Chapter 163 Chapter 163: For Adele, this was a high-stakes gamble with everything on the line. A successful collaboration would lead to a smooth road to fand fortune, while failure would ruin her reputation and future in the industry.
"Aren't you worried I might be deceiving you, setting you up to lose?" Khloe asked, her smile tinged with surprise at Adele's swift agreement.
Logically, Adele should have been hesitant, but when their eyes met, she felt an unexpected rush of confidence and trust. "Because I believe in you, Miss Evans. I know you're not someone who loses." Khloe's eyes dropped slightly as she let out a soft chuckle. "I've lost plenty in the past." Adele was momentarily taken aback, her eyes following as Khloe's fingers intertwined. Khloe then spoke with unwavering confidence. “But from here on out, I'm not losing to anyone." She reached into the drawer of the table, pulling out a contract and sliding it towards Adele. Her eyes were cold and unreadable, but her smile never wavered.

The acting instructor was Colette Truman, a former top professor from the Film Academy and a celebrated actress from thirty years ago.
Colette's silver hair was styled neatly, held up by a jade hairpin that added a touch of elegance. Though the years had left their traces on her features, every movement of hers was filled with grace and poise, radiating a soft, gentle demeanor.
Under her friendly exterior, Colette was known for her sharp tongue and strictness as a teacher. Even Rafael, once her student, had been scolded harshly without daring to speak back, and he had to serve her coffee as a gesture of apology. Colette studied Khloe, who exuded beauty and tranquility, reminiscent of a delicate flower.
At first, Colette had been put off by Khloe, believing she was just another young star supported by a sugar daddy. However, after just a few lessons, Colette was taken aback by Khloe's natural talent for acting and even thought about taking her on as a student, though Khloe declined.
Despite this, Colette didn't give up. She continued to show real care and concern for Khloe, often going out of her way to offer guidance, hoping that one day Khloe would carry on her legacy.

Seeing this, Colette quickly made a call, arranging for her personal massage therapist to cover. Within moments, a massage station was set up in the room, ready to pamper Khloe. Khloe didn't hesitate to indulge in the luxury, reclining gracefully, her long hair flowing freely as she relaxed into the massage, all the while absorbing Colette's insightful words.

"I heard the Peaks of Eternity team is still looking for a young girl to play the lead's childhood. I have a suggestion. Would you be interested in hearing it?" Khloe rested her cheek in her hand, her eyes lightly settling on Colette. With a soft smile and a slight raise of her eyebrows, she said, "Go ahead. I'm open to suggestions."
Colette wasted no tin getting straight to the point. "I have someone in mind. My granddaughter, Shelly! Truman She's fourteen, and though she's young, she's acted in a few films. She has solid experience. If you're open to it, I'd love for her to audition."
Under normal circumstances, Colette would have pulled strings to secure the role for Shelly outright. But with Khloe, Colette knew better than to be so presumptuous. She deeply admired Khloe's immense talent. Beyond that, she understood Khloe's rare combination of captivating looks, commanding acting prowess, and the unshakable backing of Evergreen Capital. It was clear Khloe was on a fast track to becoming one of the brightest stars in the industry.
Leveraging her role as Khloe's acting coach, Colette saw this as the perfect chance to pitch Shelly if her om e granddaughter could win Khloe's favor, even receiving a small share of Khloe's vast resources could pave an easier path to stardom. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
