Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Joseph didn't turn down any of his requests and even asked, "Need a cleaning?"

"Make it spotless."

Joseph nodded and immediately took the bullet to be cleaned and sanitized.

King had his shoulder wrapped in gauze, looking much better. After the doctor finished the bandaging, he left.

King went upstairs alone, took a shower without getting the gauze wet, and once he felt warm, he slid under the covers and wrapped Brielle in his arms.

"Little Canary," he whispered. There was no response, but he contentedly nuzzled into her neck and drifted off to sleep.

Beaconsfield.

After arriving here with the crew, Emma was assigned a room. Many people came to see her during her stay. According to other hopefuls, these visitors were judges who would score each contestant's image.

Emma stood out so much that almost every judge took a keen interest in her. But when asked about her talents-singing, dancing, chatting-she couldn't do any of them.

Left with no choice, Stellar Stage Entertainment had to settle everyone into a residential area for the time being. This area was specially developed by Stellar Stage Entertainment, reportedly costing billions to secure the land, all in an effort to nurture new talents in the entertainment industry. Stellar Stage Entertainment really went all out to ensure these newcomers were well taken care of.

Compared to the dorms that housed ten people in one room, Stellar Stage Entertainment's arrangement was truly generous. Emma was given a room of about 430 square feet. There was a communal dining hall, and her schedule was packed with various posture and presentation classes. Peyton, of course, stayed with her.

From her first day in the big city, Peyton felt uneasy, especially amid the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets. She worried her worn clothes and calloused hands would draw ridicule. But thankfully, they were accompanied by members of the crew, all from Stellar Stage Entertainment, who paid no mind to their attire.

Even as Peyton lay in bed, the whole

experience felt surreal. They had actually settled in Beaconsfield. Beaconsfield! The place her man had dreamt of making his fortune before he met his untimely death there. For many women in the village, the biggest dream was to live in town. To them, moving to town was the height of vanity.

No one ever imagined settling in Beaconsfield.

Peyton cautiously explored the items in the room. The decor was simple, featuring a bed, a kitchen about 108 square feet, a living area of the same size, plus a bedroom and a bathroom, making the small home feel very cozy.

In the beginning, Peyton was incredibly nervous. After all, a pair of shoes cost a hundred back in town. She dared not think how much they would cost in Beaconsfield and barely ventured outside for the first few days, relying on Emma to come get her for meals after classes.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Peyton's first visit to the luxurious dining hall left her feeling out of place.

Emma, having spent days training with the posture coaches, wasn't as shy around strangers. In the village, she had always been bold, and after the initial adjustment period, she began to feel more at ease her She worked hard in every class, knowing this was her chance to change her destiny, and she was determined to seize it!

Just as Emma and Peyton sat down, a snooty girl sitting next to them scoffed and dramatically pinched her nose.

"Ugh, I was wondering why the air suddenly turned foul. Looks like the country bumpkins have arrived."

Peyton, mortified by the remark,

stood up to leave, but Emma pulled

her back down and faced the girl. This girl, Leona, was also a contender for the host position and one of the favorites. Leona was beautiful and sweet-looking, reportedly from a wealthy Beaconsfield family with several properties. She wore jewelry worth tens of thousands, not lacking in money but seeking fame or perhaps even more wealth.

After all, everyone knew fortune came quickly in the entertainment world.
