Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day

Chapter 33

For a moment, the spotlight shone on Sophia and Lucas on the big screen, their faces depicted like a pair of lying clowns.

The arena was soon filled with whispers and murmurs.

In the world of showbiz where specters and monsters were not uncommon, what couldn’t happen?

Even the most chaotic things could take place.

Thus, the celebrities present didn’t seem surprised, nor did they indulge in rampant gossips. They didn’t find it too unusual, and feared being caught on camera.

Sophia, however, felt played.

“It’s someone else’s personal matter, I shouldn’t comment too much. Besides, my friend is an outsider to this industry, it’s okay to talk about our peers.”

The host seemed understanding, “Indeed, I was being too nosy. My apologies. Speaking of peers, as the recent award winner, you seem to be quite close to Director Chin. Is there a new project on the

horizon?”

Upon hearing the host mention Director Chin, Sophia felt her heart about to explode.

How did they know everything?!

But she quickly composed herself and nodded subtly, “Yes. We’re discussing a project, which, if all goes well, should start filming soon.”

“We’re looking forward to your collaboration with Director Chin then.”

the host said.

Sophia graciously smiled, “Thank you for your wishes.”

“However, I would recommend you to maintain your figure for the camera. After all, Director Chin’s projects are always high standard and high demand. But I see you’re confident, your face seems to be glowing with prosperity.”

The celebrities below began to applaud and laugh.

But Sophia couldn’t laugh.

Because the words implied she had put on weight!

She self-consciously touched her belly, forced a dry smile, and quickly handed the microphone back to the staff.

As if fearing further questions to come.

Next, the big screen rotated a few times, indeed spotlighting other stars. But the questions were not tricky, just casual chit-chat.

During the final random capture, it was Sophia again!

This time, some veteran actors speculated that someone was deliberately messing with Sophia.

But they wouldn’t say anything.

First, Sophia’s previous award was somewhat undeserved, which

arked resentment among many. Moreover, there were rumors. Dout her being particularly close with a certain director.

SoSophia’s face turned pale, but she had no choice but to take the mimicrophone.

ThThis time, it was a different female host..

UpUpon seeing her, many celebrities changed their expressions.

NcNot for anything else, but because this host was known for her

straightforward questions, not caring about the interviewee’s feelings. She knew precisely what the fans and audience wanted to

know.

This host was called Yan Fang, nicknamed Sister Yan. With her sharp eyes and short hair, she could ask the most challenging questions with the most affable smile, leaving people unable to vent their frustration.

Yan Fang didn’t even have a script, just held the microphone, “Nice to meet you, Miss Sophia. I’m honored to be the first person to interview you on stage.”

Sophia was sweating cold, she swallowed her saliva, “The honor is mine.”

Many eyes in the venue were focused on Yan Fang.

Who wouldn’t enjoy a show?

Especially when it’s Yan Fang interviewing someone.

Yan Fang went straight to the point: “There are rumors that you, Miss Sophia, have been secretly married for several years. Is that

true?”

Wow!

at’s a bombshell question to kick off with!

Sophia was almost suffocating, she clutched the microphone.

Some people could already see her changing complexion, any other interviewer might choose to sidestep this question.

But not Yan Fang.

First, her interviews were always like this, and second….

Someone had offered a lot of money to let her ask whatever she

wanted, and they assured her they would cover her no matter what happened afterwards. So, what did Yan Fang have to be afraid of?

She was all set to ask.

She had prepared many questions in advance.

“Those are just groundless rumors, not to be believed.” Sophia

answered.

Yan Fang was not surprised by this answer and asked another question, “I heard from some colleagues that they once saw you and a director entering and exiting a hotel. What do you have to say about

that?”

As soon as these words came out, the entire venue was about to

explode.

No one would ask questions so blatantly.

But if it was Yan Fang, it was more than usual..

Mostly, they were amazed that Sophia, who had just won the award, would have such a thing happen?

Wasn’t she always portraying the image of an independent and elegant woman?

Sophia’s eyes were red due to the restraint.

If it wasn’t for the occasion, she might have stormed off after

throwing the microphone.

Not only that, even Lucas next to her looked at her.

No matter what, Sophia would never admit it, “I also heard these rumors, but I didn’t clarify because that director is my mentor. I don’t want to tarnish his efforts to nurture me with these scandals. I also hope to work hard to repay my mentor’s help.”

Yan Fang didn’t pursue further and switched the topic, “Before coming here, I just found out something. I don’t know if Miss Sophia would be upset.”

Sophia forced a smile, “No, please go ahead.”

Yan Fang seemed to deliberately raise her voice, “I have a colleague working at the USCS who casually mentioned seeing you at the USCS. Were you there to handle divorce procedures with a gentleman?”

Suddenly, there was an uproar around.

The sounds were chaotic, but most of the chatter was from the low- profile stars.

The big names didn’t bother with such a small actress.

Especially a talentless one who only knew how to use backdoor

channels.

In the front row.

Madison was staring intently at the expressions of the two people

on the big screen.

Seeing their wonderful expressions, Madison felt the resentment pent up in her heart finally eased a little..

st then, a soft voice whispered into her ear, “Feeling better now?”

madison suddenly turned her head.

Ethan was leaning on the chair, his face illuminated by the light. She saw the gentleness in his eyes.

He…

“You…it wasn’t you…”

ELEthan noticed a furious gaze from the back row, then deliberately.

moved closer to Madison.

So from Lucas’s perspective, it seemed like the man was kissing Madison!

“Bang!”

Sophia had just finished answering Yan Fang’s tricky questions that nearly skinned her alive when she heard Lucas slamming the

armchair in anger.

He got up furiously, strode through the seats, disregarding Sophia, and left alone.

Sophia didn’t even get to call him back.

The mocking and gloating gazes from nearby made Sophia nearly collapse, but she had to stay seated

Leaving would only mean she was scared!

However, Lucas didn’t leave, he just stepped out of his seat and stood by the exit, staring at the big screen.
