Emma continued to sing as she slowly led Herman into the song. The host quickly realized what was happening and handed Herman another microphone.
With Emma leading, Herman finally let go…
When it came to his singing technique and voice, he was much more professional than Emma. As soon as he opened his mouth, it made people feel like they wanted to cry…
Emma’s voice slowly quietened down as she smiled and watched Herman become consumed by the song. His voice was indeed comfortable to listen to and full of life.
His technique and voice was enough to make him unforgettable to the other musicians present…
It didn’t take long before the song finished and the stage once again lit up. The host immediately approached the two and said in a surprised tone, “Who would have thought that Emma would attend this awards ceremony and even appear on stage with her agency junior. What a surprise and honor. Hello, Emma…”
“Hello everyone. I hope you can forgive my lack of self control. Because I love this song, I turned up uninvited. This song represents the dreams of so many people and I’m sure everyone once started off as a newcomer with dreams like this. I think this song is well-suited to Lafayette and well-suited to all those that are striving for their dreams.”
What Emma meant was: Herman was a newcomer and she hoped everyone would remember how they felt when they were newcomers.
So as soon as Emma spoke, everyone below the stage started reminiscing about their past.
They suddenly became a lot more understanding towards Herman’s moment of stage fright earlier…
“Don’t be afraid,” Emma said to Herman.
“Since Emma is here…Let’s have a look around and see if Mr. Roborts is also here,” the host suddenly piped up nosily. It had been a while since the couple appeared in front of the public, so they obviously drew a lot of attention and curiosity.
The cameras panned across the audience and finally spotted him in the audience. Eric did not give much of a reaction, he simply nodded at the camera as a form of greeting to everyone.
“Who would have thought Mr. Roborts is actually here too. This couple sure goes everywhere together…” the host said admiringly.
“I would like to give my well wishes to Lafayette and everyone below the stage.” After speaking, Emma bowed to the audience and left the stage.
As Herman watched her walk off the stage, his eyes began to get watery.
He had said he wasn’t going to rely on family. But, at a time like this, Emma appeared on stage to save him without hesitation…
Emma had always been like this: regardless if they were family or friends, as long as she cared about them, she would protect them until the end.
Meanwhile, below the stage, Eric received a phone call. His originally calm exp**ssion suddenly sharpened. As soon as he saw Emma, he handed the phone directly to her. It was a phone call from Luke: he had a full grasp of Herman’s situation in the waiting room.
“Madam, the rascals sure are brave! They wanted to frame Herman for taking drugs. They placed marijuana in his backpack and called the police.”
“Then, let’s give them an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” Emma replied coldly.
After stepping off the stage, Herman’s manager patted him on the shoulder. Of course, he had no idea of his relation with Emma.
“You little rascal, you sure are lucky that Emma and the President were present and that Emma has always had a sense of justice. In the past, both Jordyn and Fletcher were helped by her, now it’s your turn. I’m so jealous.”
“Emma is a great person.”
“Of course, how could our President’s wife not be a great person?” the manager grabbed onto Herman’s arm and headed with him to the waiting room, “Hurry and get your makeup removed.”
“OK,” Herman pushed open the door of the waiting room as the three boys from K&G walked around him.
Herman did not give their actions a second thought as he sat down in front of the mirror and allowed the makeup artist to remove the light makeup he had on his face.
Not long after, some urgent footsteps echoed through the corridors of the backstage accompanied by chatter. Herman’s manager tried to talk with the people that had gathered outside the waiting room but failed as a loud knock was heard on the door.
The makeup artist put down the makeup remover bottle in her hands and went to open the door. 4 policemen stepped inside.
“You…”
“We received a report that an artist named Lafayette has been involved with marijuana usage, so we rushed over immediately. Which one of you is Lafayette?”
Herman was a little surprised, but he quickly realized what was happening as he glared at the three impulsive youngsters.
“That’s him!” Heath yelled as he pointed at Herman. “Go search through his backpack. We witnessed it with our own eyes!”
“We have no past grudges, why would you slander me like this?” Herman asked. At this moment, his manager approached him confusedly and asked, “What’s happening here?”
“They are slandering me and claiming that I take drugs. They even called the police!” Herman said in a cold tone.
“Slander? Just like you said yourself, we have no past grudges, why would we slander you? Officers, arrest him! At this stage, you should be honest!” exclaimed one of the gold-haired boys called Rambo as he pointed to Herman arrogantly.
“Lafayette, tell me honestly, is this true?” his manager asked.
“No,” Herman replied firmly without hesitation, “They can do a drug test on me at any time…”
“Just because you don’t smoke it, doesn’t mean you’re not in possession of it,” Rambo added. “It’s in his backpack. If you don’t believe me, you should search it.”
Herman looked angrily at the three boys. He then looked at his backpack and handed it straight to the police, “Search it if you want. I’m innocent anyway.”
The police received the backpack and emptied out the contents in front of everyone. But, apart from Herman’s usual personal items, there were no signs of any drugs.
More and more people gathered around to see what was happening. Amongst them, many famous celebrities quickly realized Herman had been framed.
But…
…there was nothing in his backpack…
Everyone looked at the pile of items on the floor. Meanwhile, a confused exp**ssion swept across the three boys; how could there be nothing?
“Where’s the marijuana you spoke of?” Herman’s manager stepped up and spoke for him. “I am going to contact your boss. If Ice Age Entertainment don’t give Lafayette an official explanation, I will report this to our President and let Mr. Roborts handle it.”
The three boys obviously did not expect this result as their faces changed from arrogance to guilt.
“This was all a misunderstanding. Just a misunderstanding…” the three boys suddenly changed their attitude as they spoke politely to the police and Herman’s manager, “We misunderstood Lafayette…”
“Since I was searched, I think it’s only fair if they got searched too,” Herman suggested to the police.
“Who are you kidding? We’ve never touched that kind of stuff!”
Everyone looked at the three boys, including the police…
