Chapter 271
Chapter 271 Act Both Onstage and Offstage
Meredith merely gave a faint smile. “He’s not from the entertainment industry, so I can’t say too much.
Please ask some other questions instead.”
Since she declined to respond to this question, the reporters could only ask indirectly, but Meredith was
no fool, so she didn’t take their bait so easily.
Jude was also interviewed briefly. She was merely someone who was in the running, so she probably
wouldn’t have been interviewed if it weren’t for the fact that she was the most anticipated winner this
time. When she went backstage to rest, she happened to bump into Meredith who was returning in high
spirits.
The moment Meredith spotted Jude, she walked up to her and hugged her. “Jude, although I won the
award, I still think that this award belongs to you.”
“There are no reporters here, so quit the act,” Jude sneered.
This had embarrassment inundating Meredith, and she chuckled awkwardly. However, she didn’t dare
say anything too unpleasant out of fear that reporters might have sneaked in to snap photos.
“I feel tired on your behalf, having to act both onstage and offstage.” At this precise moment, Jude’s cell
phone dinged with a message from the young man, Wyatt: ‘While you didn’t win the award this time,
you’re still the best actress in my heart! There’s none other like you!’ He must have watched the live
broadcast. She then walked away as she replied to the message.
Meredith cast her a sidelong nce. At this precise moment, Landy walked over. “That was a close
call! I was scared, terrified that the best actress would have fallen to Jude Knight.”
Only when they were in the car did they dare discuss Jude in private. “Landy, should we dig up some
dirt on Jude Knight? I’m starting to feel that she’s a threat.”
“Indeed. Her public persona is excellent—cold and aloof, so it’s easy to gain a ton of diehard fans. If
she wants attention in the future, a few simple words will be enough to propel her to the top search
queries. Fortunately, she isn’t a fan of variety shows, else her poprity would’ve long since gone
through the roof. I’ll dig up some dirt on her. Her acting skills are good, so her threat to you is too great.
We can’t allow her to get popr.”
In the next instance, Landy turned to Meredith and hugged her lightly. “No matter what, God still cares
for you. It’s truly lucky that you won the award this time!”

As Meredith gazed at her shimmering gold trophy, she couldn’t wait to share the news with Pierre. I
wonder if he watched the live broadcast and heard what I said. Anyhow, it doesn’t matter if he didn’t
see it today. After all, my eptance speech will probably remain on the top search queries for several
days. “Landy, I want—”
“Alright, I know you want to share the news with President Fowler and celebrate with him, so I’ll give
you some time off. However, I can only give you two days at most since we still have a lot of important
matters to attend to next!”
Meredith nodded gratefully. She immediately sent a message to Pierre and snapped a selfie of herself
holding the trophy for the Best Actress Award. Nheless, she didn’t dare appear too happy. She
pondered for a moment beforeposing a message to him: ‘I won the award, Pierre.
In the past, Jamie always said that he wanted to y with my trophies, but I felt that he was too young
and feared that he’d smash them, so I never allowed him to do so. I truly regret it now.
I want to give this trophy to him. Let’s go and visit him together at the cemetery, okay?’ She initially
wanted to celebrate with him but changed her wording in the end.
Very quickly, she received a reply from him: ‘Okay.’ When she received the reply, she was so ecstatic
that she almost jumped for joy. After all, she’d even braced herself for the possibility of him not replying
since he was always so busy that she sometimes had to wait several days for a reply from him. This
time, however, he replied within seconds!
