\u201cWith Haskell Palmer, with Jagger Lincoln, with the singer Leopold. So many stories.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when I heard Gustave was casting the male lead for \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018, I came here thinking it was worth a shot, that maybe this was my chance. I never thought I\u2019d actually get the part.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Judson, if I told you I need you to save my girlfriend, Tawny\u2026 would you help me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa had been expecting some clich\u00e9, dramatic story with a\u00a0<\/p>\n
twist\u2013something like Tawny betraying him for someone more powerful and then smearing his name first to protect her own reputation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this? He was asking her to save Tawny?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d Larissa asked, leaning back into the sofa, her curiosity thoroughly piqued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wynn took a deep breath and told Larissa the whole story.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe stories you read online are true. The only reason I got my break three years ago, the reason I won that award, was because Tawny was always there, encouraging and supporting me. I would\u2019ve given up on acting long ago without her,\u201d Wynn said. \u201cWhat I didn\u2019t realize was that my entire career was built on her sacrifice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSome powerful figure in Regal City had his sights set on her. To protect me, she felt she had no choice but to give in. Her only condition was that he get me a role. But that deal must have angered him, because on the very day I won the award for that film, he arranged a car \u2018accident\u2018 that was meant to kill me. I survived, but my assistant, who was driving for me that night, wasn\u2019t so lucky. So the bastard switched tactics. He started the rumor that my assistant and I were having an affair and used his influence to completely blacklist me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 540\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if he actually loves Tawny or what, but after that, he pushed her into the industry and spent a fortune turning her into a star\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this point, Larissa cut him off. \u201cWait a second. Did Tawny tell you any of this herself? Or is this all just your own conjecture?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wynn gave a bitter smile. \u201cIt\u2019s my own theory\u2026 but while I was recovering in the hospital, I kept replaying conversations we\u2019d had. All these little things she said\u2026 it finally dawned on me that she\u2019d been trying to hint at the truth all along.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd her eyes\u2026 every time I see her in an interview, they just look wrong. The light is gone. She looks so crushed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can see it in her. If I don\u2019t get her out, I\u2019m afraid she\u2019s going to\u2026 take her own life.\u201d He spoke with absolute conviction, his expression grim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa crossed her arms, studying him. \u201cYou realize that if you told this story to anyone else, they\u2019d say the accident knocked a screw loose.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know\u2026\u201d Wynn\u2019s face fell for a moment. \u201cSo\u2026 you believe me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s be clear,\u201d Larissa said, her tone serious. \u201cI think your look, your entire presence, is a perfect fit for the lead in \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018. Because of that, I\u2019m willing to see if there\u2019s any truth to your story. That, and the fact Gustave vouches for your character.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, yes. I\u2019ll look into it. I\u2019ll find out if Tawny is really being controlled by some powerful figure like you say.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wynn, who had remained surprisingly calm while telling his story, let a flicker of emotion show. His relief was quickly tempered by a new wave of anxiety. \u201cMy only worry,\u201d he said, his voice low, \u201cis that even if you prove I\u2019m right, this man will be too powerful for even you to cross.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
