Chapter 989
Beverly was dressed to the nines in a figure–hugging white gown.
She closed herptop nonchntly, her hands resting on the armrests of herrge chair. Turning
her chair towards the floor–to–ceiling window, she crossed her arms and gazed into the distance,
lost in thought.
After some time, she rose from her seat, donned her trench coat, and grabbed her purse before
leaving the office. Her secretary immediately stood up, “Ms. Summers, where are you heading?”
Without pause, Chloe responded, “Not sure, just call me if anythinges up.”
The secretary stuttered, “…Alright.”
Chloe found her car and sat in the driver’s seat for a moment, unsure of where to go.
All she knew was that staying in the office wouldn’t get her anywhere.
She pulled out her phone, intending to browse the inte but quickly thought better of it.
Finally, she opened WhatsApp and checked the only group chat named Royal Scum.
Scum…
Sheposed herself before opening the group chat.
Chloe [Anyone around?]
Kane [Yep!]
Hans [Yep!]
E [Yep!]
Noah [Yep!]
Sawyer [Yep!]
Seth [Yes.]
Kane [Can thest one just ruin the pattern like that?]
Seth [I don’t think I am thest one.]
A few secondster-
Seth […]
!
Kane [Probably Damon is busy… But Seth, aren’t you usually the coldest? Howe you replied
so fast? What have you been up to? We haven’t seen you around.]
Seth [Missing me?]
Kane [Buzz off! You’ve had enough! Chloe, What’s up?]
Chloe, with a small smile, typed on her phone-
[Seth, have you ever chased after a female celebrity?]
Kane, Hans, E… [LOL, this is some juicy stuff!]
Seth [What? You’re a journalist now?]
Chloe [Nope, just bored. Any cool ces you can rmend?]
Seth [Your future husband’s bed.]
Chloe’s mouth twitched, this petty man, his revenge was swift.
Not long after, Seth sent another message-
[If you’re bored, try the movie city. You might discover some up–anding talents.]
Chloe paused, remembering that Winston had a cameo today. After thanking Seth, she drove off.
P City had a sizeable movie city. Upon arrival, Chloe saw a group of people of various shapes and
sizes. Most of them were good–looking, well–built young men and women. Without any resources
or connections, they started here as extras, hoping to be noticed by a director or screenwriter and
eventually be stars. There were also some shabbily dressed loafers and beggars waiting for
free food.
Chloe got out of the car, and the people who were originally looking at her with anticipation had a
hint of obvious disappointment on their faces.
A woman, in the eyes of entertainment industry folks, must surely have connections. However, she
didn’t seem to be any famous actress, which meant she was of no use to them.
“Sigh, looks like we’ll be waiting in vain today.”
“When will my benefactor show up?”
“Was that woman just now the CEO of Infinity Media?”
Chloe frowned at the news. The CEO of Infinity Media?
“Yes, nowadays, there are female bigwigs in the entertainment industry too. Don’t underestimate
women. Look, herees another one, better put on a good show.”
“You’re joking, right? How many women in the entertainment industry are big shots? I’d rather save
my energy and wait for the CEO of Infinity Media. She should being out soon.”
A beautiful young womanzily nced at Chloe, not giving her a second look, before turning her
gaze back to the gate.
Several people came out from the gate.
Seeing the person surrounded by two others, Chloe couldn’t help but sneer. She had been
wondering why Beverly and Jacob had announced their engagement so openly, and now she
realized it was because of her presence.
“Ms. Wendy, I hope you can take a look at this script, even if it’s just a nce.”
A man who had chased after her stood panting at the entrance, speaking to Wendy. His clothes
were tattered, his face haggard, and his long hair was messy due tock of care. Even though he
seemed to be begging, his voice was brimming with confidence.

Annoyance shed across Wendy’s face; it seemed she was already fed up with him. She looked at
him helplessly, holding her hand up to her nose, unable to hide her disgust.
The man standing next to Wendy immediately said, “Ms. Wendy, don’t bother with him. He’s very
persistent. Every director in the movie city probably has a copy of his script, and there’s still no
news. If it were really good, would it still be here?”
Wendy had no intention of dealing with this unkempt man. His appearance was a mess, how could
he write a good script? But when she saw so many people watching her at the gate, she clenched
her lips, held her breath to avoid the man’s smell, and still epted the script.
“I’ll take a look.”
The man smiled, said a thank you, and then stepped aside.
Wendy slightly raised the corner of her mouth and walked out of the gate under the protection of the
security guard.
The eyes of the extras were like hungry wolves, hoping to win her favor. But the result disappointed
them.
Chloe stood not far away, blocked by a group of excited extras. Wendy didn’t notice her and just
kept walking, stopping at the corner to casually throw the script into a trash can before continuing
on her way.
Chloe immediately frowned, walked to the trash can where the script was discarded, surrounded by
leftovers from the extras‘ meals. It was greasy.
Without hesitation, she picked up the script, carefully brushing off the food scraps stuck to the
back. The front part was still as good as new.
Even though the man looked unkempt, she had noticed that the script he held was brand new, and
the white paper was spotless. This showed how much he cherished this script.
A creator’s work was like their child. How harsh and cruel was it when your own kid got ditched
and mocked?
She was a creator too. Remembering the feeling when the perfume she designed with full
confidence was chucked and smashed, or when everyone thought her work was a rip–off, no one
could understand that kind of heartache and sorrow.
Seeing her actions, everyone had different reactions.
