Chapter 27

Simone Milton was dropped off by Nick Arthur, and it was only then that she learned about public opinion online.

Georgia, having received news of Hu Jie’s defeat, was overjoyed.

“You didn’t see it, did you? How ugly Sister Hu’s expression was when she left! Luckily, I saw it, but sadly, I couldn’t take a picture of it!” Georgia spoke slowly.

Just now, when he came out of the company, he happened to run into Sister Hu, who was giving instructions on how to handle online public opinion.

That’s why this whole situation happened.

“As for matters related to the internet, I have to rely on you, Georgia. I’m afraid they might drag us down again.” After patiently listening to Monica of Georgia, Simone Milton spoke up, expressing her concerns.

Hearing Simone Milton say that, Georgia also realized her own rudeness. She immediately nodded and assured Simone Milton that she would closely monitor public opinion on the internet.

If public opinion on the internet turns against them, he will definitely find a way to address it immediately.

“Oh, by the way, today’s Hundred Flowers Award ceremony is over. But I still need to attend a banquet tomorrow. Please don’t forget about that, okay?” Just to be sure, Georgia reminded Simone Milton not to forget her plans for tomorrow.

Yes, although the award ceremonies have been completed today, strictly speaking, tomorrow is the real highlight of the two-day Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony.

After all, aside from the award ceremony, the dinner the next day is also very important. At the dinner, one can meet many important people.

This is undoubtedly the best way to obtain resources. Therefore, there will be even more people desperate to attend this dinner party, not fewer.

After giving another explanation, Georgia, being cautious, hung up the phone.

Back in the villa, Simone Milton rubbed her sore limbs. By now, Martha had already fallen sound asleep.

After removing all her makeup and putting on comfortable pajamas, Simone Milton went to Martha’s room before going to bed. She kissed Martha to make sure the child was fine, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

Before long, the night passed.

Today’s dinner has clearly made Georgia take this matter extremely seriously.

It’s still early in the morning, yet Georgia is already nervous and has brought Marian to the villa.

Since Juliet Milton didn’t return yesterday, it’s unsurprising that this time, everyone attending the dinner will have to bring their own attire.

Although that’s what they say, in reality, Georgia and the others already received the Xiangmi brand cosmetics in advance.

Even more, there’s a lesser-known luxury brand in the domestic market that approached Simone Milton directly, asking her to wear their clothes.

As for the reason, of course, it’s because Simone Milton’s previous ad showed these manufacturers the potential profits involved. After all, everyone wants to see those profits right before their eyes.

Simona Milton, known as the new “shopping goddess,” is undoubtedly their best choice. Not only is she available for free, but she can also help make this product line more successful in the domestic market.

Even if this attempt at selling products isn’t successful, the manufacturer really doesn’t care. After all, their goal from the beginning wasn’t to succeed in this one event.

What they want is to successfully sign Simone Milton as the spokesperson for their brand. With that in place, it’s easy to imagine that their clothing will become the “second lipstick of the Mihxiang brand”.

It was clear from the start what those investors had in mind. Georgia had no reason to worry at all, so it accepted the manufacturer’s offer with a smile.

As for cooperation, it ultimately depends on the sincerity of both parties. After all, they can’t engage in a loss-making business, right?

This investor had prepared a dress in the Marian style: a light blue garment that gave Simone Milton an air of ethereality.

To show how much this dinner meant to them, the Georgians spent a whole day getting Simone Milton ready for the event.

After getting dressed, Simone Milton now looks radiant. Every smile and frown reveals her grace. Her eyes sparkle with such intensity that they seem capable of drowning anyone in her deep affection.

Taking a deep breath, Georgia forcefully suppressed the fluttering in her heart. Then, along with Marian, she led Simone Milton to the venue of the party.

After driving for about an hour or two, Simone Milton and the others finally arrived at the venue for the dinner party.

Well, normally, people from Georgia simply don’t have the right to be in this venue at all. Yet, quite a few celebrities and big names are already here.

As a hostess, Georgia could enter the party with Simone Milton, but Marian couldn’t.

Georgia took several deep breaths, but his legs still felt weak. He never dreamed that he would ever be able to come here one day.

“Ha, Georgia, you’re not nervous, are you?” Simone Milton looked at Georgia with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Georgia glared fiercely at Simone Milton and said in a forcedly brave tone, “I’m not the kind of person who gets scared! Alright, let’s go in together!”

As he spoke, he walked ahead, moving his arms and legs in sync. Simone Milton followed closely behind him.

The two of them quickly arrived at the venue of the banquet. By now, the place was filled with important people from all over. There were various investors and influential figures whose names one only heard of, but whose faces were rarely seen in person. They were gathered together in small groups.

There were many more like them. After going through great lengths, they finally managed to get the tickets. Those minor celebrities were surrounding the bigwigs, hoping to win their favor in this way.

This means they can achieve instant success and get rid of their current mediocre situation. No wonder these young stars are so eager to take advantage of this opportunity.

“This place is surprisingly bustling. Look at all the important people from our circle who’ve shown up… It’s really surprising!” Georgia spoke in a hushed voice, not daring to speak loudly for fear of being laughed at.

Simone Milton nodded in understanding. Only now did she truly grasp what this party meant.

Although the awards from the previous day left her dissatisfied, to be honest, with the opportunity to attend the dinner party, her dissatisfaction didn’t really matter anymore.

Georgia came here, of course, with an eye on those connections and resources. So, it’s impossible for them to be by Simone Milton’s side all the time.

But he just couldn’t put his mind at ease about Simone Milton. He wanted to take Simone Milton with him to meet those bigwigs.

But such a proposal was rejected by Simone Milton.

She said, “I think you should go to Georgia by yourself! I don’t understand all these connections and resources at all. You’d be nothing more than a figurehead there… In fact, you might even hold you back.”

More importantly, it’s so easy to do that it could easily be misunderstood as pimping.

Obviously, Georgia also thought of this. After some thought, she ultimately decided to give up and take Simone Milton with her.

“Well then, I’ll go back to my duties. You stay here and be careful. Under no circumstances should you approach those nobles. If they get angry, no matter how powerful you are, your fate will be miserable!” Georgia warned sternly.

He wasn’t joking at all. Although, he had never attended a party like this before.

But still, I’ve managed to bring up a few artists who can barely be considered “popular” in the industry. These artists know certain things.

He remembered that a few years ago, there was a very popular celebrity who won an award at the Hundred Flowers Award ceremony. During the event, out of recklessness, he offended a powerful figure who didn’t seem very prominent at first glance.

As for that last celebrity, there’s no trace of him anywhere to this day. No one even remembers him at all. Rumors in the industry say that he was suppressed because he offended some powerful people, and as a result, he completely lost his place in the entertainment world.

Georgia certainly doesn’t want to see Simona Milton, who finally has the potential to succeed, end up in the same situation as that celebrity, just because of some impulsive decisions that could alienate people she shouldn’t offend.

If that day really comes, I’m afraid he won’t even have a place to cry.

After all, they both belong to the same country. What if something happened to Simone Milton? Then Georgia’s situation would definitely not be much better either. It’s the principle of “shared glory and shared sorrow.”

Hearing Georgia’s constant nagging, Simone Milton nodded helplessly, assuring her repeatedly that she certainly wouldn’t offend those whom she shouldn’t offend.

Only then did Georgia let go of Simone Milton and rushed straight toward her own targets.

Left behind, Simone Milton went to the dining area. She picked up some snacks and looked for a quiet place to enjoy them in peace.

She stood in a corner, right by the door. She was very satisfied with her current position. From here, neither would anyone rude come to disturb her, nor could she miss any part of the entire venue.

This means that if there’s any activity or movement going on in the venue, she won’t miss it.

Just as she gently picked up a cookie and began to enjoy it, the tightly closed door suddenly swung open. Everyone immediately turned their attention in that direction.

Then, there were waves of gasps in succession.

There were celebrities who weren’t sure what was going on. They asked carefully, with companions around them who clearly knew what had happened.

“May I ask what happened? Why do everyone seem so shocked?”

This little celebrity’s problem also shocked another celebrity, who then came to his senses:

“Don’t you know that either? Look, that handsome man who’s just walked in—whom is standing beside him? Isn’t that Assistant Hobson, President Arthur’s most trusted aide?” said the celebrity.

“I know Assistant Hobson, but why wasn’t she at the banquet with President Arthur today? Instead, she was with some strange man!” asked the young actress.

This question remains unanswered.

The next second, this young star saw President Arthur’s nephew walking quickly toward this strange, yet handsome man.

“Uncle Eric, why have you come? I thought you wouldn’t want to attend a party like this…” Alberta Arthur looked at Nick Arthur awkwardly.

It’s different from wearing a mask before – it simply gives a sense of pressure.

Now, with the mask completely removed, Nick Arthur revealed his strikingly handsome face. However, this also made Alberta Arthur feel a sense of oppression and unease.

If Nick Arthur wearing a mask before only made Alberta Arthur feel pity for him, then now, Nick Arthur gives off an air of sharpness and determination.

He even subconsciously looked around, trying to find any sign of Simone Milton. After searching the area with no success, he even felt relieved.

In his heart, he didn’t want Simone Milton to see Nick Arthur in such high spirits. The reason for this was quite simple.

Albert Arthur had a that if Simone Milton saw Nick Arthur like this, then she would never see him again.

It was supposed to be something that would make him happy, but instead, it couldn’t make him happy at all.

“Uncle, why did you decide to take off your mask? It’s really hard to get used to… I think it’s better if you keep your mask on,” said Alberta Arthur, who was extremely worried.

“I think I’m just fine the way I am. After all, that’s what my girlfriend says too.” Nick Arthur glanced at Alberta Arthur with a half-smile. He looked around, then spotted Simone Milton in a corner.

“What girlfriend?… If you mean Simone Milton, then I’m sorry, but I believe that no one in the Arthur family, including me, would agree to that. I thought you’d be aware of that by now.” Alberta Arthur bit her lip and spoke coldly.

Nick Arthur acted as if he hadn’t heard those words at all. He remained resolute and continued to move forward toward his goals.

He slowly approached Simone Milton, extended his hand, and said affectionately, “Dear princess, I’ve come to pick you up. I wonder if your knight would be honored to invite you to dinner with us?”

Looking at Nick Arthur like this, Simone Milton had a moment of realization. She slowly placed her hand on Nick Arthur’s hand.

“Of course, it’s an honor for me.” Simone Milton smiled and took Nick Arthur’s arm.

The moment Simone Milton’s hand took Nick Arthur’s, everyone present who was watching the scene gasped in unison.

What’s going on? Is Nick Arthur already taken?

Such information flashed into the minds of everyone present in an instant.

Many celebrities clearly cannot accept such an understanding.

Who is Nick Arthur? Nick Arthur is a well-known “diamond bachelor”. And yet, he was taken away by an obscure celebrity. Who could possibly accept such a thing?

Especially this celebrity: before this, she was involved with Nick Arthur’s nephew as well.

This really makes one can’t help but wonder to oneself:

What exactly is Simone Milton’s charm? Despite losing to Alberta Arthur, she was able to quickly hook up with Nick Arthur.

Anyway, it’s impressive that Simone Milton was able to get Nick Arthur to pay attention to her.

Of course, some of the younger stars don’t think this way. They believe that if Nick Arthur could be won over by Simone Milton, it proves that Nick Arthur isn’t invincible after all.

As long as they work hard enough, Nick Arthur will definitely belong to them.
