Aline wasn't naive.

She had seen how Rena had stolen the spotlight at the party last night.

Rena held a prominent position in polite society, despite her youth.

Aline was envious and resentful.

Aline looked at Ruth and murmured, “Rena had a private conversation with Albert last night. I suspect she also questioned Albert about the inside information. That's why I want to bet on Albert."

Ruth smiled faintly.

"It's not confidential information."

She then informed Aline, “On the day of the competition, Zack won't make an appearance at all. Do you think he has a chance to win? The other contestants are no match for Albert."

"Is that so?"

“Why would I deceive you? Do you think I've spent the past few days on social engagements for nothing?"

The smile on Ruth's face faded.

"I must benefit from my efforts."

Ruth revealed that she had bet 8@ million on Albert, her entire savings.

“If all go well, I can double my profits," Ruth said.

Aline contemplated lighting a cigarette.

The allure of doubling her earnings was too tempting. Aline thought that, no matter how many movies she made, she couldn't make as much Money as she could with this bet.

Aline gazed at Ruth.

Ruth flipped her hair casually and stated.

"That's how it goes in this industry. Fortune favors the bold but despises the timid. Mrs.

Fowler has already placed a 200 million bet on Albert. What are you afraid of?"

Aline remained silent.

Back at her place, she smoked for a long time before calling her accountant. She withdrew 4@0 million from her account and placed it as a bet on Albert.
