Chapter 3180

Trying to sweep away the embarrassment, she forced a smile and clarified, "Though you're nolonger under Starling Media, I still regard you as my junior and will never forget our friendship.”"Oh, is that so?" she asked nonchalantly.

Giving the woman the side-eye, Megan fell silent, she didn't feel like entertaining her.

"I can do nothing if you insist on deceiving yourself"

A ruckus broke out among the crowd at her blunt words.

This time, Jacinta could no longer hold in her shame and indignation, tilting her head to glare at thewoman's face.

Her fingers quivered with rage as she whispered in Megan's ear, "If you ever refute me again, you'llbe as good as dead once you get off the stage"

Listening to the woman's threatening ultimatum, Megan's lashes fluttered slightly, but herexpression remained composed and unflinching.

Jacinta is here with an ulterior motive.She'll never relent unless her goal is achieved.

All I can do now is to go with the flow.

In front of the stage, the reporters caught their subtle interaction clearly.

Some audacious ones snapped a few photos of it.

Other than the clicking sound of the camera, the entire venue was in an awkward silence.

The situation put the host in a tight spot, as he was supposed to lighten the atmosphere.

The man shot pleading glances at the director and Kelly, but they didn't give him any response.There's nothing else I can do now.

Exasperated, the host stepped forward and squared his shoulders.

"Ahem! Anyway, Transcendent is one of the most anticipated TV series.Today's launch event iscoming to an end..."

"Ah!"

Before he finished speaking, a shriek suddenly sounded on the stage.

Startled, everyone turned to look in its direction and saw Jacinta fall off the stage.Her long, whitedress could hardly cover her body.

"Hurry! Help Jacinta up now!" someone shouted.

The situation turned chaotic as everyone rushed to swarm around her.

Some reporters tried to pick her up and screamed for help, while some took photos of it eagerly forthe headline, pushing against one another.

The launch event turned as rowdy as a wet market.

Other than Francesca and Megan, everybody on stage dashed over to give them a hand.

In the meantime, Megan stood rooted to her spot in silence.

How did Jacinta fall off the stage so suddenly? She was totally fine just now, standing right here...Could it be.

With her eyes fixed on Jacinta, she seemed to have wrapped her head around something, and herexpression hardened.

"Jacinta, how did you fall all of a sudden? You've gotten me into trouble!"

Steven had been taciturn throughout the launch event.

Irritation spiked within his heart as he stared at her aggrieved face.

"Mr.Hayes, I..."

Later, Jacinta was being carried to backstage, looking all weak and fragile.

In order to avoid being interviewed, all the actors and the crew of Transcendent trailed behind her.Everyone cramped into the small backstage, each sunk in thoughts.

" swear I didn't mean to ruin the event."

Sitting on a chair, Jacinta appeared mournful. Her narrow shoulders trembled uncontrollably."Mr.Hayes, I came only to support you.I believe you know I'm truly grateful for you, so I came upwith this reason...But I didn't expect Megan to humiliate me publicly.She even..."

Her voice trailed off.

Biting her lower lips, she stared intently at Megan, obviously implying something.

Everyone present was no fool, and they could no doubt read between the lines.

Steven's countenance fell, and the man turned his head around to glance at the quiet and calmwoman.

"Megan, did you push Jacinta?”

In an instant, all eyes landed on her.

Holding their breath, they waited for her answer.

In a split second, she swiftly denied, "I didn't."

Megan cast an impassive glance at Jacinta, whose gaze was full of smugness.

No matter how /I explain myself, I can never get everyone to believe in me, just like the incidentbetween me and Mia the other day.
