Nichs nced up. He looked past my shoulder as his eyesnded on Jasmine behind me.


    "Seems like spreading rumors offline was not enough for her. Now, she''s trying to do it online too!"


    "Look! The main character has arrived. I wonder what kind of drama will unfold now."


    "It''s clearly a movie about three people, but Ariana seems to have no part in it."


    The venue was in an uproar. No one expected to see the "male lead" they had been talking about today. Everyone''s eyes were filled with curiosity, mostly anticipating how I might be humiliated. After all, Nichs''s ck suit and Jasmine''s white dress made them look more like a couple.


    The new director knew Nichs. Without Nichs'' promotion, he would not have gotten this opportunity and would not be where he was today.


    The directing team was in chaos. They quickly cleared the center seat in the front row and ced a chair just for him. At this moment, even the cameras were not as important.


    The cameras finally turned to focus on him, but they only managed to capture one shot. It was a shot of him just sitting down as he looked up at the stage with a cool and expressionless face.


    His handsome face filled the entire screen. This instantly attracted some new fans who were swayed by his looks.


    "Forget two women fighting over him, if it were me, I''d be willing to watch him with other women from the bedside!"


    Jasmine straightened her back. If she had felt any uncertainty when taunting me earlier, now with Nichs appearing in matching outfits with her, she had all the confidence in the world.


    It seemed Nichs had softened his heart. His drunken order for her to leave immediately was probably just because for a moment, he was bewitched by me.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    This man had always been soft-hearted. If Jasmine used her imminent departure as a request, how could he not help her finish this act?


    Even if he no longer supported her with resources, she could continue to throw her weight around using his name.


    She looked at me below with contemptuous eyes as her lips curled into a mocking smile. Would it not be foolish to just ask for love from such a resourceful man?


    She had figured it all out, and she would not be a fool anymore. But she was still jealous, jealous of those who could get everything others dream of without any effort. She took the microphone with a smile as she drew everyone''s attention back.


    "Everyone, don''t just look at the handsome man. We have beauties on stage too. Ms. Jones, as an old friend we haven''t seen in a long time, everyone misses you quite a bit.


    "The talk about fading from public


    view due to being lovesick, I think that''s just a joke. Did you perhaps. feel that your experience and abilities were not enough to support the program after participating in the


    show, so you chose to withdraw?"


    swnovel


    Her makeup was shy. With a bright smile, she seemed to want to see me embarrassed. Once upon a time, I was also targeted by her like this onstage. Back then, Nichs did not stand up for me. So


    not


    expect anything this time.


    The rtionship between Nichs and me was hard to define. I was about to speak when Nichs''s cool voice came through.


    He did not have a microphone, so the TV audience couldn''t hear him. However, the guests and audience at the venue heard his words clearly.


    Nichs leaned back in his chair.


    His posture was casual, but his gaze was particrly sharp. He looked at Jasmine and said, "Before


    interviewing others, think ab


    whether you have the experience and ability yourself."


    The whole venue was in an uproar! The long-awaited dramatic scene finally unfolded, but Nichs'' public disy of favoritism was unexpected.
