All Her Secrets

Chapter 1021 Mockery

Kim decided he had to confront the organizers. He couldn't stand the way they were treating Audrey.

Seeing Kim so furious, Audrey quickly stopped him. "Forget it, Kim. The press conference is only an hour long. I can actually take a rest for a bit here." She found a corner where the cameras usually didn't reach, so she didn't have to worry about unflattering photos being taken. She never cared much about seating arrangements; she was content whether she got a middle seat or not.

Kim was exasperated by her attitude but had to let her have her way. "Fine." He shook his head.

Audrey advised Kim not to get angry and then quietly played on her phone.

When Lina arrived and saw Audrey sitting in the corner, she felt a surge of superiority. She sauntered over to Audrey with a smug look. "Audrey, how come you're seated here today? My seat is in the front row. Do you want me to talk to the organizers and move you up?"

Audrey looked up, glanced at her, and politely said, "No, thanks." Then, she turned her attention back to her phone, ignoring Lina.

Lina was irked by Audrey's dismissive attitude and scoffed. "Stop being so arrogant. Everyone knows these events are all about popularity. You're just a D-list celebrity. I don't see why you're acting all high and mighty."

Kim, overhearing this, was furious and wanted to lash out at Lina. Once she left, he tumed to Audrey, criticizing her, "See? This is what happens when you don't stand up for yourself. People start mocking you. How dare she say that to you?"

Compared to Kim, Audrey was much more composed. She looked up at him with a slight smile. "Like you said, she's way below me in status. So why bother with what she says?" Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

Kim felt both relieved and frustrated by Audrey's personality. He was comforted that Audrey managed to stay true to herself amidst the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. However, her laid-back demeanor wasn't exactly cut out for the cutthroat world of showbiz, where a slight misstep could render someone a nobody.

After Lina took her seat in the front row, she didn't stop talking about Audrey, belittling her in every way possible. Led by Lina, several people joined in to taunt Audrey. They were of lower status than Audrey, yet it was clear that Audrey had somehow offended the organizers to be relegated to such a sidelined position.

Kim was upset by the mocking glances directed at them. It had been a long time since he felt so humiliated, ready to confront them. But with Audrey not giving the go-ahead, he felt incredibly passive. He kept hinting at Audrey to say something, but she was engrossed in her phone.

"Audrey." A sudden voice caught her attention. She looked up to see a friend standing not far ahead, followed by a crowd.

William, what are you doing here?" Audrey exclaimed.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

William Rossen hurried over to Audrey, his previously cold face breaking into a warm smile." Audrey, can't believe I can see you here. I thought I was mistaken!"
