Lahat ng Kabanata ng Adored Stardom: Away from Mr. Hamilton: Kabanata 261 - Kabanata 270

[Because nobody would buy a story about him making advances. After all, Hayden is the kind of clean-cut, quality man that women would kill for. He has plenty of women on tap; he'd never have to stoop to harassing someone.][But saying he's married? That's harder to believe than the end of the world today...][If we apply the detective novel paradigm to this scoop, isn't it that if all the impossible things are excluded, what's left, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth?][What are you babbling about? Why apply a detective novel perspective to this? It's clear the gossip is baseless.][Just drop it, folks. In a place like the entertainment industry, where truth and fiction intermingle, don't believe unverified rumors.][Who says it's unverified? Just because you think Hayden couldn't possibly be married, don't forget he's human, not a deity, okay? As a human, he's subject to feelings and desires. Didn't you remember the news about Hayden visiting Gigi's set a while ago? Perhaps

"We owe each other nothing."Hayden, returning from his office, was informed by the maid that Wyneth was still sleeping, so he ascended the stairs. But just as he reached the door, he overheard Wyneth's proclamation. His hand froze on the door handle. 'We owe each other nothing? After all she did for me without me knowing, she doesn't think I owe her?'Hayden had not done anything for her. After coming out of coma, he was always busy with work. He had not even noticed she was living in the room next door until he inadvertently gave her room away. She left because she was wronged. Yet, she said now that they owed each other nothing. And, it seemed she held no grudges against him. Hayden should have been happy with this outcome. But inexplicably, not an ounce of joy bubbled up in him. On the contrary, the inexplicable flame inside him blazed even brighter. After a moment of thought, he twisted the doorknob and walked in.Wyneth, who was leaning against the bed making a phone call, loo

Wyneth held her phone, her gaze lowered, presenting an image of innocence and docility in front of the elders.'So, it appears I've been played by her,' Hayden mused to himself. 'Is this her way of getting back at me for making her unblock me? Well then.' And with that, in the presence of Benedict, he transferred another 50 million dollars into Wyneth's account.Benedict had originally planned for 10 million dollars. Seeing that Hayden had transferred 50 million dollars, his mood instantly lightened. 'My grandson may not be a lost cause after all, even though I used to think he was clueless when it came to women. It seems he has finally wised up.' Not one to hog the limelight, when Wyneth's phone pinged, Benedict asked, all smiles, "Wyneth, have you received the pocket money I sent you?"Wyneth glanced at her phone—another deposit of 50 million dollars."Received it, Grandpa. Thank you.""Don't thank me just yet. I only sent you 10 million dollars. The rest is all from Hayden. Fro

After getting into the car, Amelia and Wyneth waved to the two seniors. "Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Sr., head on inside now." Amelia suggested, "While it's still early, you could catch a few more winks."Wyneth nodded in agreement. "Yes, head on inside." Then, she softened her voice and addressed Hayden, "Honey, why don't you lead Grandma and Grandpa back in?"The depth of Hayden's gaze darkened a smidgen, and he nodded. "Okay."After departing the Hamilton residence, Amelia merged her car onto the main road."Holy moly," she blurted out. "This is my first time receiving a gift just for meeting someone's parents! Do all you rich folks roll like this?"Wyneth, who had just received a 100 million dollars "gift" from Hayden, arched an eyebrow. "Perhaps?"Amelia clucked her tongue, then turned to her friend with widened eyes. "I mean, I just swung by to pick you up and I got a gift. Does that mean you...?"Wyneth nodded. "I've just been given some pocket change."Amelia's curiosity piqu

"If every time I go to the Hamilton residence, I receive an envelope, wouldn't that mean I wouldn't need to work anymore?" Amelia said.Finishing off the last bite of her sandwich, Wyneth swallowed and said, "There's no honor in reaping where you haven't sown.""I don't find it shameful. I've got thick skin." Having said that, Amelia purposely leaned in, nudging her face against Wyneth's. Wyneth pushed her away, but Amelia scooted closer, and the two girls enjoyed their playful banter. After breakfast, Amelia announced, "I'm feeling rich today. I'll ditch my boss and spend the entire day with you."Eventually, the two brought Wyneth's luggage back to her house before heading out again. Just as Wyneth and Amelia stepped out, a message from her manager, Shaun, pinged in.Shaun: [In Acrofburg?]Wyneth was sure she had not shared her itinerary with Shaun. Before she had the chance to question Shaun about how he knew she was in Acrofburg, Shaun sent a picture. As she opened the image,
