Chapter 271 Act Both Onstage and Offstage

Meredith merely gave a faint smile. “He’s not from the entertainment industry, so I can’t say too much. Please ask some other questions instead.”

Since she declined to respond to this question, the reporters could only ask indirectly, but Meredith was no fool, so she didn’t take their bait so easily.

Jude was also interviewed briefly. She was merely someone who was in the running, so she probably wouldn’t have been interviewed if it weren’t for the fact that she was the most anticipated winner this time. When she went backstage to rest, she happened to bump into Meredith who was returning in high spirits.

The moment Meredith spotted Jude, she walked up to her and hugged her. “Jude, although I won the award, I still think that this award belongs to you.”

“There are no reporters here, so quit the act,” Jude sneered.

This had embarrassment inundating Meredith, and she chuckled awkwardly. However, she didn’t dare say anything too unpleasant out of fear that reporters might have sneaked in to snap photos.

“I feel tired on your behalf, having to act both onstage and offstage.” At this precise moment, Jude’s cell phone dinged with a message from the young man, Wyatt: ‘While you didn’t win the award this time, you’re still the best actress in my heart! There’s none other like you!’ He must have watched the live broadcast. She then walked away as she replied to the message.

Meredith cast her a sidelong glance. At this precise moment, Landy walked over. “That was a close call! I was scared, terrified that the best actress would have fallen to Jude Knight.”

Only when they were in the car did they dare discuss Jude in private. “Landy, should we dig up some dirt on Jude Knight? I’m starting to feel that she’s a threat.”

“Indeed. Her public persona is excellent—cold and aloof, so it’s easy to gain a ton of diehard fans. If she wants attention in the future, a few simple words will be enough to propel her to the top search queries. Fortunately, she isn’t a fan of variety shows, else her popularity would’ve long since gone through the roof. I’ll dig up some dirt on her. Her acting skills are good, so her threat to you is too great. We can’t allow her to get popular.”

In the next instance, Landy turned to Meredith and hugged her lightly. “No matter what, God still cares for you. It’s truly lucky that you won the award this time!”

As Meredith gazed at her shimmering gold trophy, she couldn’t wait to share the news with Pierre. I wonder if he watched the live broadcast and heard what I said. Anyhow, it doesn’t matter if he didn’t see it today. After all, my acceptance speech will probably remain on the top search queries for several days. “Landy, I want—”

“Alright, I know you want to share the news with President Fowler and celebrate with him, so I’ll give you some time off. However, I can only give you two days at most since we still have a lot of important matters to attend to next!”

Meredith nodded gratefully. She immediately sent a message to Pierre and snapped a selfie of herself holding the trophy for the Best Actress Award. Nonetheless, she didn’t dare appear too happy. She pondered for a moment before composing a message to him: ‘I won the award, Pierre.

In the past, Jamie always said that he wanted to play with my trophies, but I felt that he was too young and feared that he’d smash them, so I never allowed him to do so. I truly regret it now.

I want to give this trophy to him. Let’s go and visit him together at the cemetery, okay?’ She initially wanted to celebrate with him but changed her wording in the end.

Very quickly, she received a reply from him: ‘Okay.’ When she received the reply, she was so ecstatic that she almost jumped for joy. After all, she’d even braced herself for the possibility of him not replying since he was always so busy that she sometimes had to wait several days for a reply from him. This time, however, he replied within seconds!Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
