Lina raised her eyebrows, “I won’t oppose you if you want to be a fan, but if you want to associate fan culture with White Maple Group, then don’t blame me for objecting!”
Tina knew that she was being somewhat stubborn and irrational, but she said, “Mom, I just want to give
Kit some resources so that he doesn’t have to lose out on valuable things because of a lack of resources.”
She didn’t want to see a scene like yesterday again.
If yesterday was something Kit willingly chose, then she wouldn’t do this.
But yesterday, Kit was clearly resisting, and even when she rushed in to save him, she clearly saw the despair flash across his face!
“Mom, Kit is just starting out on his own now. I want to give him some resources so that he can stand firm. These resources will enable him to have the ability to stand firm without having to do things he doesn’t want to do just to obtain resources. After giving him these resources, I promise I won’t do something like this again!” Tina said.
Lina looked at her daughter and suddenly felt that the once well-protected child had grown up.
“Then why did you come to me? Shouldn’t you go directly to your dad for this kind of thing?” Lina said.
“But Dad listens to you the most, right? If you help me, then Dad will agree,” Tina shamelessly said.
Lina smiled and patted her daughter’s head. Although her daughter’s height had long surpassed hers, in her heart, her daughter was still like a child.
“Alright, I’ll talk to your dad, but getting him as a spokesperson is unlikely, as it’s a significant relationship. However, we can try to arrange other resources.”
“Just make sure they’re not too lousy!” Tina quickly interjected.
“I know that,” Lina said.
Tina finally felt relieved and then suddenly hugged Lina, bending over and burying her face in her mother’s chest.
“What’s wrong?” Lina asked. Since her daughter had grown up, she rarely saw her act so spoiled.
“I just feel very fortunate that you and Dad are my parents!” Tina said. When she was young, she didn’t think much of it, but as she grew older, she realized the preciousness of this.
Her parents provided her with a comfortable environment, surrounding her with love, never forcing her to do anything she didn’t like.
They always shielded her from the storms of life, blocking out much of the world’s malice and leaving only goodness and kindness for her.
Especially after what happened with Kit, she understood even more how lucky she was.
“Why are you suddenly saying this?” Lina wondered.
“I just really want to thank you, thank you for giving birth to me!” Tina muttered.
Lina’s eyes filled with warmth.
In the past, she had always been afraid that one day her daughter would resent her for giving birth to her, for taking away her freedom of choice, because she had agreed to the Hunter family’s request.
But now, her daughter was thanking her for giving birth to her!
The burden that had been weighing on her heart seemed to be slowly unraveling…
“Having a daughter like you makes me very happy,” Lina embraced her daughter.
To have a child like Tina was truly a wonderful thing for her!

When Kit received the call from his agent, he could hardly believe it. “What did you say?”
“The director of ‘The Edge of Town’ called me, they want you to audition for the lead role, and they said as long as there are no major issues, the role is yours!” the agent excitedly said over the phone.
Originally, he was worried about Kit’s future opportunities, but now a big opportunity had come, like a pie falling from the sky.
Kit was also stunned. He was familiar with the TV series ‘The Edge of Town’, it was a big production, and many male actors were eyeing it, including those with talent, experience, and good looks.
But now…what on earth was going on?!
“Why would they suddenly want me to audition?” Kit asked, puzzled.
“How would I know? Maybe when the time comes, you can ask the director. Perhaps someone recommended you, or maybe the director saw some of your photos and performances and felt you were a good fit for the role,” the agent said. “Anyway, this is a huge opportunity, so make sure to seize it!”
“I understand,” Kit said, ending the call with his agent, his mind filled with questions.
A few days later, Kit arrived at the audition venue.
In the past few days, he had studied the audition script, so the audition was not difficult for him.
But what surprised him was that after his audition, the director immediately announced that he would be cast as the male lead, and even offered him a very good salary.
Furthermore, the director mentioned that if there were no issues, he could sign the contract right away!
He knew very well that it was rare for things to progress so quickly, with the offer of a contract right from the start.
Unless the director had been very clear from the beginning that he wanted him as the male lead.
However, when it comes to acting, he’s still considered a newcomer. Why would they choose someone like him for such a high-budget production?
“What’s wrong? Are you unsatisfied with the pay or do you have other demands?” The director asked when Kit didn’t reply.
“Of course not!” The agent quickly answered on Kit’s behalf.
“Alright, you can take a look at the specific contract. If you agree, we can sign it immediately,” the other party said.
After signing the contract, as Kit and his agent walked out of the signing meeting room, Kit felt a surreal sensation.
“I’ll go to the restroom first. Wait for me,” the agent said.
After the agent left, Kit leaned against the corner of the wall, trying to calm down his bewildered emotions.
Just then, he suddenly heard someone saying, “Have you heard? The male lead has been chosen, and it’s Kit.”
“You mean that idol star? He just finished filming a TV drama, but he was only a supporting role. The drama hasn’t even aired yet! Why would they choose someone like him as the lead? Just because he’s good-looking?”
“No, it’s because of the Stephenson family.”
“The Stephenson family?”
“The White Maple Group suddenly made a big investment, but their requirement was for Kit to be the male lead. Today, Kit was just auditioning as a formality.”
“What’s the connection between the White Maple Group and Kit?”
“Isn’t it because of Miss. Stephenson? They were even in gossip news together before! Maybe Kit has already slept with Miss. Stephenson. This kind of thing is not uncommon in this industry!”
“That’s true. But that guy Kit is really lucky. He actually managed to get the Stephenson family to invest so much money in him…”
As the conversation between the two faded into the distance, Kit’s expression gradually became serious against the other side of the wall.
It turns out that the luck he thought he had was given to him by Tina!
Yes, she’s the Stephenson family’s heiress. With just a word from her, she can provide him with resources! Resources that many people desperately desire but find difficult to obtain, yet for him, they come so easily.
But why does he feel so heavy-hearted?
As if he’s constantly falling into an abyss!
In the next moment, Kit suddenly stepped away. The agent had just returned from the restroom and hurriedly caught up, saying, “Hey, didn’t I ask you to wait for me? Where are you going?”
“To meet the investor!” Kit said sarcastically with a smirk on his face.
Tina didn’t expect Kit to show up in front of her voluntarily.
“How…how did you come here?” Tina looked around anxiously, afraid that someone nearby might see
Kit.
Although Kit is wearing glasses, a baseball cap, and a mask, and is dressed in dark clothes, he is still quite noticeable in his university where there are many people and distractions. There’s always a chance that one of his fans might recognize him.
“I have something to say…”
Before he could finish his sentence, she reached out and grabbed his wrist, leading him in another direction.
Kit followed Tina’s footsteps, feeling the warmth of her hand on his wrist.
It reminded him of that day after the drinking party, when Mr. Perkins slapped him and pushed him down onto the couch. She barged in and kicked Mr. Perkins to the ground, giving him a good beating.
At that time, her hand had also held onto his wrist, helping him up and asking if he was okay.
He remembered how warm her hand felt…
Is it true that once someone who has experienced the cold of winter encounters warmth, they become greedy for more?
When they reached a secluded corner, Tina finally let go of his hand.
In that instant, Kit felt a sense of loss.
“Okay, there aren’t many people passing by here. It’s relatively safe,” Tina said, looking at Kit’s face.
However, because he was wearing a mask, she couldn’t see his expression, “By the way, is your injury on your face healed? I saw in the news that you’ve been appearing in the media lately. Are you covering up the scars with makeup? Don’t let the reporters find out, or who knows what kind of messy news they’ll create.”
She rambled on, with a tone of obvious concern.
Many people care about him, but most of it is just fake concern. Even though his manager and teammates show concern for him, it’s mostly because of the many conflicts of interest involved.
But Tina is different.
He can sense that she genuinely cares for him.
“Why do you care about me?” he asked.
Tina responded matter-of-factly, “Isn’t it normal for fans to care about their idols?”
“Normal?” he frowned.
“Yes, fans care a lot about their idols. They pay attention to their activities and naturally also pay attention to their physical well-being. Remember when you got injured during training before? Many fans came to the hospital to send their blessings and various gifts, hoping for your speedy recovery!”
Kit looked at Tina, “Do you know all this?”
Tina felt a little embarrassed, “I also sent a gift at that time. I went to a temple and got a protective amulet. But I don’t know if you received it or not.”
Kit paused, he did remember the protective amulet.
