It was 1.1 million, a large sum of money. In order to take vengeance on Becky, she had to take some measures at such a critical moment. For example, she decided to cope with Joseph as well as Becky with Joseph's money. Both of them kept silent to the rumors, and Irish was eager to know how long they could keep silent.
Irish felt that she had made a false step.
She thought that Joseph was going on a business trip, but he didn't expect that he would go to attend the film festival award ceremony, and many famous stars were also there.
She watched the replay of the ceremony. Although Joseph declined their request to walk down the aisle with those actresses, the audience greeted him with rapturous applause when he showed up. Irish had no idea who the director was who gave Britney a close-up shot when Joseph showed up. Irish was annoyed by Britney's expression in her eyes, exuding tenderness and love as if Joseph was her boyfriend.
Of course, the director had to give Britney a close-up shot because she got a very important award while Joseph was the award presenter.
Dressed in a silver-gray evening dress with a fishtail, Britney walked to the stage in high heels elegantly. Her slim figure was well lined up, which made her look so beautiful. However, Irish felt like this woman was a thorn in her flesh.
Britney took over the trophy while Joseph's deep voice was heard at the next second. "Congratulations!" uttered Joseph. Britney replied with a smile, and then she began to deliver her acceptance speech. As she finished her sentences, Britney turned to Joseph and said in an effectively sweet voice in public, "Mr. Dover, can I give you a hug?"
The audience kicked up a fuss after hearing that.
But Joseph looked peaceful without any mood change, so it was hard to tell if he granted Britney's request. Generally speaking, it was not polite for a gentleman to decline a lady's request before the public.
Joseph reached out while Britney stepped forward to hug him.
The audience rejoiced, and they began to applaud. Becky also received an award. Many newcomers would join the entertainment circle every day, and then they would win support from the public, such as Becky. At least she showed up on the stage several times in this ceremony, attracting people's attention. To people's surprise, she wore different dresses every time she came to the stage. The media reported that the dresses were sponsored by some celebrities, and the cheapest dress was worth 200 million, let alone the jewels she was wearing.
When Becky came to the stage for the last time, the compere began to make some compliments of the ornaments. And the compere even asked Becky if she was aware that the public regarded her as a goddess.
A soft smile crept over Becky's face. "In fact, I didn't know that. I am always busy with my work and seldom have time to surf the Internet. But I am still appreciated for that," said Becky.
After hearing this, Irish tried her best to control her rage. She wanted to break her computer into pieces, but she tried her best to control her anger since she knew that no one would compensate for her computer. Irish felt that Becky was such a hypocritical woman, and she felt disgusted about Becky's affected smile.
The compere started to acclaim Becky's dresses, but Becky still replied with humble words and expressed that she hoped to be sponsored by Runestone Group. "But I am not sure if Mr. Dover will select me as his spokesperson."
The audience gave another enthusiastic applause. And soon, the camera turned to Joseph, who just smiled faintly there.
Becky kept smiling, and then she pretended to blame the host for not giving her an opportunity to be on stage with Joseph. Shocked, the host asked her why she wanted to be on stage with Joseph. With a soft smile, Becky replied skillfully so that the audience could not tell if she was telling a joke. "It is because I am jealous since Mr. Dover gave me a hug to Britney."
The audience applauded cheerfully after hearing this. However, Joseph, sitting in the first row off the stage, still kept a faint smile without a mood change.
Irish felt angry about that as if she had seen through Joseph's mind. He must tread on air at the moment.
So Irish thought she had done something stupid.
The ceremony schedule must have been arranged earlier, which meant that Becky had known his schedule before sending him the message. However, Irish replied to Becky without informing Joseph. They met with each other the next day even if Irish declined Becky's invitation pretending to be Joseph secretly. As expected, Joseph met Becky just the next day.
Irish then realized that she could not stop Joseph from meeting Becky at all. It was beyond her capability.
"Bitch! Two bitches!" thought Irish to herself.
Joseph was a successful businessman who used to have several women throwing themselves in his arms, while Becky was a woman who was eager to be intimate with Joseph intentionally. It seemed that they were perfectly matched, but Irish felt so indignant. She was about to take revenge on them.
Irish didn't want to figure out the source of her irritation, and it was clear that Becky irritated her.
Irish was aware of the inkling from the ceremony.
Although Becky and Britney were on pretty good terms, there was also a conflict of interest between them since they were all in the entertainment circle. Therefore, they could get along with each other peacefully, and they also competed with each other privately.
Generally speaking, the stars are afraid of gossip, but they can't develop without it because they need to take advantage of it to promote their popularity. Obviously, Becky had learned from Britney because she knew well how to use gossip to keep her popularity. Britney took the initiative to give Joseph a hug because she was clear that those entertainment journalists would report it wantonly.
Britney knew that it was impossible for her to be reconciled with Joseph. But he was a man with high social status, so she could take advantage of it. Before that, people had been speculating about their relationships for a long time. So if Britney took the initiative to get close to Joseph, people would gossip about their relationship.
It would be big news if Britney gave him a hug. That was her real purpose. However, she didn't expect that Becky would become her stumbling block.
