Chapter: 171
Theodore was still in a foul mood. He picked up the coffee and took a sip, but it was so horribly bitter that he scowled and put the cup back on the table in revulsion.
“What even is this? Take it away.”
Horace moved the cup away from his employer obediently, but he couldn’t help proposing, “If you think that Theodore Anderson as an identity isn’t working out, why not give another identity a try? Maybe you'll get something you won't expect.”
Theodore calmed down when he heard this. He tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
Half a month passed. The crew of the program, Miss Back, had already resumed shooting. After the first public performance was broadcast, Sarah won both on-stage site voting and online popularity voting. ©
The investment in this program was huge and increasingly rising.
The program was not only gorgeously filmed but also caused a lot of hot topics. In addition to the previous heat, Miss Back became the dark horse of the variety shows released this year.
Then two more public performances were recorded, and tens of millions of netizens were hooked and planned to watch them before they were broadcast.
Among the artists, Sarah and Elva were both highly anticipated to be the reigning champion.
Around this time, Ariana was at the recording site of the fourth public performance. Compared to the first time she accompanied Sarah to a recording, this time she was treated much better and with a lot more respect. She was not only offered proper food and drink but also beckoned to an agent’s exclusive seat.
The only unfortunate thing was that that seat was arranged right next to Jasper’s. @
There was an audience watching off the stage, along with more than a dozen cameras set in different corners to capture all scenes of the public performance at any time.
Naturally, there were some cameras aimed at the exclusive seats of the agents to capture their reactions.
Even if Ariana and Jasper were hostile to each other, under the constant surveillance of the cameras, they had to force themselves to smile and behave.
“It seems you've had a good time recently. | can tell by your face; it’s much rounder.” Jasper’s comment was clearly meant to provoke her since he knew Ariana couldn’t do anything to him now. @
Ariana didn’t reply and stared straight ahead, ignoring him. She did roll her eyes inwardly.
When she didn’t respond, and since he was an arrogant person, he assumed she stayed silent because of fear.
He turned to look at Ariana’s lovely face and warned, “Don’t get too full of yourself. Sarah may have been in the limelight recently, but you'd better be careful. You know what they say. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.”
Annoyed, Ariana changed her posture, increasing the distance between them as much as she could and moving farther away from Jasper.
Jasper thought he hit a nerve. He kept the fake smile on his face and prodded again, “Are you angry? By the way, you must have seen my brother's recent scandal. As his wife, you must be heartbroken. But | advise you not to put all your focus on your career. Don’t work so hard just to win the bet. | suppose if you lost his favor, the loss would outweigh the gain.”
It was quite obvious that Jasper was good at provoking her. He only said a few words, yet he brought up a bunch of horrible memories in Ariana.
Since she left without letting him know that day, Theodore never reached out to her again. She assumed he must have returned to Eleymond. Perhaps he had forgotten about her and was flirting with his lover now.
Ariana was annoyed at this thought, but she was more infuriated about being provoked again. She snorted and mocked Jasper, “Since you have the time to gossip, maybe you should be taking better care of your artist. Just look at Elva. There are dark circles under her eyes and blisters around the corners of her mouth. No amount of foundation can cover that.”
Jasper glared at her and gnashed his teeth with hatred. Elva was the one most affected by Sarah’s rising popularity.
