Milo was frantic over the sudden termination of the cooperation by the Sanders family from Harborpoint.

The share price of Baker Group was plummeting without any warning, putting Milo under intense pressure during board meetings, where he was struggling to regain control. Consequently, his plans to do anything in Brookville were urgently suspended.

Meanwhile, J, who could no longer tolerate Winter's existence, had been persistently causing trouble for her online. She was digging up as much dirt as she could find.

However, no matter how much trouble J stirred up for Winter, Charles would resolve it. Eventually, J reached a point of near madness and directly started harassing Winter, just as Charles had predicted.

Amidst all this chaos came the much-anticipated movie premiere of Unchallenged Dominion. Rumors spread that Charles would be attending the event personally, causing a frenzy of excitement.

In Brookville, Charles was a name that held immense power and influence. While many had heard of him, few had actually seen him in person. Even during the height of his scandal with Winter, his photo had only appeared briefly before being swiftly removed. This left everyone eager to catch a glimpse of this legendary figure.

The film itself was also a significant draw. Directed by a well-known filmmaker and featuring a stellar cast, Unchallenged Dominion included not just Winter but also Royal Star's top actress, Brielle, and the international superstar, Colbey Wonders.

When news of the movie's release initially broke, it sparked widespread interest. The premiere quickly became one of the most sought-after events, and many media outlets went to great lengths to obtain tickets.

In the backstage area, Winter sat while the stylist worked meticulously on her looks, making her appear flawless. Even the crew members nearby could not help but praise her beauty.

excitement-mainly because Charles was expected to attend.

Although she could not quite pinpoint what exactly she was looking forward to, the idea of his presence thrilled her. The

compliments from the staff further boosted her mood, and she even responded more graciously than usual.

Suzy stood nearby, holding Winter's gown while listening to the compliments. Though a trace of envy flickered in her eyes, she quickly masked it with a smile.

"Winter, your dress is ready," Suzy announced. "You should change into it now. The premiere will start soon."

"Has Mr. Hoffman arrived?" Winter asked, showing that her main concern was whether or not Charles had made it to the event.

Squinting slightly, Suzy replied, "Not

yet, but he should be on his way. You know, someone as busy as Charles isn't likely to arrive early. We should be grateful he's attending at all

Walking over to adjust Winter's attire, Suzy added with a smile, "Winter, you look absolutely stunning today. I bet all the cameras will be focused on you."

"Really?" Winter felt especially validated hearing Suzy's praise, trusting her implicitly.

"Absolutely," Suzy reassured her.

"Is everyone ready? We're about to start!"
