?Chapter 174:


    The idea took Ellie by surprise. She shook her head vehemently, pushing the thought out of her mind as quickly as it hade.


    Later that afternoon, Ellie’s phone buzzed incessantly with WhatsApp notifications. Her former social circle was abuzz in various chat groups, all discussing a single topic.


    “The CEO of GT Group is actually Kaiden!”


    The fact that Kaiden was the disowned son of the Thorpe Group had long been a staple in their gossip. Yet who would have imagined that this supposed outcast would emerge as the enigmatic CEO of GT Group—a figure many sought to ingratiate themselves with?


    The crux of the matter was Kaiden’s absence from the public eye over the years. Despite their best efforts, no one had ever managed to secure a photo of him.

Now that he’s in the spotlight, watch out for other women,” Baylee advised.

    Later that evening, after dinner, Ellie changed and headed to the film crew of Peerless Grace.


    The initial setup for the crew was at a luxurious hotel in Critport. The interview panel consisted of the directors of clothing and makeup, art, and the general director.


    Ellie submitted her styling portfolio and answered several technical inquiries. The clothing and makeup director presented her with three sets of styling designs, asking which she felt best suited specific roles.


    The interview concluded in thirty minutes, with the promise of a decision within two business days.


    Once Ellie had departed, the meeting room buzzed with conversation.


    “This woman has a knack for her craft, an excellent aesthetic sense, and a deep understanding of history. She’s quite a contender,” onemented.


    “Yet, let’s not overlook that the supporting female role is ted for Demi. How do Ellie and she rte?” another asked.


    “The word is, the Gordon family confused Ellie with Demi at their birth in the hospital. There’s a lot of bad blood between them. I’m concerned about potential discord within the—”
