Chapter 725

Sullivan had never thrown back a beer at a party or celebrated someone's birthday - not until he was thirty-eight, that is. It was uncharted territory for him.

To the likes of Maximus and Dashiell, Sullivan was an elder in the scene. Even though Maximus wasn't much younger, Sullivan had been in the limelight far earlier, achieving fame while they were still greenhorns. By the time they were making a name for themselves, Sullivan had already snagged an Oscar or two and was a household name even internationally, a pinnacle they could only dream of.

The idea that someone of Sullivan's stature would join their little shindig was thrilling beyond words.

It was Stephanie, that spitfire, who could pull strings like no one else. She, along with Sullivan and Emily, suited up in disguises, bundling up in layers until they were sure they wouldn't be recognized, before heading out to the prearranged spot.

When they arrived, they found not just Maximus and Dashiell, but also a crew of seasoned actors who had worked with the legendary Mr. Finnegan. The leading ladies-Finnegan's Screen Sirens-who had thrived in his films were there too, having carved out impressive careers for themselves in the industry.

The trio, dressed up as if they were a family unit, fully geared up, stepped into the private room, and the crowd was gobsmacked.

Who could this be?

Since Maximus was the host, all eyes turned to him. He failed to recognize Stephanie, but he did spot Emily, still a head shorter than most.

Grinning ear to ear, Maximus approached and greeted, "Look who's here, Emily!"

Then his eyes shifted to the towering figure beside her, uncertain whether it was Sullivan or Silver Fox.
