There were over a thousand households at Prestige Penthouses.
“Exact IP address?” asked Brain.
“So far... untraceable.” Reid hung his head, his palms slick with a thin sheen of sweat.
They had hired several top–notch hackers, confident that they could track down FireWing within the two–minute chat window
they had. Yet, they had underestimated FireWing.
Brian thought for a few seconds before saying, “Keep looking.”
They had to find FireWing who could breach WL Center Building’s firewall with ease. Too dangerous to be left unchecked,
FireWing had to be recruited.
The next day, at Global Entertainment Group.
“What’s your name? And what time is your audition with Director Miller?” asked the receptionist at Global Entertainment without
looking up.
To the receptionist of the largest entertainment company in the world, women like Natalie were a dime a dozen. They who sold
themselves were throwing themselves at their doorstep, hoping for a chance at stardom.

Natalie carefully pulled out a letter of recommendation from her bag and placed it in front of the receptionist. It was a handwritten
note from her mentor Martin. Despite not landing any mai roles due to the low acceptance of foreigners, Natalie was still his pride
and joy.
“My name’s Natalie Wright. This is a letter from Director Martin, who is acquainted with Mr. Miller. He’s already given me a
heads–up to come in today.” Natalie explained calmly.
The receptionist glanced up at her, “Director Martin? Never heard of him.” While saying this, she continued with her other tasks.
Natalie remained silent, patiently waiting for the receptionist to finish up.
At that moment, the entrance bustled with activity. Natalie glanced over and spotted the center of attention.

that everyone in the company treated Gracia with the utmost
respect.
As soon as Natalie recognized Gracia, she averted her gaze not to interact with her at that moment. But while Natalie tried to
keep to herself, Gracia had already spotted her. Gracia, already angry at that trending scandal, got more irritated at the sight of
Natalie.
Gracia’s manager noticed the change in her expression and followed Gracia’s gaze to the tall, striking beauty that was Natalie,
mistaking her for some minor celebrity with a past grudge

against Gracia.
With a sneer, the manager said, “All these nobodies trying to squeeze into Global Entertainment Group, a bunch of temptresses,
no doubt all here for Mr. Howard.”
It was common knowledge that Brian, renowned as a national husband, had only invested in one entertainment company, that
was, Global Entertainment. These little vixens only had a chance to meet Brian by working at Global Entertainment.
“Too bad Mr. Howard only has eyes for our Gracia,” the manager said, glancing at the pink diamond necklace Gracia wore. “Mr.
Howard never repeats a gift for Gracia.”
Everyone had already noticed the necklace. With Gracia’s dress having a rather low neckline and being pure white, it made the
pink diamond stand out even more.
Just stepping out, Gracia wore a pink diamond worth at least ten million. The favor of Howard. family and Brian for Gracia was
plain for all to see, leaving others green with envy.
Gracia just stared in Natalie’s direction, smiling subtly, “It’s not as exaggerated as all that.”
Gracia resented Brian’s impersonal gestures of gifting her with presents and money. But without those luxuries, she was no
different from the other girls out there. And there was no difference between her and Natalie.
As she spoke, Gracia slowly made her way over to Natalie, stopping just a few steps away.
