, Leighton!"Leighton chuckled and headed to the restroom. Stella and Felicity sat in the lounge, waiting for him.Shortly after, Nicole entered, handing them each an orange. She winked and said, "We're at a movie press conference, yet the lead actor is sitting in the audience?"Stella chuckled and joked, "That's because I don't want to be overshadowed by your radiance on stage."Nicole laughed, "Well, aren't you sweet? Why did you quit The En

The people present shifted their attention to Nicole. She reached for the band-aid, her gaze lowered. "We can be in a fake relationship. You help me navigate this crisis, and I'll pave the way for you in the industry. Six months down the line, we can release a statement citing irreconcilable differences and part ways amicably. What do you think?"Leighton's expression darkened momentarily. "What makes you think I need your help to get into the industry?"Nicole responded calmly, "Despite your soaring popularity, you've only recently entered the entertainment scene. Those scripts won't fall into your lap without the right connections. Unless, of course, you're willing to seek assistance from your father or cousin."Nicole knew exactly how to rile up Leighton. His family disapproved of his chosen career, and he was adamant about making a name for himself without their support.Leighton gritted his teeth and retorted, "I am where I am today through my own efforts!"Nicole raised her

Estelle's face turned an unsettling shade of white, "Have you lost your mind? Aren't you worried the fans will tear you apart if you say you're in a relationship?"Leighton maintained a composed demeanor and responded, "Whether I agree or not, this matter will blow up. Even if she clarifies the matter, people will still think it's a joint PR stunt."Estelle grew increasingly anxious and protested, "If we don't respond, the hype will die down. Besides, we're the victims of this incident. Why would you jeopardize your future for her?"Estelle had a positive impression of Nicole, particularly in a professional context. However, there was a limit to her admiration. She could not let Nicole manipulate Leighton like this.Nicole did not rely on popularity for her livelihood. She had built a solid track record over the years and would receive job offers no matter what. Whether or not her romantic life was revealed, it had almost no bearing on her professional trajectory.On the other han

No superstars will stay young, but there will always be young superstars.At this age, Leighton was at the prime of his career, where he could make the most money.His fans would spend a fortune to see him sing and dance. Even if his acting skills were terrible, his devoted fans would still do everything possible to boost his show's viewership.Acting skills did not matter as long as he could be a valuable asset to the company.Though they spoke about transformation, none of them was willing to let go of this opportunity to make money with minimal effort. When they got older and did not look as attractive as before, they would be replaced by new superstars. By then, the money they had earned during their prime would be enough to last for generations.Even those who entered the entertainment industry with a pure heart would slowly lose themselves under the influence of money, becoming tools to fulfill the profit-driven motives of the industry.Although Ezra's words were harsh, he
