Paige was about to get the Best Hosts award last time.She sacrificed herself to come on to Adela's fiance Jameson so as to get this award, but she didn't expect that Adela would expose herself through live streaming to win netizens' sympathy on the ceremony night. Everybody knew her scandal with Jameson now.Therefore, she lost not only the award but also her reputation. She bit her tongue at that time.What was more unexpected was that Adela could get into the Network P, even though she had just lost her fiance and her baby.'Since Adela is still thinking about inserting herself into the set, then I'll use that to my advantage.' Paige thought with her fists clenching."Our Charity Gala is on the same time with the one of the Network P. Since it's a live show, the audience will have to choose between us. Only one of us can be the winner."Tanner waved his hand and tried to cheer them up, "Though the Network P has done better in the promoting, we still have a few more days to get
Backstage.Jessica received Christian's message: [Be careful. Someone is hostile to you.]Christian, out of the corner of his eye, saw that Grace's eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment. He was worried and felt that he'd better remind Jessica.Jessica smiled faintly, hid her smile immediately and typed to reply Christian quickly. [Jessica: Are you the person?]Christian stared at his screen for a few seconds and was in a sulk.After the lively and customary dance, the six hosts walked on stage. Hammer and Jessica stood in the center position. The hosts next to them were Paige and Paige's partner. Also, there were two new hosts. The gala was large and a feast for viewers' eyes.The gala began in earnest!Jessica looked bright, beautiful and elegant in the red gown. Her hairstyle was simple and her make-up was clean. All of these matched her rosy lips well. Although the color of the lipstick was bright, she pulled it off perfectly. She was neither too sexy nor too tacky.
Gail approached Jessica and whispered to her, "Could it be that this was coming at you?""I don't know.""Do you think it's Paige?" Gail asked again.Jessica took a glance at Paige waiting on the other side; then she narrowed her eyes and said, "Not sure. We'll wait and see."Offstage.Grace skimmed through the public opinions which almost drove her crazy.The netizens were commending Jessica for her quick reaction.Meanwhile, some media began to comment on what had happened tonight.[Jessica Saved Hammer from His Big Mistake][Jessica Made a Splash Again on the Live Streaming][Hammer Bailey: How the Famous Host Went from Professional to Illiteracy?]All the attacks on Hammer were supposed to be against Jessica, but Grace didn't expect that Jessica could turn the tide.She typed angrily on her phone: [You idiots! There are so many other companies. Why did you pick the one under the Maddox Group?]The reply came quickly: [We are sorry, Miss! We thought the effect would be
"Jessica, please marry me!"The man shouted, holding a ring with a large and shining diamond that the surrounding audience could see clearly.Each one was in a daze for a few seconds."Jessica, please marry me!""I've been your fan and fallen for you for many years! This diamond ring cost all my money!"The man exclaimed excitedly with a small speaker in one hand and the ring in the other."I've run out of my money! I can't live without you!"It brought out a commotion on the spot.To be honest, Jessica couldn't be unaffected. She was shocked into keeping silent for a few seconds.Before she made any reaction, one large strong hand grasped the wrist of the man's hand holding the diamond ring, and the other hand pressed his shoulder, exerting some force and pushing the man away.'Christian…'Jessica's heartbeat slowed down as she saw Christian standing out and isolating her from the excited man with his body to protect her.With him around, she had nothing to be afraid of.
"You tell me."Christian said in a sexy and raspy voice. He rested his head on Jessica's shoulder and smelled her perfume behind her ear.Jessica blushed and tried to push him away, "The live streaming is not over yet.""The directors told me you can take a break for 30 minutes." He held her in his arms."Stop it.""I'm serious. I'll have it done quickly and leave you some time to touch up your foundation."Jessica was tickled. She giggled and pushed him away.But the next second, he turned her round and held her again, "Do you feel better now?"Jessica looked up into his gentle eyes and said in a coquettish manner, "So you are just teasing...""What?"What a man!It was hard to tell if they were joking with you!Jessica pretended to punch him, but her fist was grabbed by him, "Be careful of your words. I always have time for you.""Who needs your time?"Jessica got out of his arms and left, "You stay here, I'm leaving.""Where are you going?""Someone wants me out of t
The Bailey family behind Hammer was also very powerful. Jessica believed the news that Hammer's men found out. Besides, her intuition told her the same thing.Looking at Jessica's calm eyes, Hammer realized that he had underestimated her who returned to work as a host.If one was incompetent, it was difficult for the one to convince others even with powerful background and outstanding appearance because the background would decay and the one would become old.His views on Jessica were narrow, so he didn't notice her ability.He asked Jessica, "Have you guessed it already?"Jessica picked up a hair band and tied up her hair casually. "Did Grace do that?"At first, Jessica was not sure about that. She doubted if Paige did that, but Paige must haven't arranged the live proposal. Paige had just returned to the TV station and was eager to salvage viewers through the gala. Such a big accident was not good for her.If Paige did that, she should have arranged someone to propose to herse
Seeing how professional Jessica was, Gail was shocked with her eyes wide open. Then she grabbed the mouse from Jessica swiftly."What are you doing?" Jessica asked."To take a screenshot! What if they noticed and deleted it? You have to keep the evidence.""Don't be worry. Wasin Group has made a copy." Jessica said calmly.The other Tweets from those two anti-fans showed it clearly who orchestrated this PR crisis against Jessica.Gail was still worried. "What a snake in the grass! Grace is so manipulative!"Jessica frowned, "Actually, I'm not quite sure.”“I have the evidence about her tricks in the Adventure Show. She's not a fool. She knows I won't expose it for the show, at least for now.“But I have something on her after all. She shouldn't be this aggressive and set me up over and over again. I bet she has another plan...”"Do you want to fight back?" Gail was confused by what Jessica had said.Jessica shook her head slowly and said, "I'll wait and see. Wasin will help m
Alarm appeared in Gail's eyes."Are you saying the series of schemes Grace devised against you are still ongoing?"Jessica faintly frowned. "It surprises me how she, a starlet, has got such an intimate knowledge of how to manipulate her fans. Unless I'm very much mistaken, soon a whole lot of netizens disguised as onlookers will start criticizing me online. They'll make a long list of my shortcomings and the dirt they've dug on me, claim I'm not fit to play a role in Director Bacchus's movie, then state who they believe is the perfect candidate.""Oh, I get it!"Gail caught on to the key of the stratagem. "They'll say you're not fit for the character, that Grace is clearly a better candidate, and then a lot of netizens will follow the tide and start throwing mud at you. Eventually, even if Director Bacchus believes you're the best candidate, he'll have to take into consideration the opinions of the netizens."Jessica inclined her head blandly. "That's right. This is what they call
The next day, Jessica went to work in the TV station. Her assistant reported the recent schedule to her.Jessica listened for a while, raised her head and asked, "Didn't you say that I needed to prepare for Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve next week?"The assistant said in a hurry, "It occurs to me... It may be changed. We'd better delay the preparation in case you will prepare for it in vain...""What's the matter?" Jessica frowned slightly."I have arranged for someone to investigate and haven't gotten the exact news yet. It is said that the organizers of Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve have changed their minds and will invite Adela to replace you...," the assistant said."Adela?"Gail was drinking coffee and writing the plan in Jessica's office. When Gail heard that, she stood up and said anxiously, "Adela has just made a comeback. Even though she becomes popular slightly, how can she replace Jess in the image or influence?""It is said that Adela's remuner
[It's because I think my acting skills are not worthy of your script.]Jessica replied seriously.Hawley became anxious and replied without punctuation. [Don't worry I will try my best to help you and won't urge you]Jessica paused and replied with a smile. [I haven't finished speaking. Hold on. Since you have waited for a long time, please give me some time if you don't mind. I would like to find an acting teacher and learn how to act. After I'm sure that I can play the role, I will join in your movie. How is it?]Recently, more films and TV dramas started inviting Jessica. Many of them had great investments and groups. Jessica obviously felt that the current situation was pushing her to change.It was impossible for her to reject all of them, but she couldn't shoot all the films or TV dramas with the attitude as if she was doing a guest appearance. She would better be prepared before she met the chances. If so, she would be more confident.Hawley paused. It took him some time t
The next afternoon, when it was time for Jessica to get off work, Hawley arrived at the appointed time.Jessica took him to the nearest restaurant to the TV station. She said with a smile, "It's not a high-end restaurant. Just order expensive dishes."Hawley also smiled, "Expensive dishes do not necessarily taste good!""Having said that, I would like to thank you. Expensive dishes can show my sincerity at least," Jessica said.Hawley put down the menu, looked at her and said seriously, "If you would like to thank me, how about consider my invitation seriously? I want to invite you to be the heroine in my first movie!"Hawley was sincere. He looked passionate and vigorous for his first movie. It was hard for Jessica to refuse."Have you drawn your inspiration in France?" She didn't refuse him directly but changed the topic.Hawley said seriously, "I have spent three years on the script. When I studied abroad, I wrote it with my best friend. I almost finish it recently. I believe
Griffin kept his promise.The next day after Jessica's return, Jakesville TV Station put the interview of GL's successor, Neil, on the air. Meanwhile, everyone received the email that announced Gail's promotion to senior editor.The directors in their team were all delighted. People from their sister teams also urged Gail to treat them to dinner. Gail agreed generously and decided to throw a party to celebrate her promotion in the evening. *After several rounds of wine, Gail was giddy with delight and tipsy. With a goblet in her hand, she sat beside Jessica and grinned. "Jess, I owe my promotion to you. I've racked my brains but still know not how to express my gratitude… How about I leave my paycheck to you?" Jessica couldn't help but giggle.She poked Gail's forehead. "Are you going to marry me?""Look, this is all that I can give. Then again, you're not short of money. Tell me what I should do."Jessica looked at Gail's tender, pursed lips and wrapped her arm around
At sea, the anxious Christian calmed down and was relieved finally. He took off his coat and wrapped her up tightly.She looked at him and asked, "Why did you come here?"Christian compressed his thin lips and reached out to smooth her hair beside her ears. It was a little messy because of the wind.Christian had arranged for someone to protect her since she pissed off GL's Neil in France. The nobles all knew that GL's Neil was malicious, especially for beautiful women.As soon as Christian's men reported to Christian that Jessica suddenly bought an air ticket and went abroad alone, Christian guessed that she was going to deal with Neil.Christian was afraid that Jessica would be unable to deal with Neil. He didn't have any time to care about other things and followed Jessica to come to France.Luckily, he arrived in time. Otherwise, even if Jessica dealt with Neil, she would be unable to deal with Jerome. Jerome was not a man to be trifled with."Don't take risks again! If you
As Jerome confronted him coldly, Christian's narrowed eyes slid out of focus for a second.Soon, he collected himself, and ferocity suppressed the gloom in his eyes. "Before I figure out the entire thing, I'll keep her out of harm's way! Even if someone tells her the truth one day, it has to be me and not you! You'd better stay away from her!" Jerome's face also turned gloomy. "I was not interested in her or those trivial matters in the past, but destiny guided me to meet her. Then I find that those matters are pretty interesting…And the more annoyed you are, the more interesting I find it… Besides, you stole my lines. The one who should stay away from her is you!" "Don't bother. This is between my wife and me," Christian declared his sovereignty once again.Jerome looked askance at Christian. His gloomy voice became huskier and more horrifying. "If she knew the truth, do you think she would still believe you?"Christian knitted his brows as he exhorted in a
"Christian?"Jessica spun around and did a double take, mixed delight and incredulity in her eyes.Christian made his way to her and took her by the hand. "You're still recovering. How could you run around like this?"Christian's voice was steely. Though he was speaking to Jessica, it was the man opposite her that his piercing eyes flashed at.At this moment, the bodyguards outside the cabin hurried inside all at once. One of them bowed to Jerome and explained apologetically, "Mr. Garan, he's brought some men here... We failed to stop them..."Jerome waved his hand testily and, restraining his annoyance, rose to his feet and looked at Christian. "Nice to see you again, Mr. Maddox." Though his words were a greeting, his face were rather tight."I heard only a few days ago that there's some turbulence going on in the Garan family. It surprises me Mr. Garan is still in the mood for partying," Christian said acidly."Oh, you're pretty well-informed, Mr. Maddox!" Jerome remarked with
"I'm just a nobody, and all I want is for the job to be done in a peaceful fashion. I have no reason to work against you on my own initiative unless you leave me no choice, don't you think?" Jessica said, her face bland.Having no alternative but to resign himself to accepting it, Neil said testily, "Fine! Get it over with!"A smile curled Jessica's lips as her beautiful eyes moved to the outline for the interview on the sofa. "Speak according to the outline and answer my every question. Here we go."Watching Neil obediently pick up the interview outline with resentment etched on his face, Jessica snickered and turned on her digital recorder.**Twenty minutes later, the interview came to a successful end.Having obtained what she wanted, Jessica operated the digital recorder for a moment and then stowed it in her handbag.Neil had had enough of it. He hurled the interview outline she'd given him to the floor and, springing to his feet testily, blustered, "I see any of those pho
Neil's eyes glittered with alarm at the sight of the picture on Jessica's phone, the corners of his mouth twitching in spite of himself.On the sofa he'd been sitting a moment ago sat a couple of female models. Neil glared over his left shoulder and then the right one at the girls and thundered, "Beat it!""Neil..."A charming girl, unwilling to leave, walked over and, holding his hand, said, "Where do you want us to go?""Get out of my sight! Now!" Neil stormed shiftily.His bawl brought all the girls trotting out helter-skelter...Jessica, taking advantage of the opportunity, took back her phone and unhurriedly put it into her handbag in the presence of Neil."Let's go somewhere else to talk," Neil said to Jessica, rising to his feet and leading the way for the door.Jessica remained where she was. With a smile that never reached her eyes, she said, "I thought you liked the lively atmosphere in this place."The corners of Neil's mouth twitched and he snapped, "It's not every
