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
It was already half past six, and several cars were heading towards X Villa. Among them was Riley. Jessie said she would come after the event ended. After an hour's drive, the cars parked at X Villa, and everyone got out of the cars one after another. It was already evening, and it was cool. From the balcony of the viewing rooms, you could see the lights of thousands of households. The three kids had different levels of excitement on their faces. Christian and Eleanor were happy because this was the first time they had gone out so far since returning to the country, and they were staying overnight at the villa tonight. Christopher was happy because he could play with his parents and siblings. The whole family was neat and tidy, as if Mom and Dad had already reconciled. However, n
Bianca suddenly turned her head. If Riley's mention of Alessia and Dylan's good relationship was unintentional the first time, this was already the second time. A while back, there were rumors online about Alessia and Dylan being high school sweethearts, causing quite a stir. Riley couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Bringing it up now seemed like deliberate mischief. Bianca glared at Riley, but he just smiled gently and continued, "Ladies first, or should Mr. Frost go first?" Bianca's eyes almost popped out of her head. She and Jessie were playing this game with the purpose of setting her brother up with her sister-in-law. With Riley's attitude, it seemed like he wanted to pair her sister-in-law with Dylan. How could that be allowed! Bianca was angry, but she had to abide by the rules of the game. Dylan, who outwardly app
