News that this cold, ridiculously good–looking CEO was stepping into movies was already the kind of thing that made headlines blow up.

Jeremy wasn’t just a business powerhouse–he was also a crazy–handsome young bachelor with major charm.

Tall, perfectly built, and carrying himself with natural confidence, he was like walking temptation.

With looks, status, and charisma all at once, he made the entertainment industry’s carefully manufactured idols look cheap in comparison.

Amelia, who had been unsure at first, thought about it and realized this might actually be a win.

The investor wouldn’t just pour in money–he’d even take a supporting role himself, pulling in attention and hype for the movie.

She had also been nervous about filming romantic scenes with a guy for the first time.

But if it was Jeremy, she actually felt calm about it.

“Alright, you’re the investor, so it’s up to you. But if you’re going to act in the film, we still need to check with the director and see what he says.”

Amelia finally agreed, and Jeremy, of course, didn’t object.

Back home, she quickly told the director, Sylvester Manwaring, and they arranged another meeting to go over things.

Amelia worried the famously strict Sylvester might shoot down the idea of Jeremy acting.

After all, he didn’t have training–not even a hobby.

But once Jeremy auditioned, Sylvester couldn’t stop complimenting him.

He thought Jeremy’s vibe, personality, and even his social standing fit the part perfectly.

What shocked everyone more was that the terrifying CEO actually had impressive acting skills.

Especially in fight scenes–he didn’t even need a stuntman.

It was obvious he had a natural gift for it.

Amelia completely agreed.

As for the main leads, Amelia left the choices to Patience and Sylvester.

She trusted them to carefully filter candidates, making sure the actors and actresses had both skills and a decent reputation, plus enough public recognition.

Once it was set that Jeremy would play opposite her, he was in an unusually good mood and even suggested grabbing dinner together.

She initially hesitated, but since they were about to act in scenes against each other, she said

yes.

It was also a good chance to talk about the story and review the script.

They went to a nice restaurant and got a table by the window.

Jeremy politely pulled out Amelia’s chair, waiting for her to sit before taking his seat across from her.

He handed her the menu and let her order whatever she wanted, so she just picked a few dishes casually.

While waiting for food, they started chatting about the script. And honestly, hearing a CEO talk about a script carried some serious weight.

It was obvious he had studied it carefully and genuinely wanted to do well.

No wonder he could run the Curran Group, turn his family business into the richest in the country, and land himself in the top ten billionaires–he even took a small script this seriously.

The truth was, Jeremy just wanted to act alongside Amelia. He absolutely didn’t want her doing romantic scenes with anyone else.

He wouldn’t have considered acting if she weren’t the second female lead.

So, he only took it on because of her.

Meanwhile, Gianna was eating with friends at another table when she got an update from her private investigator.

“What? Amelia actually took the role? And it’s a period drama?”

Reading the news, she was stunned, and her irritation boiled over.

“Gianna, your sister probably just got stuck with some awful script; nothing shocking there. If you want a role, you can pick from plenty of good ones.”

Her friend, also in the business, knew Amelia had the Nygards backing her and that her brothers spoiled her.

So she flattered Gianna, praising her nonstop.

Gianna, who loved being buttered up, felt her anger ease a little.

“Exactly. That trash project was something I didn’t want anyway–it was written by one of Maxwell’s company’s contracted writers. It’s garbage.”

She said it smugly, acting like Amelia had picked up her leftovers.

The storyline was outdated, the costumes and makeup completely off–trend, and all wrapped in some fake patriotic packaging, with the female lead dressed in rags.

None of it matched her fairy–like image. In the industry, she was known for her pure, high–end vibe.

She wouldn’t lower herself to something so tacky.

She was confident that the ratings would tank, and it would be a total waste.

She assumed Amelia had no other options after leaving the company, couldn’t find work elsewhere, and was forced to take on this low–level script.

Gianna already knew Marcelo’s orders: Amelia was to be blacklisted, with all her chances in the industry cut off.
