It was a long-awaited and exciting day for one of Darian City's largest corporations. Famous celebrities around the globe were invited as the judges for tonight's upcoming finale of choosing among the best participants for the movie role. One couldn't fathom how grand it would be. It was to be expected that outstanding figures around Darian City wouldn't want to miss such an opportunity to come view the new emerging stars! At the high-rise "Dreams Do Come True" corporate building. Outstanding men, carrying confidence, and gorgeous ladies with ravaging statures were either preparing or rehearsing in the lobby. The smell of competitiveness in the atmosphere could be felt. In the unsuspecting corner beside the vending machine, a chubby man could be seen gazing intently at the cup of coffee in his hand. This person had just arrived not too long ago. "Good stuff! The aroma is neither too strong nor too light, just perfect!" Sett gulped down the coffee. The flavor was provoking his taste
The moment Sett stepped into the elevator, he knew that his fate was sealed. Meeting face-to-face with his mother-in-law and father-in-law inside the elevator was like stepping on a landmine. His sister-in-law, Elena, was also present with an unreadable expression; maybe she was baffled or something. Sett's father-in-law, Mr. Clayton Laurel, crossed his muscular forearm arm between his chest, his tiger-like gaze pricking Sett's skin. On the other hand, his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Laurel, was narrowing her bright green eyes into slits. Talking about being stalked by a venomous snake...There was a long, painful-awkward silence. The stiffness in the air was suffocating.Meanwhile, Elena Laurel had an amused look glued to her sweet face. Seeing the dumbfounded expression on her brother-in-law's face made her day. Indeed, she was enjoying it..."I didn't expect to see you here, my darling son-in-law." Mrs. Elizabeth was the first to break the ice with her soothing voice.Sett didn't i
"Honey, there's no need to banter with a tumor-like him." Mrs. Elizabeth spoke to her husband while unfolding her fan. Her expression turned dead serious as she shifted her gaze to Sett. "Listen, I have high expectations of my daughter Sheila. As a mother, I want my daughter Sheila to have the best man for her life partner and I can't imagine wasting her life with a nobody like you who doesn't have a future." Mrs. Elizabeth spoke haughtily. She didn't mind hurting others to make her message crystal clear. "I.." Sett's countenance turned pale as he felt a pang in his heart. He couldn't properly utter the words out of his mouth. "We aren't in-laws anymore, so don't bother calling me one. Oh, before I forget, I know you refuse to divorce my daughter. Regardless, the divorce will still go through. Hmmph!" Mrs. Elizabeth snorted while pursuing her lips. She surveyed the gathering audience, who were taking their seats while others were passing by them toward their designated area in
"Please don't leave me, my love!" The young man in an 18th-century French costume kneeled and pleaded while gripping the hand of the young, gorgeous lady in a traditional French gown. In the background, the soothing melody of the violin reaches its crescendo."There's nothing between us, Mike. I've fallen in love with someone else. I'm sorry." The gorgeous lady was filled with sorrow as she wiped the teardrop from her eyes. At that point, the music abruptly ceased, indicating the end of the scripted acting play by these two wonderful contestants. Although it was somewhat cheesy, it was necessary. Furthermore, the audience loved it as they stood up from their seats and gave thunderous applause of acknowledgment to the two wonderful contestants on the stage, who bowed toward the audience. They were confident they'd get a great role in the movie after showcasing their superior script acting. That garnered the judges' attention. While the audience enjoyed the performance, the same thing
Someone in the audience chimed in. "It turns out that it's that young man's fault." A famous actress pointed out her finger as she stated. "That waiter had respectfully served me a drink of juice, and for a waiter to misstep is not likely to occur, so that young man is at fault." Sett's expression hardened. He was stunned and speechless at the absurdity of the whole situation. Everyone was making accusing remarks to his face. Director Chou shouted in wrath. "Someone call supervisor Edward or the security guards and kick this rubbish out!" 'What a load of crap is this guy saying?' Sett frowned as he finally took note of the middle-aged man who was enticing everyone to kick him out. 'Hmm? Isn't this the guy that claimed he saw me tripping the waiter? This waiter and this guy should be in cahoots with one another...' The more Sett thought about it, the more accurate his speculation became.However, the question was why were they scheming against him? Just then, Sett's eyes narrowe
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?" Mr. Clayton horsily said, for one, he felt like bleaching his eyes. He just couldn't believe it. His face continued to spasm as he uttered."T-That goofball is the Chairman?" Was the universe making a big joke on him? Is it possible for a nobody like Sett to be the chairman of one of the largest corporations in Darian City and a judge at that? Isn't that bullsh*t? But he couldn't deny that the directors were being polite and excited as they greeted Sett on stage.Mrs. Elizabeth wasn't moving a single limb like she was having a stroke. One would really think so if it weren't for her ruddy lip being parted. However, no syllables came out of her mouth. She was in utter disbelief..."Brother-in-law..." Elena, with hazy eyes, stared at Sett while she unconsciously bit her seductive lower lips. She badly wanted to know how Sett managed to become the Chairman of the Dreams Do Come True company.Nonetheless, this shocking revelation wasn't the end of it y
"Police Commissioner Collen... I presume?" Ms. Scarlett glanced at a bare-headed man who was barely wearing anything; presently he was being forcefully pinned on the table by Macho Karl.A few minutes ago, Commissioner Collen had barely finished wrapping himself with his slightly wet towel after doing business with a prostitute in his private pool, and that's when he heard gunshots followed by the bloodcurdling screams of the guards outside. When he was about to check the situation, he saw a burly dude twice his size bolting toward him, and before he knew it, he was at the mercy of his assailants. Still, he could hardly believe how easily his men were defeated. It had to be said that his men were armed and every single one of them was a retired special operations veteran! However, when he saw the silhouette of a refined lady joining in, then, like a bubble, all his doubts dissipated. Presently, Commissioner Collen was stammering. "J-Jane Scarlett?" Simply saying that name filled h
With a cold expression, Ms. Scarlett grabbed Commissioner Collen's hair; surprise could be written on his face. "What do you think you're doing?" Commissioner Collen spoke in panic, as his eyes showed trepidation. The thing that Ms. Scarlett hated the most was being looked down upon by those weaker than her! A prey looking down on a predator, to be precise... A single glance was all it took for Ms. Scarlett to decide who was the predictor and who was the prey! And this commissioner, whom she saw as prey, was mocking her? It can not be tolerated! With unbelievable strength, Ms. Scarlett banged the commissioner's head against the wooden table's plateau, snapping it in half. "Ah!" Commissioner Collen's shrieks were ear-piercing. Witnessing such a bloody scene was unnerving. This was the first time Sett had seen how Ms. Scarlett dealt with enemies. He gulped hard while sweating bullets. He had to take extra note that behind Ms. Scarlett's gentle smile hid a frightening beast. "I
