“Fine.” After speaking, Elder Roberts turned to the staff member in charge of counting the votes and said, “Cancel my vote.”
It seemed, everyone expected Elder Roberts to vote for Emma. But, surprisingly, Emma’s votes did not change, instead the actresses in 1st and 2nd place were effected.
Elder Roberts had given his vote to someone else – not Emma!
“What else do you guys have to say?”
Everyone fell silent, including the man that had requested Elder Roberts to cancel his vote. Since a new result had been decided on, it was only right for everyone to accept it.
“Since no one has anything to say, then the final nomination list has been set.”
A portion of the people in the room were indifferent about the results, but those that disliked Emma scoffed to themselves. So what if her name made it on the final list? The results showed that Emma had received the least amount of votes. Even so, a small amount was better than no amount…
The next group of judges were expected to be stricter than the first and no one could stand in their way. So, Elder Roberts was no longer worried about Emma. In reality, after Kaleidoscope’s PR released their statement, the public had already accepted the possibly that Emma would receive an award. After all, Emma’s capability was obvious…
All Kaleidoscope had to do was emphasize Emma’s capability and any doubts would be quickly dispersed.
The final result was an achievement bet**en the grandfather and his grandson. One man did everything for his wife, while the other did it for his granddaughter-in-law. For the sake of their family member and lover, they were willing to give their all.
Of course, they simply helped Emma achieve a fair chance. After all, even though Emma had their support and protection, their relationship also created a lot of doubt.
Emma was obviously a great actress…
For the sake of creating a great film, she put in more effort than everyone else!
But, because of her relationship with Kaleidoscope and the fact that she was the wife of Eric, everyone also had higher expectations for her…
Turquoise had been eliminated!
Even though Turquoise knew the results, there was nothing she could do. It was impossible to bribe the judges, so all she could do was slander Emma to create dislike towards her. But, in the end, she lost to Emma by one vote.
That night, Turquoise sat at home sulking to her husband, “Hubby, I can’t accept this result. I’ve already been the female lead in 5 films and it wasn’t easy for me to get this opportunity. How could Emma compare when she’s only been in two films?”
“Emma is, after all, our business partner. You shouldn’t mind too much.”
“She is your business partner, not mine. Plus, Old Man Xylander, your daughter tried to threaten me earlier. She said she was going to side with Emma. Could your daughter have influenced the result in some way?”
Just as Turquoise was sulking, Quenlyn appeared from upstairs and looked coldly at the two people in the living room, “You are younger than my father by 25 years, please don’t r*b yourself all over him – it’s disgusting!”
“You…”
“Quenlyn, how could you speak to your mother like that?” Father Xylander’s icy cold voice resonated through the room, “Did you do anything behind-the-scenes to cause your mother to be eliminated?”
“I’m sure you both know what type of person Emma is. If she wants something, then everyone has no choice but to make way for her,” Quenlyn laughed. “Luckily, I get along quite well with Emma. It seems, I may need to hang around with her a bit more often. That way I can learn how to rid my home of evil energy.”
After speaking, Quenlyn turned to leave. However, Father Xylander immediately stood up and roared, “Stay right there!”
Quenlyn heard him clearly, but she did not look back. At this time, Father Xylander suddenly ran up behind her and punched her in the back, around her hip area.
Violence…
…was sometimes synonymous with this family.
Meanwhile, Turquoise stood watching with her arms crossed and laughed loudly…
Quenlyn lay on the icy cold floor, but her stubborn nature refused to plead for mercy. After standing up, she simply returned to her bedroom.
She believed that karma existed in this world and a cheap person was bound to be eventually dealt with by God.
…
It didn’t take long before all the nomination lists for the Sky Honor Awards were released to the public. Emma’s name was, of course, amongst these lists.
Afterwards, the amusing incident with Elder Roberts being asked to cancel his vote was spread around like a joke. Of course, this was proof that Elder Roberts had not been bias. In fact, to avoid doubt, he had no intention to vote for Emma whatsoever. It also proved that his request for the votes to be reviewed was indeed an objective decision and wasn’t a subjective request.
Emma had entered the final 5!
But, it hadn’t been an easy path to take. So, how was actually receiving the award going to be like?
Seeing Emma’s name on the nomination list, quite a few people immediately called to congratulate her. Amongst these people, was Flossie.
Although Emma didn’t have much to say to her, she still treated her politely out of courtesy.
“Emma, I am truly happy for you.”
“Thank you,” Emma replied in a distant manner. Even though they had once been friends, because of Herman, they had drifted further and further apart.
“Errr…would you happen to have news about Lafayette?” Flossie asked, even though she had a feeling that Emma would not tell her.
“Flossie, stop thinking about someone that has already left. Focus on your own life,” Emma replied straightforwardly. “I know you feel guilty, but, you really don’t need to.”
“Emma…to be honest, I still like him.” Flossie may have gathered all her courage to reveal this, but to Herman, these words had come too late. “I never thought he’d react so seriously. It was beyond my expectations…”
“He has always been a serious person, you should know this. But, a part of your heart has always been with someone else, so you’ve never been certain,” Emma directly exposed Flossie’s true thoughts. “Flossie, what’s passed is in the past…”
“You’re right. What’s passed is in the past. I simply wanted to notify you that I’m getting engaged.”
“In that case, congratulations.”
She was already getting engaged, yet she was calling to reveal that she had another man in her heart. Emma could not understand Flossie’s views on love.
“Thank you. I know you don’t want to hear my voice right now. Sorry to have bothered you, Emma.”
“It’s fine. I wish you happiness,” Emma said, before she hung up the phone.
Emma knew the situation bet**en the three people clearly. Because of this, she did not want Herman to be dragged back into the messy web of love. He had been hurt by Jemma once and hurt by Flossie once, wasn’t that already enough of a lesson?
Even so, Emma still decided to give Herman a phone call, “Flossie is getting engaged. I felt that you should know about this.”
“Sister Three, I am a lot better now. I’ll return in a couple days. It’s only right for me to go to her engagement party and congratulate her in person,” Herman replied calmly.
“It’s your choice,” Emma could clearly tell that there wasn’t an ounce of sadness in Herman’s voice. Perhaps, he had truly dragged himself out of the dep**ssing swamp of love.
“OK.”
“You should take someone with you. You are, after all, the Fourth Master of the Miller Family. Don’t let others look down on you,” Emma thoughtfully reminded.
“I understand.”
After Herman hung up the phone, he immediately contacted Flossie. This was something that Flossie had never expected. Especially since Herman’s voice appeared extremely calm, “Congratulations, my sister told me you’re getting engaged.”
“Are you…coming back to New York?” Flossie asked with complex emotions.
“Yes,” Herman nodded. “Regardless of everything that’s happened, you indeed helped me in the past. I will never forget what you’ve done for me. So, I will definitely attend your engagement.”
“Great, I’ll see you then.”
