Alright then, it’s best for everyone if the truth is spoken sooner.
She wouldn’t have to worry about this matter anymore.
[Sloane]: Later, I have to go shoot a film.
Silas Sinclair imdiately sent her a ssage back.
[Silas]: Then we’ll wait until you finish filming this project.
Sloane Hawthorne glanced at the ssage from Silas Sinclair but did not reply.
She leaned back against the chair, breathing sowhat wearily.
This way is good too.
They’re not from the sa world; at least this way, there won’t be pain in the future.
Sloane Hawthorne wasn’t entirely without feelings for Silas Sinclair.
Especially during her middle school years, she often saw Silas Sinclair attending various major events and being featured on TV.
Back then, she was filled with curiosity about the young, charismatic Silas Sinclair.
Moreover, after hearing stories about the Empire’s youngest general from children at the welfare institute, she beca even more fascinated by such a prominent figure.
When Sloane first saw Silas Sinclair, her feelings were quite mixed.
It was an idol-like excitent, combined with the complexity and disbelief of sitting across from him and being able to talk, which made her feelings at the ti very complicated.
Later, when faced with Silas Sinclair’s intentional or unintentional gestures of goodwill, Sloane suddenly beca clear-headed.
They were not from the sa world and should never have intersected.
So, let this intersection that should never have happened be completely severed.

Sitting outside, Selena Kensington was unaware of Sloane Hawthorne’s thoughts at that mont.
"Sister, check the Trending Topics on Weibo,"
Lea Dutton, standing beside her, said.
Her expression seed sowhat grave.
Seeing the look on Lea’s face, Selena knew it must be sothing important.
So, Selena imdiately took out her phone.
She opened Weibo and found the real-ti Trending Topics.
#Radiance Entertainnt announces collaboration with a major traditional IP!!!#
#The Imperial Museum and Radiance Entertainnt announce collaboration!#
#Radiance launches grand cultural heritage journey!#
These trends flashed across the screen.
Next, Selena saw the praise from netizens below.
[OMG OMG! Radiance has secured a collaboration with The Imperial Museum, this is amazing!]
[The Empire’s cultural heritage is so deep! Excited for the cultural heritage journey!]
[Finally, the Empire’s traditional culture is being explored; even if it’s a docuntary, I’m all in!]
[Radiance Entertainnt has taken a huge leap! How will Stardust respond...]
[Suddenly looking forward to Stardust’s response...]
[Why do people keep comparing Radiance and Stardust? Both have their strengths...]
[Sigh, there’s not enough room for two tigers on one mountain, do you get it.]
"Radiance really laid a big trap this ti."
Lea looked at Radiance’s plans, acknowledging Sidney Dalton’s ambition and decisive style.
Combined with the Dalton Family’s background and the Empire’s support, it was no surprise Radiance secured such a traditional major IP.
"Yes, his ambition has always been like this."
Selena seed to recall sothing, her lips curling into a sarcastic smile.
Amidst those comnts, so praised Radiance Entertainnt, while others ntioned Stardust Entertainnt.
After all, the two giant companies in the entertainnt circle seem peaceful on the surface but have rivaled secretly countless tis.
Such a seemingly peaceful scenario is recognized by industry veterans as unsustainable.
The entertainnt industry is like a large cake, where Radiance and Stardust each occupy a third, and the remaining third is divided among other companies.
Still, who wouldn’t want a bigger slice?
Hence, unless Radiance and Stardust can forever maintain that check and balance, their conflict is bound to arise sooner or later.
Seeing Radiance’s announcent about collaborating with The Imperial Museum, Selena was also surprised.
She didn’t expect Sidney Dalton, who couldn’t secure ’Chronicles of the Wilds’ collaboration, yet achieved this cooperation with The Imperial Museum.
The Empire’s cultural heritage is indeed a vital component, along with the Empire’s citizens’ sentints and the artifacts’ value, naturally drawing more attention.
Especially with the Empire now emphasizing this, Radiance Entertainnt’s docuntary will be heavily promoted.
Perhaps it might even reach an international audience.
Clearly, Sidney Dalton was well-prepared this ti.
As Selena thought about this, she received a ssage from Hugh Kensington.
[Little Autumn Jacket]: Sis, did you check the trending topics?
[Selie Stays Slim]: Yes, I did.
[Selie Stays Slim]: What’s your plan to counter this?
[Little Autumn Jacket]: Don’t worry, I have a plan. Plus, with the software Jonah ntioned yesterday, Sidney Dalton wants to leverage Empire’s support and the major IP to enhance reputation and perhaps gain international fa. We’ll surpass him.
Last night, Hugh Kensington had a conversation with Jonah Hawthorne.
The two discussed ’Starstruck’ software for over an hour.
Through their conversation, Hugh realized Jonah also had ambition.
He wished to promote this software internationally, aligning perfectly with Hugh’s intentions.
Both needed a catalyst and a promotional platform; thus, they imdiately chose to collaborate.
Upon hearing Hugh’s explanation, Selena felt reassured.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Alright, then I’ll be at ease.
Then Selena put her phone away.
After the lunch break, they resud the afternoon scenes.
In the following days, Cole Vaughn’s scenes continued frequently.

Several days later, Quincy Goodman’s character reached its conclusion.
Quincy Goodman’s true identity was exposed to Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd.
During their investigation to collect evidence, they discovered Quincey had personally killed his ntor, the old State Preceptor, to inherit the position sooner.
They were utterly shocked upon learning this because they never expected Quincy to be so ruthless.
The old State Preceptor had been his benefactor.
Years ago, Quincy was expelled by Karth and wandered around The Valerion Kingdom.
He endured various squalid and coldly disdainful lifestyles in border cities.
It was by chance the old State Preceptor sensed his talent and brought him back to the capital of The Valerion Kingdom.
Who would have imagined he’d betray the old State Preceptor to ascend power?
Afterwards, Paloma and Rhys presented ample evidence of Quincy’s misdeeds to The Valerion Kingdom’s King.
The King was greatly shocked upon learning this but understood the State Preceptor’s role among civilians.
He’s already a spiritual symbol in people’s minds.
During the old State Preceptor’s ti, divine and royal power maintained a subtle balance.
