Chapter 17
It was an open secret in the industry that anyone who signed with Flying Hawk Entertainment was guaranteed to win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards of that year,
This was because Flying Hawk Entertainment was backed by the powerful Adams Corporation, a key player in the industry.
However, this event wasn’t open to the public. So, the media couldn’t capture any photos.
In the evening, a luxurious yet understated Bentley pulled up at the Carlton Hotel,
Soon, the dignified and aloof Ralph stepped out of the car, shortly followed by Amber.
Ralph had taken over Walters Corporation at a young age. He had successfully driven the company to the top in just a few years. Legitimate businesses and institutions, as well as those from the underworld, knew not to mess with him.
As soon as Ralph and Amber appeared, they attracted many watchful eyes.
After all, Ralph’s private life involving two women had been a hot topic online recently. It had even affected the stock prices of Walters Corporation.
However, with his capabilities, Ralph had been able to turn things around.
Amber was wearing an exquisite custom-made gown. She stood by Ralph’s side, exuding a charming
and pitiable air.
Over the past three months, she had been frequently interrogated by the police and had even been detained at the police station for 15 days.
Despite that, Ralph had been quite indifferent to her plight.
However, Hugo was still just a child and had constantly cried for his mother. So, Ralph had stepped in
to handle the situation.
Amber felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. No matter what happened, Lia had lost her child and had been casted out. Amber had achieved her goal and secured her position as Mrs. Walters.
In the dazzling banquet hall, the atmosphere was lively.
Ralph owned some shares in Flying Hawk Entertainment. He only held a small number of the company’s shares, as it was just a casual investment for him. However, his social status was enough to make him a guest of honor.
Upon their arrival, Ralph and Amber were immediately surrounded by people who were eager to chat.
“I heard that Flying Hawk Entertainment has a new director who’s quite influential. Have you heard about this?”
“They said that this banquet was specifically held for the new director.”
“This new director seems to have some connections with Eleanor!”
Amber listened to the conversations around her and felt a spark of hope, She looked at Ralph excitedly.
She would be better off pursuing an acting career rather than tolling tirelessly in the theater troupe, She had wanted to join the entertainment industry for some time now, but she just hadn’t found the right time to discuss it with Ralph.
Ralph was calm and dignified as he talked to the guests, keeping a polite distance from them with an air of aloofness.
As soon as the guests walked away, Amber couldn’t wait any longer and said, “Ralph, I was thinking of quitting the troupe, Could you maybe talk to this new director for me? 1…”
Ralph frowned slightly and sipped his drink nonchalantly. His voice was as cool as ever. “Alright, I Bot it,”
It was just a small favor of putting in a word for Amber. It wouldn’t take much effort.
Amber looked up at Ralph and smiled. She knew that he wouldn’t refuse any of her requests.
Suddenly, the banquet hall buzzed with activity.
Someone spoke up, “Look, Mr. Adams of the Adams Corporation is here too. But, why does his girlfriend look so familiar?”
Jacob exuded a noble and distant air. His every move was filled with poise and power that couldn’t be ignored.
The woman holding onto his arm was also attracting a lot of attention.
Lia was strikingly beautiful. She wore a one-of-a-kind, custom-made black dress that had been flown in from abroad. It made her stand out and helped her inherent beauty and elegance shine through. She looked sophisticated and not at all gaudy.
Ralph’s face darkened the moment he saw her. His eyes narrowed slightly.
Lia had been missing for three months. But she was here now, appearing before him once again.
She smiled brightly as she linked her arm with Jacob’s. Their intimate posture indicated that their relationship wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
Lia knew that Ralph would be present at the event. In this circle, they would inevitably meet sooner or
later.
As Mrs. Walters, she had mostly just worked in his company and had rarely appeared with him in such settings.
Lia glanced at Amber, who was standing beside Ralph. Her eyes showed no emotion.

3/3
The disappointment she once felt was no longer as biting. She had always been the wife, and now ex- wife, that Ralph couldn’t proudly show off to others.
Now that she saw Ralph and Amber together, it seemed like the scoundrel and the villainess were indeed a perfect match!
