“Stop shouting. Go home. I still have to deliver food,” Peter said as he mounted the nearby electric scooter.
Still in his delivery uniform, Peter felt the weight of the wasted day pressing on him. He had no idea where tomorrow’s meal money would come from. The recent turn of events had made him forget his days as an executive.
Samuel rolled his eyes. “Peter, are you really content to spend your whole life delivering food? You were Mr. Peter Williams. You
managed a large company.”
“Are you suggesting I should be idle like you for the rest of my life?” Peter retorted coldly.
Neither Kenny nor Samuel seemed to recognize the reality of their
situation.
Samuel was furious. “I’m not idle. I’m a celebrity. I’m just waiting for a chance to make a comeback.
“With just your name, Samuel? There’s no chance of a comeback in the entertainment industry. You’d better off focusing on how to earn tomorrow’s meal money and cover the utilities,” Peter warned him coldly before leaving.
Watching Peter ride away, Samuel fumed. He believed he would make a comeback one day. He had been so close to becoming an A–list actor, having played many leading roles. There was no way he would fade away now.
If Charles could land a lead role, then he surely could too.
“I will succeed. I will definitely make a comeback. When that time

comes, everyone who looks down on me will have to see me in a new light. I’ll make Skylar help me. I want her to get Joe to make me a celebrity again.”

Just as Skylar finished parking her car and was about to enter the house, Joe came home. They entered the house together.
After changing into her slippers, Skylar answered a call from an unknown number.
“Hello.”
“Skylar, it’s me, Amelia. I’ve missed you. I’ve been thinking a lot lately and realize I made mistakes. Can you forgive me?”
The unknown number belonged to Amelia. Skylar barely
recognized her voice, but her insincere tone dredged up forgotten
memories.
Joe glanced at Skylar.
“Wrong number,” Skylar said coldly before hanging up.
“Spam call?” Joe asked.
Skylar replied honestly, “It was Christopher’s mother.”
Joe raised an eyebrow. “Christopher still can’t let go?”
“Whether he has or not doesn’t concern me. What do you want for dinner tonight? I’ll cook,” Skylar offered.
Seeing Skylar’s indifference toward Christopher, Joe smiled. “Let’s cook dinner together.
“Alright.”

Christopher’s expression was dark. That call, which had been abruptly terminated, left him feeling frustrated.
His plane had just landed, and he had barely rested. All he wanted was to hear Skylar’s voice, except she was as indifferent as ever.
“You’re making so much money now. If we leave Jipsburg, that money could buy us a big house, and you could open a store. At that point, you could have any women you want.
“Why must you insist on being with Skylar? If she were waiting for you, it’d be different. But she’s practically been used up. Look at how she treated me–she hung up!”
Amelia was furious. Her superiority stemmed from believing her son was too good for anyone.
