    Chapter 888: Just let others gossip


    Sandy nced around and then looked at Anthony. "I''ll be quick."


    With that, Sandy swiftly rushed into the women''s restroom.


    When Sandy came out and saw the person standing next to Anthony, she couldn''t help but pause.


    "Done?" Anthony spotted Sandy first and greeted her.


    Sandy nodded. "Yes."


    Aaron looked at the person who came out of the women''s restroom and furrowed his brow slightly.


    "You... You look familiar."


    Sandy smiled. "Do I? Have we met before?"


    Anthony was originally going to introduce them, but seeing Sandy pretend not to recognize Aaron, he


    didn''t casually speak up and even gave Hiruma a warning look.


    Hiruma understood Anthony''s gaze and nodded, indicating that he wouldn''t say much.


    Aaron, hearing this, didn''t say anything further and instead turned to Anthony, whispering, "Bro, do you


    have time to go home for a while? Uncle and Aunt haven''t seen you in a long time, and Aunt really


    misses you."


    Anthony nodded. "I know."


    Aaron nodded. "Then I''ll go first."


    Anthony replied, "Okay, take care."


    As Aaron was about to leave, he nced at Sandy''s face again and asked, "Do you know her, Sandy?"


    Sandy turned to Aaron and answered straightforwardly, "Of course, she''s the popr female celebrity


    now. We must know each other."


    Aaron heard this response and didn''t say anything more. He nodded at Anthony and then turned to


    leave.


    "Do you two not know each other?" Hiruma''s voice came right after Aaron left. "Aren''t you both in the


    same circle? You should know each other, right?"


    Anthony also looked at Sandy. "Was Aaron behind the rumors between you two?"


    Sandy didn''t answer Anthony''s question directly but instead asked in return, "Do you know each other?


    Are you brothers? Blood-rted?"


    Anthony nodded. "He''s my cousin."


    Sandy nodded. "So you''re all family. No wonder I felt like you resembled him. I didn''t want to ask you


    before."


    After saying that, Sandy looked at Anthony. "Let''s go."


    Anthony gestured for Hiruma to remove the sign and then turned to follow Sandy''s steps. "You didn''t


    answer my question earlier. Was Aaron responsible for the rumors between you twost time?"


    Sandy shook her head. "Yes and no. But it''s all in the past, so let''s not bring it up."


    Sandy had almost forgotten about the previous incident. In the entertainment industry, rumors can


    circte between anyone. Good or bad, they all happen. It''s a matter of getting used to it. If you can''t


    handle it and let it affect you, it only shows a weak mindset.


    Sandy entered this industry with the belief that, besides acting skills, having a strong mindset was


    crucial. In most cases, she wouldn''t be affected even if others were crumbling.

    However, it still depended on the situation and the person.


    Regarding the incident with Aaronst time, Sandy did take it personally. After all, it was deliberate, and


    Aaron was just a pawn.


    Seeing that Sandy didn''t want to borate, Anthony didn''t ask further.


    It was already around 6:30 pm when they finished dinner. The three of them drove to the outskirts for


    the light show.


    "The show has just started. Anthony, you go in first, and I''ll join you after parking the car," Hiruma


    suggested.


    Hiruma parked the car at the entrance and gestured for Anthony and Sandy to get out first. He would


    find them once he parked the car.


    Anthony agreed and opened the door, stepping out of the car. Then he reached out and helped Sandy


    out. "You can find us at our spotter."


    Hiruma acknowledged and, after Anthony closed the door, he elerated and drove away.


    Once Hiruma left, Anthony looked at Sandy and whispered, "Let''s go."


    Sandy didn''t move and looked down at Anthony''s hand that was holding hers.


    As Anthony realized Sandy''s gaze, he quickly released her hand. "I''m sorry."


    Sandy shook her head. "It''s fine. Let''s go."


    There were quite a lot of people gathered to watch the light show, and it was crowded.


    As they made their way inside, Sandy couldn''t help but feel a little regretful. If she had known it would


    be this crowded, she probably wouldn''t havee. But now that they were here, she could only push


    through with determination.


    "Give me your hand." After walking inside for a while, Anthony reached out his hand to Sandy.


    Sandy looked at Anthony''s outstretched hand and hesitated before extending her own hand.


    With Anthony pulling her along, Sandy felt the crowd wasn''t as overwhelming anymore.


    Anthony did his best to shield her from the crowd and protect her.


    After walking through the crowd for a while, they finally reached the best viewing spot at the center.


    Anthony pulled Sandy up and, while standing guard, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I''m


    sorry, I didn''t expect so many people toe tonight."


    "It''s okay."


    Anthony looked at Sandy''s cheeks and the tips of her ears, which had turned slightly red from the


    previous congestion. His Adam''s apple involuntarily bobbed, and he forced himself to look away.


    But his peripheral vision still caught a glimpse of Sandy''s profile.


    The lights in front shone on Sandy''s face, making her even more enchanting.


    When Sandy sensed someone looking at her, she turned her head to see.


    Anthony naturally leaned in closer to Sandy. "Is it beautiful?"


    Sandy paused for a moment and nodded. "Not bad. I came here once before with my sister, but the


    light show wasn''t as impressive back then."


    Anthony remarked, "With advanced technology nowadays, many things have be highly


    sophisticated."


    Just as they were talking, there was a sudden shout from the crowd.


    Anthony and Sandy turned their gaze simultaneously.


    Therge screen on one side suddenly disyed hearts and then proceeded to show individual photos,


    each taken from a different angle.


    There was a live camera set up in front of the screen.


    When Anthony saw the photos on the screen, he turned to look at Sandy. "Your fans are this crazy?"


    Sandy hadn''t expected to encounter this situation here and felt somewhat bewildered.


    Discussions arose from the surrounding crowd.


    "Isn''t that Sandy, the rising female artist?"


    "I heard she switched from Simsang Entertainment to Gotrend Entertainment because of some hidden


    rules!"


    "Is it true? But I have to say that the CEO of Gotrend Entertainment is a bit more handsome than the


    CEO of Simsang Entertainment! If it were up to me, I would also choose Mr. Hughs from Gotrend


    Entertainment!"


    "Really? But the CEO of Simsang Entertainment, Mr. He, is also handsome, you know?"


    "Well, different people have different preferences. Sandy just likes someone like Mr. Hughs from


    Gotrend Entertainment!"


    "But in the end, they''re all sleeping around. As long as it''s a handsome guy, it''s all good!"


    Thements behind them sounded rather cold. Anthony''s expression turned cold, and he was about


    to refute when Sandy reached out and stopped him. "Wordse out of other people''s mouths, and


    you can''t control that."


    "But what they said..."


    "Mr. Austi, you might not be familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry. Many times, things are


    not what you''ve done, but what others can convincingly im you''ve done. Even you would start


    believing it yourself."
