    It was a field where talent and wealth were equally crucial.


    “Why didn’t you mention you wereing?” Ellie inquired.


    “I reced another guest,” Baylee admitted. “I was concerned about you dealing with Carole—not about being bullied, but more about being repulsed by her,” she added in a lower tone.


    Curious, Ellie asked, “How did you manage to rece someone?” She faintly remembered that the Curtis family wasn’t connected to anyone in the entertainment world.


    Baylee touched her nose, answering, “Marvin helped me.”


    With his extensive connections, Marvin was aware of Ellie’s participation in the show and offered Baylee the opportunity to join. Though Baylee was hesitant to involve herself with Marvin, her concern for Ellie prevailed.


    “Another guest is Darrell Vargas,” Baylee disclosed.


    “The close friend of Erick?”


    “Yes. I’ve also heard he’s been pursuing Carole recently.”


    Ellie was speechless. s, another individual was about to trouble her. She should have been more diligent in reviewing the guest list for the event!


    “Hello, Miss Gordon. I’m Tobias Valdez. I’ve heard quite a bit about you!”


    At that moment, a suave man with curly hair approached.


    “Hello, Mr. Valdez,” Ellie greeted, shaking his hand.

    “You’ve arrived?” Kaiden’s voice came through.


    “Did you check my schedule?” Ellie asked, noting his awareness of her whereabouts.


    Kaiden didn’t deny it, instead gently inquiring, “Are you upset?”


    “No,” Ellie told Kaiden.


    There was no need for her to get upset over something so trivial. She added, “However, you have to respect my privacy. You can’t investigate me anymore. Otherwise, I will get angry.”


    “Alright.”


    As Kaiden replied, his eyes were glued to the photo sent by his informant within the program’s crew.


    Dressed in a long red dress, Ellie strolled down the dock, capturing his attention with her stunning appearance.


    “Take care.” After a moment’s pause, he added, “Call if you run into any trouble.”


    His words sounded a little strange to her.


    After a brief pause, Ellie snapped back to reality, her expression subtly changing. “Kaiden, are you asking me to call you every day?” Her voice carried a soft, yful, and sweet tone.
