Chapter 434
Chapter 434:
However, Leonidas was skilled at manipulating people, certain that Janice wouldn’t ignore Stephen, her brother, thereby putting herself in a disadvantageous position.
A wave of warmth radiated from her palm.
Janice turned to Aiden, who was sitting next to her. He remained silent, but his eyes said it all. He would stand by her side no matter the circumstances. Janice nodded in response, restraining her emotions. Then, she resumed her usual poised and collected manner, catching Leonidas off guard.
It was no surprise she was his biggest rival. The way she adapted so quickly revealed her exceptionally strong mindset.
And Aiden was tough in his own right. But with Janice as his vulnerability, it made him less intimidating to Leonidas, similar to a tiger without its teeth.
“Janice, what brings you to this program?” Stephen asked, surprised to find Janice in the living room as he entered.
Demi observed this interaction, her frustration building inside. Why did Stephen have ties to Janice as well? The more she dwelled on it, the more her frustration grew, visibly aggrieved.
Carlton caught sight of her troubled expression and felt a pinch of compassion. “Are you alright, Demi?”
“I’m fine,” Demi replied with a forced smile, taking a deep breath to boost her spirits. “Perhaps it’s just that we’re strangers to each other, which makes them so distant. I’m quite resilient. Don’t worry about me.”
Her words left a positive impression on Carlton, softening his expression into a gentle, warm smile.
Demi was surprised. She hadn’t failed to charm the three men, yet she had unintentionally won Carlton’s approval, which wasn’t a poor result.
Meanwhile, Janice had already begun talking to Stephen.

“What if I told you I’m here to learn from you? Would that seem believable?”
Stephen paused for a moment, a bit surprised, before offering a helpless smile.
“You must be joking. Other than acting, what could you possibly want to learn from me? Are you thinking about entering the entertainment industry?”
“Why not?” Janice answered with a subtle smile. “The entertainment industry is quite fascinating.”
Stephen sighed, a hint of defeat in his gaze. While he wasn’t sure of Janice’s true motives, he liked her and felt a strange familiarity with her.
“The entertainment world is complex and chaotic. You don’t need to get tangled in this chaos.”
“Is that so? Are you speaking from experience?” Janice asked, gazing at Stephen, who merely shook his head gently, opting not to dig further into the subject.
Janice wisely decided to drop the topic, knowing they were on camera. Talking too much about the inner workings of the entertainment industry could negatively impact Stephen.
The mood momentarily turned awkward.
Janice and Aiden sat together, while Leonidas remained by himself. His eyes moved over the others, occasionally shooting cold, unsettling glances that made them feel a chill run down their spines.
On the other hand, Demi and Carlton were deeply engaged in an enthusiastic conversation.
The development was progressing smoothly, much to the surprise of the production team. They confirmed that Demi and Carlton were emerging as the most promising duo, thus they were given ample screen time.
