Mission to Wealth Chapter 11
At the corner of Calista's lips, a slight smirk appeared as she glanced at another beautiful, famous actress who shouldn't have been on the same shooting location as Calista."I didn't expect to see you here," Calista maintained her thin smile while placing the script draft on the small table next to her folding chair.The woman was named Sandara.On numerous occasions, she had lost out to Calista, whether in securing lead roles or winning awards. Sandara always felt envious of Calista's beauty and popularity."I came here because my latest film shoot happened to be adjacent to your location, Calista. And I'm the lead actress," Sandara proudly announced the news she thought was excellent."Wow! It's amazing. Should I congratulate you, San?" Calista asked with a somewhat biting remark.Calista had her reasons for speaking that way. She had grown weary of Sandara's attitude. Not once or twice had Sandara made sarcastic videos directly aimed at her."What's going on here?"Suddenly, a de

"How about it, Gibson? Are you satisfied seeing their pale faces?"At this moment, Gibson and Kiara had already returned from the cinema. Even though they were the only ones in the theater earlier, they still enjoyed it."Yes, Calista, of course, I am satisfied." While driving, Gibson remembered how his former mother-in-law's face turned pale. Not just pale but embarrassed as well when he ruthlessly insulted her."I've never seen such a desperate look on an old woman before. Instead of self-improvement, she mocked and belittled you," Calista spoke again.Gibson remained silent, listening to Calista's words. What Calista said was indeed true. Even at her age, which was nearing sixty, Gibson had never seen any goodness in that woman, or maybe she had never been good to him."Did your former mother-in-law treat you poorly during your marriage to Kiara?" Calista looked at Gibson, who was deep in thought. For some reason, she was curious about Gibson's life before meeting her."I don't kno
Mission to Wealth Chapter 13
In a quiet room, Gibson reclined on the bed. The image of Calista's figure troubled his mind as a man.Gibson shook his head, trying to dispel the thought. "Damn! Why does Calista's image keep haunting me?"He sighed in frustration, feeling a pulse below as Calista's image reappeared. Gibson turned when he heard a knock on the door, furrowing his brow in confusion."Gibson, open the door," the voice sounded like Calista's. Gibson promptly stood up and approached the tightly closed door."What's up, Calista?" Gibson asked without opening the door first. His heart suddenly raced, and Gibson didn't know what was happening to him."Open the door," Calista commanded from behind the door. Calista stared at the closed bedroom door until Gibson finally opened it, and he currently averted his gaze."Are you okay?"Gibson shook his head slowly. "No, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"Calista furrowed her brow, then sighed when she saw Gibson still looking elsewhere. "What's wrong? You seem different."
Mission to Wealth Chapter 14
A bright morning didn't coax a beautiful woman from her slumber; she looked comfortable lying in her soft bed, with the blanket almost up to her chest. The sunlight streaming through the window crevices caused her beautiful eyes to flutter. The sun's rays now fully met her captivating gaze as a man, none other than Gibson, pulled back the curtains wide open."Close the curtains," she said, turning away to avoid the sunlight.Gibson sighed and walked closer to Calista, then pulled the blanket, hoping she'd wake up soon."Wake up, it's already noon," Gibson informed her."I'm still sleepy," Calista said, pulling the blanket back that Gibson had uncovered.Gibson shook his head and sat on the edge of the bed, watching Calista with her eyes still closed.Even in her sleep, Calista looked incredibly beautiful, making Gibson curl his lips upwards. Somehow, he found himself entangled with a beautiful and wealthy woman like Calista, as if it were all a dream."Am I so beautiful that you're st
Mission to Wealth Chapter 15
The atmosphere inside the building is bustling with visitors. Gibson and Calista, who are also present, choose to find comfortable seats to sit."Calista, why did we come here?" Gibson asks as they sit in a corner of the room.Calista smiles, her mind returning to the previous night when she received information that Gibson's ex-mother-in-law was attending an antique auction. Calista had just learned that the woman had a liking for antiques."Of course, I came here for you, Gibson."Gibson furrows his brow, not understanding Calista's words at all. "For me? What do you mean?"Calista smiles again, her gaze searching for a middle-aged woman she wants to outbid and embarrass."You'll find out soon enough, Gibson, just follow my lead," Calista grins, making Gibson slightly apprehensive about what she has planned.A few moments later, an auctioneer takes the stage that had been prepared before the event began."Good afternoon, everyone," the auctioneer greets everyone in the room. It's cl
Mission to Wealth Chapter 16
The residence of the Kiara family appeared calm and quiet. Only a middle-aged man with fair, milky white skin was visible. He was resting, reclined on a soft sofa with his legs slightly bent.There were still faint and muted groans, as the man continued to endure the pain that was gradually subsiding.Yes, just a few hours ago, this man, who was around 50 years old, had been in a rather serious accident. The person he had collided with was now in the hospital, and he had to cover the medical expenses. Not only that, but he also had to bear the cost of the damages to the victim's car, which he had rear-ended."Argh! What a terrible day," he grumbled while holding his head, which still throbbed from the impact of the accident.As he was complaining with his throbbing head, a notification sound from his mobile phone interrupted him. He quickly grabbed his phone, unlocked it, and read the incoming notification.His eyes widened, and his heart raced when he saw the amount of $35,000 displa

Calista lifted the corner of her lips, forming a deadly smile as she watched a family from afar facing problems."You've seen it yourself, Gibson, they're paying quite a price, aren't they?"Gibson didn't like Kiara's attitude, how easily she turned away from her marriage for money. But he wasn't a cruel man, not to the point of denying people the chance to realize their mistakes."What are you thinking, Gibson? This is just a small payback," Calista stepped into the car. Gibson had been visibly unhappy with her actions since earlier."Isn't this going too far, Calista? I am angry and disappointed with Kiara, but..."Calista put her index finger on Gibson's lips. "Enough, Gibson, you're too kind, their family has insulted you, and it won't make them homeless."Calista didn't want to hear more of Gibson's, in her opinion, overly kind words towards Kiara's family.They decided to head back to Calista's house with their driver at the wheel, as Calista wouldn't let Gibson drive. Throughou

Gibson and Calista were still at the café when the lights dimmed slightly. Several candles were lit, and the melody of a piano began to fill the air. Calista was surprised by the sudden change in ambiance, especially when the nearby fountain started its mesmerizing display. "Wow, did you see that? The fountain is amazing! I didn't think there would be a fountain in this café. From the outside, it looks so simple, but it's incredibly luxurious inside," Calista exclaimed with a joyful smile. As a few people started descending to the dance floor, they began dancing to the rhythm of the piano. Calista couldn't stop smiling as she watched the scene unfold. Gibson, on the other hand, got up from his seat and knelt in front of Calista. "Calista, would you like to dance with me?" Gibson asked with hope in his eyes. Calista was overwhelmed with happiness and could hardly contain her excitement. "Gibson... I didn't think I could dance here. I'm shy," she admitted. "Why be shy? No one will
