Chapter 440: Chapter 439: Bow My Head Only for You

"How did it end up like this? It shouldn’t be like this."

Martin Wright sat in the office, dark circles visibly under his eyes, and his beard had started growing wildly, probably due to lack of time to groom. He looked defeated.

His eyes were bloodshot from staring at the data and documents on the computer countless times, still unable to figure out where things went wrong. Everything had been proceeding according to his plan, so how did it go wrong at the final stage?

His expression was very poor, and when he tried calling his old buddies for help, either they didn’t pick up, or they made excuses that they couldn’t assist him, leaving him powerless.

Martin Wright never thought he would end up so isolated and helpless one day.

The last call he made finally connected. It was with the person who had helped him investigate the suspicious marriage between Jensen Sterling and Mia Sutton.

"Hey, speak quickly, my old man doesn’t want me associating with you much now," the person quickly said.

Given the recent events at Martin Wright’s company, people in the industry had heard some rumors, and no one wanted to get caught in the turmoil.

Martin Wright hadn’t expected the person to say this right after picking up the phone, but after so many others had cleared their associations with him, he no longer cared; it was fortunate enough to get the call answered.

"Your recent project..."

Before Martin Wright could finish, the person interrupted.

"Honestly, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s that I can’t. You know, our family business has always been run by my dad; once they decide something, I can’t change it."

"I know they withdrew from the project, but... I really can’t help you." He sighed, "If you really need it, I can lend you some money temporarily, would that work?"

Martin Wright’s voice was slightly hoarse: "No need, thanks for the trouble."

After exchanging a few words, he hung up the phone, his grip whitened as he held the device, staring at the computer for a long time before slowly shifting his gaze to another direction, his eyes darkening.

...

Meanwhile, the third episode of "Only You in this Lifetime" continued its live streaming. After the recent incident involving Leo Lynn, the show’s popularity hadn’t waned; instead, it had spiked, especially with a rise in their fan base.

This time, they were filming at a tourist spot. After the director was deceived last time, he became smarter, opting to simply bring them out without assigning tasks or giving any money, letting them fend for themselves and romantically interact.

He wanted to see what these guests could come up with.

After dropping the guests at different locations, he went back cheerfully, watching them "wander" on the monitors—not really, he was just misspeaking—they were actually making money.

Making them earn and spend on their own—this program was truly cunning.

Meanwhile, they initiated an online vote to decide the guests’ game for the next day.

Abandoned ruthlessly across various locations, the guests stared at their empty wallets: "." Speechlessly gazing at the heavens.

Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling were mercilessly left on a commercial street, with nothing left behind except the cameraman.

Not long after arriving, before even reacting, they were spotted by fans and quickly surrounded in layers.

"Oh my God, it’s Jensen Sterling and Mia Sutton, I can’t believe I’m seeing them alive!!!"

"Jensen the Actor, Jensen the Actor, please sign my autograph."

"Mia my hubby, let’s hang out." shouted a girl.

Upon hearing, Mia’s eyes curved into a smile, giving her a heart sign: "Let’s hang out."

This sent the girl into a frenzy of excitement.

A male fan boldly shouted, "Mia, my wife, when are you divorcing Jensen the Actor? If you do, would you consider me?"

Jensen Sterling, who was signing autographs, halted upon hearing this, glancing over with a subtle look, lips pressed, his gaze profound: "Sorry, probably won’t happen."

A burst of laughter erupted around, with everyone admiring his audacity in front of the main party.

"Also..." Jensen paused slightly after speaking, his gaze light, but his tone cooled: "Cut down on using terms like wife and hubby."

This comment made the live stream audience go wild with laughter.

[Oh no, oh no, this man is jealous; he’s drowning in vinegar.]

[Jensen Sterling: the term wife is exclusively yours, keep it.]

[Never thought I’d see Jensen Sterling’s jealous side; it’s quite fulfilling.]

His serious demeanor amused Mia Sutton beside him, and she reached over to poke his waist: "Don’t be so serious, fans are just joking, be magnanimous."

[Ah right, right, be magnanimous, where’s your gentlemanly demeanor?]

[Jensen the Actor, jealousy isn’t a good habit; be careful not to get punished with kneeling on a washboard.]

After the fans briefly bothered them, they left in an orderly manner after signing autographs and taking photos, chatting with their idols without delaying the filming much.

Once the fans departed, Mia Sutton quickly dragged Jensen Sterling away.

In a secluded spot, she took out her gear: wig, hat, and mask.

"Here, Mr. Sterling, put these on. Though it can’t fully disguise, it’s better than nothing."

With their rising popularity, there was always a chance they’d be surrounded again.

Mia explained while quickly putting on her disguise, urging Jensen who had only put on a mask: "Mr. Sterling, hurry up."

Seeing this, Jensen Sterling looked at the items she held, then slowly bent down, lowering his head.

Mia Sutton was a bit stunned as she saw his head bow down before her.

His hair was of excellent quality, dark and shiny, with a few strands tousled by the wind.

Balancing on her toes, Mia reached out to flatten his wind-blown hair and fitted the hat over him.

Swept away by a sentiment, she even lightly patted the hat on his head.

[Oh my gosh, they are too sweet, I strongly suspect this man carefully studied some flirting guide, otherwise how is he so skilled?]

[What bowing head and bending waist just for her, ladies, keep fawning over this endlessly!]

[You bow your head, I tiptoe, accommodating each other—is this divine love?]

[I just screenshotted that moment; I declare it my phone wallpaper for the coming year.]

[Does no one see how Jensen Sterling slightly bowing his head resembles a fierce beast retracting its claws—exceedingly fierce outside but returning to your side, he can retract all his claws?]

[So perfect to fawn over, oh my god, here’s a pen, give me a fic on this brilliant idea.]
