A few hours later. "How did it go?" Steve decided to wait for Sarah in the lobby after learning that Emmy had come to the Stellar Entertainment office. "Why are you still here, Steve?!" "I was waiting for you, Honey." "What about your job? Your boss will be angry if you don't work." Sarah looked worried. If Steve were fired, they wouldn't be able to eat because the family depended entirely on her husband's salary. So, Sarah tried to audition for movie roles to help them out. "You don't worry about it. I already asked my boss for permission. How did it go?" Steve hurriedly changed the subject. "Did you pass?" Sarah lowered sadly. "I'm sorry, Steve. I failed again." Steve was not surprised to hear that because Jack had informed him earlier that Jacob had a few percent stake in Stellar Entertainment. "Don't be discouraged, dear. I'm sure you'll get the lead in another movie." "Did you get rejected again?" Emmy suddenly came over with a mocking chuckle. "You don't need to answe
Steve clenched his fists tightly in anger but had to hold it in. Sarah would lose her parents if he aroused Jacob's anger because Jacob locked her in the house. "What do you want? Say it." "What are you able to give me?" Jacob mocked. "You don't have anything." "You bastard! Give me back my parents!" Sarah cursed. "I can't because they begged to live with me, and I never forced them. Besides, everything happened because of your fault. You didn't pick up your father's phone when your mother fainted. It would help if you had thanked me for saving your mother. If you had been a second too late, your mother would have died." Sarah was stunned to hear that. She cursed her carelessness in trapping her parents in the lion's den. "Where is my mother? I want to see my mother. I want to ensure she's okay because I don't trust you and my father. You guys always conspire to get whatever you want." "I won't allow it." "You have no authority to forbid me from meeting my parents! I'm his dau
"I've decided not to think of you as my mother anymore. I can't bear all the pressure from you and Robert anymore. If Jacob kicks you out later, never return to me. Goodbye." Sarah smiled briefly before walking out of the room, crying bitterly. "Shit! She's so stubborn! How do I get Sarah to leave Steve?" Jennifer walked back and forth in a panic while biting her nails. She thought hard about finding a way, but she always failed. Jacob suddenly walked in without knocking first. "You look failed again, Mrs. Jennifer. You already know the consequences, don't you?" He said coldly. His eyes radiated disappointment. "That means you have no more reason to stay in my mansion and enjoy my money." "Please give me one more chance, Jacob. I promise to get Sarah to divorce Steve and marry you soon!" Jennifer pleaded as she grasped the man's hand, but he brushed her off. "I hate waiting!" "Please, Jacob." Jennifer cried as she hugged the man's tan legs. "Give me one more chance." Jacob grunte
Robert and Jennifer looked at Steve disdainfully."Why don't you answer? Are you scared, Steve?" Robert mocked."You're a loser if you don't take Jacob's bet! Don't you believe in miracles?" Jennifer provoked. If Steve agrees, his plan to match Sarah and Jacob will be more accessible. Her status will also change, as she will become the mother-in-law of a conglomerate man.Steve nodded quickly. "Okay. But if you lose, you must stop bothering me and my wife.""Alright." For Jacob, fighting a little bug like Steve was easy. Moreover, the stakes were very tempting. He would get his ex-girlfriend back.After serving them, Steve went to the kitchen and then called someone. "Jack, you have an appointment with the owner of Stellar Entertainment at noon.""Okay."***Steve arrived at the fancy restaurant in Los Angeles, where famous Hollywood artists and singers gather to discuss work or have fun."Stop. You may not enter until you present your membership card." Two burly men intercepted him a
"Ellen?""Mr. Alvarez?" Ellen smiled happily. "I didn't expect you to be the investor in my father's company.""Do you know each other?" Roxy smiled excitedly. Steve and Ellen nodded."What a coincidence!" Roxy exclaimed happily."I had no idea you were Mr. Roxy's daughter. The world is too small." Steve smiled charmingly. "That means you're the future wife of this arrogant man?"Ellen glanced at her lover, then nodded. "You are right. Do you have a problem with him, Mr. Alvarez?""You know him too, my dear?""John kicked me out earlier because my appearance was so simple.""Really?" Ellen shocked. "How dare you kick out my boss, John." She scolded him elegantly.John was aghasted. "What?! Your boss?" He was speechless. How could Steve conquer one of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles? He was not only an investor but also his fiancée's boss.'Who exactly is Steve? Where did he get so much money from? Isn't he just an orphan whose origins are unclear?'"Since did you change your name t
"I didn't expect you to have still the courage to sit with us after you were humiliated by your husband." Emmy chuckled sarcastically."That's what comes of choosing the wrong husband," Jenny added."You're right, Mom," Jacob added.Sarah didn't respond, too lazy to argue.Jacob was satisfied to see no smile on Sarah's face. She and Steve must have quarreled in the bedroom.Robert and Jennifer couldn't protest Jacob to defend their daughter. They didn't want to be evicted and lose the privilege of living in the mansion.The atmosphere in the dining room was so quiet as they focused on enjoying their dinner.Steve came in and brought Sarah a dessert, strawberry pudding. "I've made it for you. I'm sure you'll like it." He hoped it would ease Sarah's irritation with him.Steve bought the pudding from a famous bakery in Los Angeles."Thank you," Sarah replied flatly, not even looking at Steve. She was very disappointed with her husband's decision to make her a gamble."You'rw so pathetic,
Jacob returned to the mansion feeling upset. 'Shit! I failed to persuade Mr. Alvarez because Ellen already knew my reason. But how did she find out? Did she hire a spy to watch me all this time?" Jacob almost went crazy thinking about that. He shook his head quickly. "That's not important right now. Now, I must find a way to overturn Mr. Alvarez's decision. I can't fail to get Sarah back!" "I'm not willing to be defeated by a poor man like Steve." He was vengeful that Steve had managed to snatch Sarah away from him. Jacob didn't understand his boss's way of thinking at all. Did he never watch the news, so he didn't know about Sarah's scandal? Because only a fool would give up millions of dollars for a loss. Had Mr. Alvarez known Sarah before, or had they dated? It's no secret that many actresses are willing to sell their bodies for promotions or intangible wealth. Jacob shook his head quickly. "There is no way Mr. Alvarez knows a lowly actress like Sarah. Let alone sleep with
Sarah was looking at herself in the mirror of the Entertainment Stellar bathroom to check her appearance. Soon, she had to do some photo shoots for the cover of her latest movie, so she had to make sure her appearance was perfect. "I didn't expect my dream to come true." A cheerful smile printed on her beautiful face. Krek! Sarah turned her head towards the door as someone entered the bathroom. "Jacob?" The woman was wide-eyed. "What are you doing in the women's bathroom?! Do you want to peek at the women here?!" Jacob chuckled as he walked over to Sarah. "You're right. I want to peek at the woman I love." "Who do you mean?" Sarah said curtly. She hated flirty married men. "I'm sure you know because you're the only woman here, darling." "Get away from me!" Sarah yelled angrily as she stepped back. Jacob's gaze looked so passionate. Unfortunately, she was cornered when her back hit the wall, and there was no way to run. "What are you doing?! I'll scream if you insolence me!"
