Your sister has a close relationship with Anton Cook, right?
I have first-hand gossip here.
Jimenez is also on the invitation list.
According to reliable news, it’s Cello Cook.
Now, who doesn’t know that Anton Cook is Cello Cook’s younger brother?
If you nudge your sister, maybe you could go too, broaden your horizons a bit?
...
By then, give us a live broadcast, it would definitely cause a sensation.”
Kevin Groove was taken aback: “My sister?”
The other party was full of envy: “Kevin, you’re really a winner in life.
Both of your sisters are more powerful than the other.”
A pride appeared in Kevin’s eyes as the corners of his mouth curled up.
At first, these sycophants buzzed around him day after day, not seeking to win him over but targeting the two sisters behind him.
Especially after Sanny Groove starred in a hit movie and won the Best Actress award, her career in the entertainment industry flourished.
As Sanny’s only younger brother, he became even more sought after.
Whether at home, at school, or in society, his identity was not “young Master Kevin Groove,” but rather “Aubree’s younger brother,” and “Alaric Moore’s younger brother.”
Kevin had no choice but to comply.
Kevin asked, “Is Anton Cook also going?”
“I don’t know about that, but in such a grand occasion, I’d certainly want to be there if it were me.”
Anton Cook clearly was not a thrill-seeker.
After class, Kevin rushed to the A Class of tenth grade: “Sis…”
A-Class was always the top class.
The students were cream of the crop.
The atmosphere in the classroom was silent and serious, the students immersed in their work, their faces full of concentration.
Sanny Groove was quietly sitting in the classroom, answering questions while wearing her school uniform.
Hearing the voice, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and within a flash, half the students raised their heads.
Seeing Kevin, they subconsciously glanced at Sanny.
Even though they have shared a class with Sanny for over a year, everyone still felt a sense of unreality.
The young woman sat quietly, dressed in a uniform, her silhouette slim and tall.
She wasn’t overly thin, but in shape, with fat where there should be and no trace of excess elsewhere.
A delicate face sat atop her slender neck.
Her skin wasn’t the clearest white, but exuded cleanliness, flawless.
When she looked at people, her clear eyes gleamed with amusement, but their depths exuded an intimidating authority.
At first glance, she seemed a gentle and fresh beauty.
However, after knowing her for a while, one would find that she deftly maintained distance from others, not letting anyone encroach on her personal space.
This left everyone reminding of another campus legend: Sanny’s junior.
Both of them really were cut from the same cloth.
Although they looked different, they both had a similarly aloof chill down to their core.
Especially their intelligence was beyond most ordinary people’s reach.
During Sanny’s freshman year, while she was busy promoting the movie Flames, she found the time to study.
Even without any earlier educational foundation to speak of, she ranked within the top 100 in her class by the end of semester finals.
After moving to tenth grade, she arranged all her filming for summer and winter vacations, leaving advertisements and events for the weekends.
She never missed or left school early for a day.
There was not an iota of celebrity aura about her.
It was as if she was an ordinary high school student.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off.
Her grades steadily increased with each test.
By the midterms, she had already ranked within the top fifteen of her grade.
This rapid progress was nothing short of a miracle for someone who had never received a systematic education before.
Boasting of an impressive lineage, the youngest Best Actress, along with her crushing intellect; and yet she was without an ounce of arrogance.
She interacted with others kindly and never let herself be taken advantage of.
In the minds of all the students, she was akin to a goddess.
However, this goddess had one headache: a troublesome little brother running rampant in Connell High School.
Sanny stood up, left the classroom, and once they were far enough reprimanded sternly, “In public, try not to shout like a lunatic, will you?”
“Sis.” Kevin unloaded all the news he had heard without holding back.
“Mr.
Cook is going to Percival to attend the princely coronation ceremony.
You and Aubree are close to Anton Cook.
Could you ask him to take me along?”
“My dear sister, could you…?” Kevin deployed all his coaxing skills.
Sanny, hearing his words, found them absurd: “What are you talking about?
What are you to Mr.
Cook?
Could you please stop behaving like a brat?”
“Then give me Aubree’s contact information.
I’ll talk to her myself.”
It’s been a while since Kevin saw Aubree.
He only knew that she seemed to have gone abroad to study.
Otherwise she would be preparing for college entrance exams this year.
However, she had already been recommended to Benefit University, so the exams were pointless.
Sanny gave him a glance, making Kevin slowly lower his head, pouting unhappily, muttering, “I just miss Aubree, is it too much to ask to say hello to her?”
“You have the audacity to bring up Aubree Groove?”
With that single sentence, Kevin Groove was silenced.
Thinking about all the things he had done, Kevin wished he could slap himself.
He had once crossed Aubree for Alora Hart, and now Alora Hart had become a wanted criminal, bringing misfortune to anyone involved with her.
After sending Kevin away, Sanny Groove stood by the railing for a while, feeling the wind.
She then returned to the classroom, grabbed her backpack, and left the school.
At the school gate, Sanny noticed the most ostentatious Ferrari.
She approached it and opened the passenger door.
“There’s a charity gala in Lostswa tomorrow night.
Go home and get a good rest tonight, and I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
“Oh, by the way, pick a script you like from these few.
It’s almost summer vacation, and after a year’s hiatus, everyone is eager for your new project.”
Sanny flipped through, all were big productions with well-established names.
Ms.
Martinez, her agent, was doing her job very well, arranging everything properly for her.
She helped to ease her burden, even when it came to choosing a script.
Her vision was excellent, and she understood the rules of the entertainment industry.
After gaining fame, you would face backlash.
Sanny’s rise had blocked the paths of many young actresses.
Ms.
Martinez had shielded her from much of the malicious attacks and pressure, allowing her to focus on her life and studies.
Even though Aubree Groove had asked Ms.
Martinez to look after her, Sanny was still very grateful.
Sanny closed the script: “I haven’t found one I liked.”
Ms.
Martinez raised an eyebrow: “That’s okay, I have more scripts.
What type do you like?
Something arty or something commercial?”
“I noticed a script on your office desk last time.
You were out, and I flipped through it on impulse.
I really liked it.”
Ms.
Martinez laughed: “I knew you had a discerning eye.
That’s a script that Aubree personally revised.”
Sanny asked: “I noticed the project started two years ago.
Why has the shooting been delayed?
Is it due to a lack of funding?”
“That’s not the reason.
It’s a bit complicated.
The script is adapted from a novel, but the original author had some issues before the shoot could start, which stalled the project.”
Ms.
Martinez was driving and glanced at her, “If you like it, we can resume the project.
You’re the only one who could play the female lead from Aubree’s mind.”
They both became silent at the mention of Aubree.
After dropping Sanny off at The Grooves’ Mansion, Ms.
Martinez went home.
As soon as she parked her car, the headlights of another car lit up.
Ms.
Martinez narrowed her eyes and saw a young man walking towards her.
“Ms.
Martinez, Master McKay would like to see you.”
——
Sanny met Anton Cook at the charity gala.
He had lost a significant amount of weight, which made his face appear even more handsome.
He had lost his youthful naivety, making him seem more mature and reserved.
This was the first time she saw Anton Cook since last November’s award ceremony.
More than half a year had passed, he had changed a lot.
His arrogance used to show in his eyes, but now it was hidden deep inside him, making his every move smooth and easy.
It seemed like he had changed, yet he also seemed to have been like this all along.
Sanny reflected on Kevin’s words.
She couldn’t sleep last night, and on a whim, she went online to search for Percival but found very little information.
On a secluded gossip website, she found a post made by an anonymous person who seemed to have just returned from Percival and knew the local situation well.
He mentioned Prince Brooklyn, the Holy Master, and the Saintess in his post.
The post analyzed the balance of royal and divine powers very thoroughly.
Many people responded, but it was still an obscure forum, and few people outside knew about the discussion.
Sanny tried to find familiar figures in these details, but the impersonal text was devoid of warmth.
Halfway through the banquet, Anton Cook received a phone call and left.
Sanny clenched her palm, grabbed her handbag, and followed him out.
“Mr.
Cook.” The May night breeze was slightly cool, tiny hairs on her smooth arms stood up.
Anton Cook turned around, phone in his hand.
Seeing the person who had come up to him, he frowned slightly and whispered into the phone, “I’ll call you back.”
He hung up, put the phone back into his pocket, and stood up straight.
“Ms.
Groove, did you need something?”
