Chapter 4

The host looked surprised. "Ms. Sherwood, are you going to call Mr. Fisher too?"

"That's right."

The livestream chat exploded.

[What? Is she crazy? This is too much.]

[Haha, just let it be. I actually want to see if she can get through to him.]

[Is she really going to call someone's husband right in front of his wife? She's so bold. Are celebrities really this desperate for attention these days?]

Lily put on a hurt expression but still pretended to be understanding. "Crystal, when did you meet Hugo? Was it the last time you came to my house? The day you took that picture of Simon?"

[So that's what happened. This is why you should never casually bring someone into your home. They might take advantage of you.]

[I don't understand. Why would Mr. Fisher give another woman his contact information?]

[The other woman is clearly the problem. If the woman you love brings a friend home and keeps asking you for your number, how could you say no? This woman is basically slapping Lily in the face. It also shows how much Mr. Fisher cares about Lily.]

[Exactly. This woman has no shame.]

Lily kept up her victim act, her eyes turning red. "Crystal and I may have very different public images, but I've always thought of her as a good friend in private. So please stop criticizing her. I understand her situation. After all, she really needs the attention right now."

Her words instantly made me look like a backstabbing friend.

The viewers started attacking me nonstop.

Even the staff on set looked at me with disgust.

I couldn't be bothered to explain.

I opened WhatsApp and called Hugo. It rang for 30 seconds, but no one answered.

I didn't give up. I called his private number too. This time, the call wouldn't even go through. His phone was turned off.

The viewers got even more excited.

[She's hilarious. Did she just make up a second account, save some random name, and tell us it's Mr. Fisher?]

[It has to be. Otherwise, why would she dare call him right in front Princess Lily?]

[Do you know why she's brave enough to do this? Because she heard Princess Lily say Mr. Fisher is in a meeting. If the call doesn't go through, she can just use that as an excuse.]

[She's so sneaky.]

Lily looked at me with a mocking smile before pretending to give me some friendly advice. "Crystal, as your good friend, I have to tell you something. You should focus on improving your acting. Stop trying to ride someone else's popularity. It won't get you anywhere. You'll regret it when you get older."

I was so angry I almost swore at her.

Then my phone buzzed.

It was a message from Hugo. "Baby, I'm here. You have to make our relationship public today, no matter what. Otherwise, I'm bringing Sunny onstage and causing a scene."

Just then, a staff member hurried over and whispered something into the host's ear.

The host immediately smiled and raised her microphone. "The director just gave me some exciting news..."

She paused.

Then she gave Lily a meaningful look before continuing. "A mysterious guest has arrived to support one of our guests today."

The viewers were stunned.

Then the comments started flying.

[What? Did Mr. Fisher really come here to support Princess Lily?]

[Maybe! I just saw pictures of him getting off a plane.]

[Oh my God, this is so sweet!]

[Someone is done for. Mr. Fisher must have seen someone bullying Lily and rushed here immediately.]

Lily looked surprised too. She nervously twisted her fingers. "It can't be him, right? He should still be overseas!"

The moment she finished speaking, Hugo and Sunny appeared on the other side of the stage.

Hugo was dressed in a suit, holding Sunny's leash. The moment they appeared, the whole studio erupted.

Sunny caught my scent and immediately tried to break free from Hugo's grip and run toward me.

At the same time, Lily jumped to her feet and happily ran toward Sunny with her arms open. "Simon! What are you doing here? I've missed you so much!"
