MasukAs squeals rang around the stadium, Tanya held Charlie's hand just like Charlie did, their fingers interlocked as they walked to the front of the stage.The cameras all captured Tanya's face and projected it on the screen, showing her cute shyness as she held her skirt like an embarrassed bride.Tanya had always been bold and charismatic on stage, her fashion scintillating.And yet, she was now a modest maiden—a completely different person from how she was!Holding Charlie's hand, she finished her verse, and Quinn came up as she reached the last line, and they finished it together.With that, the song was supposed to be done, and Quinn would be thanking the fans at the end of her guest performance.Naturally, no one could have expected that once Tanya finished the song, she suddenly stood on her toes and kissed the lips on Charlie's mask!While the mask was solid, it was getting warm after he wore it for minutes.Hence, it felt like there was just a thin layer between his lips
While the audience was still watching behind-the-scenes videos of Tanya and Quinn rehearsing, Charlie and Quinn had reached the elevator.This time, he would go up the stage with Quinn, clad in full armor, a mask, and a sword in his right hand. Quinn, in her flowing traditional dress, stood by his side, holding his hand with their fingers interlocked.As the prelude of the song began, the crew quickly told them, "Get ready! Going up in three, two, one!"With that, the lift rapidly rose, sending both of them straight onto the stage.At that moment, the huge screens became a backdrop of Mount Solis' paradise-like scenes—a breeze brushing through a clearing filled with flowers and butterflies.Then, Quinn, who never had any celebrity gossip, was suddenly on stage, holding hands with an armor-clad man.Many Oskian fans familiar with her were hence surprised, as Quinn had never even been linked to any relationship speculation, but now there she was, clad in a traditional dress, hold
Having no choice, Tanya could only fight back the blazing impulse in her heart, and soon redirected her focus on sharing the stage with Charlie.She suddenly had a bold thought—using her performance as an excuse, she could declare her love for Charlie in front of thousands of fans in this stadium, and even across the globe!Charlie was himself not worried about Tanya, his eyes glued to Quinn on the stage who was completely focused on singing.Even as he watched, he couldn't help but be impressed by Quinn's performance, as she always did, especially in front of Tanya's fans, an international superstar. The composure to neither overperform nor underperform definitely set her apart from the rest.At that moment, Charlie couldn't help seeing Quinn as more than his baby sister, but a strong, independent woman who was one in a million.Beside him, Tanya couldn't help being envious. She could see that while Charlie was good to his wife, he also spoiled Quinn rotten and she had an impor
The atmosphere in the concert hall was charged—having two top artists from two different ends of the earth was as unprecedented as it was delightful.When they finished their duet, Tanya took Quinn's hand as they walked together center stage and bowed to the crowd.Smiling, she said, "Now, I'm leaving you with Quinn—do enjoy her charming songs."With that, she gave Quinn a quick hug, and walked to the elevator which brought her below stage, while the dozens of thousands of fans applauded.While Quinn started singing her first solo song that night, Tanya reached the bottom beneath the stage and her crew promptly flocked around her.They were all sweating buckets because of the opening blunder, especially the technical crew responsible, unsure of what Tanya would do to them.The stage director and the prop manager were the first there, watching her nervously and guiltily.The stage director then said, "Sorry, Ms. Sweet—it was my oversight and I didn't catch the issue before it hap
Tanya and her crew were all sighing in relief, and even more surprised that such a huge mishap didn't affect the concert at all!Charlie was relieved too, as he couldn't help seeing Tanya in a new light now.Her personal life aside, her music was peerless and her songwriting memorable, which was why she always topped the Billboard charts around the globe.And over the hour-long performance, she never took breaks, each song followed by another with the dozens of thousands of fans singing along, livening up the atmosphere.Soon, it was time for Quinn's appearance, and she was already ready and waiting on the elevator.After her last song, Tanya started with her signature song Romeo, and the crowd cheered immediately from the prelude. They all fell for Tanya because of it, and it was definitely her breakout song.Still, as she finished her first verse, she spoke into the mic, "It's an honor to be here in Eastcliff and performing for everyone! And just for today, I've brought a spe
The stage director thought Tanya was still love-struck over Trevor and cried out in panic, "The man is Stateside! His grace ain't reaching you!"Tanya still wasn't worried at all, instead calmly saying, "Just do as I say. I'll get through this!"The stage director was himself helpless, since the wire had already been cut—whether the screen tilted forward or backward, they couldn't be sure that Tanya was safe.It was indeed dangerous to continue as planned, but there was still a chance of perfectly executing their planned entrance.Hence, the stage director decided to bet on Tanya right then. "Just be safe. Hold on to the truss at all cost, and by the later half you'd be much safer…" he advised, and soon quickly added, "Also, remember not to stand up while the screen is coming down. Lean firming only the truss and you'll be the safest. Stand, and the risk will be high."Tanya completely ignored that.She knew that since Charlie wouldn't allow her performance to be affected at al
"AI?!" Keith didn't know much about AI since he had just recovered from a serious illness, but Christian and Kaeden had a deep understanding of the trends in various industries around the world. As a detective, Merlin had been exposed to high-tech equipment, so he knew a little something about AI to
The moment Helena saw Charlie, she beamed brightly, her happiness and joy beyond words. She looked up at Charlie's handsome face and greeted him shyly, "Hello, Mr. Wade! Nice to see you again." With a light smile, Charlie said sincerely, "Helena, I really appreciate you coming all the way from North
Royce hastily began, "Sir, my name is Royce Rothschild, the eldest grandson of Harrison Rothschild, the current patriarch of the family—" He then gestured at Julien and continued, "This is my father, Julien Rothschild, my grandfather's eldest son." Charlie glanced at the two men and drew a breath in
Naturally, neither Mr. Bay nor Hal argued with this, thus following Albert and Jacob to the Diamond Room—the grandest room of Heaven Springs.After Albert led the trio there and smiled, "Gentlemen, if you would please take your seats, my people will be delivering Big Red Robe tea and our menu to yo
