Awakening: Sculpting My Destiny

Upon awakening, I realized that my boyfriend, the movie star, who was begging me not to break up with him would eventually make me die miserably on the street for the sake of an innocent female lead.

So, after he was shelved, I resolutely accepted the pursuit of the CEO.

Within a year, the CEO elevated me from an unknown nobody to a popular actress.

At the award ceremony, Carl Ellis, who somehow managed to rise again, unexpectedly became the presenter.

A reporter asked him, "Do you have any words of encouragement for Kacie Bradley?"

Carl sneered,

"I hoped her to work harder in Mr. Chapman's bed,

or crawl back into mine."

When he said this, the whole audience was in uproar.

The reporters immediately rushed towards Liam Chapman, who was seated in the center of the judging panel.

"Mr. Chapman, there were rumors on Twitter that you were keeping a female celebrity as a mistress. Is this celebrity Kacie?"

"Mr. Chapman, are all the countless resources that Kacie has received this year due to your support behind the scenes?"

The awards ceremony was being broadcast live,

and many people were loudly condemning online,

"Kacie is with two men at the same time,

how shameless."

"Kacie is just a bitch.

I wonder when Mr. Chapman will get tired of her."

The online abuse seemed to echo Carl's inner thoughts.

He looked at me with disdain, as if thought to himself. See? you didn't choose me in the beginning, are you regretting it now?

But soon, his expression turned puzzled.

Perhaps he noticed that I wasn't panicking at all and was even admiring the trophy in my hand.

This trophy was the support Liam provided me.

It was also something that built my confidence.

At this moment, Liam cleared his throat and said with a smile.

"Mr. Ellis, you seem to have a misunderstanding about yourself.

Kacie only climbs into beds she's familiar with,

and besides,

you're not that great."

Hearing this, the audience burst into laughter.

Carl, trying to save face, continued to belittle me, "Mr. Chapman, you probably don't know what kind of person Kacie is, right?

If you run out of money one day,

she'll immediately dump you and climb into someone else's bed."

He thought this would make me crumble.

But I just took it as a flirtatious way with Liam, and I smiled as I approached the microphone and said to him,

"Did you hear that, Liam?

So, make sure you never go bankrupt."

Liam responded with a doting smile in his eyes.

Now Carl was awkward.

But he still tried to save the situation, "Forget it, I'm not really interested someone like Kacie. She's just a vain and scheming bitch.

Only you would treat her like a treasure."

"What's wrong with women being vain and ambitious?"

Liam suddenly stood up and walked towards the stage, his face dark.

"The reason men perceive women as greedy is because the men themselves are useless and can't offer her anything.

You should be grateful that she's greedy."

As he spoke, Liam had already reached my side.

He wrapped one arm around my waist, his tone proud as an artist displaying his masterpiece.

"I give her whatever she was greedy about because that's what love is about."

That night, Liam's words completely turned the situation around.

The next day, the trending topics were all about us.

Netizens commented us as the love of two vipers.

Many people are curious about how two people like us, who are solely motivated by profit, ended up together.

Actually, this was just the world of a romantic novel.

I was the villainous supporting character, and Carl was the male lead.

I was destined to abandon him at his harships, and when he made a comeback, I would be humiliated by him.

He would first have a complicated relationship with me. Then he would meet my innocent assistant and be instantly drawn to her, finding her to be more kind and innocent. Amidst misunderstandings after misunderstandings, he would abandon me.

And Liam, being the devoted second male lead, would also inexplicably fall for her.

Maybe because he saw her sheltering a snail from the rain, or because of a cup of coffee accidentally spilled on his shirt.

Anyway, it was all bizarre, to the point where Liam himself would roll his eyes if he heard about it.

Later, Liam would resort to any means to win her over.

Carl, to protect the female lead, would bankrupt Chapman Group.

The ending would be me, disgraced, and Liam, left with nothing, while they both gained wealth and love.

Fortunately, Liam and I awakened first.

To resist this fate, we tied our destinies together.

After awakening, I tried various ways to dismiss the female lead, but couldn't overcome the plot.

But Cathleen Clayton would eventually become my assistant.

Some mysterious force would make Liam lose his mind whenever he encountered Cathleen.

So, I decided to take a different approach.
