Cecelia reached out to take the business card, but at that moment, a long and slender hand reached out and grabbed the card. Remington took the business card and glanced at it, naturally wrapping his arm around Cecelia’s shoulder. “I’m sorry for my girlfriend dirtying your clothes. We will contact you once it’s cleaned.” Without giving Stanley a chance to speak, Remington took Cecelia away. Stanley turned around and looked at their backs, narrowing his eyes slightly. It seemed that if he wanted to get close to Cecelia, he must avoid Remington’s sight! Back in the private room, Remington directly threw the man’s coat and business card onto the nearby chair. “Be cautious of men like him in the future, and don’t give them any opportunities.” Remington instructed, and Cecelia smiled. “What opportunities? Do you think that man was deliberately trying to get close to me?” “Hard to say.” Remington took a sip of wine and said, “In my eyes, any man other than me who wants to talk to you is worth suspecting.” “Do you think I’m a heartthrob and that every man likes me?” Cecelia joked, and Remington suddenly leaned over, lifting her chin and speaking affectionately, “Of course! You’re a treasure that everyone in the world wants, but only I can have you!” His voice was gentle, his eyes filled with deep affection. He lost interest in the food on the plate but was full of enthusiasm for her. The two of them enjoyed each other’s company for a long time, longer than the time it took to dine. Reluctantly letting go of her, Remington said, “If it weren’t for other matters later, I definitely wouldn’t let you go.”

He got up and tidied himself. Fredric had already arrived outside the door. Remington entrusted him with the dry cleaning and left the restaurant with Cecelia. The premiere of the movie Joyful Life was held in the largest cinema in the Center City. Jimmy was the leading actor. Although the distributor was not Universal Entertainment, they had also invested in it. Cecelia and Remington quietly arrived at the scene and met Jimmy in the dressing room. “Boss! Boss! I’m honored that you can grace my new film premiere! I’m so grateful!” Jimmy saw Cecelia and immediately went over to shake hands, not showing any signs of being a popular actor, but rather a fanboy. “Ahem…” Remington coughed lightly, reminding him to be more restrained. Jimmy wasn’t afraid of Remington’s sharp gaze and said with a smile, “Thanks, Boss, for bringing your wife to attend my film premiere! This is my transformational work! Please take your seats. The premiere will start soon. After the premiere ceremony, I’ll treat you in Grande Club!” Jimmy was very happy and eager to prove his talent and acting skills in front of Cecelia. While they were chatting, a man walked in from outside and called out, “Jimmy!” Jimmy turned his head and was pleasantly surprised. “Stanley! How did you come?” “I just came back from abroad and heard that today is your film premiere, so I came to support you!” Stanley hugged Jimmy. “I heard you’re doing well now, running your own film and television company. Impressive!” “It’s nothing, just small-scale.” “Come, let me introduce my boss to you.” Jimmy happily introduced his old friend to Remington and Cecelia, “Boss, look, this is my best friend before I debuted, Stanley Wade. Stanley, this is my boss, Mr. Remington Nelson, and this is his wife, Cecelia Linsey.” “He’s Stanley? We seemed to have met at the restaurant earlier!” Remington recognized Stanley, and Stanley smiled, “Mr. Nelson, nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you! And this must be your wife? It was really a coincidence to meet earlier.”

“So you’ve already met?” They chatted, and Stanley spoke confidently without revealing any ambitions. In fact, Jimmy considered Stanley an old friend, but Stanley didn’t consider him a friend. He still held a grudge against Jimmy for snatching away his audition opportunity. If it weren’t for Jimmy, he might have become the dual-award-winning actor who was now famous and successful. Everyone exchanged a few words. Remington and Cecelia went to the scene first, while Stanley and Jimmy chatted for a while until the premiere began. The interviews before the premiere had already started. Jimmy, as one of the main actors, interacted with the fans in the audience during the interviews along with several other main actors. the director, and the main cast members. The atmosphere at the scene was lively. To cheer for Jimmy, Cecelia and Remington presented him with a colorful bouquet of flowers. After the interviews and interactions, the premiere officially began, and everyone watched the movie quietly. This movie of Jimmy’s belongs to the romantic comedy genre, with a touch of nostalgia, which was quite different from the style of his previous films. His acting skills were impeccable. It must be said that he was naturally talented in this field, or he would not have won the Best Actor award twice. During the one-and-a-half hours of watching, the audience was captivated by the plot, experiencing laughter, surprises, tears, and emotions. When the credits rolled, the whole audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. However, just as the premiere was coming to an end, several police officers entered the theater. They presented their credentials and said, “Mr. Jimmy Bloom, you have been reported for suspected drug use and possession. Please come with us for an inspection!” The officers grabbed Jimmy. He struggled and said, “I didn’t do it! Are you mistaken?” The scene erupted in chaos. His fans were dumbfounded as they watched Jimmy being taken away.

From his seat, Stanley watched Jimmy being arrested, and a barely noticeable smirk appeared on his lips. For a star at the peak of his career, such an unexpected event was equivalent to a fall from grace. It would be impossible for him to make a comeback in this lifetime! The sound of Jimmy’s resistance came from outside. Cecelia realized that something was wrong and said to Remington, “Hurry and go see what’s going on!” “I know!” Remington immediately got up and went after the police officers. The police officers didn’t immediately take Jimmy away but instead conducted an on-site inspection of him. They first checked his dressing room and the bags he carried with him. While searching his bag, they found a small bag of drugs. After confirming that it was a drug, they showed it to Jimmy. Jimmy was extremely anxious. “I don’t know what that is! Why is it in my bag? Call my assistant! Call my agent!” “Mr. Bloom, regardless of your identity, if you are involved in any illegal activities, you will face legal consequences! If you have any questions, address them at the police station! Take him away!” The leading officer waved his hand, and the officers took Jimmy away. “I didn’t do it. I really didn’t take drugs… I never have!” Jimmy consistently denied doing anything illegal. He had never touched that kind of thing before, so why was it in his bag? Remington arrived from outside, intercepting the police officers taking Jimmy away. He asked Jimmy, “What’s going on, Jimmy?” “Boss, I didn’t take drugs, really…” Jimmy was extremely distressed at the moment. He felt a sense of despair that he couldn’t improve his innocence no matter what. “I believe you. Don’t panic for now. I will find out the truth!”

With Remington’s reassurance, Jimmy didn’t have a nervous breakdown. The police took him away, and Remington stopped the leading officer to inquire about the situation. “Officer, is there a mistake in the information?”
