Chapter 74

The next day, at two in the afternoon. Selena received a phone call.

“Hello, Miss Dalton? I’m Alice. I saw you at the banquet last time, and I thought we really hit it off. I’ve been wanting to find a chance to chat with you. Do you have time today?”

Selena was a bit surprised to receive Alice’s call.

The Gibbs family was much wealthier than her family, and forging a relationship with them would only benefit the Dalton family.

Moreover, it was clear that things with Owen were not going to work out. Marrying Ivan would be a good alternative for her.

Selena quickly agreed

The two of them set a time and place to meet

They would be meeting at a café at 4 o’clock.

Alice had made sure to reserve a private room and had ordered plenty of food.

In addition to Alice, Jeanie was also present.

While the Dalton family had a major presence in the entertainment world, Selena was still young and only a rising star minor actress at best. Jeanie, however, had a strong presence in the industry.

Thanks to the powerful influence of the Gibbs family, Jeanie held a prominent position in the entertainment world. She was a significant figure in the industry, and many scripts came to her first before reaching anyone else.

Selena could not compare to Jeanie and Alice at all.

Selena was good at reading the room, so she kept her tone humble and respectful around them, especially with Jeante, where she acted like a devoted fan, flattering Jeanie and making her smile.

“I’ve always wanted a chance to work with you, Jeanie, but I never got the chance. I’m still new and not well–known enough to have the privilege to work with someone as famous as you. I’m so lucky to have met my idol today!‘ Selena said sweetly.

Jeanie laughed, covering her mouth in amusement. “Oh, come on, you’re the apple of the Dalton family’s eye! The Dalton family is one of the four major families, so we can be considered family too. Next time, I’ll ask my manager to set up a project for us.”

Selena’s face lit up with joy. “Could that really happen?”

“Of course, Alice said with a smile, standing up to pour wine. “We’re all from the four prestigious families. Only by staying united can we continue to thrive.”

Selena understood the underlying meaning of her words. Alice was not trying to form a friendship; she had a different
