Chapter 55 Do You Have a Twin Brother?

Jonathan was heading backstage under the protection of several bodyguards. Kelly only caught sight of his fading back, but it was enough to get her hyped up.

Ever since the last time, Kelly had persisted with her dream of making it to the top, promising herself that she would approach Jonathan again once she got first place in the competition.

She wanted to leave him a lasting impression, after all. Meanwhile, Kelly forgot entirely about the participant’s name list on the screen, and so did not see when Rose’s name changed from gray to red.

Evan had just gotten off his plane at the Aquastead International Airport when he called Rose’s number. He’d taken an emergency flight to Finterra and saw the viral news online involving Rose.

Many of his calls to her had gone unanswered, until this one.

“Where are you, Rose? What happened? Are …are you okay?” Evan asked worriedly.

Rose leaned against her seat, wincing as her injury flared with pain.

“I’m okay. I’m on my way to the competition site.”

Her weak tone made Evan worry even more.

“Rose, I’m making sure the hate news online is being suppressed. For some reason, I can’t help but feel like you’ve made some enemies who are intentionally using this situation to ruin your reputation…”

News online?

Rose opened up her phone. Hashtags screamed in her face, ranging from #QuititRoseShaffer to # RoseShafferDisrespectsCompetition and #BanRoseShaffer. All three had been made viral online.

“Look, I’m famous,” Rose murmured bitterly.

There was no way someone as minuscule as her would end up being in the headlines if it weren’t for some third party’s manipulation. Was it Jamie who started this? Or Kelly?

If Rose was banned from the industry, Celeste Jewel would be doomed once she inherited it.

Taking a deep breath, Rose had the driver speed up. They reached the venue in thirty minutes, which was packed with a thick crowd near the entrance.

Some younger fans were holding up sign boards in their hands that read stuff like “Look at me, hotcakes!” to “You’re so handsome!“. Ezra must be nearby.

Usually, Rose would’ve tried her luck catching him as he walked by, but right now all she wanted was to reclaim what was hers in the competition, suffering or not.

She shoved into the crowd, a black mask on her face. Rose was nearly at the venue entrance when a young woman caught her wrist.

“Sir is asking for your presence immediately, Ms. Raeynal”

Sir? Ms. Raeyna?

Rose was taken aback. Realizing this woman must’ve mistaken her for another, she tried clarifying herself. Unfortunately, the woman had already dragged her into a nearby private lounge.

When Rose came back to her senses, the door had long shut behind her.

A man’s voice came from behind her, “Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get started on my makeup!”

Makeup? Rose turned around to replace a man languishing in a cushioned seat in front of a makeup mirror. His eyes were shut as Rose gazed at his face.

Shock, she slowly walked up towards him. If she hadn’t recognized the man to be Ezra Turner, she would’ve thought this was her star escort husband.

Rose had found the latter handsome, yes, but never put him side by side in comparison to Ezra Turner.

This sudden comparison made her realize just how similar they looked, yet one closer look and you could tell just where their differences lay.

Just like that, Rose blurted out a question before she could stop herself.

“Do you have a twin brother?”
