Chapter 43


    The scene suddenly quieted down, with Hubery not uttering another word.


    After a while, Eileen finished her coffee and prepared to get up to throw away her cup Egbert’s


    assistant came over nervously and offered his hand to Eileen, “Let me do it for you”


    Eileen nced at Egbert on the other side, who was still engrossed in his phone, oblivious to the


    interaction. She handed the cup to the assistant


    An hourter, Bblythe and Josiah finally arrived.


    By then, all six regr guests of the show had gathered. The crew also turned on the live broadcast


    cameras,


    Once the live broadcast started, a flood ofments filled the official live chat room.


    -[Wow, the title says they’re in Japan? This trip to Japan sounds like it’s gonna be interesting


    -[Oh my days, I even changed my sleeping schedule to keep up with the show. I watch the show at


    night and catch up on sleep during the day My mum says it’s killing me]


    [Wait, is Phyllis really not on this episode?]


    -[if Phyllis isn’t there, will there be a new quest? I’m not a huge fan of Phyllis, she’s too shy]


    – [I actually quite like Phyllis, she’s always full of energy, never a dull moment with her around]


    -[As a fan, I want to thank everyone for their love for Phyllis. Phyllis has confirmed that she will not


    participate in the rest of the filming for Traveller 5+1, she’s currently in a legal battle with PrismPulse


    Entertainment and Kenley. Let’s all wish her the best


    -So, whos the new guest?]


    While thements were questioning who the new guest was, Bblythe was also asking the same


    question in real life


    The crew members, with a mysterious look on their faces, mumbled into their walkie-talkies. After a


    while, a stylish and elegant woman walked in.


    Upon seeing the woman, Eileen paused for a moment, her gaze quickly shifting to Egbert on the other


    side. Not just her, everyone else in the room also turned their attention to Egbert.


    Egbert was calmly looking at the woman She seemed a bit shy, sticking out her tongue, walked over to


    Egbert in her high heels. She extended her hand and said with a smile, “Mr. Reed, long time no see.”


    She seemed natural standing next to Egbert, they looked quite the pair, like ideal partners.


    By now, there were already loads ofments.


    – [Aurora Bell


    -[Fans of the Spring Couple are going wild!


    -[Honestly, out of all of Egbert’s films, The Alley is my absolute favorite. The most beautiful love story, in


    my opinion, is between their characters Mandy and Jeffery!]


    – [I cant believe it’s Aurora Aurora and Egbert are sharing screen agam! Well done to the production


    team]


    -It can’t believe my eyes. Mandy and Jeffery are reunited! I need to rewatch The Alley. But the ending


    of the film is so sad. I can’t bear to watch it.]


    Egbert had been in the spotlight since he was thirteen, for twelve years now.


    In these twelve years, he had climbed thedder of sess without any hindrance, Behind his sess


    and glory were the iconic characters he had portrayed, which had propelled him to the pinnacle of the


    entertainment industry.


    Egbert’s status and identity had undoubtedly reached a peak, with countless fans worldwide. Most


    actresses wouldn’t even get a chance to interact with him, but Egbert’s fans could only ept the


    appearance of one woman’s name by Egbert’s side.


    That woman was Aurora


    When Egbert was neen, he co-starred with Aurora in a film considered a timeless ssic in the


    history of domestic cinema-The Alley. The Alley catapulted Egbert and Aurora onto the Oscar stage for


    the first time as domestic actors.


    Egbert was the Best Actor that year. Even though Aurora didn’t win Best Actress, she was nominated.


    That year, these two created a miracle.


    The media coverage was intense, and the fans went wild. Although Aurora didn’t win, she was


    nominated, earning her the title of the only woman who could match Egbert. Even Egbert’s critical fans


    couldn’t find fault with Aurora.


    The legacy of The Alley made Aurora a special person in Egberts life. Some even joked that Aurora


    hadn’t dated anyone because she was waiting for Egbert, and fans were hopeful that Egbert and


    Aurora would develop genuine feelings for each other.

    Five years had passed, and Egbert and Aurora had each gone their separate ways. Both continued to


    make films, but they never worked together again. This year Aurora was nominated for the Goldie


    Award for Best Actress. While it was just a nomination, and the Goldie Award wasn’t as prestigious as


    the Oscars, if Aurora wins, she would ascend from an A-list actress to a superstar.


    Recently, Aurora had been promoting her new film due to her Goldie Award nomination, but no one


    could have anticipated her appearance on this reality show, sharing the screen with Egbert again.


    The live chat room was exploding withments.


    However, the atmosphere in real life was far from as lively as thements.


    Egbert nced at Aurora’s extended hand, his expression slightly sinking. His hands remained in his


    trouser pockets, with no intention of shaking her


    hand. Aurora’s smile, which she had been struggling to maintain, almost copsed.


    Seeing this, Hubery quickly stepped forward, greeted Aurora with a smile and helped her out of the


    awkward situation, “Aurora, I didn’t expect it to be you. No one told me.”


    Aurora’s fingertips turned pale, she managed a weak smile and looked in the direction of the crew,


    “They asked me to keep it a secret.”


    The incident was over in just a few seconds. A lot of people didnt notice that it was Egbert who didn’t


    want to shake hands. They just thought Hubery had rushed over to block Egbert.


    But Eileen caught on. She was curious.


    Suddenly, Eileen heard a quiet hum from Bblythe next to her. She turned her head and saw Bblythe’s


    cold face as she was staring at Aurora, seemingly not very fond of her. On the other hand, Josiah


    greeted Aurora quite politely.


    After shaking hands with Josiah, Aurora had regained herposure. She shifted her gaze and saw


    Bblythe. She greeted with a smile, “Bblythe, long time no see.”


    Bblythe was six years older than Aurora. Years ago, Bblythe had yed a supporting role to Aurora in


    a film, and everyone knew about their rtionship.


    Bblythe gave a perfunctory nod to Aurora, but didn’t ‘approach her. Aurora then looked at Eileen and


    said with a smile, “Hello.”


    Eileen responded calmly, “Hello”


    After the brief exchange, the crew began to work. Then Bblythe whispered to Eileen, “I really envy you,


    you just say it straight out when you don’t like someone.”


    Eileen asked, “You don’t like Aurora?”


    Bblythe let out a coldugh and uttered a curse word Eileen had never heard her use before, “She’s


    such a bitch.”


    Eileen was shocked. She had really never expected that Bblythe, who was usually gentle, courteous,


    caring, and always friendly to others, would use such sharp words to describe a person.
