Jane glared at Jonathan and twisted his arm forcefully."Jane, you're going to kill me," Jonathan exclaimed in agony."Do you realize how scared I was a moment ago?" Jane was infuriated and pinched him again.Even though she knew he was pretending, the thought of him saying, "Am I going to die?" made her heart ache.Jonathan was on the verge of tears due to the pain and said pitifully, "I didn't want them to bully you again."Jane understood his intentions but still warned him, "Don't make such statements in the future.""Okay," Jonathan nodded honestly.He changed the topic and said, "Jane, I watched 'The Voice of Dreams' yesterday. You sang the best.""Are you serious?""It's true, of course. Anderson's arrangement is excellent and suits you perfectly."Jane was at a loss for words and asked, "Are you praising me or him?""Both," Jonathan chuckled.At noon, Duke brought the meal again, and Jane realized that Damien was too kind to her.However, certain things were beyond her imagina
During the afternoon, Peter paid a visit to Jonathan.He questioned, "Are you alright online?"Jane declined, "Everything is in check, don't worry."Peter nodded and left without exchanging many words.Jonathan perceived the tension between the two of them and inquired, "Jane, what's the deal between you and Peter?""The last time he proposed, I rejected him," Jane disclosed.Jonathan's forehead creased, and he remained silent. If his sister wasn't interested, he couldn't do anything about it.At noon, Anderson gave a ring.He was currently filming his latest song's music video in London. Due to the time zone difference, he read the news on the internet quite late."Do you know Felix Wilson?" Anderson's sixth sense was quite sharp."My agent has connections with him, so I sought his assistance."As for the matter between her and Damien, she picked to keep it a secret.She questioned, "How was your music video shoot?""It went well. I'll be back in a few days. By the way, are you free?
The car was parked beneath a structure.Seth alighted from the car and escorted Jane inside.Upon their arrival at the reception, Seth explained his purpose, and the lady at the front desk promptly informed the relevant personnel.Shortly after, a gentleman in his thirties emerged from the lift.As soon as he laid eyes on Seth, he hastened over and said, "Mr. Seth, apologies for keeping you waiting."Seth shook his hand and replied with a smile, "I just arrived, Director Hisham. You are occupied with work, yet you still came to greet me. This is Jane Austen."Jane nodded at Director Hisham and said, "Director Hisham, greetings.""Ms. Jane, greetings," Director Hisham reciprocated with a smile.He then gestured to Seth, "Mr. Seth, please.""Director Hisham, lead the way," Seth nodded, and under Director Hisham's guidance, they took the lift.The lift halted on the twelfth floor, and Director Hisham led Seth and Jane to the reception area.Director Hisham invited Seth and Jane to take a
Seth breathed a sigh of relief as he got into the car."If it wasn't for your husband, I wouldn't have gone out. I'm really tired," he said.Jane's eyes flickered and she apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Seth."He looked at her and said, "Well, people need to work and those with money want to live.""Oh."Seth suddenly remembered something, "I forgot to tell you, you need to prepare another song."Jane was confused, "Why do I need to sing?""You forgot that you advanced," he reminded her.Jane frowned, "But the program team didn't plan for me to advance.""That's because they didn't know how talented you are. Now they want you to perform and they've doubled your appearance fee," Seth explained."Of course, if you don't want to sing, I can reject it."Jane made a quick decision, "It's okay, I'll sing."This was a great opportunity that she didn't want to miss.However, she didn't want to bother Anderson anymore, knowing he was busy.Seth seemed to understand her thoughts and reassured her,
Felix's expression turned cold, and he spoke with anger, "I'll go, who is the idiot spreading these rumors? Damien is unbeatable in the universe, cool and handsome!""Damien? Who is he?""It must be the boss!""The poor and the detestable are counting their chickens before they hatch, disaster will strike them tomorrow!"...Felix didn't have time to deal with the Instagram Live, so he signed out and went to check the trending topics on blogs."Felix Wilson owes Ciara Tyla an apology.""The despicable man next to Felix Wilson.""Felix Wilson is having an affair with Jane Austen."The marketing accounts seemed to have coordinated their attack, targeting Felix and Ciara.Firstly, they attacked Felix's appearance and bullied Ciara.Then, they attacked the man who was blurred in the video, defaming and slandering him to support Ciara.Moreover, because Felix had targeted Ciara, he was accused of having an affair with Jane, and their relationship was questioned."The rich second generation
Excited? Jane was taken aback for a moment, and replied firmly, "Absolutely not.""Jane, some people are meant to be a part of our lives, and we can only admire them. You are Seth's performer, so you will inevitably come across some wealthy heirs. Don't be tempted, as there is more than just a status difference between you and them. For people like them, women are disposable, like clothes that can be worn once and thrown away."Jane's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her gaze before replying, "Don't worry, I understand.""That's good, but Damien might be your good fortune."Jane chuckled, "When did you become superstitious?""I forgot to tell you last time, Jackson Drew is done for. His family went bankrupt, and Damien was the one who punished him."Jane's expression changed slightly, "Really?""Of course it's true. My boyfriend told me that it serves Jackson right for bullying us. Even Damien dares to stand up to him. He deserves it! But Damien isn't trying to help you out, i
Jane was briefly surprised, but then found the situation amusing once again, thinking it must have been a coincidence.Piper was right, they were separated by vast distances in terms of their social status, and he couldn't possibly have genuine feelings for her. At most, it was just a passing fancy.Watching the handsome heartthrobs on the screen, Jane couldn't help but think that Damien might soon earn the title of "Most Handsome Man" as well.She checked Ciara's post and saw that it was filled with mocking comments, all aimed at her for overestimating her abilities.When Damien spoke, Ciara didn't dare to say anything in response. She might not be afraid of upsetting netizens, but she certainly didn't want to offend Damien.It was too late to back down now.At noon, Jane received a call from Seth, which had nothing to do with work."Didn't Felix help you a lot this time? He wants to meet the real you. And, of course, there are also some friends of ours who would like to get to know
Jane gazed at his silent countenance and didn't dare to budge.Damien lifted the collar, folded it neatly and draped it over his fragrant shoulders.Jane noticed the crumpled collar and furrowed her brows. "What are you doing? The dress looks good with a collar.""It looks too good for anyone else to appreciate," Damien muttered.Jane couldn't hear him clearly. "What did you say?"Damien shot her a glance. "It's pointless to dress up too much for them."Jane was taken aback. If that was the case, why did he ask someone to give her this dress? "Shall we go?" Damien said.He reached out to hold her hand, but hesitated and turned away instead.Jane followed him outside.In the car, Jane spoke up. "Can we pretend not to know each other tonight?""Hmm?" Damien replied nonchalantly."I believe our marriage will be a shock to everyone if it's made public, and it's not suitable for today's occasion," Jane explained.Damien's eyes twinkled. "You make a valid point."Jane smiled. "So do you agr
After exiting the lift, Jane suddenly inquired, "Mr. Sala, who was that lady that welcomed you at the elevator entrance just now? She seems familiar!"Sala gazed at her intently, his eyes filled with confusion.Director Hisham followed closely behind and stated, "That's Manager Archana from the Design Department. She is a young and talented individual. She won the International Jewelry Design Award at the age of 21. Do you know her?"Jane smiled faintly, "She was my senior.""You're also an art major?" Director Hisham was slightly taken aback.Jane nodded, "Yes, but I dropped out of school.""That's a shame, otherwise we could have been colleagues." Director Hisham chuckled.Jane simply smiled and said nothing. At that time, she had a preference for oil painting, but she could also draw animes.Of course, she had tried her hand at jewelry design as well, since there was a design award with a substantial cash prize.Unfortunately, the design drawings she had created vanished, and when
In the morning, at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Switzerland, Seth escorted Jane into the hall.Director Hisham immediately recognized them and greeted them, "Mr. Seth, Miss Jane.""Director Hisham, good morning. Why did you personally come to pick me up?" Seth asked with a smile."It's the least I could do." Director Hisham smiled back. "Please.""Thank you." Seth led Jane towards the elevator.After exiting the elevator, Jane followed Seth into the adjacent conference room and spotted a familiar figure.He was leaning against the door, engrossed in his phone conversation.Director Hisham approached him and said, "Mr. Baker, Mr. Seth and Ms. Jane have arrived."Sala Baker glanced up, his gaze landing on Seth and Jane. "Long time no see."Jane nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's been a while."Seth looked at them both in surprise, "Do you two know each other?""We've met before," Jane explained.Seth accepted her answer without further inquiry.He patted Sal
Paparazzi? Jane's expression changed slightly, she instinctively glanced around."Don't look, they're behind me." Anderson took off his coat and covered Jane's head, "Come with me."He grabbed Jane's wrist, and the two walked directly to the parking area.After entering the car, Anderson said, "I need to shake off the celebrity photographers first, so I can take you back to the hospital later.""It's alright." Jane's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked at Anderson, "Did they capture us just now?""They probably did, don't worry, I'll handle it." Anderson said reassuringly.Jane sensed that it wouldn't be as simple as he claimed. If the two of them were caught on camera together, the headlines would undoubtedly be unavoidable tomorrow.Although Anderson had only been in the industry for a few years, he had a significant following and a large fan base, especially among female fans.Anderson had a few rumored girlfriends in the past, and many of his fans didn't accept them. They criti
As per the schedule, Jane visited the recording studio the next morning.Anderson and Piper arrived early, causing Jane to feel a little embarrassed.After exchanging pleasantries, Jane began practicing singing, choosing a song from Piper's collection.While she sang, Anderson worked on the arrangement, while Piper listened carefully, pointing out any flaws in Jane's performance.After a morning of training, the trio enjoyed lunch together and continued practicing in the afternoon.At around five o'clock, Piper called a halt to the session, cautioning Jane that over-practicing could be detrimental to her voice.Jane agreed, suggesting they go out for dinner, with her offering to treat them.Anderson objected, wary of her spending too much, but Jane reassured him that she had recently secured an endorsement deal.To ensure privacy, they dined at a restaurant owned by Anderson's friend, with Jane focusing the conversation on Anderson and Piper's recent work.Noticing Anderson's hectic s
Piper asked again, "Is he the guy you mentioned that you have feelings for?"Jane replied without hesitation, "No.""Don't lie to me, if someone is so into me, I'll definitely fall for him too." Piper didn't believe her.Jane went silent and said, "What if the person is a middle-aged man in his 50s with acne scars all over his face, would you still love him?"Piper was at a loss for words.After a while, she reluctantly said, "But he's tall and has a good physique.""That's just his back, you haven't seen his face." Jane said seriously.To convince Piper, she had to feel sorry for Damien."Fine, but don't hate on netizens, or they'll accuse you of being ungrateful." Piper warned."Don't worry, I won't." Jane assured her."I've made up my mind, I'll teach you how to sing starting tomorrow, and Anderson is also here, we'll meet at the usual place." Piper said."Okay."Jane hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. She had managed to deceive Piper, or else she would have pried furt
In the morning, Jane sat in the hospital poring over the two scripts Seth had given her.At noon, Duke called her and once again delivered her meal.Taking the bag from Duke, Jane asked out of habit, "Have Damien eaten?"Realizing her mistake, she forced a smile and thanked him.As she walked towards the gate with the bag, Duke reported to his boss, "I suspect the Madam may call to inquire about your lunch later."Jane knew she couldn't call Damien, as she didn't want to reveal her feelings for him.She couldn't even pinpoint when she had developed feelings for him - was it when he had rushed to her side after she fell on set, or when he had defended her from criticism in the parking lot?Or was it simply because he was handsome and wealthy, like many women were attracted to?She didn't know."Jane, the mushrooms fell on the table," Jonathan interrupted her thoughts with a frown.Jane quickly cleaned up the mess, but Jonathan could tell something was bothering her.Although she denied
Shortly after arriving at the medical center, Seth called Jane with some good news."I have some great news for you. IOC has agreed to endorse you."Jane was taken aback for a moment, then passed the peeled apple to Jonathan, and wiped her hands with a piece of paper."Okay.""I'll come to pick you up the day after tomorrow to sign the contract.""Sure!" Jane replied."By the way, I have already uncovered the Ciara fan responsible for throwing concentrated sulfuric acid on you."Jane was a little surprised and asked, "So, am I trending again?""Without a doubt!""Okay." Jane hung up and logged into Twitter, clicking on the trending page.Exclusive Celebrity Secret: While Ciara Tyla appears to be suppressing Jane Austen, her fans are secretly planning against her. Every icon has such followers. 【video】Jane clicked on the video. The footage was a little dark, and it showed the moment when Ciara's fan threw the acid at her. Damien's face was blurred as he kept his back to the camera thr
Jane was preoccupied, unable to sleep properly at night, and had a dream during the latter half of the night.In the dream, she clung to a man's body, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw the man's face clearly. Her expression changed dramatically, and she pushed him away abruptly.Jane suddenly woke up in bed, rubbed her head, and recollected the dream with an irritated expression on her face.What was going on? Why did she keep having such dreams lately? After lying down for a while, she sat up and checked her phone. It was already late.She got out of bed, went to the bathroom to freshen up, changed her attire, and headed downstairs.As she reached the stairs, she spotted Damien walking out of his room. Her expression altered slightly, and she looked away before rushing down the stairs.Just as Damien was about to speak to her, he saw her hastening downstairs. He smirked, was she still shy? he thought.At the dining t
Jane emerged from the shower and lay on the bed, suddenly recollecting how Seth had asked her to prepare a song.After pondering over it, she contacted Piper.Piper's lively voice answered the phone, "Hey girl.""It's quite late, I hope I didn't disturb you and your partner.""No, not at all. Tell me, what can I do for you?""I have progressed in the "Voice of Dreams" program, and I want to select one of your songs."The only songs she felt comfortable singing were those by Piper and Anderson."That's not a problem. We can discuss it when you perform. I'm not too busy these days, so I can give you some guidance.""In a week or two.""Okay, then I'll make plans to meet up with you."Jane sensed that Piper was about to hang up the phone and quickly said, "Piper, I have a private question.""Sure, go ahead."Jane hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is going through a difficult time lately. Whenever she talks to a boy, she gets teased, her face turns red, and her heart b
