Chapter 493


    Marcus said with a grin on his face, “I’ve been hiding from you for a long time. How long do you want me


    to continue hiding? I’ve had enough to be a fugitive. So, you might as well finish me off to end my


    suffering.”


    Skr failed to pretend that she didn’t know Tobias. After the incident, the assistant director, who sat


    next to her on the ne, asked a series of questions. “Skr, are you dating Tobias now? No wonder


    you signed a contract with Royal Entertainment. When will you make it public? I can imagine the envious


    looks on the actresses’ faces the moment you make it public.”


    Skr shed him a wry smile. Deep in her heart, she intended to say that it probably wouldn’t happen


    for the rest of her life.


    When people were gossiping, there would always be someone who said unpleasant things. “I think she


    is merely his acquaintance. We’re lucky to meet the lucky one today. Anyway, a prominent family like the


    Fords won’t ept an actress. Winnie used to be arrogant when she was dating Sheldon, but look at her


    now! It’s clear that Sheldon had forgotten her.”


    As Skr couldn’t stand listening to the gossips, she put on the earplugs given by the air stewardess to


    have peace of mind.


    Skr hadn’t seen Winnie for a long time but only heard that udia made Winnie and Sheldon break


    up.


    Back then, the rtionship between Sheldon and Winnie was ambiguous. After all, he never made it


    public that they were dating. This time, his attitude toward her was entirely different, for he broke up with


    Winnie straightforwardly.


    On the other hand, no one believed Skr could marry a prominent figure because the public persona


    that she built was of a pitiful actress.


    Initially, Skr thought that Tobias would board the same ne with her. It turned out that she


    overthought it.


    It was true that Tobias was in the VIP airport lounge with her earlier on. Soon, she was startled to find out


    that he was boarding his private jet instead, to Dellmoor.


    Apparently, he had no intention of inviting her.


    Due to the flight’s dy, Skr was nearly an hourte to the event.


    Meanwhile, the reporters got impatient and began to grumble about her tardiness.


    Skr was in her sportswear, which was her attire when she boarded the flight. Due to time constraints,


    she didn’t change her clothes and went up to the stage directly. Meanwhile, Largo, who was in a formal


    suit, stood on the stage handsomely.


    Once she got up, she bowed to the reporters and apologized, “My sincere apologies for beingte. My


    flight was dyed at thest minute. I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting.”


    Given that Skr was sincere and didn’t even get to change her clothes, the reporters were satisfied and


    decided not to condemn her through their writings.


    Rumors about Skr and Avery had been widely spread for a few days. Since both of them were present


    now, they naturally came under the spotlight.


    Today was the trailer premiere of Empyrean Sword, a TV show set in ancient times. A few hundred


    million was spent on its special effects, while the team spent three years from scene construction to post-


    production to produce the masterpiece.


    In the trailer, Skr, who was in a green dress, looked cute but slightly rebellious. Besides, the cherry


    blossom headdress matched her perfectly, making her look gorgeous but a little cheeky.

    As Avery was watching the trailer, she clenched her fists in anger. This stage and the female lead were


    supposed to be mine!


    Meanwhile, exmations and praises filled the air, for everyonemended Skr for her beauty.


    Even though the trailer was merely 10-minute-long, its plot, movie characters’ costumes, and special


    effects were enthralling.


    Avery couldn’t help but feel dispirited. I will be the center of attention right now if Skr doesn’t exist in


    the first ce. The b*tch has ruined everything!


    “Do you guys feel awkward with one another?” One of the reporters began to ask.


    Knowing that she couldn’t avoid such questions forever, Skr gazed at Avery smilingly and replied, “Not


    really. As they say, let bygones be bygones. We can’t choose our parents, after all. Moreover, Avery


    couldn’t dictate her mother’s choice back then.”


    On the other hand, Avery’s face darkened, for Skr kept suggesting that her mom was a homewrecker.


    Besides, Avery still couldn’t understand why her father would reveal what happened in the past.


    “Avery, what do you have to say in response to Skr’s remark?” Another reporter asked.
