Chapter 1777 Queenie Gave Birth to a Boy
“There should be some backdoor dealings behind this. There’s no way she could earn this award if not through connections,” Lisa hissed through gritted teeth.
At that exact moment, nervousness filled Jessie’s heart. However, when Julian slid her palm into his, she calmed down under his touch. She was suddenly filled with overwhelming certainty that she could take things head-on with him by her side.
When the pair stood at the center of the stage, their mere presence practically revealed to the world that they were undoubtedly a perfect couple. The audience couldn’t help but agree that they were the ideal match made for each other.
“Jessie, would you mind sharing what’s on your mind right now? Are you happy? Are you surprised to hear you won the award?” The hostess walked over to them and asked cheerily.
Jessie took over the microphone and nodded naturally. “Yes, I’m indeed both thrilled and surprised. I’ve never considered winning an award when I came to attend the ceremony.”
“But your movie ranked the highest-grossing film of the year. So, you should’ve made a mental preparation for winning an award tonight,” the host pressed.
“I never gave it more than a passing thought. After all, the movie only became a success mainly due to the director, the team behind it, and all the other staff involved in the movie.” Once she answered, the host directed their attention at Julian and asked, “Julian, what about you? What’s your favorite moment on the stage?”
“The best moment will be nothing but standing by Miss Silverstein’s side when she receives the award.” Julian didn’t hesitate to answer.
The host let out a chuckle before teasing, “It seems like winning the award yourself is second to accompanying Miss Silverstein to receive the award on your list.”
The envious eyes of the audience were glued to Jessie. The best actor, Julian, made it clear that he was merely her companion on the stage tonight. Therefore, her most outstanding achievement tonight was never getting an award but having him by her side for the rest of her life.
Heat rushed to her face, and she pursed her cherry-red lips at his words. However, before she could dwell on it, the hostess shot another question at her, “Miss Silverstein, may I ask, do you have any plans for the future?”
Jessie got lost in a train of thought but couldn’t think of a satisfactory answer. Then, she turned to Julian on the side to seek his help, only to see the man smiling at her. “Isn’t it getting married?”
