Chapter 151

In Paris

As soon as Lily walked away with her group. Ryan swiftly approached Rose, his face clouded with concem.

Gripping her arm gently but firmly, he asked in a lushed, anxious tone. “Rose, did she say anything? Who is he?

Who is her husband? Is he here? Is he srich, powerful, and influential man? Do we know him

Rose raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a sly smile. “Why are you so flustered, Ryan Are you planning to

compare yourself to her husband? Or are you perhaps jealous?”

Ryan chuckled awkwardly, tapping her forehead lightly with his finger. “Con, Rose. What nonsense are you

thinking? Why would | be jealous of someone insignificant? | was just curious after all, this mysterious husband of

hers nearly caused my business to crumble

Rose let out a small sigh, her shoulders relaxing. Tim sorry, Ryan. | shouldn't have doubted your intentions. It's

just that... talking to her makes my head ache. | can’t stand her attitude!

“I understand,” Ryan said softly. “But tell me, did she give you any hints? Is he here?*

Rose shook her head. “No, she said he’s not here yet. But Ryan, you know what's strange? She toldthat |

wouldn't believe her even if she revealed who he is. Doesn't that sound suspicious?”

Ryan’s brows knitted together. “She said that? Could he be someone important, someone powerful?”

Rose shrugged casually. | doubt it. Think about it, Ryan. Who is Lily anyway? To the world, she’s just the eldest

daughter of the Miller Family. She has no fame, no power, nothing. Sure, she’s pretty, but apart from her face

and her figure, what else does she have to offer?”

Ryan frowned, deep in thought. “Let’s wait and see who this mysterious husband is.”

“Agreed,” Rose said as they turned and walked away.

Meanwhile, across the grand hall, Lily and Mia made their way toward Director Young-

“Good evening, Director Young,” they greeted in unison.

The older man’s face lit up with a warm smile as he looked at Lily. “Ah, my beautiful actress, Lily! You look

absolutely stunning tonight.”

“Thank you, Director Young. Lily replied politely with a smile..

“Lily, have you heard about Director Amel Brext? Director Young asked.

Both Lily and Mia nodded.

“Excellent,” Director Young said with a chuckle. “Director Amel Brext is an old friend of mine. He's currently

working on a new thriller project titled Stabbed. He's been looking for a lead actress, and after seeing your

talent, | recommended you to him. He's agreed to have you audition. Would you be interested?”

Lily's eyes sparkled with excitement. “Absolutely, Director Young! Director Amel Brext is such nowned filmmaker,

and being part of his project would be an incredible honor.

Director Young smiled approvingly. “That's the spirit! I'll make the arrangements for your audition. Best of luck,

Mia grabbed Lily’s arm, practically vibrating with excitement. “Lily, this is HUGE! Director Amel Brext is famous

for being incredibly selective. He's a perfectionist! If you land this role, it could skyrocket your

career.”

Lily smiled shyly. “I hope so, Mia.”

“And wait, do you know who's playing the male lead in this film? Mia asked, her voice dropping conspiratorially.

Lily shook her head. “No idea. Who is it?”

Mia's face lit up like fireworks. “Jelf! Can you believe it? THE Jeff! Oh, he’s so handsome! Do you know how many

actresses dream about working with him? If you get this role, | might faint from excitement just thinking about

seeing him on set every day!”

Mia clutched her chest tically while Lily laughed, feeling both excited and nervous about the opportunity

that had just landed in her lap.

Lily nudged Mia playfully with her elbow, a teasing smile on her face. “Sister Mia, does Big Brother James know

about this little rival of his?”

Mia smirked mischievously. “Nope, and you better not tell him! Anyway, that’s his problem, not mine”

Both women burst into laughter, their lighthearted giggles filling the space. However, their attention was soon

drawn to the entrance as Ethan stepped into the room. His arrival immediately shifted the atmosphere. Every

pair of female eyes locked onto him, captivated by his commanding presence.

Ethan exuded a cold and authoritative aura, one that demanded attention and respect. His tailored black suit

paired with a deep red tie complemented Lily's dress perfectly, almost as if they had coordinated. beforehand.

His sharp features and confident stride made him undeniably magnetic, but it was the subtle intensity in his eyes

that left an indelible impression on everyone.

Lily’s smile faltered slightly as she noticed the open admiration-and borderline infatuation-on the faces of the

women around her. But a sense of pride swelled in her chest. That incredible man was hers and hers alone.

Their eyes met across the room, and Ethan's cold expression softened ever so slightly as Lily offered him a

radiant smile. Without breaking eye contact, he made his way toward the VIP section, settling into an exclusive

corner of the room.

The party soon calive with lively chatter, music, and clinking glasses. Guests mingled, couples swayed on

the dance floor, and the air was filled with the scent of luxurious delicacies and fine wine. With Ethan nearby. Lily

found herself truly enjoying the evening, her earlier anxieties melting away.

After a while, feeling slightly parched, Lily reached for a glass of wine from a passing waiter’s tray. But just as

she was about to take a sip, she felt an intense gaze on her. Looking up, she saw Ethan watching her with a

disapproving frown, shaking his head subtly.

Before she could react, a waitress approached with a polite smile and handed her a glass of ju “Ma’am, this is for

you.”

Lily sighed softly but accepted the juice with a smile. “Thank you.” She exchanged her wine glass for the juice

and cast a playful pout in Ethan's direction before walking away.

Ethan's stern expression melted into an amused chuckle as he shook his head. His gaze had been locked onto

her from the moment she entered the room, and he couldn't help but admire how stunning she

Yet, despite his amusement, a flicker of jealousy bubbled within him. He had noticed the way other men in the

room looked at his wife-with undisguised desire, admiration, and envy. It made his chest tighten with

possessiveness.

Unable to suppress the impulse any longer, Ethan stood up from his seat. The room fell silent almost instantly.

The music stopped, conversations ceased, and every eye turned to him in confusion and curiosity.

Lily froze as she realized he was walking directly towards her. Her heart raced uncontrollably in her chest, her

breath catching in her throat. What was he doing?

Ethan strode confidently across the floor, his sharp gaze locked onto her. He stopped just a step away from her,

his presence overwhelming yet gentle.

The crowd watched with bated breath, questions swirling in their minds. Why was Ethan, a man known for his

cold demeanor and disinterest in social interactions, suddenly approaching Lily so publicly!?

Without hesitation, Ethan extended his hand towards her and spoke in a deep, smooth voice. “Miss Lily, may |

have this dance with you?”

The room buzzed with excitement and curiosity as all eyes remained fixed on the pair standing in the spotlight.
