From Divorce To Dominance

The audience was left staring at Wendy, who was on edge with excitement, asking. "What's going on with Natalie? Show us already!" But in the next instant, the camera suddenly cut away. All sounds faded into silence, and the live chat seemed to freeze, with countless pairs of eyes glued to the entrance, stunned in place. It felt like a scene straight out of a fantasy show, something you wouldn't even see on TV. When Natalie last participated in the audition, people thought it was already quite the scene. This time, it was even bigger. Their poor imagination just couldn't keep up.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

At the

entrance, a flashy red convertible came to a halt, followed by six trucks. The first three trucks were loaded with brand-name clothes of various styles, some still bearing their tags. The fourth truck overflowed with dozens of suitcases. The fifth had about a dozen suited bodyguards standing by, alongside a gaggle of maids in uniforms. The sixth truck featured several chefs wearing smiles and bowing politely. They were surrounded by fresh fruits, vegetables, pots, and pans. While others came to check in with just their luggage, it looked like Natalie was trying to move her whole house. Just as everyone was reeling from the sight, two maids stepped forward to hold umbrellas, and Natalie gracefully stepped out of the she wore a bouffant, pure white dress.

Natalie pulled out a card number and displayed it to everyone. Wendy squinted at it and exclaimed, "Number 8. Ms. Xavier and Tessa are in the same room. I wish I could stay with the two gorgeous ladies."

She jokingly glanced at the camera, saying, "Let me join them, Director Pierce. I'd do anything to stay-even sleep on the floor." Wendy, the bost from the entertainment channel, was a pro at livening up the mood. As soon as she said that, the comments flooded in, with fans chiming in wanting to sleep on the floor of room 8 too.

[I don't even need to sleep. I could be the guardian for these beauties.]

Chill, young one. Being a guardian requires skills you might not possess; let me take over.]

With the crowd cheering her on, Tessa carefully set the pricey skincare products from the sponsors right in the spotlight.

When she heard people talking about Natalie, a quick look of worry flashed in her eyes, but she quickly smiled like nothing! was wrong. "Honestly, my family isn't all that rich, especially compared to Ms. Xavier. I heard she made a big entrance earlier with her own It was her. It pretty impressive.

Tessa had heard the fans saying that Natalie's entourage was impressive but hadn't thought much of it-until she saw all the maids. She sure knows how to put on a show, Tessa thought.

Internally, she scoffed, but she kept smiling on the surface. She pulled out a set of skincare products. "Ms. Xavier, it's a pleasure to be your roommate. Here's a little welcome gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."

Natalie glanced over, asking, "Smooth Skin?"

"Yep." Tessa stood a little straighter, feeling proud.

Many wealthy women would line up to get it, but Tessa's endorsers had a special appreciation for her and gave her a few extra sets. She believed she was enough to give this gift to someone like Natalie. To her surprise, Natalie didn't seem impressed. She smiled politely but distantly, saying. Thank you, but I don't need it.
