Chapter 666 Condemning Thomas

• The night was beautiful, and the city lights were even more dazzling. And some people were in just as good a mood—Wilhelm, for instance. He scrolled through article after article online, each one subtly throwing shade at Thomas, and couldn't help the smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
• Wilhelm hated Seraphina, but he hated Thomas even more. They were around the same age, came from similar backgrounds, but Thomas' brilliance had only ever made his own mediocrity more glaring.
• Back in their youth, Thomas had already made a name for himself as a young prodigy in the art world. Wilhelm had thought that was it, that Thomas would walk the path of a quiet artist. But then that idiot had gone off into the entertainment industry all by himself. Wilhelm had waited to watch him make a fool of himself, but instead, Thomas had made it big. He'd carved out a space for himself in the spotlight, shining so brightly that everyone else faded into the background.
