Chapter 273
“Spit it out, then!” Zayn barked.
Liam gulped.
“According to the latest news, Ms. Sanford will be trying out for Arena of Glory’s ambassador role. She’ll be going up against Ms. Daws
for the role.”
Arena of Glory gained popularity in recent years in the gaming world. It was currently the most–played video game in Marley.
The game did not have an ambassador all this while because there wasn’t a need for one. The game’s popularity was entirely self–made.
The game producers were now on a nationwide search for the perfect female celebrity to endorse their
game.
The endorsement fees had to be astronomical, given how the game’s backer, Nightingale Corporation, was a behemoth in the business industry.
Even if being the ambassador of Arena of Glory did not pay a single cent, the game was still popular enough that female celebrities would kill to secure the endorsement deal.
A deal like that meant reaching out to at least half the population in Marley.
Every time a gamer logged into the game, they would first be greeted by pictures of the ambassador.
In other words, even the most invisible of female celebrities could launch themselves into stardom by becoming the ambassador of Arena of Glory.
While Skyler was doing well in the entertainment industry, certain constraints kept her from achieving household–name status.
Her goal was to become an A–lister like Celeste and Caroline. Naturally, she would not pass up the chance to be the ambassador of Arena of Glory.
Liam had only just told Zayn about the latest update on Willow when Zayn’s phone buzzed on the desk.
Zayn saw Skyler’s name flash on the screen. He frowned but accepted the call anyway.
Skyler’s coquettish, earnest tone immediately filled his ear.
“Zayn, I’ll be auditioning for Arena of Glory’s ambassadorship this afternoon. I was wondering if you could accompany me?”
Skyler had already done her research on the audition. She had procured the list of female celebrities who would audition that afternoon and felt she was the most outstanding one.
She had a good chance of scoring the deal, but she would be in a league of her own if she showed up. with Zayn to the audition,

Nightingale Corporation would be persuaded to name her as the game’s ambassador if they wanted to maintain good relations with Zayn, the man behind Carter Group.
However, Skyler had been anxious when she called Zayn. After all, he hadn’t spared a glance at her since. the fire at Bordello. Convincing him to go to the audition with her might be the biggest challenge of her
life.
Unexpectedly, she heard Zayn say, after a brief pause, “Sure.”
Skyler felt like she had just been blessed by the high heavens.
“I love you, Zayn! You’re the best. Thanks for wanting to go to the audition with me!”
She kissed her phone screen several times before reluctantly hanging up.
Zayn’s expressionless face belied the tempest brewing in his heart.
The audition was where he would see Willow and make her pay for putting him through a whole month’s worth of emotional torment.
Willow was alive, and so was Aaron, Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
After falling off the cliff, Aaron was rescued by Moses Quayle, medical extraordinaire and Wynn’s mentor.
Moses had been the one to remove and discard Aaron’s bloodstained clothes after stumbling upon him under the cliff so that he could treat Aaron’s wounds.
Being the medical extraordinaire Moses was, he had saved Aaron from certain death. He even performed surgery on Aaron and cured the latter’s thalassemia major.
However, with Aaron’s fragile state, too many surgeries might not work out in his favor.
Moses thought Aaron should regain some strength before undergoing follow–up surgeries. He couldn’t guarantee that the future surgeries would be successful, either.
Moses felt as though destiny had tied him and Aaron together, so he decided to take the latter in as a disciple. He wanted to train Aaron as the heir to his legacy.
Aaron was unconscious for days after suffering the brutal fall, and he was unconscious for a while after the initial surgery as well.
When he came to, he wouldn’t stop talking about Willow and asked Moses to take him to see her. He wanted her to know he was still alive.
It was by sheer coincidence that the day Moses followed Aaron’s instruction and showed up outside Willow’s apartment building at Bordello happened to be the day when the fire broke out.
