Nicholas glanced up. He looked past my shoulder as his eyes landed 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, Nicholas’s black suit and Jasmine’s white dress made them look more like a couple.

The new director knew Nicholas. Without Nicholas‘ 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 placed 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 Nicholas appearing in matching outfits with her, she had all the confidence in the world.

It seemed Nicholas had softened his heart. His drunken order for her to leave immediately was probably just because for a moment, he was bewitched by me.

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?”

Her makeup was flashy. With a bright smile, she seemed to want to see me embarrassed. Once upon a time, I was also targeted by her like this on stage. Back then, Nicholas did not stand up for me. So I did not expect anything this time.

The relationship between Nicholas and me was hard to define. I was about to speak when Nicholas’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.

Nicholas leaned back in his chair. His posture was casual, but his gaze was particularly sharp. He looked at Jasmine and said, “Before interviewing others, think about whether you have the experience and ability yourself.”

The whole venue was in an uproar! The long–awaited dramatic scene finally unfolded, but Nicholas‘ public display of favoritism was unexpected.
