Chapter 26 The Rising Star
Jeremy lay on the treatment room bed shirtless, his well–defined muscles flexed under the light.

“Your pulse feels much steadier than last week. The new prescription seems to be working well,” Amelia said while checking his pulse.
Jeremy half–closed his eyes, his voice low. “Yeah, I’m sleeping much better.”
Amelia took out silver needles, skillfully inserting them into pressure points on his back.
“But we still need to continue treatment. The frostbone poison in your body isn’t completely eliminated yet.”
The moment the silver needles pierced the pressure points, Jeremy’s muscles tensed slightly.
Amelia noticed right away. “Does it hurt?”
“I’m fine.” Jeremy opened his eyes, gazing at her as she concentrated. “Do you need me to come with you to the Nygard Residence tomorrow?”
Amelia didn’t stop what she was doing. “Nah, I can handle it.”
After the treatment was finished, Jeremy sat up, slowly buttoning his shirt. “By the way, let me show you something. He handed over his phone, displaying today’s trending topics about the reality show.

[Amelia’s Perfect Survival Skills]
[Gianna’s Deadweight Performance]
Amelia raised an eyebrow. “Looks like the audience has good taste.”
“That’s not all.” Jeremy Scrolled down, revealing brand collaboration offers. “Seven major brands have already reached out to your studio.”
Amelia chuckled. “Marcelo must really regret letting me

She handed the phone back. “But this is just the beginnin
The more activities Marcelo arranged, the higher her fame would rise. She’d crush Gianna completely.
That sister–obsessed maniac Marcelo was going to lose his mind.
Jeremy looked at her thoughtfully. “So you plan to keep cooperating with them?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Amelia sterilized and stored each silver needle carefully.
“The wider the path they pave for me, the higher I’ll climb. Gianna won’t be able to reach me no matter how hard she tries.” She looked up, a sharp glint in her eyes.
She was already planning to gradually cut off the Nygard Group’s funding. When they desperately needed investors, she’d swallow the company whole. Her contract would transfer over too. The look on their faces when they finally figured it out would be priceless.
Amelia had already begun making preparations.
Jeremy laughed. “You hold grudges better than I expected.”

“This is called an eye for an eye.” Amelia closed her medical kit.
“Good. If you need help with anything, just ask.” Jeremy said warmly.
Finished
“Thanks. I might actually need your help later.” Having Jeremy as her ally made Amelia feel completely secure. Looking at this man who had her back no matter what, a warmth spread through her chest.
After the celebration party, Marcelo came to pick up Gianna immediately.
Knowing she’d worked hard these past days, he brought her favorite macarons.
“Marcelo!” Gianna threw herself into his arms as soon as she got in the car. “Look what those people are saying about me online!”
Gianna had only checked her phone after the party. Seeing those comments made her blood boil.
She thought her fame would definitely crush Amelia. Her fans were usually so supportive.
She never expected the audience to be so stupid this time. They all said she was dead weight and manipulative on the show.
It was infuriating! When had she done any of that?
Marcelo lovingly stroked Gianna’s hair. “Ignore those internet trolls. Our PR team is already on it. I’ll sue every single account that insulted you.”
Gianna looked up with tears in her eyes. “Marcelo, Amelia hates that you spoil me. So she deliberately stole my spotlight on the show, making me look bad!”
Marcelo’s expression turned dark. “Don’t worry, I won’t let her
get away with this.”
Gianna sobbed. “But… but now brands are all going after Amelia. Nobody’s even calling me.”
