Chapter 437:
“Devin, the guests you’ve invited for this reality show are quite the characters,” Leah said, turning to Devin with a slight roll of her eyes. “They’re all so distinct, with remarkable backgrounds or eccentric traits. It’s fascinating.”
Devin managed a nervous chuckle, at a loss for words. Truth be told, the guests he initially wanted couldn’t attend, leaving room for these prominent figures to take their places. He felt somewhat powerless about it.
“By the way, who’s the last guest?” Leah asked, her interest piqued. The previous guests were all known entities, so she was curious about this mystery arrival.
“It’s Daniel Chadwick.”
“Oh, right!” Leah raised an eyebrow, remembering the name from a list she had seen earlier.
“He’s the third son of the Chadwick family, quite the playboy. They bought his way into the show.” Devin looked frustrated as he shared this. It was all due to capital manipulation; none of the guests were his personal choices. Even Carlton and Demi were involved because of such tactics. Carlton was new to the entertainment industry, looking for exposure, while Demi hoped to garner more resources through the show.
Leah walked over and patted Devin on the shoulder.
“Look on the bright side! That’s just how the world works. Either you manipulate the game, or you play along.”
“Ms. Sugden, can I align with you then?” Devin asked, half-jokingly.
“Uh…” Leah quickly withdrew her hand, shifting her focus to the video screen.
If Devin were younger and more attractive, she might have considered a different response, much like Vernon, who, with his striking looks, became her subordinate and rose to prominence with her guidance.
“Hey, Daniel has finally arrived,” Leah said, spotting a figure on the video.

A fashionably dressed man appeared, exuding arrogance as if he owned the world.
Daniel took off his sunglasses, his face marked by a look of haughty disdain.
“Mr. Chadwick, it seems we’re a bit late. The other guests are probably already here,” his manager said awkwardly.
“So what?” Daniel casually cleaned his sunglasses. “They’re nobodies. Even if one is an award-winning actor, wasn’t he just boosted by my mother? If our family withdraws support, his career is over.”
His tone dripped with disdain, dismissive of everyone, particularly Stephen.
The manager, maintaining a polite smile, knew better than to upset the powerful Chadwick heir.
“If it weren’t for the attractive female guests last time, I wouldn’t bother with this trivial show,” Daniel said disdainfully, his eyes revealing a flicker of desire.
The manager saw this but remained silent. While others joined the show for exposure, Daniel was there for romance, confident his status would easily attract the female guests.
“Karl, you’re dismissed. I’ve got the rest covered,” Daniel said, waving him off.
“If you say so.” With a curt nod, the manager turned on his heel and strode away.
Sliding on his sunglasses with practiced precision, Daniel grabbed his suitcase and sauntered toward the villa, exuding unwarranted confidence.
His knuckles rapped lightly on the wooden door, but he made no move to open it himself. In his mind, someone of his caliber deserved nothing less than a lavish welcome, complete with fawning admiration from the staff.
