Chapter 26

Although it was just a simple sentence, it moved these two fans to tears.

“Ahh, Simone Milton, we love you! You must take care of yourself and keep fighting!”

“Simone is the best. Be sure to take good care of yourself!”

The two fans were even more excited, although their interaction with Simone Milton was very brief, lasting only a dozen seconds or so.

But for these two fans, it seems like a relationship that will last forever, something they can boast about for a lifetime.

Simone Milton smiled happily. After nodding at her two fans, she walked forward once again.

By sheer coincidence, just as she stepped forward, Katie Adams and Alberta Arthur came up behind her. Both of them were dressed very elegantly today, in black and white outfits that made them look perfect together.

When Simone Milton reached the host, she turned around and started chatting with him. By chance, her gaze met that of Alberta Arthur, who was standing behind her.

Looking at Simone Milton, who was chatting happily with the host not far ahead, looking graceful and sophisticated, Alberta Arthur was momentarily stunned, as if unable to recognize who that woman really was.

Such a dazzlingly beautiful woman seemed nothing like the crazy and paranoid Simone Milton from his memories.

Albert Arthur couldn’t deny that he was deeply attracted by Simone Milton, who completely overturned his previous impressions of her.

To the point that he completely failed to notice how ugly Katie Adams’ expression was at that moment.

To be honest, Katie Adams’ outfit today wasn’t bad at all. In fact, she’d found a dress that perfectly covered up every flaw in her appearance.

This dress made Katie Adams appear delicate and petite. But such delicacy seemed like a sign of pettiness in comparison to Simone Milton.

It’s like someone gave her a harsh slap, telling her that no matter how much she tried to dress up, she could never compare to Simone Milton.

Even Alberta Arthur couldn’t help but be attracted to that person. How could Katie Adams possibly bear this? She was very sad, but she couldn’t take her anger and sorrow out on Alberta Arthur.

Well, to put it simply, the root of the problem lies with Simone Milton. After all, it was Simone Milton who caused all this suffering. She must take revenge on Simone Milton to relieve her hatred.

With such thoughts in mind, Katie Adams’s face once again showed its usual smile. She put her arm around Alberta Arthur affectionately and said with a laugh, “Come on, Alberta. No matter how nicely Miss Milton is dressed today, you can’t be rude like that!”

Hearing this, Alberta Arthur lowered her gaze, her smile somewhat forced. She turned her attention to Katie Adams, who was beside her.

He leaned in closely, gave Katie Adams’ nose a gentle tickle, and said with a smile, “I can’t believe it! Our Snowy girl turns out to be a real little jealous one after all!”

“Ugh, how am I supposed to resist you looking like this?” Katie Adams said shyly, glancing at Simone Milton out of the corner of her eye.

The two of them openly showed their affection in front of the media. It’s easy to imagine what people would say online after the press release was released.

This is exactly what Katie Adams has always dreamed of. Before she and Alberta Arthur are completely together and officially married, she will definitely do everything in her power to make their relationship known to everyone.

Similarly, whenever Simone Milton tried to get closer to Alberta Arthur, she was criticized by others. Past events have shown that such actions were actually quite prescient.

But in reality, it wasn’t just Katie Adams who glanced at Simone Milton out of the corner of her eye. Alberta Arthur also couldn’t help but steal glances at Simone Milton, as if she wanted to see how Simone would react.

What could Simone Milton possibly do? She had already exchanged pleasantries with the host and signed her name on the autograph wall.

She didn’t notice anything that happened behind her at all. She simply entered the venue with complete composure.

Albert Arthur realized this, and he felt deep regret about it.

Although he really didn’t want to admit it, everything around him clearly showed that Simone Milton truly no longer needed him.

This filled him with melancholy and self-reproach. He clearly already had such a wonderful girlfriend, yet he couldn’t stop thinking about Simone Milton. He was truly terrible.

I have no idea what kind of “Simone Milton” exists in Alberta Arthur’s mind. At this moment, Simone Milton enters the venue and, under the director’s guidance, finds her seat.

Her seat was right next to the director and the lead actors, and it was also in the front row. To be honest, such seating arrangements were quite awkward.

Simone Milton didn’t want to have any more contact with Katie Adams and her partner. So, she wanted to switch seats with someone else. Unfortunately, the seating arrangements had already been fixed and couldn’t be changed.

Even though she was reluctant to do so, Simone Milton had no choice but to sit down, pinching her nose the whole time.

She couldn’t help but think: Well, if it comes to it, I’ll just ignore those two people altogether!

But her idea is not bad at all. The problem is that Katie Adams herself isn’t willing to cooperate.

When Katie Adams and Alberta Arthur entered the venue and saw Simone Milton sitting so close to their seats, their reactions were different. But at least both managed to maintain a seemingly peaceful demeanor.

Sitting next to Simone Milton, Katie Adams forced a smile and congratulated her, “Congratulations, Miss Milton! I hear you’re going to reap a great reward this time! Let me offer my congratulations here first!”

“Miss Wen, you’re too kind. In fact, I’m already very happy to be here as a candidate for this award! After all, it proves that our TV dramas have been a great success. That’s certainly something to be happy about.” Simone Milton answered impeccably, without revealing any information that shouldn’t be disclosed.

What she said was simply a habit from her past life. Anyway, in a banquet like this, it’s better to be cautious with what one says, so as not to give those with ulterior motives any reason to exploit the situation. That would be unfortunate.

“That’s right, it’s definitely something to be happy about. If I could win even just one of these awards here, I’d be overjoyed.” Seeing that Simone Milton wasn’t responding, Katie Adams awkwardly ended the conversation.

At this moment, the entire venue was practically filled with people. The lights suddenly dimmed, and as the host stepped forward from behind the curtain, it marked the official beginning of the Hundred Flowers Award ceremony.

“…Now, let’s invite the big screen to announce the nominees for Best Actress…” After saying all that, the host smiled and asked everyone to look at the big screen.

Simone Milton instinctively glanced at the big screen. Sure enough, she saw herself and several other actors performing in the footage on the screen.

When Simone Milton saw who the other actors who also made it to the list for Best Supporting Actress were, her anxious heart relaxed a little.

The other actors who made it to the final round for Best Supporting Actress aren’t necessarily bad actors. It’s just that, compared to the footage of Simone Milton’s performance, their performances were much inferior.

Although it can’t be said that one is completely different from the other, it’s undeniable that Simone Milton’s performance is far more endearing.

Although she had already been informed in advance that she was likely to win this award, Simone Milton’s heart still skipped a beat at the moment when the result was about to be announced.

When the host announced the answer to the riddle, Simone Milton was momentarily stunned. But she quickly regained her composure, her gaze once again filled with determination.

It’s precisely for this reason that we can hear the host repeating the list of winners once again: “The winner of the Best Supporting Actress award is… Donna Walpole, Walpole!”

As soon as this news came out, it felt like Simone Milton’s head had been struck hard, leaving her completely in disbelief.

But Donna Walpole, who also happened to be at this event, wore a smug and triumphant smile, as if this outcome had been entirely within her expectations.

Donna Walpole stood up, walked onto the stage with a graceful smile. She took the trophy from the host’s hands and said to everyone in a cheerful tone:

“To be honest, I really wasn’t expecting to win an award like this! But I also feel that I truly deserve it. Although my character didn’t have much screen time, they were still a crucial part of the story. So…”

In the audience, the actors who heard such remarks, no matter what they were thinking, at least on the surface, showed kind smiles.

Katie Adams did the same, offering a kind smile. But while smiling, she couldn’t help but steal a glance at Simone Milton.

She wanted to see whether Simone Milton was greatly disappointed by the different outcomes.

Actually, long before this, she had already learned through internal information that something might change regarding Simone Milton’s award this time. So, in essence, she was simply watching the situation with an amused attitude.

To her great disappointment, although Simone Milton didn’t win the award, her expression remained far too calm. She didn’t seem like someone who had just gone through extreme ups and downs.

Is she really that calm? Or is it just an act of composure, while she’s actually filled with hatred? Katie Adams doesn’t know what Simone Milton is really thinking right now, but she guesses that Simone might become very angry soon.

After all, Simone Milton was a better actress than her, yet she lost an award that should have been hers. But she will soon win the award for Best Actress.

Just thinking about it, such a stark contrast made her feel excited. Although it might sound clichéd, she was willing to try anything that could stir up a reaction from Simone Milton.

Anyway, what’s the harm in giving it a try? Why not do it?

That’s what Katie Adams herself thinks.

After the awards for Best Supporting Actress are announced, it won’t be long before the competition for Best Actress begins.

Along with Katie Adams, there were two other veteran actors competing for the Best Actress award. To be honest, this competition put some pressure on Katie Adams.

Before she could even think about it, Simone Milton, who was so certain of winning, lost the award. Katie Adams suddenly felt nervous. Could she really defeat all these more experienced competitors and win the crown?

With these thoughts in mind, Katie Adams heard the host revealing the secrets on stage.

“The winner of the Best Actress award at the Fifth Hundred Flowers Awards is…” The host deliberately kept the audience in suspense before revealing the answer with a mysterious smile.

“Congratulations, Katie Adams! You’ve won the Best Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards. Please come up and claim your honor!” The male host standing nearby announced with a smile to the crowd below.

Upon hearing this news, Katie Adams felt much less anxious. Her face showed obvious excitement. She was deeply moved, to the point that her eyes turned red.

When the camera focused on her, she stood up and hugged Alberta Arthur, who also got up at the same time. The affectionate moment between the two was broadcast live.

Out of Alberta Arthur’s line of sight, Katie Adams stared at Simone Milton in a provocative manner. It seemed as though she was saying, “No matter how arrogant you are, what’s the point? Look at your award for Best Supporting Actress—you lost it. Meanwhile, I’ve managed to defeat all those experienced actors and win the Best Actress award.”

Simona Milton, who wasn’t actually in such a bad mood to begin with, couldn’t help but find Katie Adams’s smug expression utterly annoying.

She really thought that this female protagonist was extremely annoying. That smug, self-satisfied attitude of hers was simply disgusting to her.

But considering the circumstances in such a public setting, Simone Milton didn’t show any signs of dissatisfaction. Instead, she politely and generously congratulated Katie Adams.

With great humility, he gave up his seat so that Katie Adams could pass safely.

Katie Adams, who failed to provoke Simone Milton at all, couldn’t help but scowl. She wondered if Simone Milton had somehow become immune to such provocations. Otherwise, how could she remain so calm in the face of Katie’s insults?

With these thoughts in mind, Katie Adams felt as though she had the upper hand over Simone Milton. She felt even more confident and uplifted.

She stepped onto the stage, accepted the award from the host, spoke with a slight sob in her voice, and looked at everyone in the audience.

“First of all, I’m truly surprised to receive this award. In my opinion, there are many people who are more qualified than me to receive the Best Actress award. But since I’ve been chosen, it must be a recognition of my professional abilities by the judging panel. I’m very happy about this…”

Katie Adams delivered a long list of thanks. By the end, she couldn’t hold back her tears, moving everyone who watched.

Finally, after finishing her speech, Katie Adams hugged Alberta Arthur tightly, just like a baby bird that clings to its mother’s embrace.

She said to Alberta Arthur, excitedly: “Alberta, do you see? I’ve succeeded! I’m so happy!”

Albert Arthur instinctively hugged Katie Adams. But when he heard what Katie Adams said, he couldn’t help but look at Simone Milton, who was sitting nearby. He was afraid that Simone Milton might be upset by Katie Adams’ words.

Simone Milton, who was both beyond his expectations and yet in line with his predictions, didn’t seem particularly sad or upset. She appeared, as always, calm and composed.

Realizing that Alberta Arthur was distracted, Katie Adams, who had been so excited earlier, lost her smile.

She looked in the direction where Alberta Arthur was looking. As expected, her gaze met Simone Milton’s. It made her feel a little embarrassed and sad.

She took a deep breath, her expression stiff as she said to Alberta Arthur, “Alright, Alberta, stop looking at Miss Milton. She must be feeling terrible right now. What we’re doing is like rubbing salt in her wounds…”

She didn’t finish her words, but she knew that Alberta Arthur would understand the unspoken meaning behind them.

Sure enough, after she said those words, Alberta Arthur indeed showed a look of self-reproach on her face.

“Sorry, we didn’t think things through properly… I hope you won’t mind.” Alberta Arthur looked at Simone Milton with a hint of guilt, hoping for some kind of response from her.

But when Simone Milton heard this, she simply smiled and didn’t react in any extreme manner to Alberta Arthur.

“Well, Alberta, if anyone weren’t already aware, your words might make it seem like you’re trying to morally coerce Miss Milton! Let’s just take care of our own affairs, okay, Miss Milton?” Katie Adams wore a gentle, soft expression as she smiled at Simone Milton, who was sitting nearby.

Upon hearing Katie Adams say that, Alberta Arthur’s face once again showed signs of panic. He glanced at Katie Adams beside him and sighed.

“Sorry, I think you should know that that wasn’t what I meant…” After saying those words, Alberta Arthur wished she could slap herself hard.

He who said such things truly felt extremely ashamed.

He knew very well that if he were in Simone Milton’s position, he would never believe any of the things he said himself.

He probably would think that anyone who said such things was simply mocking him.

“I know you didn’t mean it that way, Young Master An. You don’t need to take it to heart,” Simone Milton said calmly, with a smile still on her face, as she spoke to Alberta Arthur.

Katie Adams saw Alberta Arthur and wanted to say something else. So, she immediately pulled her down and sat down together with her.

“Come on, Alberta! Miss Milton said she doesn’t mind at all. You shouldn’t worry about it so much!” Katie Adams said, resting her head gently on Alberta Arthur’s shoulder.

While doing this, she couldn’t help but steal glances at Simone Milton. She hoped to see dissatisfaction and resentment in Simone Milton’s eyes.

But Simone Milton’s gaze remained calm throughout, which made her a little flustered.

If Simone Milton really feels nothing for Alberta Arthur at all, then even if she wins, she won’t feel any joy in victory.

Yes, I don’t know when it started, but for Alberta Arthur, Katie Adams wasn’t just a way to climb the Arthur family tree. She became a means of showing off to Simone Milton as well.

It’s a shiny medal.

But what’s the point of all she’s done, if Simone Milton has no interest in this medal at all? It would surely diminish the joy in her heart.

“By the way, Alberta… where do you think we should go to celebrate in a little while?” Katie Adams glanced at Simone Milton, then leaned close to Alberta Arthur’s ear and asked in a soft voice.

“This…” Upon hearing this, Alberta Arthur glanced at Simone Milton once again. It was clear that she cared greatly about Simone Milton’s attitude.

“We should still…” Alberta Arthur spoke with difficulty, trying to refuse to go celebrate with Katie Adams.

But before he could say those words, Katie Adams interrupted him.

Katie Adams even smiled, saying shyly to Simone Milton, “I’m sorry, Miss Milton. I’m just a little too excited. Actually, I wanted to say… if you don’t mind, we’d like to invite you to join us for my award celebration.”

“No need. You two talented people should spend time together and celebrate this award. I’m just an unwanted third party who’ll bother you neither.” Simone Milton heard Katie Adams teasing her once again. She shrugged and declined with a smile.

Katie Adams, who was turned down, immediately looked sad. She looked at Alberta Arthur with a troubled expression and asked, “Did I say something wrong? Is that why Miss Milton doesn’t want to attend our celebration? I swear, I really meant to invite her!”

After all, Alberta Arthur simply couldn’t bear to see Katie Adams sad. Upon noticing Katie Adams becoming upset, she immediately turned away from Simone Milton, stopping her gaze and attention on her.

He pulled Katie Adams, who was beside him, into his arms and said gently, “It’s okay. It’s not your fault… I think Simone Milton would understand too. After all, you’re such a kind person. We all know you never mean to hurt anyone on purpose. So please don’t worry about it.”

Sitting next to her, Simone Milton heard Alberta Arthur say that and couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed utterly boring to her.

She rested her hands on her cheeks, staring blankly at the stage. Finally, when the awards were announced and she could leave, she truly felt relieved.

After the party, Simone Milton, wearing a pair of high heels, stepped outside. She couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling much more relaxed all over.

Although it’s unfortunate that I wasn’t able to win this award this time.

Even worse, there was also Katie Adams beside her, constantly showing off in a boastful manner, which made Simone Milton feel extremely sad.

But, in a way, it also gave Simone Milton a deeper understanding of the situation. Ultimately, it’s because the benefits she can offer to others aren’t strong enough that she’s being treated with such disregard.

This incident made him even more determined to live a better life in this world. All she could do was work harder and become stronger.

After becoming powerful enough, no one dares to do anything to her. With her newfound strength, she can easily confront Katie Adams without having to go through all the trouble of trying to calm down online criticism.

With these thoughts in mind, Simone Milton stepped down the stairs, ready to take the nanny van back home.

Just as she was about to get into the nanny van, a familiar luxury car stopped right in front of her.

The driver, whom she knew better, rolled down the window and smiled at Simone Milton.

“Miss Milton, my husband has been waiting for you for quite some time now,” said the driver, getting out of the car and opening the door for her.

Simone Milton nodded, obediently got into the car, and then saw Nick Arthur with a smiling face.

“Mr. Arthur is in a good mood?” Simone Milton asked, hesitantly, upon seeing this.

Nick Arthur said nothing. Instead, he took out a gift from somewhere and handed it to Simone Milton.

“Congratulations on making it to the list of best supporting actresses this time. Although you didn’t win the award, I think your performance was excellent enough to deserve it. So, there’s no need to be discouraged.” Nick Arthur said with a smile.

Obviously, by the time Nick Arthur went to pick up Simone Milton, he had already watched the show via live broadcast. He learned that Simone Milton hadn’t won the award for Best Supporting Actress this time.

Upon hearing this, Simone Milton was momentarily stunned. Then, she accepted the gift and opened it right there. Inside was a very cute Gougun plush toy.

“Oh, this is a limited-edition merchandise of Panda Gulong… Mr. Arthur, how do you have this?” Simone Milton looked at the beautifully crafted Gulong plush toy with delight. Her frustration from earlier was somewhat alleviated by the cuteness of this little creature.

Hearing this, Nick Arthur was in a very good mood. His gaze wandered as he spoke, “I happened to pass by a gift shop. I thought this little cutie was really adorable, so I brought it along. I hope it can bring you some joy.”

This is a lie. In fact, he had prepared this figurine in advance. He had learned that Simone Milton was likely to win the award for Best Supporting Actress this time, so he went to various places to buy it.

Although in the end, Simone Milton didn’t win the award for Best Supporting Actress, at least she still received a gift, though it wasn’t under that title.

“So, you don’t need to be so sad. Even if you don’t win an award this time, I believe you will definitely win one in the future!” Nick Arthur spoke gently to comfort her.

Holding the entire doll in her arms, Simone Milton felt instantly healed. She nodded firmly.

“Thank you, Mr. Arthur. I feel so much better now! Thank you so much!” Simone Milton said, spontaneously hugging Nick Arthur.

The big hug made Nick Arthur feel a little shy and unsure of what to do. But looking at the happy woman before him, he too felt very happy.

Nick Arthur couldn’t help but touch his chest. His heart was beating violently.

Such throbbing made his cheeks burn. Even between his nostrils, it seemed as though there was still a trace of the perfume Simone Milton wore.

Too close!

Nick Arthur kept wailing inwardly, but on the surface, he remained as calm as ever. He smiled and said, “It’s great that you’re not sad right now! That proves my gift was well worth giving.”

“Thank you…” Simone Milton really didn’t know what to say. All she could do was keep thanking Nick Arthur over and over again.

Seeing this, Nick Arthur sighed and said, “There’s no need to thank me. In fact, strictly speaking, it’s I who should thank you. Besides, we’re now boyfriend and girlfriend. There’s no need for us to say thank you to each other at all.”

Such teasing words made Simone Milton’s cheeks blush involuntarily. As she looked at Nick Arthur, who smiled at her, her heart became even more out of control.

Ahhhh… This is completely unfair… The little voice in Simone Milton’s mind kept crying out in protest, but on her face, two blushes appeared, a genuine expression of embarrassment.

Perhaps it was the ambiguous atmosphere around them, or maybe it was Simone Milton’s shy demeanor that made her so beautiful. Either way, Nick Arthur was completely captivated by her.

Finally, Nick Arthur came back to his senses. He coughed a few times, as a way of covering up his reaction.

He said, “You must be very tired today. So, I’ll give you the day off. You don’t need to spend time with me today. Go back and get some rest.”

Nick Arthur really meant to suggest that Simone Milton shouldn’t overthink things. But when Simone Milton heard this, she shook her head.

“It’s okay. I think I can finish today’s work. After all, this is the contract we prepared earlier, isn’t it?” Simone Milton said with a smile.

Basically, she didn’t want to owe Nick Arthur anything anymore. She felt that if she did nothing, she’d owe him far too much. That wasn’t her style at all.

Seeing Simone Milton’s perseverance, Nick Arthur felt slightly helpless, but also a little pleased inwardly. He sighed and said:

“Since that’s the case, then please stay with me for another hour or two. After that, I’ll take you back.”

Simone Milton had no objections. She sat obediently next to Nick Arthur, allowing him to lean against her.

Simonetta Milton, who had been sitting there in a daze, felt slightly sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Nick Arthur, with his eyes half-closed, spoke up.

“Have you been doing well lately?” Nick Arthur, who was closing his eyes to rest, asked.

“I’m quite fine, Mr. Arthur. These past few days haven’t been particularly busy at all, so I’ve had a rather leisurely time,” said Simone Milton.

“Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve congratulated you yet. Your ad was great. I heard the lipsticks are sold out – many people can’t get their hands on them.” Nick Arthur said to Monica lazily.

“Oh, has Mr. Arthur also heard such news?” Simone Milton, addressed by Nick Arthur in that manner, felt a little embarrassed. She hadn’t expected that even Nick Arthur was aware of this matter.

“Yes, you’re truly remarkable! The people have sharp eyes; they’ll know who’s really better.” That’s what Nick Arthur meant, and everyone understood his message.

He continued to comfort Simone Milton, telling her not to overthink things.

“That’s indeed the case. So I’m very confident that maybe I’ll win some award next time.” Simone Milton said with a smile.

She smiled openly, with no trace of gloom on her face. It seemed as though such things were completely insignificant to her.

And it’s precisely this attitude that Nick Arthur really appreciates.

“By the way, Mr. Arthur, how have you been feeling lately? I noticed that you’re not wearing a mask anymore. That’s great to see!” Simone Milton realized too late that Nick Arthur hadn’t worn a mask at all during recent times.

Actually, this was quite shocking to her. In her opinion, although Nick Arthur said he would take off his mask in front of her, he certainly wouldn’t do it very often.

Looking at Nick Arthur, it’s clear that, given his current situation, he really wants to get rid of those psychological shadows once and for all.

No matter whether such an attempt succeeds or not, for Simone Milton, it’s still a truly remarkable achievement.

Anyone who hopes to become better, who wants to get rid of their past psychological scars, is truly remarkable.

Nick Arthur, who had already made plans in advance and hoped to get feedback from Simone Milton, felt a bit embarrassed after hearing what Simone Milton said.

He felt that the back of his ears were completely red and unbearably hot.

“Hmm, I think the same way. Wearing a mask all the time isn’t right either. So I want to get rid of the habit…” Nick Arthur spoke slowly.

“Well, first of all, I hope Mr. Arthur can overcome the shadows in his heart! Keep going, I’ll be by your side!” Simone Milton spoke gently, her words full of encouragement.

In reality, she felt quite accomplished inside.

After all, strictly speaking, it was only after her appearance that Nick Arthur resolved to make changes and get rid of his past psychological scars.

How could she not feel proud about this?

And just when Simone Milton and Nick Arthur were in a somewhat ambiguous situation, public opinion on the internet began to stir.

It was already past ten o’clock. Many netizens who had nothing better to do were watching the Baihua Award live broadcast. They were still discussing enthusiastically the competition for the awards.

There are sad moments and happy moments too. In short, on this small stage, all kinds of emotions are brought to life.

However, on one of the discussion boards, after watching the live broadcast, a netizen couldn’t help but post a comment and share their opinions.

[With all due respect, regarding this year’s Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, to be honest, don’t you think the winners for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress were reversed?]

[1L Poster: Although all the female stars competing for the Best Supporting Actress award are quite talented, based on the footage shown, it seems like Simone Milton’s acting is clearly superior.]

[2L Visitors: I agree. I find her really fascinating too. Even though that actress who won the Best Supporting Actress award is quite talented, she still can’t compare to Simone Milton, right?]

[3L Ullala: Are they trying to be funny upstairs? Who doesn’t know that Simone Milton’s acting skills are notoriously poor? Isn’t it completely shameless for you to try to put a positive spin on her performance like that?]

[4L: To be fair, Simone Milton’s acting in “Queen De Xian” is actually quite good. I thought this was a widely recognized fact! She’s not anymore the kind of actress who only knows how to make facial expressions and act in a superficial way like before!]

The comments on the fourth floor quickly received a lot of approval from people.

Immediately afterwards, the poster raised their own doubts.

[364L Poster: Alright, let’s put aside for now the discussion about Simone Milton’s acting skills. Let’s focus on Katie Adams, who also won the Best Actress award in the same cast!]

It would’ve been better if the poster hadn’t said anything. But once they did, everyone couldn’t help but start complaining about Katie Adams.

All of these complaints are directed at Katie Adams. She’s not even in the same league as the other actresses competing for the Best Actress award.

Yes, compared to those other well-known veteran actors, Katie Adams’s acting skills are simply not impressive at all.

If there are still some people who are skeptical about whether Simone Milton will win the award for Best Supporting Actress, then that’s understandable.

Well, when it comes to Katie Adams, something like this simply wouldn’t happen at all. Any reasonable person would agree that Katie Adams isn’t qualified to receive an award of such significance.

So in this post, many people who came across it couldn’t help but share their opinions about how this award was unfair.

But such scenes were quickly taken over by Katie Adams’ crazy fans who arrived shortly after.

Katie Adams’s die-hard fans keep flooding the forums with posts about how hard Katie Adams worked to achieve this honor, and how surprising it is that she was able to win it at all.

Some extreme fans even went so far as to question these people, asking if they intended to use cyberbullying against Katie Adams.

This has really stirred up a hornet’s nest. What started as just some complaints within a small circle quickly angered most of the passersby. As a result, they all turned against Katie Adams and went out of their way to criticize her.

And it was at this moment that an anonymous visitor actually detonated a bomb.

[2569L Anonymous Visitor: Actually, I was fortunate enough to participate in this review process. Although I wasn’t one of the main reviewers, I heard that the winner of this award was supposed to be “Empress De Xian”.]

Such a message made many people curious. So, the people who saw the post immediately started asking questions.

This anonymous visitor didn’t keep anything hidden either. In the end, they revealed the actions of the deputy director of Pineapple Station: They kept Katie Adams, who’s completely unfit for the position; and discarded Simone Milton, who actually has great capabilities.

At this point, everyone watching the situation was completely stunned. They never expected that things would develop to such a extent.

And what’s even more unexpected is that there’s actually such a shocking secret.

For a while, passersby’s impressions of Katie Adams also became much worse.

Of course, as someone who was “abandoned” by him, netizens still feel a lot of sympathy for Simone Milton. They say that Simone Milton really got unlucky to meet su
