“In such a desperate circumstance, no one can remain as calm as Anna. Even if you were her, you
would have remained proud and left France. I had prepared to take her back to China at any time.”
“But she didn’t give up. Instead, she tried hard to contact the UNIC.”
“Even I was touched when hearing her conversation with Johnson over the phone. If I were the director,
I would have chosen her as the spokesperson, as well!”
Serena listened to him in silence.
She seemed to relieve the pain, which lingered in her heart, trying to fathom what she would do if she
was the competitor.
Serena picked up the wine bottle and gulped crazily.
“Actually, you value your career more than anyone else. He doesn’t deserve to control your life.” Rick
added, not stopping her from drinking.
Serena put down the bottle, downcast.
“Your silence and retirement won’t protect your family. Instead, everyone will worry about you; those
evil people will judge you brazenly. Since the Dahlia discovered you, how many efforts have been put
on you? Your fans love you and support you... Can you forget all of them?”
“That’s what Anna asked to tell you. No matter how the world judges you, you’re Serena, always!”
“That man thought he’s your weakness, thus condemning you brazenly and cajoling everyone into
besieging you. What about you? You want to sacrifice all your life for him?”
Hearing that, Serena suddenly burst into crying.
Anna was right. She was too weak, reluctant to fight against him, thus hurting herself and those who
cared about her again and again!
Rick walked over, patted her back, and gave her comfort.
When she was tired and stopped crying, he whispered, “The Dahlia will never give up on you, as long
as you don’t give up.”
Serena dissolved into laughter with determination. “Director, what should I do now?”
Rick saw her energetic look and heaved a long sigh of relief. “Yes! That’s what I want to hear. You just
take a good rest and tell the truth at the press conference tomorrow. I’ll handle the rest.”
Serena nodded seriously. “Okay.”
Hearing that word, Rick was finally relieved, as he knew that Serena had stepped out of the pain.
Humans would become fearless and fight when there was no way out.
...
Anna was the first to hear the news. She suddenly gained momentum and thus performed perfectly
during the final shooting!
She released impeccable demeanor and charm, overshadowing other artists directly.
Besides, her perfect performance impressed them deeply.
After work, Anna pulled Jack excitedly. “Let’s go back to China!”
“Take more rest?”
“I want to go back and cheer for her.”
Jack surrendered and instantly booked return tickets. After parting with Johnson, he took Anna and
Lucy to the airport.
However, it was a different return.
They showed up at the airport in a high-profile manner, not avoiding reporters anymore or taking
different flights.
Jack saw Anna look around subconsciously and whispered, “Why are you so nervous? You won’t look
good in photos if paparazzi are around.”
“We...”
Anna broke off and stared at the man in front of her blankly.
“Miss Anna, I’m your agent now. Normally, we walk together.” Jack reached out to pull her closer, not
afraid of being shot at all.
Anna watched travelers coming and going without reporters among them, relieved.
She moved a few steps forward confidently, while Jack and Lucy were following behind. They all
entered the departure lounge openly.
They weren’t afraid of paparazzi!
When noticing Anna and Jack, her fans screamed and rushed over for an autograph. “Miss Anna, why
do you travel with Mr. Jack?”
Anna blinked and responded with a frank smile, “We’re working together.”
One fan asked cautiously again, “Then may I ask for his autograph?”
It was a God-given chance to meet the CEO of the Dahlia!
His intense eyes fixed on Anna, but she just put on the sunglasses quietly without any intention to help
him.
Jack understood, reluctantly took the pen, and signed his name neatly. After that, he looked at Anna,
implying that he had followed her order.
The fans left happily.
On the other hand, Anna moved forward and talked to Jack, “You’d better wear the sunglasses and a
hat...”
Though his charm couldn’t be covered, it was better to return in disguise.
Jack stared at her naughty smile and nodded. After they got on the plane one by one, Anna leaned on
the table and smiled at him.
For her, it was the most ordinary and rarest happiness to show up at the airport with him and boarded
together.
“What should we do next, my agent?”
“We’ll attend the Angel Star Award Ceremony as guests.”
Anna blinked her eyes. The Angel Star Award Ceremony was held annually. Many influential celebrities
would show up that night. Before the scandal, Serena would certainly be the center of attention tonight.
However, her current situation was the problem.
There were two reasons why Jack let Anna attend it. First, she could experience a celebrity-studded
presentation in person. Second, she could cheer for Serena.
Most importantly, he would announce his agent identity that night to boost her popularity.
Jack could always come up with a fully thought-out plan.
Anna held his arm with a smile and rested her head on it. “Okay, I’ll follow you.”
Jack sensed the tiredness in her words, covering her with a blanket. “Get a grip. Just take a good rest.
You’ve got my back.”
He would try his best to shelter Anna.
The domestic media kept focusing on Serena. When the Dahlia announced that a press conference
would be held, they paid attention to it, not noticing Anna and Jack returned to China together.
Anna heard and read all kinds of far-fetched comments about Serena.
“She had raised that man for such a long time. Probably they gambled and took drugs together!”
“An international star? She’s just a bitch!”
“Apart from doing backroom deals, she still aborted a baby for him. DIRTY.”
