Chapter 2671
Night of Destiny
Otherwise, how coincidental could it be for him to end up in the room next door?
Ezekiel took out his phone in the adjacent room and dialed his assistantâs number. âGet me a spot on
the red carpet for tomorrowâs Fashion Weekâ
âMr. Weiss, are you also planning to walk the red carpet?â
âIâm taking someone with me,â Ezekiel replied.
After the passionate night between Catalina and Reuben in the luxurious confines of a five- star hotel,
he devoted himself entirely to her as he lay in bed with her. Although he was merely deemed a useless
man who had to use his body to climb up the ranks, he cared little for such judgments. Instead, he was
driven solely by pursuing a promising future.
Catalina, somewhat content with Reubenâs performance that night, smiled and spoke, âReuben, I canât
wait to see Harmonyâs downfall. I have my Internet ghostwriters ready. Once her video gets back to
Dansbury, weâll spread it widely. With her ability, she wonât stand a chance against the public backlash,
Letâs sit back and watch the entire Internet turn against her!â
Reuben, kissing her cheek, complimented, âYouâre remarkable, sweetheart. Harmony is no match for
you.â
âYou should show some effort, too. Improve your acting skills so you can handle and wonât miss out on
the roles I secure for you,â scolded Catalina.
Since Reuben was a gigolo, he had no choice but to endure her treatment with a grin. Even if he didnât
like hearing such words, he clung to Catalina playfully as he murmured, âOkay, Iâll improve my acting
skills so I donât disappoint my lovely wife.â
Catalina, a connoisseur of men, affectionately patted him with a smile. âGood. Iâll be waiting for the day
you win the Best Actor award. On that day, Iâll be your true wife.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated

The smile on Reubenâs face froze momentarily. The Best Actor award was still far from his reach, and
he had no noteworthy works under his belt. On the contrary, Harmony had unexpectedly secured the
Best Female award this year, casting him in the shadow of her apparent success. This made him look
as incompetent as her boyfriend. This was one of the reasons Reuben held disdain for Harmony. She
made him the subject of ridicule among those people who deemed him inferior to her.
Of course, he wouldnât show these feelings before falling out with Harmony. However, when Harmony
kissed and hugged another man in front of him that day, it was as if the darker side he had hidden all
this while had burst forth.
He resented it all. He wanted Harmony out of the industry, forced back to the low-level status from
which she had emerged, with no place to stand in this circle. Reuben fantasized about the day he
would have a standing in the industry. Once that happened, Harmony, who was desperate for survival,
would come crawling to him, much like a beggar seeking mercy.
Ever since she was orphaned and alone, she had no one in her corner with both parents gone. With a
background like hers, wasnât she practically destined to be a target for mistreatment?
As a second-generation star with parents of prominent status in the industry, Catalina initially had set
her sights on clinching a prestigious jewelry advertisement. Yet, Harmony emerged out of nowhere,
snatching the coveted brand from under her nose and turning her into a laughingstock within her social
circles.
At this moment, Catalinaâs viewpoint allowed her an unobstructed view of the colossal screen
displaying the scrolling advertisement. As she observed Harmonyâs graceful figure, Catalina tightly
grasped her glass of red wine.
The spotlight of that advertisement, so dazzling in the eyes of the public, should have rightfully
belonged to her. Reuben, emerging from the bed to encircle her waist, rested his face on her shoulder.
âLetâs go to sleep.â
âI canât sleep,â Catalina replied with a touch of indifference.
Reuben lifted his head to check her expression in response. His gaze followed hers to the distant
advertisement screen, where Harmonyâs silhouette appeared. The intense surge of passionate
emotions he had just vented on Catalina rushed back. Reuben harbored a complex mix of love and
unfulfilled desire towards Harmony.
Over the years, Harmony had firmly held her ground, refusing to give in. She insisted on reserving her
first time for marriage. Now, Reuben couldnât help but feel that he had been played for a fool. Why had
he shown her so much respect?
Now that he had lost her, he realized that the platonic love affair they had had for five years was too
much of a loss. Of course, he hadnât been idle privately and had pursued several young models while
she was busy with her career.
At that moment, Reuben silently contemplated, One day, Iâll make you beg to return to my side,
Harmony.
