Chapter 71 Sour Grape
Chapter 71 Sour Grape
“Yeah! I don’t give a dime if she is a carpet star overseas, but she even was not willing to leave a red
carpet for a school celebration. It is pathetic to see how she’s begging for attention. I advise you to
save your strength and go back home to raise some money for your white lotus!”
“It is nonsense! When did Jessica even occupy the red carpet? She was invited by the organizer!”
“Yeah, she is not involved in any of the works but has been invited year after year. And she was
shameless enough to run over like this.”
“Right, Victoria is different. She refuses to go unless she has a work that is shortlisted for an award.
Alas! Victoria was thin-skinned!”
“Although Jessica had no work making to the final, what is wrong with the organizer inviting her?”
“Yeah! A bunch of sour grapes! You went too far!”
There was a lot of noise over at the fan sector. Some of Jessica's fans almost cried out of anger.
On the red carpet, the smile on Jessica's face stiffened for a moment.
However, she pretended not to hear the fleers and restored her original look.
Seeing that Natalia did not intend to pay attention to her, she turned to Shawn and said, “Shawn, it's
cold here. Let's go and sit at the guest area.”
As she spoke, Jessica embraced her bare tender arms.
After several seconds, however, there was no response from Shawn.
She frowned slightly and looked up.
Shawn was staring at Natalia, as if he was amazed.
Jessica's face darkened immediately.
Her fingers tightened on her arms, and she was discontent and angry, as if the volcano in her heart
was about to erupt, but she still managed to put up with it.
She forced a smile and said, “Shawn, what are you looking at?”
At this moment, Shawn finally came to his senses.
“Nothing,” he said quickly.
A touch of sarcasm and hatred flashed across Jessica's eyes.
She took a deep breath, and looked back at Natalia with a soft smile on her face.
“My sister is pretty tonight, isn't she?”
Shawn was in a trance.
He was tempted to nod his head and admit that she was really beautiful.
She was even more beautiful than last time when she was in Jessica's birthday party.
Since she left him, she seemed like a pearl that was originally covered with dust and was now
gradually polished, becoming more and more dazzling.
It really made him unpleasant and felt sort of regretful!
However, Shawn shook his head. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
He withdrew his gaze, lowered his head to look at Jessica with a smile.
“Not as pretty as you.”
Jessica snorted gently.
“But everybody praises her! Shawn, you won't regret it, will you?”
In Shawn's eyes a dark light flashed quickly.
He shook his head and reached out to take Jessica's hand.
“How is that possible? Since I have chosen you, I will not regret it. Besides, even a beautiful face will
grow old one day. It is your character I like, and you are gentle, sensible, and noble.”
Jessica looked into his eyes.
A moment later, she smiled gently.
“I knew it. You love me the most.”
“Sure.”
Shawn tried to control his absentmindedness, and when he noticed that she kept her arms folded, he
took off his suit jacket.
“You must be cold! Come on, get dressed and let's go and sit inside.”
“Well, thank you, Shawn.”
Victoria and Natalia did not come down from the autograph wall until they had left together.
Victoria sneered, “It was inconvenient wearing a skirt, or I really want to go up and slap the b*tch! It's
disgusting to see them!”
Unlike Victoria, who was getting angry, Natalia seemed to be much calmer.
She took the dress and went to the guest area with Victoria.
As they were walking, she said, “As the saying goes, b*tches are just meant to be with their dogs. It is
good that they are together, lest they harm others!”
Victoria smiled suddenly, “You are right.”
They found their seats in the guest area. Fortunately, Jessica was far away from them, so they didn’t
have to have to be disgusted anymore. They were quite satisfied now.
Soon almost everyone who was supposed to come was there.
The lights on the stage were suddenly turned on. The host came to the stage and introduced the
history and culture of the school, as well as the schedule for the 70th anniversary celebration.
As one of the performers tonight, Victoria would play zither.
Not long after the party began, a staff member came over and asked her to get changed and be ready.
Natalia told her a few words and watched her leave with the staff.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw Jessica’s seat was empty. She should be in the backstage to get
ready as well.
Natalia lowered her eyes and then showed a smile.
“Next, let’s welcome graduate of the 65th class, Victoria Kaur. She will give us a zither performance –
the Phoenix.”
After the host finished announcing, Victoria walked up slowly with a zither in her arms.
A scream went up from the crowd.
There were many fans of “the most beautiful lady” present.
Victoria was good at playing musical instruments. Martin Kaur, the chairman of the Ambario
Prosperities, doted on his daughter and let her have anything she wanted in her life.
However, there were two things that he had been strict to his daughter, that is, her career and
relationship.
Whenever a male artist got involved in a rumor for scandal with Victoria, he basically disappeared in
the entertainment circle not long after.
Martin did not want his daughter to enter the entertainment circle, but he could not resist Victoria’s
insistence, so he had to make concession. However, he was always protecting her.
The name of the Ambario Prosperities could be seen in the investor section in all the movies and TV
series Victoria starred in.
Victoria was a good actress. She performed her roles well in the movies and was good at playing
zither. In addition, she also studied painting during her spare time.
As long as she did not lose her temper, she was like a perfect lady from a rich and noble family.
Because of this, Martin was very satisfied with his daughter.
Therefore, he felt no one deserved his daughter. Anyone who dared to approach Victoria would be
banned.
Victoria was indifferent to her father’s protective attitude.
Anyway ... she did not like those men who were trying to approach her.
And who she liked...
Who she liked didn’t want to approach her, either!
On the stage, Victoria gave a bitter smile. The strings seemed to be endowed with life and the song
she played was sad and touching.
‘Phoenix, phoenix, I have come to my homeland, after roaming over the sea just for a mate.’
In the corner, a young man with a grim face stood against the wall, staring silently at the stage.
He was wearing a black cap. His face was barely visible in the dim light, but his cold, wild aura was
obvious.
Someone accidentally bumped into him when they passed by, and hurriedly apologized.
“Sorry. Hey! Are you...”
