The banquet was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Elara Don listened to the host’s instructions, waiting at one side of the stage.
At this mont, Victoria Don was singing on stage to liven up the event.
Having been an actress for so long, singing ca easily to Victoria Don.
Even if there were a few off notes, the audience still cheered enthusiastically.
When the song ended, Victoria Don bowed to the audience.
"Thank you, Miss Victoria Don, for your heartfelt performance. Your singing was truly wonderful."
The host ca on stage, interacting with Victoria Don.
"Oh, it was nothing, I just embarrassed myself."
Victoria Don smiled charmingly, feigning modesty.
"Miss Victoria Don, you’re indeed both beautiful and humble, truly the pure maiden everyone acknowledges and admires."
The host praised her tirelessly.
"Oh, it’s nothing, it’s all just everyone’s kind words."
Victoria Don smiled gently, expressing her modesty again.
"Miss Thorne, in everyone’s hearts, you truly are the epito of a pure maiden. However, a few days ago, I saw a piece of news about you. Could you explain to us what the situation is with those photos of you clubbing during high school?"
A person dressed as a reporter suddenly asked a question from the audience.
"Exactly, even though it was retracted quickly, I also saw that news."
"What pure maiden, anyone in the know understands it’s just a persona created by the agency for their artist."
"Right, Victoria Don just got lucky; she had a son with Damon Hawke, so Hawke Corporation promotes her."
"..."
The audience murmured due to the reporter’s question.
Victoria Don’s expression changed slightly, and she stared fixedly at the reporter.
For today’s banquet, Vinny Hawke must have invited so well-known dia outlets.
But these reporters were all briefed in advance, they wouldn’t ask such pointed questions.
This reporter must have been bribed by soone.
Her gaze shifted to the woman in the starry blue attire standing nearby, catching her provocative look, her face imdiately turned cold.
This elegantly dressed, coldly beautiful woman turned out to be Leia Quinn!
Elara Don’s lapdog!
It must be her causing trouble!
The last piece of news, no need to doubt, was definitely Leia Quinn and Elara Don’s doing!
Victoria Don was furious, but now wasn’t the ti to pursue that issue.
She retained her smile with great effort, "Ladies and gentlen, I know there have been many rumors about recently. I’m very sorry for presenting an unpleasant image to everyone."
Since the topic ca up, denying it outright would seem insincere.
It’s better to explain with a hint of truth and falsity.
Victoria Don’s gaze scanned the room, "Everyone has been young, everyone has rebelled, I’m no exception. Those photos, I don’t deny they’re fake, but the photographers were quite creative, capturing angled shots extraordinarily. I just dressed a bit forward-looking. I’m sure dia professionals understand what shooting angle is most effective to fra soone, right?"
In other words, soone used abstract angles to deliberately fra her.
Her words thus appeared very genuine.
"Miss Victoria Don, your words seem to imply you know who took the photos, don’t you?"
The reporter noticed the hint of major news, pressing the question further.
Victoria Don smiled slightly, without answering directly.
Her gaze fell on Elara Don at the side of the stage, "Elly, is it your turn next to explain the benefits of aromatherapy?"
Elara Don glanced at her, knowing she was deliberately enticing.
Now, without Victoria Don saying anything, everyone would think it was her who took the photos and deliberately created a misleading narrative about Victoria Don’s clubbing days.
What an actress, performing as if it were real.
"Miss Charlotte, please co on stage."
The host promptly invited Elara Don to co on stage.
Elara Don said nothing, obediently walking onto the stage.
"Miss Victoria Don, this Miss Charlotte you’ve ntioned in interviews as your sister without blood relation, correct? Could you tell us, were the photos taken by her?"
The reporter threw out a pointed question.
Victoria Don smiled slightly, reaching out to hold Elara Don’s hand.
"Ladies and gentlen, let clarify, Elly and I are not in conflict. Whether it’s my interviews or concerning my photos, it’s all a misunderstanding, and now, we’ve already reconciled."
Performing again!
Now we’re supposed to act like sisters with deep affection?
Elara Don wanted to withdraw her hand from Victoria Don’s, but was held tightly.
"Everyone must be curious why there’s a misunderstanding between the two sisters? What I want to say is, even teeth and tongue have clashes!"
Victoria Don smiled at Elara Don, "Elly and I have had a good relationship since childhood, but due to various trivial matters, conflicts were inevitable. Later on, our bigger misunderstandings erged because we fell in love with the sa man, leading to so irrational words and behaviors."
"Now, we’ve cald down, and also co to realize that matters of love can only follow their natural course. So, please bless us sisters with wishes of happiness, hoping we each find our own joy."
Her words were so well-articulated that even Elara Don had to applaud.
Victoria Don indeed honed her skills in the entertainnt industry for years, turning lies into believable truths.
What shared affection for the sa man?
Is she referring to Damon Hawke?
Indeed, Damon Hawke recently canceled his engagent with her, allowing her to play the victim while showcasing her magnanimity.
She didn’t retaliate against her for her interference but accepted the fact graciously.
What a joke.
Elara Don listened to the applause beneath the stage, inwardly scoffing.
She flung off Victoria Don’s hand, and took the microphone from her hand, speaking coolly, "I don’t agree with Miss Thorne’s recent words. Firstly, there’s no misunderstanding between us, nor any reconciliation, because in my eyes, you are essentially a stranger. To a stranger, regardless of what she says or does, I won’t care."
"Secondly, the idea that we fell for the sa man is rely your assumption. I have a boyfriend, we have a good relationship, I disdain being a third party. As for why you canceled your engagent with your fiancé, I think you know well yourself, or do you need to disclose the reason publicly?"
Elara Don unceremoniously refuted Victoria Don’s statents one by one.
Victoria Don’s face changed abruptly, not expecting Elara Don to be so unrelenting.
She smoothed her hair by her ears, fake smiled, "Elly, you’re still as genuine and cute as you were when young. You have a boyfriend now? What does he do? Oh, I rember, one of my fans ntioned he’s a thug, right?"
"Elly, even though you regard as a stranger, I’ve always treated you as family, hoping for your happiness. How about this, if you’re willing, I can treat you and your boyfriend to a al another day, if he lacks a proper job, I can help."
A few short sentences filled with disdain once again.
The implication was clear, her status was low, even her boyfriend could only be a thug.
As a sister, she needed to provide support.
