Chapter 517
The news of Lucian’s departure was a knock-out blow for those who had been clinging onto him as
their ticket to fame. Allison nced at her phone. A text message was received ten minutes ago,
announcing his sudden departure due to workmitments.
Sadie was filled with regret. She was left without a patron now, and if she couldn’t get hold of Lucian,
her future would be uphill. Was she destined to be stuck at Epic Entertainment forever?
Kimberly nced around the room. Disappointment was creeping in when she realized Lucian was
nowhere to be seen. Just moments ago, she had seen him from a distance. Could there truly have
been a man so perfect in this world?
Regrettably, he hadn’t even spared her a single nce.
On the stage, the announcement for this year’s Best Actor and Actress awards was underway.
The Best Actor award went to Garrett.
The Best Actress-
When the host announced “Amaya,” there was a collective gasp. Kayleigh, Epic Entertainment’s top
actress, had missed her shot.
Tonight, Amaya was dressed in a fairy-tale themed gown. Her long hair cascaded in waves. She wore a
radiant smile, as if she had known all along, and made her way to the stage to deliver her eptance
speech.
The award ceremony was being broadcast live. The camera asionally panned to Kayleigh in the
audience. She was dressed in a champagne-colored, figure-hugging, sequined gown that sparkled
under the lights, every inch the regal queen. There was no sign of disappointment or surprise on her
face, only a polite smile. Her emotional control was impable.
From Kayleigh’s perfectposure, one could hardly glean any gossip-worthy information.
After the award ceremony, Kayleigh and Amaya were interviewed in session. The media was not
about to let any potential scoop slip away. When interviewing Kayleigh, they showed some deference
due to her status as a top actress, but they were still after a story.
“Kayleigh, could you rmend some films or shows that you’ve been watching recently?”
Kayleigh suggested a few recent movies she had enjoyed.

think?”
Kayleigh just smiled slightly. “I have seen it. It’s okay, but my taste is different from the audience. To be
precise, everyone’s aesthetic taste is different. I prefer the films I rmended earlier.” With that, she
stood up and left.
The journalists exchanged nces. Wasn’t this a clear sign of disrespect towards Amaya? Movie stars
always seemed a cut above the rest.
It was now Amaya’s turn to be interviewed. She looked perfectly put-together. Her fairy-tale gown had
made her the center of attention, and the ethereal outfit softened her naturally striking looks.
She greeted the camera. “Good evening. I’m Amaya.”
The interviewer asked a few staridard questions, which Amaya answered one by one,
The interviewer then asked, “Amaya, now that you’ve won the Best Actress award, do you have any
changes nned for the roles you’ll take on in the future? You werepeting against the senior
actress Kayleigh for this award. Did that put a lot of pressure on you?”
Amaya let out a ruefulugh. “Of course, it did. When I first entered the entertainment industry, it was
Kayleigh’s films I watched. I’ve seen and loved every single one of her films. Winning the Best Actress
award, made me feel so lucky, and will continue to work hard in the future.”
With these words and the expression on her face, Amaya had yed the innocent card perfectly.
Especially when she mentioned feeling lucky and determined to work hard, her radiant and resolute
smile portrayed her as the ultimate innocent figure. If Kayleigh had seen this interview, she would
probably be rolling her eyes.
