Chapter 65

• The banquet hall was brimming with energy as cast members, producers, investors, and their friends and families mingled over food and drinks. The atmosphere was relaxed yet lively, with conversations and laughter filling the air.
• When Lily and Mia entered the hall, Director Young promptly noticed them and beckoned them over. He graciously introduced the pair to various attendees, ensuring they felt included. Lily greeted everyone with poise and began engaging in polite conversation, making an effort to connect with those around her.
• Meanwhile, from a corner of the room, Rose and Nathan watched the scene unfold, their expressions tinged with disdain. Rose had invited Ryan to accompany her tonight, but he was unable to attend due to work commitments. As the two whispered to each other, the chatter in the hall shifted, and heads turned toward the entrance.
