The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

These actors and singers, at this moment, represent something with blurred boundaries... how should I put it, auction items?

Tang Tang's attention hadn't been on Merrick the whole time, so she hadn't really looked him over.

After regaining her senses, Tang Tang noticed the watch and jewelry Merrick was wearing, which complemented his temperament and didn't seem out of place.

At this moment, they are not only models, but also items up for auction.

Brand ambassadors are obligated to attend dinners and salons and to showcase themselves and the jewelry to other VIPs.

The boundaries are ambiguous; you can stay where you are, or you can go further.

Of course, most people who have reached their current status are not entirely without character. While there are instances of coercing these attractive men and women into consenting, they are not common.

But to be honest, worldwide, if you have no connections, those who reach the top of the industry are more or less not clean.

Sometimes it's not that we don't want to keep things clean, but that we have no other choice.

Tang Tang didn't think too much about it. She smiled, lazily drank the wine in her glass, and looked at Merrick, asking, "What works have you acted in?"

She sat in a two-seater sofa, leaning against the armrest, legs crossed, in a relaxed posture that wasn't exactly impeccable manners.

But Tang Tang didn't care, nor did she need to. With her current status, it was clear that no one would dare to question her no matter what she did.

Merrick sat next to Tang Tang, not far from her, but also very discreetly not too close.

He was very respectful and obedient, bending down to pour wine for Tang Tang and answering her questions earnestly.

"Hmm," Tang Tang heard him mention a few movie names and actually recognized them.

Tang Tang wasn't attracted to Merrick at first glance because he just looked like a handsome man—of course, few people who make it in Hollywood aren't handsome.

But Merrick's smile was quite interesting. He looked handsome, tall, and muscular.

But when he smiled, his features became dull. He was still handsome, but he lost some of his masculine aggression. He looked... quite honest, like a saint, the kind of person who would only try to comfort someone who was bullied.

“My brother is a student at Harvard,” Merrick said as he poured Tang Tang a drink and placed the dessert in front of her. He then explained in a low voice, “He greatly admires Mr. Vanderbilt. Later, Mr. Vanderbilt became friends with you, and he told me a lot about you.”

Tang Tang looked slightly surprised. "Brothers?"

“Yes,” Merrick said, clearly not expecting Tang Tang to ask. He glanced at Tang Tang with his brown eyes before saying somewhat awkwardly, “We are half-brothers… My brother is also studying business.”

Tsk, she clearly didn't do anything, so why does this man in front of her seem a little afraid of her?

Tang Tang thought about it for a moment and felt that Merrick had round eyes and a big chest, making him look like a somewhat cowardly brown bear.

She stared at Merrick for a moment, then tried to recall if she had seen a boy who looked like him in class.

Unfortunately, Tang Tang had no recollection of it at all.

What's your brother's name?

“Zefel,” Merrick said, a smile appearing on his face.

Tang Tang found Merrick somewhat interesting. She scrutinized him and still thought he looked like a priest or a pastor... Putting aside everything else, he had a very broad chest, and even in a suit, you could see his large pectoral muscles.

Putting everything else aside, he was good-looking and didn't talk much. Tang Tang didn't make things difficult for him and simply bought his entire outfit.

I didn't even bother to ask the price.

Merrick paused for a moment, looked at Tang Tang, and then thanked her somewhat awkwardly.

Tang Tang suddenly looked at him with a slightly mischievous expression and asked, "Is this your first time?"

What first time?

Merrick froze for a moment, then his face suddenly turned red, his ears also turned red, and his round, light brown eyes looked at Tang Tang, making him seem even easier to bully.

It made it seem like Tang Tang was flirting with him.

However, he still answered Tang Tang somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, yes... I haven't been to a banquet before."

To be precise, Merrick was not even qualified to participate in these events before this.

He starred in a movie last year, which suddenly became a hit after its release, leading to his fame and status this year.

Before this, he had simply been diligently and methodically filming. Merrick did not lie to Tang Tang; he and his brother were half-brothers.

He is the child of his mother and ex-husband.

My stepfather's family is a branch of a wealthy family. Although they can't be called top-tier, they still have some influence.

After his parents divorced, Merrick lived with his father. His mother remarried and had a younger brother.

The two brothers took completely different paths in life until their biological father died of a drug overdose, after which Merrick was taken home by his mother.

He was his mother's child with his ex-husband, and was three years older than his mother's younger brother born to his stepfather. In a sense, he was his mother's burden.

His stepfather treated him neither well nor badly; to be precise, he completely ignored him, since Merrick was about to come of age and could live independently when he was brought back.

Merrick was actually very grateful to his stepfather, who did not abuse him or stop his mother from giving him living expenses. Merrick, in turn, tried to minimize his presence in the family and moved to the university after he was admitted to college.

He didn't want his presence to disrupt his mother's life.

Later, during his university years, Merrick was scouted and landed some supporting roles. Merrick couldn't say he was particularly passionate about acting, but he wanted to earn the money, become independent early, and try not to bother his mother.

He graduated as expected and became an actor who, while not a huge star, was still able to earn a decent living. With his stepfather's family backing him, Merrick has steadily progressed to where he is today.

Until last year, his film became a hit. As a spokesperson, Merrick is obligated to attend events, but he's still a little unaccustomed to it.

In this circle, the exchange of power for sex is too common. When Merrick learned that his client was Tang Tang, he was genuinely relieved.

He had a good relationship with his younger brother, who had indeed told him a lot about Tang Tang. Merrick thought that Miss Newman was very young, even prettier than a movie star, and came from such a good family, so she certainly wouldn't make things difficult for him.

Sure enough, Merrick breathed a sigh of relief when he came to Tang Tang's side.

Miss Newkman... is very pretty.

He was explaining to Tang Tang what had happened before, but he was interrupted by a male voice with an ambiguous laugh after only a few words.

"Muse, so you were here all along."

Feng Lan walked over with a smile on her face, but when she looked down at Merrick, her eyes were cold and devoid of any smile.
