After Nichs was finally done dealing with the reporters, he led me backstage.


    udia was very surprised to see me and Nichs going into the room arm-in-arm. Her small face contorted with rage, and her eyes nearly popped out.


    She raised her voice as she demanded, "Nick! Why is Arianna here?"


    udia''s reaction was quite amusing. The person who was gloating to me just yesterday now looked like a deted balloon.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Tilting my head, I said casually, "This incident has affected me too. Your brother and I talked about it, so I''m taking this opportunity to clear things up as well. We can address thewsuit I filed against Cindy and his wife too." "Sorry, udia. This was ast-minute decision." I smiled at udia. "udia, you don''t mind, do you? Don''t worry, you''ll still be the focus here today. It won''t affect you at all."


    udia stomped her foot and ran to Nichs''s side. She pleaded, "Nick, how could you do this?"


    Unfortunately for her, Nichs was in an exceptionally good mood. But, of course, he was. His wife was pregnant and had even decided to get along with his stepsister. His home life was finally peaceful. How could he not be happy? Even though udia was about tosh out, he just thought she looked cute when she pleaded with him. I took everything in while smiling with crinkled eyes like a good sister-inw.


    Nichs gently patted udia''s head tofort her. "Don''t be silly. Be good and stay here with Arianna to get ready. You''ll be the most beautiful princess on camerater!"


    I thoughtfully adjusted Nichs''s tie and said softly, "You go ahead and take care of things. I''ll stay here with udia. We''ll go over the press conference questions togetherter to avoid any slip-ups."


    "Okay. I''ve made the arrangements with the reporters," Nichs replied casually before leaning down to kiss my forehead. "Don''t tire yourself out. Take care of your health. Tell me if you feel unwell, I''ll take you home immediately." He had made arrangements with all the reporters. Nichs really went all out for udia.


    I deliberately acted affectionately with him in front of udia by yfully pushing his shoulder shyly. I sneaked a nce at her.


    "Alright. I know you''re concerned about me, so go on now. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home."


    Nichs was still worried. He looked at udia and warned, "Arianna isn''t feeling well today. Take care of her. If anything happens, make sure to call me."


    "Nick!" udia pouted and dragged out her voice.


    Nichs frowned at her, his tone bing stern. "Understood?"


    udia red at me before reluctantly saying, "I got it!"


    I held Nichs''s hand and said understandingly, "udia''s about to go abroad. Don''t be too hard on her. I don''t mind tolerating her a bit."


    At this moment, I felt like I was a seductress from the ancient legends. I sneered coldly to myself in secret. udia was free to leave as long as she repaid what she owed me.


    After Nichs left, udia dropped her act. She looked at me and gritted her teeth. "Arianna, what did you do to Nick? After just one night, he''s at your beck and call! This is my press conference! Why are you butting in?"


    I sat down at a makeup station, and a stylist came over to fix my hair. I looked at udia through the mirror, whose face was turning dark with anger.


    "udia, are you talking nonsense because you''re too nervous? He''s my husband. Who else should he listen to if not me?"
