His voice took on a more alluring and resonant tone.
“Miss Moran, please don’t let what just happened bother you. The thing is, I want to propose a deal,” Cyrus said.
Noelle’s confusion was evident as she asked, “What kind of deal?”
“I’m sure you can see that I have no affection for Melody, so I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend so I can easily call off the engagement with her. In return, I will assist you in becoming a renowned star. I will ensure that you win the Best Actress award, and help you seek retribution against Delavan. If you desire to personally deal with that scum, I can keep him detained for you.”
Noelle remained silent, absorbing his words.
He pressed on, “I’m sure Lucinda must have made grand promises to you, but I know you dislike being indebted to others. She has always been there for you, and you feel guilty for not being able to repay her. Besides, her career is on the rise in the entertainment circle, but I’m already at the pinnacle.

Hearing what he said, a wave of relief washed over her, and she let out a sigh.
“What’s the matter?” he asked, puzzled by her reaction.

“Yes, it would be my honor to partner with you!”
“Alright, I’ll have Malcolm arrange for a lawyer to draft the agreement as soon as possible. All you need to do is be on the same page with me.”
“Okay.”
The more Melody pondered the situation, the hotter her anger bubbled within her.

“Bitch! They are all bitches!”
Galen attempted to console her.
“Miss Hernandez, take it easy. Once we’re back, we’ll figure something out. Your engagement with Mr. Simmons was a mutual decision between your families. Even if he wants to call it off, he needs his father’s approval. It’s not going to be a walk in the park.”
Melody clenched her fists so tight that it seemed like she was on the brink of losing her mind.
“I swear on my life, he won’t break this engagement! But what happened today was so infuriating. I have to teach him a lesson. I need to show him that I’m not someone to be pushed around easily!”
Her gaze was fixated on the Peace Mountain, which was fading away, with burning rage in her eyes.
“And as for Noelle, that bitch has to die. Lucinda’s been a pain too.
