The Cherished Wife



Now, things were complicated. She could not just act out a scene on stage as that required rehearsals. Plus, there was no time for that. "Next up, please welcome Winter Shaw from Royal Star," announced the host from the stage.

Hearing her name being called, Winter, who was still in preparation mode, was momentarily caught off guard. However, being a seasoned actress, she quickly regained her composure.

She stood up, walked calmly onto the stage, and bowed gracefully. She then began, "First of all, I wish Collosus Group continued success I joined Royal Star and the Collosus family this year thanks to..."

Winter glanced at Charles in the audience, her eyes flashing with a shy smile. "...thanks to Mr. Hoffman's belief in me. I promise to work hard and strive to become the pride of Royal Star and Collosus Group.

"I'll be singing Courage by Reanie Loffman. I hope it inspires everyone to be brave, to forge ahead, and to face challenges head-on."

After this long introduction, Winter moved to the center of the stage, sat down, and began to sing quietly.

One had to admit that Winter's speech indeed inspired many in the audience. Some overlooked her vocal skills, appreciating her effort instead. Nheless, not everyone was as forgiving, especially J. She had just returned to her seat and had barely sat down when Winter's performance began.

Seeing Winter flirtatiously glancing at Charles while singing, J could hardly contain her anger.

Fixating her eyes on Winter, J watched until Winter reached the chorus. Then, J abruptly stood up and walked to the side of the stage. She grabbed the host's microphone and announced, "Ms. Shaw's rendition of 'Courage' is quite something, but it seems that she's better at giving speeches than she is at singing."

Winter was suddenly interrupted mid-performance. She froze, utterly unprepared for J's sudden appearance.

Hearing J's cutting remarks,

Winter's face flushed, turning pale and then red. She clutched the microphone tightly with a troubled expression, but she managed to keep her composure.

Trembling slightly, she said, "Ms. Baker, what do you mean by this? I know my singing may not be great, but it's my sincere effort. I am, after all, an actress and not a singer."

Winter's words, combined with her

emotional expression and slightly reddened eyes, made her look genuinely vulnerable and pitiable. It was even eliciting sympathy from the audience.

True to her acting skills, Winter managed to win the crowd's support with just this small display. The employees in the audience began murmuring among themselves.

"Yeah, she's an actress, and she's doing well enough with singing."NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"That's right. Even if her performance isn't perfect, interrupting someone like that is just plain rude!"

"Shh, be quiet. That one's got connections. I think Winter's in for a tough time."

The scene turned chaotic. Seeing the situation escalate, Clarisse's entourage moved in to intervene but were stopped by others.

Anxious to have J step down, Clarisse glanced at Charles.

It was evident that Charles had his men intercept the people Clarisse had sent to follow J. Despite her displeasure, Clarisse held back because of Charles.

Charles waved his hand, signaling the security team to control the situation.

Standing at the side of the stage,

J, who was furious with Winter's dramatic display, yelled, "Courage?. Who gave you the courage to stand here? Just because you're with Royal Star, you think you're something special? Given that lack talent, who allowed you up here?"
