Ch. 161..170
Chapter 161
Audrey didn't expect that during the brief moment when she stepped away to grab a toy, she would return to find Sunny being bullied.
She simply couldn't accept that Sunny who was carefully protected by her was being verbally abused so harshly Parrowing her brows, Audrey confronted the woman coldly "You have no shame, attacking a child like that? The wealthy woman g
woman glared back, shouting, "Your son stole my son's toy, and you're defepeling him? Let go of met
A flash of disgust crossed Audrey's eyes as she pushed the woman away and colifly said, "I believe my son. He wouldn't steal from anyone"
Sanny's eyes trembled slightly at her words, and be tightened his grip on the wooden rabbit in his palm.
"You say he wouldn't, so he wouldn't, hule" The woman looked Audry up and down with a smere, her voice dripping with mockery. "Everyone she how this bude brat not only stole the toy but aho pushed my son........... A sharp slap interrupted the woman's incessant insults, Audrey calmly shook her hand, her gaze as cold as winter ice,
The woman raised her hand in shock, chitching her stinging check, and spat, "You bitch! How dare you hit me? Without hesitation, she lunged at Audrey, teaching out to grab her hair. "Im going to tear your fare apart today. Scarlen White was determined to ruin Audrey's appearance. Audrey sidestepped her attempt, grabbing the woman's arm with one hand while pressing down on her shoulder with the other, performing a firm lock "Ah. Ouch." Scarlett's face turned pale as she felt her shoulder being painfully restramed, struggling to break free but finding it impossible.
Still unwilling to back down Scarlet continued to curse under her breath, "You bitch, no wonder your son is so uncivilized...ahr
Audrey pressed down harder, causing Scarlet to scream again in agony Looking down at her from above, Audrey's eyes were filled with a fierce. chill "If I hear you insult my son again, I'll deal with your son too."
The chubby boy, cowering nearby, was left in shock, taking a step back. "This woman is terrifying Scarlett's eyes flashed with humiliation as she gritted her teeth in anger.
ey released her grip. However, Scarlett quickly regained her composure and started shouting "Where are
Once Scarlett finally quieted down, Audrey i my bodyguards? Where are they
Two burly bodyguards, alerted by their employer's voice, quickly pushed their way through the crowd. Sunny instinctively stepped forward, spreading his arms to shield Audrey. Seeing this, a warm feeling surged in Audrey's heari How wonderful Sunny cares for me eve
me-even more than I expected, she wondered
Scarlen scotted disdainfully from behind "Hit them! Hit them hard!"
The bodyguards hesitated, looking between the fragile woman and the child before them, unsure of what to do.
Scarlett was furning, spitting out curses. "Are you guys quitting? Or are you too enamored with this bitch and want to protect her! I warn you that if you don't teach her a lesson right now, you're both fired!"
They better make this insufferable woman kneel and beg for mercy. Let's see if she dares to act so cocky again, Scarlett thought.
With their employer's orders ringing in their ears, the bodyguards had no choice. One of them, a tall man, clenched his fist and swust it straight at Sunny
Justas Audrey was about to scoop Sunny up and move aside, a gust of wind suddenly rushed past her.
Bang! The sound of a fist hitting flesh echoed above her head. The bodyguard aiming to hit Audrey and Sunny was sent sprawling to the ground with a single punch. The air seemed to freeze for a moment "Are you okay?" Alistair turned to check on Audrey and Sunny, concern etched on his face. Audrey shook her head gently.
The other bodyguard, seeing his partner go down, had his eyes change slightly, and he charged at Alistair Instinctively, Audrey covered Sunny's eyes, wanting to shield him from the violent scene unfolding before them As expected, the two bodyguards couldn't last even a minute against Alistair, both ending up on the ground, moaning in pain.
Scarlen stood by, dumbfounded, and kicked them in frustration. "Get up,
1. p. you useless fools! What good are you to me?"
Ignoring her, the bodyguards climbed to their feet and walked away, Scarlet's face darkened. The bodyguards are running away, and this man looks formidable. Should Lescape now she thought
Chapter 162
Alistair's deep-set eyes exuded an air of detachment and cold arrogance that sent chills down one's spine. His distinguished demeanor was not something just anyone could Hirin
Scarlet felt uneasy, biting her lip as she forced herself to act defenseless. "What You, a grown man, want to bully me and my son?"
A flash of mockery crossed Altair's gaze as he ordered in a deep voice, "Apologise to my wife and son"
Scarlett took a deep breath, stubbornly shouting, "Why should I apologize? Your son stode something from mine and even pushed him? Now you're ganging up on me, a woman with a boy? Let's get this straight. Who owes whom an apology" The onlookers weir entertained but reluctant to get involved in the dispute. Seeing no one responding, Scarlett crossed her arms defiantly and fired back. "111 only apologize if your son does first"
She assumed Alistair wouldn't resort to violence against her and added scornfully. How dare he steal from others at such a young age? What will be do when he grows up?"
Alistair ignored her, his intense gaze shifting to the chubby boy beside her. "What did he take from poid"
The boy, always quick to builly the weak, shrank back at the sight anything..

"What did you say? Scarlett snapped, shaking her son's shoulders violently. "He didn't take anything You just rold me he stole your toy!
"You Inir brai, are you too scared to speak up because he looks tought
gh! Be honest. There are plenty of people here to support you
The chubby boy, already feeling guilty, was further intimidated by Scarlett's frantic demeanor. He started to cry, his voice breaking. "Im sorry, Mommy! Ishouldn't have taken his bule rabbit... Scarlett was momentarily speechless, thinking, "How could I raise such a worthless and embarrassing child?
The spectators even let out snickers. Scarlett felt her dignity slipping away and yanked on her son's ear harshly, "Just wait until we get with you then"
home; III deal
She wanted to seize the moment and leave with Sunny, but Alistair blocked her path. You think you can just walk away without an apology?
Scarlett gritted her teeth and stomped her foot in anger. "It was just kids playing around? Why a
are you arguing with a child?
she clearly adopted the attitude that he couldn't do anything to her since she refused to apologize.
Alistair's eyes narrowed, exuding an indescribable sharpness. "If you don't apologize, you'll face the consequences"
"Are you threatening me?" Scarlett laughed, her tone condescending "Do you know who I am? My husband earns enough in a year to keep your whole family living comfortably for life
"I won't apologize today, and what can you do about it? Consequences? That's just laughable, you should take a moment to weigh your own worth."
Alistair merely watched her lose her mind with an unbothered expression. Just then, a male voice rang out from the back of the crowd. "Scarlett, why have you been gone so long just to buy a toy?" "Darling, you're finally here? Scarlett rushed over, clinging to his arm like a lifeline. "If you hadn't cone, they would've bullied us badly"
"Who dares to bully you?" The newcomer, sporting a beer belly and a designer suit that couldn't hide his rough edges, with slightly thinning hair and a booming voice, stepped forward.
Scarlet proudly straightened her back and pointed at Alistair's family of three. It's them. The man glanced at Alistair and instantly his expression shifted dramatically. "Mr. Hayes...
"Oh my God, what kind of luck is this? I never expected to encounter the infamous Mr. Hayes from Willowdale in this tiny amusement park, he thought
Alistair lazily lifted his eyelids, lus expression as cold as ice. Thomas White, however, was animated, excitedly stepping forward. "Mr. Hayes, I didn't expect to see you so soon again! Do you remember mel". "I don't remember," Alistair replied flatly
"Tin Thomas White, I work in architectural decoration. We met at the Willowdale gala last time..." he said. Thomas had spotted Alistair from afar. and he felt no right of approaching him.
Alistair impatiently lifted his eyes and said coolly, "There's no need for all talk. I'm busy. Have your wife apologize, and we can put this behind
The smile on Thomas's face instantly froze. What? Scarlett had the audacity to offend Mr. Hayes?' he thought.

jomas pressed.
Scarlett's eyes himed red witli jealousy. Thomas impatiently pushed her from behind, worried the might drag him down with her.
Feeling familied, Scarlet clenched her fisis, boril her head to Audrey and Sunny, and apologized before dragging the chubby boy away.
Thomas wapird to take this chance to get acquainted with Alistair, but Alistair didn't even spare him a glance and walked away holding Andrey's
hand
The three of them arrived at a cafe. As Alistair inserted a straw into the coffee and handed it to Audrey, he remembered to apologize. "Sorry for being late and making you feel uncomfortable!"
After buying the coffee, he worried that Audrey and Sunny might be hungry after all the playtime, so he went next door to get some pastries and cream puffs. He didn't expect to walk back into the scene from earlier. Audrey waved her hand dismissively. "We didn't feel uncomfortable she rephed softly.
She wasn't that fragile, and even if Alistair hadn't come, she wouldn't have let anyone bully her. Just as she was thinking this, a soft, squishy cream pull appeared in front of her. Turning her head, she met Sunny's round, beautiful eyes. Sunny stubbornly held the cream puff out toward her. Audrey paused for a moment, her eyes lighting up as she asked softly. "Sunny, is this for me?
Sunny nodded slightly. This surprised even Alistair. Sunny is actually willing to approach Audrey on his own!" he thought.
The earlier unpleasantness was washed away by this unexpected delight. Audrey beamed. Thank you, Sunny"
She bent down to take the cream paff, then grabbed another piece and offered it to Sunny. "Let's eat together, Sunny,"
Sunny obediently accepted it, cradling it in his small hands and taking a tiny bite, which made Audrey's eyes sparkle
Watching from the side, Alistair suddenly felt like an outsider, an inexplicable sadness welling up inside him Fortunately, Audrey finally remembered him and pushed a piece of cake toward him. "You should eat too. with joy
Alistair's furrowed brow finally relaxed. While he didn't receive the same treatment as Audrey's hand-feeding, at least be hadn't been forgotten.
Audrey could clearly feel Sunny's change in attitude toward her. He would take the initiative to hold her hand, follow her without negling excuses, and even wipe her sweat with a tissue, mimicking Alistair... During their time together, Audrey had noticed Sunny's progress. He was observing actively, mimicking adult behavior, and could remember sumple patterns.
As long as I keep intervening. Sunny will surely get better! Audrey saw hope and became even gentler with Sunny.
The family of three enjoyed afternoon tea before continuing to explore the amusement park. Alistair carried the big white goose he had won for Sunny"-
With his cool, distinguished demeanor, Alistair holding the fluffy toy attracted many curious glances. Yet, he didn't mind the attention, closely following Audrey
They played until evening and had dinner outside before driving home. On the way back. Audrey and Sunny fell asleep snuggled up in the back Alistair drove, his gaze softening as he looked at them in the rearview mirror. When they arrived at their apartment complex, neither of them had woken up Just as Alistair was about to open the car door to carry them inside, Audrey suddenly stirred awake
"Shh!" Audrey glanced at the sleeping Summy in her arms, signaling to Alistair, and carefully lifted Sunny out of the car. Alistair locked the car and softly said. "Let me take him. He's a bit heavy." Without a second thought, Audrey shook her head, "It's fine. I can handle it."
After a full day of fun, her bond with Sunny had visibly deepened, and she naturally didn't want to let him go.
Once in the children's room. Audrey gently helped Sunny take off his clothes and shoes to get him ready for bed. Sunny was sound asleep. Yet Audrey couldn't rest easy and chose to stay by his bedside. Feeling a bit jealous, Alistair stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "Darling, it's getting late. We should go to bed soon!"
le leaned in closer, whispering in her ear with his deep, magnetic voice that concealed a hint of longing, causing a faint blush to creep across Audrey's checks. Seizing the moment, Alistair leaned in and kissed her.
startled, Audrey instinctively glanced at Sunny to see if he was awake. Noticing he was still asleep, she prepared to leave with Alistair. But just as shie tood up, a little hand suddenly reached out and grabbed hers. "Mom... Mommy
Chapter 164
Sunny was not awake yet. His grip on Audrey's wrist was weak, and he gently hooked his arm around hers. However, his sleepy voice had a hint of grievance and fear.
Audrey's hear instantly tightened. She immediately squatted and gently patted Sunny's blanket. She comforted him gently, "Sunny, Mommy is here"
Sunny's expression gradually calmed down after being comforted and fell asleep soundly.
don't worry.
However, Audrey was still worried. She turned around and whispered to Alistair, "Do you mind sleeping alone tonight! I want to accompany
Sunny.
Alistair was silent. No matter how much he thought about it, he had guarded against his love rival and not this brat. He knew how to fight for favor an such a young age. What would happen in the future?" "But, Honey, he's asleep, Alistair mumbled unwillingly.
"What if he wakes up again in the middle of the night!" Audrey pushed him out without any explanation. Im worried. Go to sleep."
Before Alistair could speak, Audrey pushed him out of the room, and the door before him was closed mercilessly. Looking at the closed door, he sighed. Ever since the child came, his private world with Audrey was no longer private.
However, Alistair was happy. He had seen some changes in Sunny's behavior during this time. However, Alistair was the contrary. He would be unable to sleep that night. After all, he would be sleeping alone.
Forget it, I'll work overtime Alistair turned around and went to his study.
Audrey was about to participate in the comparty's talent show. He had to confirm a detailed plan soon to prevent her from being wronged in the
show.
At 10 o'clock. Alistair rubbed the back of his neck and turned off the computer with a blue light in front of him. He got up and went to the children's room. A small warm yellow desk lamp illuminated the room. Audrey lay beside Sunny. He was already asleep, but one of his hands was still on the blanket above his chest. Occasionally, he would subconsciously pat ir gently.
With a smile, Alistair gently walked over and tucked Alistair in. Then, he bent down and wanted to carry Audrey away. But at this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Audrey seemed to have heard the voice. She let out a soft moan and frowned slightly.
Afraid of waking her up, Alistair held his breath. He tiptoed and covered her with a blanket before covering his phone and leaving. The moment the door closed, his phone screen lit up.
was not a message bombardment, but a call from Logan. Alistair rubbed his temples and frowned before
As it turned out, the continuous vibration was not a mess picking up "What is it this time?"
On the other end, Logan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "Why is your voice so hoarse? Ah, I forgot that you're a married man. Am 1 disturbing you! Are you in the middle of a night session?"
"Are you looking for trouble? There was fierce pressure in Alistair's slow speech Perhaps he was disturbed.
Logan shivered and quickly explained, "I can't wait to call you because I have news about my Audrey!"
""What happened?"
Logan answered, "Half an hour ago, many posts on the Internet suddenly defamed her. But don't worry: I've got it under control. Her image is still
"Thanks" Alistair looked relieved.
"There's no need to be so polite between us. Oh right, has she been doing well...
Before Logan could finish speaking, Alistair hung up. Logan was speechless.
Chapter 165
After hanging up Í egan's call. Alistair legendinte Twitter, which he had not med even once in years. A hot topic was on the entertainment trending Most of its contrits were filled with unsightly suspicion and numors upon clicking
Jude1 1 didn't know that influencer was well-know

[We are: Speaking of Supergalactic Mol, I think Eliza should be the winner. She works much harder than Audie, and she has actual talent!

(That can't be No super daddy is willing to support a hideous woman I
Well, maybe she's good in bed. Which man these days doesn't want to have good sex!
Hahaha, you don't have to be so brutally honest)
Audise, a msing influencer, was suspected to have a sugar daddy, and the public opinion was getting intense.
Late at night was the peak time for netizens to surf. The topic gained lots of traffic, and most people did not even understand the context. They were led by buzzers and started cursing Audie.
In just a few minutes, the topic's popularity rose steadily, I was almost at the top of the hint of satisfaction flashed across her eyes. Everything is going according to plan!

If this heated discussion continues until tomorrow morning, the production team of Supergalactic Idol has no choice competition Thinking of this outcome, Eliza couldn't help but laugh out lood
At the same time, there was a huge commotion in the Hayes Group's public relations and legal department. They issued a lawyer's letter to Audrey's PR team demanding to bear the responsibility for damaging Audrey's reputation,
But before the team could digest what this matter had to do with the Hayes Group, they noticed the entertainment company under the Hayes Group had personally posted a statement supporting Audie. After the company posted, the Supergalactic production team followed closely behind.
[Audie was able to get this opportunity because her voice moved us. If anyone continues to spread rumors and slander the program's guests for no reason, they will bear legal responsibility!]]
Almost at the same time, those who had posted rumors about Audie received a lawyer's letter and were all prosecuted. Facing legal consequences, the buzzers were scared.
I can't believe it. How can Audic, an unknown influencer, mobilize the Hayes Group's legal department to fight a lawsuit for her?]
In an instant, everyone who had wronged Audie made public apology videos. Some also wrote a statement in their account, saying they were expressing their sincerest apology for accusing Audie
Many people apologized, and it became a trending topic. Some people even began promoting Audie's singing video, proving that Audie deserved the opportunity.
The tides had turned in half an hour. The public sentiment had turned towards Audie. Some people even mocked Eliza and said she was envious of Audic. Soon, they attacked Eliza's social media account.
Before Eliza could do anything, she received a call. The person on the phone shouted at her, "You're crazy. You've caused us fucking troublet"
Eliza lout her temper and retorted. "And you took the money but d have the cheek to blame me?"

"You still have the cheek to say that? You know what kind of person is barking her, yet you still deliberately let us expose her scandals. Right now, several of our accounts have been banned and we still have to face the risk of being sued by the Hayes Group. You have to bear this loss!"
Eliza was furious and shouted, "You're the one who can't do shit. Your loss is one of my business. Have fun at court? With that, she hung up. But afterward, several buzzers she paid called her.
As expected, they called to seek compensation from her. Eliza feared they would track her through her phone number. So, she pulled out the

Supergalactic idol was about to stast recording the next ibay, but Andrey was reluctant to leave her home. She had agreed to participate in this show before meeting Summy. She wouldn't have consented in the first place if she had met him prior When the family ate breakfast together. Audrey's reluctance and worry were written all over her face. Alistair noticed this and comforted her. "Don't worry. Do what you want to do. Til take care of Sunin:"
since Audrey had signed a contract with the production tram, it would be unwise to weel out. She could only comply. "Fortunately, the first episode only takes three days to shoot. Ill be back immediately afterward
"TII pick you up then" Alistair offered
oner of Sunny's mouth.
"Sound good." Audrey agreed as she raised her hand to wipe the corner
Summa was disappointed. Audrey had not been home for the past few days, and he had even eaten less breakfast. Audrey's heart ached as she comforted him softly. "Tonight, I show you my recording session and read stories, alright?" sunny was disappointed at first. But his appetite returned when he heard Audrey's promise.
After breakfast. Alistair packed Andrey's baggage. He and Sunny sent her to the recording studio together
On her way to the recording location. Andrey picked up her phone and prepared to understand the rules of the talent show. Although Supergalactic Idol was said to be a talent show, it was more inclined toward a variety show.
The entire program was broadcast live. The audience could witness the birth of a new girl group and support their idols by visiting the venue. However, tickets were expensive and hand to gel
The show's producer was the internationally renowned figure. Kieran Patel. With such a big scene and coupled with the Hayes Corporation's backing, it attracted countless media and fans on the first day of shooting. Even the number of viewers in the first broadcast exceeded 10 million.
30 female guests were invited to the show. Most of them were quite famous and influential people in the entertainment industry. However, only five people would debut by the end of the show. It was a cuntbiroat competition.
Regardless, Audrey did not come with the determination to form a team, so she did not care about making allies. She even watched the live
broadcast in the car.
On the first day of the premiere, there was no stage scene. The main camera of the live broadcast welcomed beauties of all kinds had already appeared one after another.
members into venue. Several
In this program, contestants needed to appear in order of popularity rating. Those who came first would have a lower popularity level than the next. They used the most popular contestants for the last. Their seat would be arranged at the back.
The comment section was filled with flattery and praise as members appeared one after another. Some celebrities, who others thought had long gone radio silent appeared in the audience's sights through this program. An exclusive interview segment was held for them Audrey paid full attention. She carefully memorized some of the questions the host would ask and pondered over her answer
As everyone paid attention to the beautiful and talented contestants, some people mentioned Audie in the live comment section. She was the only contestant with an influencer background
[Six people have already appeared. Why haven't I seen Audie yet?
It's so strange. Is she so famous that she's set to appear after those contestants!]
How could a short video blogger who doesn't even dare to show her face could participate? Guys, do you think she's having a panic attack!]
I guess so, she's always hiding behind her mask, after all. I think she feels inferior after witnessing other contestants' beauty:]
Audie had been in the limelight for the past two days, so she naturally attracted a lot of jealousy and hatred. The contestants' fans who had appeared before her also felt the arrangement was unreasonable. Some even criticized the production team The thought of her sharing a stage with my idol disgusts me. Who does she think she is?]
However, some people felt that there was something special about Audie and remained optimistic. Otherwise, the production team would not have made such a statement when her scandal leaked
[I pray for your wellbeing in case she appears last, Mate I
For a moment, the comments became a chaotic battle between fans. Everyone discussed intensely, and the popularity of the live stream kept rising
Chapter 167
The discussion in the live stream attracted much of the streamer's attention. They thought the production team used Audie to create hype, an underdog of the competition She was not qualified to participate in Supergalactic Idol at all, At the same time, Audrey was coaxing Sunny in the car. She did not want to be too high-profile and asked Alistair to park the car 500 meters from the studio. However, just as she was leaving the car, Simmy grabbed her clothes. At home. Sunny had agreed to let her go to work. However, when Audrey was about to leave, he couldn't bear to let her go. He did not say a word, only pursed his lips and looked at her with red eyes as if he was about to cry. Audrey's heart instantly softened. She sat back in her seat and raised her hand to hold Sunny's face. She said in a gentle voice, "Sunny, what wrong! Can't bear to part with Mommy!"
Sunny did not answer. He only tightened his grip on her clothes. Sering this, Audrey said patiently. "Didn't we agree? I will send you a video and read you a story tonight."
Sunny lowered his gaze. He was still reluctant..
Seeing Sunny's behavior. Audrey wanted to break the contract and not participate in the show's recording She planned to find another way to earn money to buy a house for her parents. However, the penalty for breaching the contract was not a small sum. Just as Audrey felt conflicted. Altair spoke, "Sunny, you're a man. Stop being so clingy!"
Sunny pursed his lips and ignored him, so Alistair added firmly. "If you disturb your Mom's work, I'll send you back to Grandpa and Grandma." Upon h
hearing this, Sunny instantly let go of Audrey's shirt. However, he looked even more aggrieved.
"Why are you scaring him?" Audrey glared at Alistair. She hugged Sunny and coaxed him for a long time, promising she Willowdale. Only then did Sunny calm down.
Afterward. Audrey handed Sunny to Alistair and prepared to leave the car.
Alistair opened the door and pretended to get out of the car. "Let me take you inside."
"No way Audrey was shocked.
"Why not?" Alistair rolled his eyes. "Are you ashamed of me?"
would not send him to
Looking at his disappointed face. Audrey also felt her reaction was too much. She quickly explained. "It's not that I'm ashamed of you. On the contrary, you're too good-looking and outstanding. You'll attract much attention. I don't want you to send me there. "Is that truly the case?" Alistair looked at her in disbelief.
Audrey nodded vigorously. Her doe eyes were filled with sincerity. It is. Why would I lie to you? But in all honesty, Alistair's face was okay. Not many people knew him. However, his car was too eye-catching
Audrey was clueless about how Alistair could afford it since the car was worth billions of dollars. However, she was told that the car wasn't worth that much. Alistair only modified it to look fancy.
Regardless, there were so many people at the recording venue that day. They might run into some car enthusiasts who would recognize the modification. If they knew Alistair through his car, it would cause a huge commotion.
She wasn't afraid of the attention but was worried it would affect Alistair. "I have so much dirt on me. I'm afraid that if someone recognizes you or your car, it will affect your company's image."
Alistair did not expect Audrey to consider such a thing. As his wife, she could live a more ostentatious life. It did not matter even if she relied on his identity to show off. But seeing how sensible she was, Alistair felt touched.
Seeing Alistair remain silent, Audrey did not know how to coax him. After hesitating, she leaned over and raised her hand to hold his face. She kissed him and said coquettishly. "Don't droop your face. Smile!"
Alistair was slightly stunned. Meanwhile, Audrey was still chattering softly. "Tm also thinking in the long term. If our relationship is exposed to the media, paparazzi will swarm me, and my words and actions will be criticized. I prefer not to live that life. So, please, let me walk by myself"
Audrey's beautiful eyes looked pure, making it impossible to argue back. Alistair was unconsciously bewitched. His voice was gentle. "Alright. Fl
Isten to you
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally coaxed him.

Audrey took the mask the had prepared beforehand and left. She put on her mask while walking calmly Alistair gave her this golden mark with fine dumonds embedded in le
The left eye became the main focus of the mask. On it were compleated flowers and butterflies. A flower branch wrapped in vines gently stretched out from the benom Three gold chains of different lengths hung from the bridge of the nose, extending to her earlobes Exquisite tassels hung After patting on her mask, Modery waved at Alistair through the window before leaving. But just as the turned around, the bumped into a short-haired girl in a leather jacker, black leather pants, and Martin boons. The girl was bare faced and had a dumond and in her left ear. She looked
Audrey was slightly stunned upon bumping into her. She could not help but take a few more glaners. The girl had noticed her too. She glanced at her, then at the car behind her before walking away. They headed in the ume direction. Perhaps the was a fellow contestant. Shaking her head, Audrey did not overthink and followed the girl. Meanwhile, Alistair and Sunny kept looking in the direction she left. They looked away after Audrey disappeared from their sight.
Alistair turned the steering wheel. He looked back at Sunny and asked, "Are you going home or to the office with me?"
sunny's round eyes stared straight at his lips. His face was tense and serious,
Seeing this. Alistair smirked. "What? Is it because she kissed me and not you! Are you jealous?"
Exposed Sunny pursed his lips even tighter and glared at him with intimidation. But Alistair grew cocky. "It's good that you're jealous. I haven't settled the score with you for making me sleep alone last night!"
Sunny was speechless, and Alistair found it interesting. He raised his hand to pinch his cheeks. "You have to learn to sleep by yourself in the future. You can't snatch my wife again, understand?"
Sunny took a step back and avoided his outstretched hand. Buj Alistair wasn't. focused on driving

It took some time to cor her husband and son. When Audrey arrived, about 27 of the 30 guests had already come to the stage. Only the last three did not appear
Audrey did not want to steal the limelight of this finale, so she walked to the red carpet in advance.
However, just as she arrived on the red carpet, a bodyguard with sunglasses blocked her path. He misunderstood her idenury and scolded, "Didn't I warn you? Fans are not allowed to walk this way. Just watch from the side. What business do you have to walk on the red carpet?"
Audrey frowned slightly. Even though he wore sunglasses, she could feel the deep disdain and contempt in his eyes
Audrey felt uncomfortable. But she tried to understand that the man was only doing his job,
She was about to explain that she was a contestant. But unexpectedly, the bodyguard pushed her. "Hurry up and leave. You'll be in trouble if you mess around"
Audrey was annoyed. As she was taking her guest invitation, a flashy red Maserati stopped at the end of the red carpet. The fans and media thought. a big star had arrived. Hence, they swarmed the Maserati. The bodyguards, who blocked Audrey, hurriedly rushed forward to maintain order and prevent the fans from approaching the car.
Audrey didn't want to get involved. After all, there were too many people, and many fans looked like bloodlust animals. They thought their idol had -arrived and squeezed forward with all their might
But when Audrey tried to leave, the was dragged by the crowd toward the car. The scene was in chaos. The bodyguards shouted at the top lungs. "Don't push, don't push""
"Fans, move aside. If there's an accident, everyone will be held responsible!"
of their
Unfortunately, the fans were in high spirits and could not hear what they said. They wanted to take this opportunity to see the celebrity they idolized up close. Hence, they squeezed forward, risking their lives. Meanwhile, the person in the luxury car was probably frightened by the crowd and refused to leave.
Seeing the situation was about to get out of control, the bodyguards pulled out their electric batons. If anyone dares to disobey our warning, don't blame us for being merciless!"
Seeing the electric baton, the fans gradually calmed down. Meanwhile, the bodyguard made way for the guest. "Everyone, don't push forward. Don't block the path of the media's interview. Most importantly, don't hinder the contestant from walking the red carpet. Spread out on both sides."
The fans slowly regained their rationality. They didn't want to appear unpleasant before their idol. So, they obediently moved to the sides and made a way.
However, the bodyguard still felt it was not enough. One of them went forward and pushed one of the fans who was walking slower. The fan was caught off guard and almost fell on the red carpet.
However, the bodyguard did not apologize but scolded rudely, "Hurry up, you fat pig. Don't you know that you're so fat that you're blocking the road? The guest is about to walk this path, but you move slower than a slug"
The fan was only about 20 years old. She was at the age where she cared about her appearance and had strong self-awareness. When she heard this. her eyes immediately turned red.
"Damn fat pig, why are you still standing there? If you don't leave, I'll kick you!" The bodyguard shouted

The bodyguard thought the young lady was easy to bully, so his insults were even more ear-
Audrey could not stand it anymore. She shielded the poor girl behind her and said coldly. "The production team hired you to maintain order, not for you to push and insult a visitor. Apologize Seeing Audrey stand up for the young lady, the surrounding fans who couldn't stand it also chimed in. "Yeah, you're being too much. How can you say that to others? Apologize quickly!"
The bodyguard's face stiffened. He shook off Audrey and said coldly. "What should I apologize for? Don't cause trouble for no reason and waste everyone's time. I'm doing this for the safety of the guests. Can you bear the consequences if you bump into a contestant? "All of you better know your place. If you still retain sonse self-awareness, move aside. Don't embarrass yourself here." His words grew more unpleasant, almost as if he scoliled the fans present.
Most of the fans were young girls. Although their faces were reid from anger, they couldn't fight head-on. To see their idol, they could only choose to swallow their grievances.
However, Audrey refused to let the bodyguard abuse his authority. Does the production tram know you're using your power to cause trouble?
Seeing Audrey remain aggressive, the bodyguard was irritated. He took a deep breath and ineered. "No, what do you mean! Are you going to make things difficult for me!" Audrey only looked at him coldly, so the bodyguard added, "I'm telling you to leave because you're walking on a red carpet. Do you have to pur such a big label on me!"
"He's such a scumbag. He was being disrespectful but acted as if he was the victim!"
Audrey felt disgusted, and her tone was cold. The production team asked you to maintain public order and not make things difficult for everyone. including visitors. Even if you only do your job, there's no need to fat-shame someone!" Hearing this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across the bodyguard's eyes. He said coldly. "This is how I normally work. Lady. Do you want to make me love this job because you're forbidden to walk on a red carper?"
"Cut the crap Your attitude alone makes you unqualified for this job: Audrey responded lightly. "Are you forgetting that these visitors make your (employer's business going? Your actions are attracting criticism for them. So, even if you love this job over this matter, you deserve it"
The fans originally wanted to move on. But they were impressed and touched when Audrey stood up for them. They were no longer afraid. They refused to let the bodyguard get away with his behavior and demanded his apology.
Seeing this, the bodyguard got anxious. His dury was to control the fans. But they were mad and refused to listen to him. He didn't know what would happen next
If word got out he would be laughed at by his peers. At the thought of this, the bodyguard glared at Audrey and decided to teach her a lesson. "Shut up. If you dare to bring these ignorant fellows to cause trouble again. I'll get someone to chase you all out immediately!" Audrey shrugged off his implicit threat and warning look.
Meanwhile, the fans feared that Audrey, who had stood up for them, would face consequences alone. So, one by one, they stood up for Audrey. "We paid for our ticket. What right do you have to kick us our?"
"You're just a bodyguard, not the owner of this place. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue by boasting your
"We only asked you to apologize for what you did wrong. Firstly, we didn't make things difficult for you. Secondly, we didn't compromise your work. You were the one who refused to face your mistake and still had the cheek to threaten us. Who do you think you are?" Being looked down upon by a group of girls made the bodyguard even more embarrassed. He immediately took out his baton and threatened. "If you continue to cause trouble, I'll chase you all our
At that moment, a calm male voice came not far away. "Who are you planning to chase our?"
His voice sounded familiar to the bodyguard. He looked at the source and saw a well-dressed man. His eyes were like torches, and his presence
mucted confidence and churm.
As soon as he saw the person, the bodyguard's attitude immediately became respectful. He nodded and bowed. "Mr. Patel, why are you here? It's Just a small conflict. Some people are causing trouble here. El chase them away and clear the area immediately. I won't delay the official matter."
"Mr. Patel Audrey's eyes flickered. Could this be the person in charge of the program who contacted her? So he's Kieran Patel"
"Some people are causing trouble?" Kieran's tone became serious. It was the most important day for his program. Anyone who tried to cause trouble had to be chased out
or this woman!"
The bodyguard nodded vigorously and pointed at Audrey's face. "Yes, this chaos wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for
Kieran's face darkened. His dignified gaze swept across the fans in front of him. But when his gaze passed by Audrey, he paused slightly. "Wait, why does that mask look so much like a private collection bought at an auction a few years ago! Could it be... Kieran's expression changed. Then, he asked Audrey. "Are you the short video blogger. Audie?"
Although she did not understand why Kieran was so enthusiastic, Audrey nodded honestly. "In the flesh."
Hearing her admit it, the bodyguard's expression changed. He didn't expect the girl before him to be the short video blogger the production team lad specially invited.

The b
bodyguard thought this matter would be over once he apologized, but he did not expect Kieran to say, "Our production team can't risk hiring a man like you. You're fired. Please take your things and leave
The bodyguard was filled with regret. Working as security in this event was an opportunity that many in the industry dreamed of. Not only were their jobs easy, but their salaries were also decent. The main job was to protect celebrities, However, because of his arrogance and superiority, he lost this opportunity. After today's incident spread, he might be unable to work as a bodyguard.
The bodyguard's eyes tumed red. He looked at Audrey and begged, "Miss Audie, I realized my mistake. Please, speak up for me and ask. Mr. Patel co give me another chancel"
However, Audrey said with a stone-cold face, "You're unqualified to be a security. Move.
The bodyguard was kicked off. Then, a few fans immediately surrounded Audrey and apologized.
I'm sorry. Audie. Previously, I followed the trend to defame you online. I didn't expect you to be so good.
"Audie, your voice is so beautiful. I believe you didn't use autotune while singing."
"Thank you" Audrey smiled and accepted the praise.

When Kieran heard this, he was even more certain of his guess. The woman before him was indeed Alistair's wife.
Meanwhile, the fans were shocked and instantly widened their eyes. 'She's married?'
Audrey had never thought of keeping her marriage a secret. However, it was inconvenient to reveal Alistair's identity, so she tactfully changed the Topic. "I should be entering soon. Aren't you going to watch?"
The fans did not leave. They continued surrounding her and whispered, "Audie, don't worry. We won't tell anyone about your marriage."
"Yes, we'll help you keep this a secret!"
The chubby girl, Denise, even said, "But you have to be careful with your words in the future. The entertainment industry will have a different dynamics. It's best to lay low. Otherwise, you'll be caught and criticized over trivial manners"
The women were considerate. Audrey felt warm in her heart. Her smile became sweeter, and her voice was soft. "Alright, I understand. Thank y
you.

As for the media and fans who clustered in front of the Maserati, they immediately became curious and left the car. They wanted to know Audie. the short video blogger who had stood up for a fan. Coupled with the person's reluctance to leave their luxury car, they grew impatient and chose to interview Kieran and Audrey.
In the car, Eliza was stunned as she watched the media leave. She paid a lot to borrow a luxury car because she wanted to make an unprecedented appearance and let everyone remember her name. But in the end, the media she had painstakingly attracted left before she could get out of the car.
