Jessie shook her head helplessly. "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Al specifically said that she doesn't want to be disturbed before the show starts. If you want to meet Al, you can come over on the day of the big show."
Talented people always have some quirks in life, and Ava thought about it and didn't force it anymore. She agreed, "Okay, then I'll wait until the day of the big show."
"Thank you for understanding, Auntie," Jessie said. She suddenly thought that if her aunt knew that the famous Al was actually the daughter she treated indifferently, what kind of expression would she have?
However, this was also a chance she was giving her aunt. Let her aunt see clearly in advance that her cousin wasn't what they thought she was—a useless divorced woman from the countryside with two children. By dispelling any thoughts of using her cousin, she could repair the relationship between mother and dau
Dominic looked down at her from above, and in his pitch-black eyes were evident—disgust toward her. Dominic was very resistant to her. She even had the illusion that he would come down and drive her away in the next moment. Dominic had always disliked her. She knew that. But since moving back to Forest Hill and after the three little troublemakers caused chaos from time to time, at least on the surface, Dominic seemed to be able to treat her with equanimity. His sudden change in attitude was probably due to Riley mentioning Grandfather, and he redirected his anger towards her! Alessia's eyes flickered as she quickly analyzed the reason for Dominic's change in attitude. She even remembered what Bianca had mentioned a few days ago—that there was a rift between Dominic and their grandmother. Perhaps the reason why Dominic couldn't accept her and disl
The backstage was crowded and noisy. Although Ava didn't hear what Jessie and the others were saying, she noticed the lollipops that Christian and Eleanor had given out. Ava kept a straight face, but inside, she felt humiliated. Giving out only two lollipops as a gift seemed too childish. After her initial anger subsided, she realized something. Alessia came here to let the two kids act as junior models. Perhaps this was the kids' first time experiencing such a big event, and Jessie knew how to manage it, using the junior models to gain favor. But what if the kids didn't have any experience with runway shows and ended up ruining the entire show? Despite having a thousand grievances in her heart, Ava, being seasoned, didn't show the slightest hint of it. She looked at Alessia with a kind smile. "Sia, you're here. I actually w
Christopher's tone was somewhat spoiled, "Auntie, we're here to support Aunt Jessie. There's no need to argue with unrelated people." Unrelated people! What a clever adjective to use. Bianca immediately stopped arguing. Well, her brother had no interest in Sisca. What was she fighting for! Moreover, today's show was important to Jessie. She couldn't ruin it. Bianca's face immediately brightened. Sisca's face, on the other hand, turned ugly. The onlookers' gazes became subtle. When Young Master Carter called Sisca an unrelated person, it proved that Sisca was not his birth mother. With Bianca teaming up with Young Master Carter to confront Sisca, and Dominic not saying a word, it was evident that Sisca wasn't that important to him. Perhaps the lying scandal
"Lily, are you trying to give everyone a treat, or are you trying to benefit yourself? Is my show not exciting enough to keep people alert?" Jessie pretended to be displeased, bantering with the host. "Haha, it seems that my little idea can't escape your sharp eyes. The show is indeed exciting, but I want to see something even more exciting," the host replied, turning to the audience to stir up the atmosphere. "Isn't that right, everyone?" There wasn't much response from the audience because Ava had said that the mysterious guest was just a gimmick, so people weren't interested in any surprises midway through the event. Although the atmosphere wasn't lifted, the event still had to continue. Jessie generously said, "Okay, since everyone else wants a surprise, I must arrange it." The host continued, "So, Miss Jessie, what exactly is our surprise?" J
"What do you mean by that?" Immediately, supporters of Al also came out to retort. One fan said, "It means exactly what it says. Al has never shown her face in public before. This woman who popped out of nowhere, who knows if she's the real Al or a fake one." "Just now, we also heard what Miss Ava said. Who knows if it's Jessie who's afraid of the mystery guest being exposed and offending someone, so she deliberately brought out a fake Al to shut everyone up. Anyway, Al has always been indifferent to fame and fortune. Even if Al knows she's being impersonated, she probably wouldn't bother!" Once this fan spoke, the supporters of Al fell silent instantly because what she said did make some sense. Moreover, just before Al came on stage, Ava seemed to have made a gesture of obstruction. For a moment, these supporters couldn't make up their minds. On
Christopher felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and said, "Even if you glare at me, Dad, I'll still tell my sister." Regardless, he decided to go all out to get his dad to interact with Mommy! Dominic thought of his daughter's big watery eyes and gritted his teeth. This brat seemed to be really itching for trouble. Indeed, daughters were better. Daughters were Daddy's little cotton jackets. Dominic took a deep breath and raised his hand amid Bianca's shocked gaze. Hearing the conversation, Sisca's eyeballs were about to fall out. At the same time, she had another question in her mind: who was the sister Christopher mentioned? Sisca didn't know at this moment that her question wouldn't remain unanswered for long; someone would soon provide an answer. On stage, Jessie looked at the many raised hands b
A snow-white suit adorned with silver sequins, resembling snowflakes falling in winter. Several elegant and flowing belts around the waist, neatly cut. This outfit was neither overly intricate nor dull; everything was just right, perfectly complementing Dylan's facial features and body proportions. At this moment, almost everyone held their breath, their gazes fixed on Dylan's every step on the runway. Dylan walked back and forth on the runway twice, finally settling beside Alessia. At this moment, thunderous applause erupted, with everyone deeply impressed by Alessia's design talent. In just twenty short minutes, she completed the ‘winter’ theme, a task that seemed almost impossible, and she did it exceptionally well. Even Ava, who always maintained a critical attitude, couldn't find any faults to nitpick at this moment. Sh
Alessia didn't go back to the front stage but stayed backstage, watching. The two little ones had participated in big shows abroad before, so now, when they stepped onto the stage and started strutting their model walks, they exuded a full presence. Christian was lively and cute. Even when he reached the middle of the stage, he didn't forget to blow kisses and send out heart shapes, just as he said, captivating the audience below. Eleanor, on the other hand, was relatively shy, but her unique sweet temperament and adorable appearance also won the hearts of many people. "Wow!! Elle is so obedient and adorable! Truly my niece! Chris is not bad either, although a bit exaggerated, he's quite cute," Bianca, sitting in the audience, cheered as if it were New Year's. For the first time, Dominic watched his son and daughter's performance, and his heart melted. The corners of hi
