The large screen suspended above the stage flickered and then began playing Iris Long’s video ssage. It showed her head down to her upper chest. Her long, straight, silky hair frad her beautiful face.
She had not made a public appearance for quite so ti now. If it weren’t for the fact that her na kept on being dragged in the headlines, she would’ve already been forgotten by the general public except for her loyal fans, the Black Stars.
Showbiz was a cutthroat industry. It had a huge turnover rate of celebrities. Those who were unable to build or maintain their popularity would soon be replaced by fresh faces. Then the cycle would start all over again.
This didn’t apply to Iris Long, though. She was still able to maintain her fa despite not producing any new work in showbiz and showing herself now and then. On the contrary, she beca more popular in recent weeks because of all the tis that her na was ntioned in the news, even though the stories had nothing to do with her personally.
For the majority of the people, this was the first ti that they had seen Iris Long for what felt like a long ti. She still looked beautiful, of course, but they were all shocked to see that she had beco so much thinner. She lost so much weight!
Her chin beca pointier and her cheekbones sharper, making her phoenix eyes appear larger. Her shoulders beca smaller and her collarbones deeper. It was also obvious that she was recording in her bed.
Unlike her usual blinding beauty which always brightened any room she walked in, her beauty this ti was delicate and elicited pity and a sense of protectiveness from those who saw her.
A concerned murmur arose from the audience. It wasn’t only them. The huge crowd camping outside the hotel, mostly consisting of Jin Chonglin’s army of fans, also couldn’t help but feel distressed upon seeing her. It was the sa with the livestream viewers. The ones who felt most affected were the Black Stars.
"CaptainBlackStar: Boss Iris, what happened to you? You looked absolutely blooming when I saw you at your wedding with CEO Jin but how could you beco so sick so soon? Ah, my heart hurts seeing you like this!"
The other mbers also echoed CaptainBlackStar’s concerns. They were all afraid that their Boss Iris had contracted a serious illness. Maybe that was why she had stopped almost all of her showbiz work. They all cried. So even began blaming Jin Liwei.
"CEO Jin, we entrusted our Boss Iris to you and felt genuinely happy that you married her, even though we thought that you’re too old for her. Then we see her like this after your supposed happy wedding?! You’re not taking care of our boss properly!"
"Boss Iris’ health has always been fragile ever since she made a coback after her car accident—no, attempted murder. There’s no way that I’ll forget that Prince Lin Lin’s crazy ex-fiancée, that Fan Luo, wanted to murder our boss, causing her to crash her own car and beco comatose for an entire year. The bitch even made the lives of many other won who were linked to Prince Lin Lin back then a living hell. Truly an evil woman! Anyway, as I was saying, Boss Iris’ health hasn’t been the best because of what she went through back then due to that evil Fan Luo."
"I agree! And now, she has to deal with another crazy woman who attempted to rape her husband! No wonder Boss Iris got sick! All the stress must be too much for her to handle!"
"All I have to say is that I feel sorry for Boss Iris for becoming involved with the Jin brothers who are magnets for insane won who aren’t afraid to commit the most evil cris. Boss Iris, please hang in there!"
There were also those who defended the brothers, Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin.
"It isn’t the fault of CEO Jin Liwei and Prince Lin Lin that those kind of madwon fell for them. Don’t bla them anymore. They’re victims, too."
"True. CEO Jin and Prince Lin Lin shouldn’t be blad. But I think that the one who suffered the most is our Boss Iris. First, she almost died from the hands of Prince Lin Lin’s ex-fiancée. And now, she fell sick and went into seclusion even though her career is at a point that she should be producing more work and making more public appearances to capitalize on all the attention to beco more famous. But no, that disgusting Rose Young just had to kidnap our boss’ husband and attempt to sexually violate him. If soone did that to my own husband, I would probably go crazy and murder the immoral bitch. I bet Boss Iris beca too furious that she fell sick."
The discussion continued and beca more intense as they watched Iris Long’s video ssage. Her voice sounded heavenly as usual but the people still detected the faint note of weakness in it.
"Good evening. My na is Iris Long and I’m the President and CEO of Orchidia Beauty.
