“Mr. Clark
Stephen was stunned when he heard the name. He followed Daniel’s gaze and spotted a man standing by the stairs
The man was tall and broad–shouldered, with sharp, chiseled features. He radiated such a powerful presence that it felt like he owned the place, making everyone instinctively wary of him.
But what really made Stephen shiver was the bone–chilling, innate anger etched into the man’s face.
That anger burned like a wildfire, threatening to swallow Stephen whole.
Stephen’s heart clenched as he recognized the man. It was Nathan Clark, the heir of the Clark family.
Why is Nathan here all of a sudden?‘ Stephen wondered, his mind racing.
And from the way Nathan was looking at him, it was obvious he was here for Stephen.
Stephen’s mind flashed through every possible reason, but none of them explained what was happening right now.
The door was yanked open by two thugs, and Stephen instinctively backed away into the house, his guard up.
Nathan’s bodyguards swarmed in, lining up on either side of the room.
Only then did Nathan step inside, his gaze cold and menacing, fixed right on Stephen.
Stephen felt a chill crawl up his spine under that stare, but he refused to flinch or avert his eyes.
Just then. Daniel bowed respectfully to Nathan and said, “I know you’re here for Stephen because he got picked by Brightstar Entertainment to star in Chasing the Dream. But you don’t need to dirty your own hands dealing with him. Why not let me handle it for you? I’ll give him a beating and ruin his face, all for you.”
If I pull this off, maybe Mr. Clark will actually take notice of me and give me his favor,‘ Daniel thought, his heart pounding with anticipation.
Nathan stared at Stephen, his face expressionless, a cold smirk curling at his lips. “Of course I brought you here to get revenge on Stephen. What, did you think I needed you just to show me around?”
Daniel’s heart soared with excitement. He quickly fawned, “Rest assured, Mr Clark! I’ll make sure you’re more than satisfied”
Stephen’s heart skipped a beat. He snapped, “You’re breaking into my house! That’s illegal! I’m warning you, get out of here right now, or I’m calling the cops!”
But Nathan remained completely unfazed by Stephen’s warning. He just stared back, his eyes turning even colder
This broke nobody actually thinks he can scare me with the cops?‘ Nathan mocked to himself.
Daniel burst out laughing, like Stephen had just cracked the biggest joke. “Call the cops? Please. You think you’ll even get the chance? And don’t forget about that mute old man lying in bed–do you really want him to live? I’ll take him out before the cops even show up!”
At the mention of the mute old man, Stephen clenched his fists and fell silent.
Daniel sneered, “Stephen, I heard Brightstar Entertainment picked you for Chasing the Dream. But what if your face gets

runed right now Do you really think they Il still want you?”
Stephen snapped. You dare”
Daniel shot back. Why wouldn UP You re just a nobody scavenging for scraps. If it weren’t for your pretty face you’d never have a shot in the entertainment industry The only reason I made you the lead was your looks, but instead of being grateful, you went and beat me up!”
Stephen gave him a look of pure contempt. “You tried to force yourself on the fernale lead! Bastards like you deserve to get
beaten up
Seeing Stephen all fired up. Daniel spat on the ground. “Hell, you really think you’re the hero from the show, acting all herowe, huh?
Take him down!” Daniel ordered.
Stephen had learned some self–defense moves from his uncle, so usually, he could handle himself in a fight.
But with all these trained bodyguards in front of him, outnumbered and outmatched, Stephen was no match. He was quickly restrained and held down.
Daniel strode right up to him. “Alright, Stephen, get on your knees and beg for mercy. Maybe I’ll let you off easy–how about
Stephen spat hard in Daniel’s face, full of disgust. “Scum like you? I’d rather die than beg!”
Daniel’s expression twisted as he wiped the spit off. “You fucking want to die that badly, huh?”
He raised his fist, ready to smash it into Stephen.
But just then, there was a heavy groan and a dull thud from outside the door.
The next second, a woman’s voice called out from the hallway.
Who’s got a death wish?” Victoria pushed Jackson’s wheelchair right into the room.
Daniel spun around and saw the two bodyguards who’d been guarding the door sprawled out on the floor, foaming at the nouth and twitching uncontrollably.
He recognized Jackson Thornton and Victoria Binder at the doorway, and fear flooded his eyes.
Victoria wasn’t the problem–the real threat was Jackson Thornton, the man backing her.
Even Nathan couldn’t stand up to Jackson Thornton, so what hope did a small–time director like Daniel have?
After a moment’s hesitation, Daniel reluctantly lowered his fist, swallowed hard, and moved to stand beside Nathan.
Nathan shot him a look and said with disdain, “Useless.”
Daniel’s face stiffened at that.
I wish I could prove myself!
But there’s no way I can go up against Jackson!‘ He grumbled to himself.
When Stephen saw Victoria walk in, he felt a surge of relief, but that feeling quickly shifted to worry.

He was afraid he might get Victorta caught up in all this
As soon as Jackson rolled in his eyes flicked over to Stephen, who was pinned down A glint flashed in Jackson’s eyes, but his face staved cool and unreadable
“Stephen is the guy I personally picked to play the big bad in Chasing the Dream. Anyone who messes with him is basically declaring war on me. Victoria said, then acted like she’d just noticed Nathan. She raised her brows in mork surprise Hey Nathan, didn’t expect to see you here.”
Her gaze settled on Nathan, a sly smirk tugging at her lips as she continued, “So, Nathan, what are you planning to dono Stephen And you brought a whole squad with you–are you throwing him a party for landing the role in my show? Isn’t that a little over the top
Daniel whod been swaggering just moments ago, was suddenly silent–not daring to utter a single word.
With he heavyweights duking it out, he wouldn’t even dream of trying to stand out.
Nathan’s eyes darkened, but he stayed silent.
Victoria being here was understandable–she’d handpicked Stephen for Chasing the Dream. But what was Jackson doing here, showing up with a whole squad of bodyguards? ‘What’s his angle?‘ Stephen wondered, feeling a fresh wave of unease
Victoria rolled Jackson’s wheelchair right up to Stephen, then glanced at the bodyguards and said, “Why are you restraining
im? Let him go.”
The two bodyguards looked over at Nathan, waiting for his cue.
Nathan paused for a moment, then gave a casual wave of his hand.
The bodyguards released Stephen and retreated to Nathan’s side.
tephen, finally free, shot Victoria a grateful look and whispered, “Ms. Binder, that old guy who tried to hit me is Daniel. He’s he director I beat up before–he’s here for revenge. As for why Nathan’s here, I really have no clue.”
rom the way Nathan was acting, it was obvious he had no idea that Stephen might actually be Jackson’s little brother.
io Victoria figured Nathan was probably here because of the disappearance of Mrs. Tooth.
le probably thought Victoria had something to do with it, felt his authority was being challenged again, and when he found ur Stephen got dropped by Gale Entertainment only to be picked up by her for Chasing the Dream, he decided to make an xample out of Stephen.
Not only would it put her in her place, but it would also send a message to anyone thinking about joining the show–choose visely, or end up like Stephen.
