Chapter 617
Edward walked over to Juan and greeted him politely, “Mr. Nichols, I’m Edward, one of the artists with the Nichols Group.”
Edward was a sunny, bright young man. Juan merely nodded at him in acknowledgment, offering little in the way of conversation.
The other couples stood nearby. One pair was a once–famous couple in the industry.
Axel Decker was a veteran actor in his fifties, and his ex–wife, Emilee Carlson, was a goddess of her time. “Well, if it isn’t our legendary boss–man.”
A sultry voice called out from behind. Everyone turned, their faces filled with thinly veiled disdain.
The owner of the voice was Wendy Black, a once–popular actress. She wore a revealing dress and sported heavy makeup. Her features were striking, a mix of classic beauty and a hint of foreign ancestry, thanks to her foreign father.
Wendy had once ruled the entertainment world with her bold style and stunning looks. Her husband was upset about her style and eventually divorced her.
Debra recalled Wendy’s reputation. The fact that the production team had even brought Wendy onto the show was a bit of a surprise. Wendy had to be around 35 years old now.
Clearly, the producers were intent on gathering divorced couples from every age group.
Juan wasn’t interested in interacting with Wendy. When she extended her hand, he ignored it, leaving her hanging.
Thankfully, the camera crew shifted the focus just in time, preventing the awkwardness from showing too, much on the live feed.
As the stream continued, the chat exploded with comments.
[Girl, are you trying to flirt? But, um, have you checked your age lately?]
[Is she here to seduce the shoot a show?]

[Wait a minute. Didn’t they just announce their divorce yesterday? And now they’re here?]
[Apparently, it was a business decision to keep it quiet until now, but that’s not stopping them from doing a divorce show.]
The discussion was heating up online, but to help break the ice, the group sat together at a large table for
a chat.
Soon after, Wendy’s ex–husband, Hudson Fulton, came downstairs. He was a quiet man, around forty, with long hair and a melancholic vibe. His slender frame and artistic aura gave him an air of brooding mystery.
“Hudson, come over and sit,” Wendy said, pulling up a chair for him.
Hudson took his seat, not exchanging a single word with Wendy.

Megan fidgeted nervously. “This is my first time participating in a show like this.”
Emilee chimed in, “It’s a first for me too.”
Edward also spoke up. “Ms. Carlson, I’m such a big fan. I’ve watched your movie ‘Time Lovers‘ countless times. You and Mr. Decker were incredible in that film.”
Emilee smiled, “Well, Time Lovers was actually Mr. Fulton’s first movie. He was much younger than all of us back then, but he created something truly memorable.”
The attention shifted to Hudson, who smiled awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable in the spotlight.
Suddenly, Megan turned to Debra and asked, “Ms. Frazier, I saw the news today. Is it true that you and Mr. Nichols are getting divorced?”
Her question brought an abrupt silence to the table.
