The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1779

It was the film festival day, and all of the stars had gathered.

Although I was unable to be there in person, I was quite comfortable watching the live broadcast at home.

It was stated that the live broadcast would start at about eight o'clock, so I prepared some desserts and fruits to eat while I watched it later.

At the same time, in order to have someone to share this moment with, I called Jerome over.

When he saw the food on the table, there was obvious disdain on his face. "This is it?

I thought I'd be having a feast."

"The feast will happen a little later. Xander

must've gone to the film festival as well since he's the big shot behind the scenes. Since you're alone, rather than being bored at home, let's watch it together. Plus, I told Xander to come right over once he’s done to celebrate." The smile on my face never faded.

That was right. I was incredibly excited about this and also looking forward to it.

Jerome looked at me, shook his head helplessly, and sat down. "Are you really sure that it'll be a success? What if..."

"No, no! There are no what ifs."

I believed in Theo and in Grant Corporation's strength. This film festival would definitely be a success.

In a flash, it was eight o'clock. I quickly turned the TV on and switched over to the movie channel.

The big screen showed the grand occasion of the film festival. There were red carpets and fresh flowers. Everything looked so beautiful.

If one were at the scene, it would surely be more visually impactful.

After just a few seconds of feeling regretful, I continued to be engrossed by the TV. At the moment, various stars were walking on the red carpet while surrounded by reporters and media on both sides. There were the sounds of cameras clicking and greetings all around.

Theo and Nicky had walked past the red carpet, and the next person to come forth was Xander. "Look, it's your Xander.”

"How handsome."

Jerome's face was full of pride as if he was praising himself.

I merely shook my head helplessly. The next broadcast was about the process of going to the film festival, and I found it to be somewhat boring. Jerome was right. The system was behind the scenes, so we had no way of knowing whether it was successful or not. Hence, we could only wait for Theo to come back.

Jerome and I nearly fell asleep as we watched the broadcast. It was not only when the host’s voice suddenly became louder on the TV that we finally regained our senses. "The film festival has ended perfectly tonight, and we'd like to thank..."

I rubbed my eyes and tried to wake myself up more. "It's ending, I have to hurry up and get ready.”

After standing up, I walked toward the kitchen. I quickly halted when I heard the voice of the host on the TV...
