Free Web NovelChapter 785: Chapter 775: Openly Making a Scene
Jim Lowell: "...Miss Thorne, you willingly stepped aside. It’s only natural for an artist under my company to take the spot. Why should I thank you now?"
"Isn’t it necessary?" Melody Thorne chuckled lightly, her expression innocent. "Well, it seems I was just being overly sentimental giving this title to an artist from your company."
"Who told you to give it up?" A woman on stage couldn’t help grabbing the microphone and yelled at the audience below.
After the shout, there was complete silence below.
"Are you the one who finally took the throne I relinquished?" Melody Thorne looked her up and down, her expression was hard to describe. Everyone could see very clearly—she was obviously disdainful!
The reporters lost interest in interviewing that woman instantly.
Being both top-tier stars and among the four "young blossoms," when placed in the same banquet setting, the gap was glaring. Even standing below the stage, Melody Thorne’s brilliance couldn’t be concealed.
"Shouldn’t it be me?" That woman was already losing her composure.
Melody Thorne withdrew her gaze and casually replied, "Hmm, yes, it’s you."
Maeve Archer was fuming with rage, and could only act coy towards Jim Lowell below the stage, hoping to regain some face.
"Actually, she’s not that bad," Nina King suddenly spoke, "It’s just that she’s a bit shorter than you, her legs are a bit thicker, and her makeup is a bit heavier. Other than that, she’s quite presentable."
"You!"
"Oh, and her mouth is a bit crooked!"
With every comment from Nina King, the reporters’ gazes followed, confirming the truth, making people wonder how she even entered the entertainment industry.
Maeve Archer nearly stormed off the stage to fight Nina King, and the angrier she got, the worse her complexion became, while the reporters captured that moment.
Everyone with clear eyes chose to watch coldly; this was an open attempt to create a scene.
The only confusion was why Melody Thorne, after giving up the throne, came back to cause a stir.
And the attitude of the tall, handsome man beside her only made people twitch at the corner of their mouths, while many women were envious.
Jared Quinn’s attitude was one of indulgence, looking at the little woman beside him with a pampering gaze that could almost drip with affection. Whatever Melody Thorne wanted to do, she was free to do so. Even if she asked for the stars in the sky, he would help her get them immediately.
"Miss Thorne, no matter what your purpose is for being here today, could we have a private detailed talk after the banquet?" Jim Lowell tried to suppress his anger, wanting to lash out but was wary of the man beside her.
"Of course, but since I’m here today, I intend to give you a generous gift, Mr. Lowell."
Melody Thorne was obviously smiling, but it sent a chill down people’s spines.
Thinking of the grand gesture she made him at the bar yesterday, Jim Lowell’s plump body couldn’t help but shudder. "N-no need, we can’t accept Miss Thorne’s grand gift."
"If I don’t give a gift, wouldn’t that imply that I, Melody Thorne, don’t know manners?"
"No, no, you understand, you understand, it’s us who are lacking," Jim Lowell just wanted to get rid of this troublemaker.
"But I must give this generous gift," Melody Thorne clapped her hands toward the door.
Harold Chapman walked into the banquet, followed by two rows of soldiers.
"Major Chapman?"
"Why is he here?"
