Chapter 517
The news of Lucian’s departure was a knock-out blow for those who had been clinging onto him as their ticket to
fame. Allison glanced at her phone. A text message was received ten minutes ago, announcing his sudden
departure due to work commitments.
Sadie was filled with regret. She was left without a patron now, and if she couldn’t get hold of Lucian, her future
would be uphill. Was she destined to be stuck at Epic Entertainment forever?
Kimberly glanced around the room. Disappointment was creeping in when she realized Lucian was nowhere to be
seen. Just moments ago, she had seen him from a distance. Could there truly have been a man so perfect in this
world?
Regrettably, he hadn’t even spared her a single glance.
On the stage, the announcement for this year’s Best Actor and Actress awards was underway.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Best Actor award went to Garrett.
The Best Actress-
When the host announced “Amaya,” there was a collective gasp. Kayleigh, Epic Entertainment’s top actress, had
missed her shot.
Tonight, Amaya was dressed in a fairy-tale themed gown. Her long hair cascaded in waves. She wore a radiant
smile, as if she had known all along, and made her way to the stage to deliver her acceptance speech.
The award ceremony was being broadcast live. The camera occasionally panned to Kayleigh in the audience. She
was dressed in a champagne-colored, figure-hugging, sequined gown that sparkled under the lights, every inch the
regal queen. There was no sign of disappointment or surprise on her face, only a polite smile. Her emotional control
was impeccable.
From Kayleigh’s perfect composure, one could hardly glean any gossip-worthy information.
After the award ceremony, Kayleigh and Amaya were interviewed in succession. The media was not about to let
any potential scoop slip away. When interviewing Kayleigh, they showed some deference due to her status as a top
actress, but they were still after a story.
“Kayleigh, could you recommend some films or shows that you’ve been watching recently?”
Kayleigh suggested a few recent movies she had enjoyed.

think?”
Kayleigh just smiled slightly. “I have seen it. It’s okay, but my taste is different from the audience. To be precise,
everyone’s aesthetic taste is different. I prefer the films I recommended earlier.” With that, she stood up and left.
The journalists exchanged glances. Wasn’t this a clear sign of disrespect towards Amaya? Movie stars always
seemed a cut above the rest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was now Amaya’s turn to be interviewed. She looked perfectly put-together. Her fairy-tale gown had made her
the center of attention, and the ethereal outfit softened her naturally striking looks.
She greeted the camera. “Good evening. I’m Amaya.”
The interviewer asked a few staridard questions, which Amaya answered one by one,
The interviewer then asked, “Amaya, now that you’ve won the Best Actress award, do you have any changes
planned for the roles you’ll take on in the future? You were competing against the senior actress Kayleigh for this
award. Did that put a lot of pressure on you?”
Amaya let out a rueful laugh. “Of course, it did. When I first entered the entertainment industry, it was Kayleigh’s
films I watched. I’ve seen and loved every single one of her films. Winning the Best Actress award, made me feel so
lucky, and will continue to work hard in the future.”
With these words and the expression on her face, Amaya had played the innocent card perfectly.
Especially when she mentioned feeling lucky and determined to work hard, her radiant and resolute smile
portrayed her as the ultimate innocent figure. If Kayleigh had seen this interview, she would probably be rolling her
eyes.
