Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83

In an instant, everything from last night came rushing back.

At Larkspur, she’d been drugged and cornered by Egbert—and at the critical moment, Weston had stepped in and saved her.

Then he brought her here.

And she… she had clung to him, held him, kissed him…

And in the end, she’d even broken down crying, accusing him of being a murderer.

The heat from the drug, the aftermath… and through it all, he

had stayed by her side, patiently taking care of her.

Oh my god… I’m so dead.

How could I do that to Weston?

How am I even supposed to face him now?

Heat rushed to her cheeks as shame flooded through her.

She yanked the blanket over her head and started rolling around under it, groaning.

was going to lose her mind.

And with someone like Weston-ruthless, unforgiving-she was completely done for.

“Oh my god! What do I do?”

She panicked, completely at a loss.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Her phone suddenly rang, the sharp sound cutting through her spiral.

She grabbed it and glanced at the screen.

Unknown number.

Could it be Egbert’s people?

But hadn’t Weston already sent them to the police last night?

Stella hesitated for a second, then swiped to answer.

“H-Hello… who is this?”

Ryan’s steady, low voice came through the phone.

Ms. Parker, this is Ryan Garner, Mr. Heade’s assistant. I’m 4:23

calling regarding your contract.”

“My contract?” Stella frowned.

“But it hasn’t expired yet… and I don’t have the money to buy it

out.”

Stella really was too naive.

She had no idea Weston had already fallen for her.

By the time she realized it… she’d probably already be wrapped around his finger.

Still, Weston falling for someone was good news for Ryan.

At least now, he wouldn’t have to keep explaining the same thing to Weston’s parents over and over again.

He had practically sworn on his life that Weston wasn’t gay before they finally, reluctantly believed him.

Otherwise, if the only son of the Heade family turned out to be gay, their bloodline would end right there.

They kept telling Ryan to keep an eye on Weston and make sure he didn’t get involved with some guy.

dealing with them.

But now?

Weston had finally fallen for a woman. No one was happier than Ryan.

A hint of amusement flickered across his face, the corner of his lips lifting slightly.

“Ms. Parker, you don’t need to worry about that.”

“Your agency’s already been acquired by Dynasty Pictures. From now on, your contract will be transferred to our subsidiary— Nova Talent Agency.”

“We’ll assign you a top-tier agent, and you’ll have your own studio. We’ll put together a development plan just for you and tailor projects that suit you best.”

He paused for a moment, then smiled.

“Congratulations, Ms. Parker. You’ll have your own team.”

“From here on out, things will move a lot faster for you. Your resources will be focused entirely on you-you’re stepping into the next tier.”

Afgint smile tugged at his lips.

“You’re our next star.”

What?!

The words hit Stella like a bolt out of the blue.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

She was just a nobody actress.

No exposure. No fanbase.

She didn’t even have a single solid lead role to her name.

So why would Nova Talent Agency-the biggest agency in the country-build a studio just for her and invest so heavily in her?

If anything, she was more worried she’d drag them down and waste their resources.

Was this some kind of mistake?

Stella could barely process it, her lips trembling slightly.

“Mr. Garner… are you sure you’ve got the right person?”

“A studio-for me? I have no exposure, no notable work, no fans. I’m basically a nobody.”

“You’re really sure about this?”

“Yeah.” Ryan’s smile deepened, his tone calm but firm. “I’m sure. There’s no mistake.”

Early that morning, Weston had called him over.

He’d been sitting in the back of the car, eyes bloodshot, his face drawn with exhaustion, personally giving the order.

There was no way Ryan could’ve gotten it wrong.

Besides, Stella’s agency had always been a mess-barely holding together, all show and no substance.

They pushed their artists into drinking gigs but never invested in their actual work.

Back when Ryan had first been asked to look into Stella, he’d thought the same thing-

With her talent, ending up in a place like that was a complete

waste.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Stella’s eyes. She paused, then asked carefully,

“Mr. Garner… if you sign someone like me, and it ends up losing

money… you’re not going to make me pay for it, right?”

Ryan’s lips twitched, barely holding back a laugh.
