After that, more people leaped to their feet excitedly.
Most of them were A-list celebrities who rose to fame internationally after playing their acting roles in Morpheus' masterpiece.
The rest were Morpheus' fans.
Everyone was craning their neck, waiting for the revelation of the mysterious author's identity.
Artemis, who was in the VIP section, furrowed his brows instinctively.
Has the famous author, Morpheus, come to Hallsbay? And the author even plans to show up at the Oscars? Why did I not know about it?
Instantly, his interest in the mysterious author was piqued.
How interesting!
In the southeast area, Rainie, who had just received the Best Actress trophy, reached out to poke Bailey's arm and said with a grin, “Everyone is waiting for you to go up to the stage. Why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and go.”
Bailey cocked her brow. “How did you know it's me?”
Rainie flashed a smile. “You're Master Snowflake and Anonymous. So why can't you be Morpheus as well? I wouldn't believe it if it were someone else, but if it is you, I think everyone here will be convinced.”
What a smart woman.
Bailey glanced sideways at her and teased, “Sylvester definitely has a good eye.”
The smile on Rainie's face stiffened at the mention of Sylvester's name.
Bailey curled her lips into a smirk and got up before striding toward the stage.
When she walked past one of the staff members, she snatched the microphone from his hand.
Then, a cool female voice rang out in the square.
“I wrote 'The Alliance' five years ago, 'The Rise of the Planet' four years ago, and 'Men VS Machines' three years ago. Then, my masterpiece, 'Time Warp,' came out two years ago. As soon as it was published, it was well-received both nationally and internationally.” Bailey smiled. “Hi, everyone. I'm Morpheus. As always, thank you for your support and encouragement. I've learned a lot during this journey, and because of your never-changing support, our Chanaean culture has gone global.”
Utter silence followed.
Countless people searched for the source of that voice in a sea of people. Before long, their gazes landed on the slender figure standing near the stage.
“It's Bailey Jefferson. She's Ms. Morpheus, whom we have admired for years.”
“It's her; it's her. I wouldn't believe it if it were someone else, but if it's Bailey Jefferson, I'll believe it unconditionally.”
“Ms. Bailey is as awesome as ever. Oh, my goodness. What should I do? I love her so much. No, no. I need to talk my brother into pursuing her and making her my sister-in-law.”
“Goodness gracious! How many prominent identities does this woman have? She's so perfect and capable; she puts us to shame.”
“Is there any man in this world who can be worthy of such a brilliant woman?”
The look of astonishment in Artemis' eyes gradually faded, and he cracked a slight smile.
I should've known this would happen. This woman is so capable. It's not surprising that she has yet another remarkable identity. Hmm, but she's too perfect. How can I match up with her? To be honest, I'm now a little worried that I'm not good enough for her. Alas, it's not that good to have such a capable wife. It's a shame that she outshines me.
Meanwhile, Bailey was just about to go up the stage when the winner of the Oscars' Best Actor walked up to her with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. With a blush creeping up his neck, he asked, “Are you really Ms. Morpheus?”
The young man was taken aback for a moment. After it finally sunk in, a hint of respect flashed across his eyes. “You're a mature, far-sighted person. No wonder you can write those splendid and magnificent books. It's my honor to portray a character created by you.”
With that, he took back the flowers he handed to her and carefully carried them in his arms. “After you.”
Bailey arched her brow and smiled.
What a smart young man. He has a razor-sharp mind. He deserves his fame as the most influential rising star of the year.
After Bailey went on the stage, Susan dashed toward her mother and threw herself into Bailey's arms.
Bailey's eyes radiated with motherly love as she hugged Susan back.
The young man gave the flowers to Susan smilingly. “Barbara, you rock. I look forward to future collaboration with you.”
Susan blinked and looked up at the young man, grinning from ear to ear. “Are you Elliot Sawyer? You look even more handsome than you do on the screen. Can I marry you when I grow up?”
Since Susan was wearing a headset microphone, everyone at the square heard what she said.
Artemis' expression turned grim instantly.
Elliot Sawyer! How dare that pretty boy target my daughter after failing to hit on my woman! Very well! I'll have him kicked out right away after the ceremony.
Elliot stroked Susan's hair and shoved the flowers in her hands before turning on his heel to leave the stage.
This glorious moment belongs to the mother and daughter, and I don't want to intrude.
