Chapter 104 What''s Your Cousin-inw''s Surname (Part Two)


    Then, Jim looked at Eva with a yful yet threatening expression in his eyes and thought, ‘I will be sure


    to remember this girl!’


    At the same moment, the director entered the room.


    "Essie, are you here? You’re going to sing ‘Reversed Attack’ with Jim for the opening."


    Essie couldn’t believe what she heard. ‘What?!’ She couldn’t utter a word but she was already


    screaming in her mind.


    The color on her face quickly faded. ‘Why the hell didn’t they inform me in advance?!’ Luckily, she was


    good at singing. Otherwise, she was already thinking about what a disaster it would be.


    To her constion, Jim was informed about it but he never rehearsed. After all, he was also good at


    singing and doing it in front so many people was a trivial thing for him.


    "Don’t worry too much. I’ve got your back," Jim said as he winked at her. He tried to assure her that


    everything would be fine because it was evident in her facial expression that she was about to have a


    panic attack. "You just have to trust me. All right?" His eyes shed with gentleness.


    As everyone heard this, they nced meaningful looks at each other. Their minds were running with


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    every spection that they could think of.


    ‘Why on earth is he being head over heels with this girl?’ ‘Don’t tell me that he really has a crush on


    Essie?’


    As everyone was guessing in their heads, Nicole also couldn’t help bute up with one. She


    remembered that her agent told her before that Essie had a pretty powerful backer. Now, she was


    wondering if her agent was actually talking about Jim.


    Hidden at one of the corners of the room, Sunny also witnessed everything. She was fuming with


    jealousy and resentment.


    ‘What on earth was so good about that good-for-nothing cockroach?! Hanson always misses her and


    couldn’t forget her. The handsome ice man is treating her like a precious treasure. Now, even Jim, the


    greatest superstar, has his eyes on her?’ Her face was so red, extremely furious at everything good


    that was happening on Essie’s end.


    Everyone was already getting prepared as the program would start in a few minutes.


    Inside the Yang City stadium, all seats were fully upied. Even the aisles in between the seats were


    full of people. Most of them came here just to witness and see Jim in person.


    Essie was very nervous as she waited for their turn to perform at the opening. Committing a mistake in


    front of this crowd and on national television was thest thing she wanted to happen. Fortunately, Jim


    was such a professional when it came to performing on-stage. His charisma and showmanship were


    not for naught. As soon as they got on the stage, Jim pulled her towards him and mesmerized


    everybody with their stunning performance. To think that they didn’t even rehearse in the first ce, but


    managed to get the crowd on the edges of their seats with Jim’s leadership, the title of him being the


    "Prince of Entertainment" couldn’t even give him justice.


    On the judges’ table, Hanson couldn’t help but clench his fists and grit his teeth. He was on the front


    seat of the live show that would cruelly torment his heart.


    The gossips spread like wildfire. In just a few minutes, the performance and seemingly untold


    rtionship between Jim and Essie went viral and were trending in social media. Even Hanson found it


    very strange that he directly sought for Essie as soon as he arrived at the stadium. There was no


    reason not to be suspicious.


    In everyone’s eyes, they cooperated so well as if there was magnificent chemistry between the two. As


    he pondered upon this, his jealousy just surged up another notch. One rival in love was already too


    much for him to deal with, and now, there came another one. On top of that, Hanson thought that he


    was so far behind with hispetitions. In his mind, he realized that he had to do something right


    away, or he would really lose her forever.


    This round, Essie and Nicole unanimously won the first prize. It wasn’t much of a shock when the


    audience saw Jim give a full score to the tandem. On the other hand, Sunny was getting furious and


    frustrated as nothing was going right on her side. She was continuously losing face as thepetition


    dragged on.


    At the same time, Le was drinking alone in a bar on the other side of Yang City.


    She wasn’t interested in the on-going show, and besides, she was one of the few people who really


    knew why Jim decided to participate in that program.


    ‘Really? He used Jim for this purpose? A roommate was worth all this effort?


    A roommate deserved to receive and have the right to wear a ring with Purple Love?’


    As she continued to drink several sses in a row, she grew somewhat drunk and began to n things


    without really thinking about their consequences.


    Right at this moment, when the alcohol was running in her veins, she had to find out what Essie really


    meant to Zac.


    She knew that it was a good time to visit Zac. Generally, Zac didn’t prefer to be a part of lively scenes


    so she was sure that he wasn’t at the stadium. So if her guess was right, he would just be at home,


    alone.


    After finishing her drinks at the bar, she went straight to his ce.


    At this time, Finney had just finished watching the live show and was about to take a shower before


    going to bed. Then, the doorbell suddenly rang. She thought that it was Essie and that she had


    forgotten to take her key with her. It made sense to her because Essie was prone to losing things since


    childhood.


    However, as soon as she opened the door, the face of a stranger surprised her. "Uhm, who are you


    looking for?" she politely asked. She actually had a feeling that she had seen her from somewhere, but


    she wasn’t so sure.


    "I came for Zac. Where is he? And who are you? Why are you at his home?" Le bombarded her with


    questions as she looked at her up and down. Finney’s polite behavior faded away as she realized that


    this disrespectful woman was actually drunk.


    ‘Damn, what was my cousin-inw’s first name again?’ She actually forgot to ask Zac’s name. "This is


    my cousin’s and cousin-inw’s house. Are you sure you have the right address?" She became


    suspicious by the stranger who came by. The house was entrusted to her so she had to do her best to


    keep it safe especially from paparazzi or other people with ulterior motives.


    ‘Did she just say cousin? Cousin-inw?! What the hell is this girl talking about?’ As Le was intrigued


    by the woman’s response, she couldn’t help but ask, "Is your cousin’s name Essie?"


    When Finney heard her say Essie’s name, it finally dawned on her where she saw the face in front of


    her. "Wait. Are you the guest that they invitedst time at that show where Essie was participating?"


    She had to ask just to be sure.


    ‘Tch. I’m exposed.’ "Yeah. It’s me…" Le said in a low voice as her aggressiveness kind of dissipated.


    She was a little embarrassed because of what happened to her reputation after finishing the recording


    for the program. For a while, she had been a target of public criticism, so she had toy low. She didn’t


    dare to go out for several days in fear that someone would throw eggs or other disgusting stuff at her


    when they found out her identity.


    When Finney heard this, her face darkened. She clearly remembered all the negative things she said to


    Essie and how unfair she had treated her in the show. "So, are you here to apologize?" she tantly


    asked.


    "Why would I apologize? For your information, I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m here for Zac, okay? Do


    you mind letting me in already?" Once again, Le set aside all the nobleness and elegance as the


    alcohol clouded her mind. She pushed Finney aside and forced her way in. In her mind, this woman


    was just also a guest so she had no right to prevent the owner’s guest from entering his house.


    "Hey! You’re trespassing. If you don’t leave right now, I’ll call the police." Finney had no choice but to


    threaten Le. She stared at the drunken girl angrily and held her phone in one hand, preparing to


    make the call anytime. However, Le just ignored her and sat down on the sofa without asking for


    permission. "Oh, I just remembered you saying you have a cousin-inw. Are you talking about


    Hanson?" "Who are you talking about?


    My cousin-inw’s surname is Rong," Finney replied reluctantly as she didn’t know why this girl would


    be asking her cousin-inw’s name if he was the one she was looking for. Le’s eyes quickly widened


    and her dizziness somehow subsided.


    "Did you just say that his surname is ‘Rong’? Ha-ha! You’re a weird woman!" Le wasughing but


    trembling at the same time. Her mind couldn’t think straight after hearing the revtion of Essie’s


    cousin.


    "You’re the weird one! Don’t you think I’ll know my own cousin-inw better than you?" Finney had to


    get a bottle of ice-cold fruit juice from the fridge and drank it in one go to calm her nerves. She was


    itching to kick this crazy girl out of the balcony.
