After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457

"Mrs. Maskelyne ... No ... I'm just afraid it will affect your speech."
Fay was so incoherent she didn't know what she was saying.
The heavily made-up face was white and ghastly, and in the light she looked like a stunt performer who had just run out of a horror movie.
"Miss Young, I don't want to waste time talking some crap to you here."
Sylvia let out a chuckle, her bright face shining, elegantly looking at Fay , "I advise you to be careful with your words if you still wanna work in the entertainment industry. I will let you off this time. I hope you remember what I said in the future."
When she finished, she turned around and walked over to Poppy, took the young girl's hand and sat down in her seat.
Fay just felt like she was losing her face.
Her face turned red and white.
She lowered her head in frustration and went to her seat.
For a while she just felt like the people around her were still laughing at her.
But ...
The truth was that everyone was looking toward the center of the stage.
The awards ceremony was extraordinarily lively, with awards being claimed one by one by various filmmakers and TV series producers.
Some were happy while some were sad.
Almost everyone held their breath when the Best Newcomer Award in Movies was announced.
Poppy was a little nervous. It was her first film and she naturally hoped she would do well.
The male host came on stage and said in a loud voice, "Dear guests, just now the Best Newcomer Award in TV series has been claimed, and who will be the final winner of our Best Newcomer Award in Movies?"
"Next, please take a look through the big screen to see the finalists..."
The hostess' voice echoed, "Wedding tells the miserable life of an ancient woman!"
"Unfinished is about those shady developers!"
"Top Idol's Trash Picking up! These days even idols are picking up trash. They set a good example for us, so let's start protecting the environment."
"Life! It can be as brilliant as a spark, or as dark as an abyss."
The big screen kept showing the clips of these shortlisted movies, and the clips showed the shots of the newcomers inside.
Clips about Poppy were also played.
After these images were shown one by one, the male host said, "These shortlisted films were voted on by millions of viewers from Twitter and from the voting channel on Golden Cattle TV. Here we have the film industry's great three-time movie star Robin to reveal ..."
Robin Martin walked on stage in a black suit, then took the envelope from the lady and opened it calmly.
After opening it, he smiled faintly, "Poppy."
Poppy stood up in surprise, not expecting the Best Newcomer Award to be presented to her.
She excitedly walked up to the podium and received the trophy from Robin.
She had just resumed her seat when the next award was the Best Supporting Actress.
When "Top Idol's Trash Picking up" appeared on the big screen again, everyone was shocked.
A small newcomer was shortlisted for two awards.
Though it wasn't the much-anticipated best actress award, it was surprising enough.
Fay stared at Poppy with some jealousy. She believed Poppy could won awards just because of her family background and her ability to seduce men.
Or those judges would not even spare a look at her.
She acted just like that, and simply did not deserve to win the award.
She was secretly jealous and looked at Annie not far away. Annie had been in a competitive relationship with Poppy, and the two of them had entered the circle almost at the same time and were nominated for Best Supporting Actress almost at the same time.
Annie was beautiful, while Poppy looked pure and innocent. Compared to Poppy, Annie could fit into more types of movies.
She curled her lips and said to her agent, "Tell Annie about Poppy's good relationship with the judges."
The agent was shocked. "It's not good, is it? As you can see, Sylvia, she ..."
'It's obvious that she is very protective of Poppy!'
'Is it really a good idea to look for trouble?'
'Maybe she will bring this on herself in the end.'
'Does she forget she still works in Maskelyne Entertainment?'
"As long as you do it unobtrusively, no one will think that we revealed it to her. Besides, there are really very few secrets in the circle."
Fay smiled smugly. Today she lost face in public, so of course she gotta retaliate.
She couldn't pick fights with Sylvia.
But fighting against Poppy, the young lady that no one cared, was a piece of cake.
"Then ... OK." The agent immediately went to work on getting all the dirt on Poppy's good relationship with the judges.
And at this time on the stage, Poppy was competing for the Best Supporting Actress Award with an actress named Hope Barnes.
She was confident in winning it, because she had bribed all the judges.
This time, the Best Supporting Actress Award was hers!
Poppy's Best Newcomer Award was not as significant as her Supporting Actress Award.
When the camera swept to her, she always kept a charming smile on her face. She had been in the circle for several years, with good acting skills, but she received no awards. Every time the play she played a role in was popular but she did not get much popularity. This time she would spare no effort to get the award!
She and Poppy was the same types both in looks and body shapes, and that was what annoyed her the most.
There were several streams of light hitting each of the shortlisted actresses in the face.
Poppy had won a newcomer award, so she had less expectations, after all ... she didn't expect this miracle to happen.
The male host's voice rang out, "Hope Barnes."
Hope had a smile on her face and was about to stand up and embrace the assistant director beside her, but the male host smiled faintly at her, "You are particularly beautiful tonight, but sorry, you should continue working hard next year."
Hope was instantly at a loss, and the light that had been shining on her face was instantly dimmed.
In a trance, she heard the male host say that the Best Supporting Actress award went to Poppy.
Her head went blank. Why? They were the same type, but Poppy won the awards. Wasn't it just because Poppy was a few years younger than her?
So she deserved to win the Best Newcomer Award?
She would be considered old in this circle in another two years, and she would not be able to win this award anymore.
She knew it was hard to get the Best Actress Award. Now she could not even get the Best Newcomer Award.
Those few male judges promised her they would help her get the award when she had sex with them one by one...
Why?
Hope sat there in despair as she quietly left the lively awards scene.
And Fay was shocked too!
A newcomer won two awards?
It was so irritating!
Annie was also angry.
In order to get the award, Poppy was simply shameless. She was the female lead of 'Top Idol's Trash Picking up', but competed with them for the supporting actress award.
What a joke!
Were these judges blind?
Poppy was clearly the female lead.
But she competed for the supporting actress award. Clearly, it was because the competition was less fierce.
