Chapter 709: Chapter 709: News of Death
Jared Quinn turned his head as the red car had already driven off.
His face instantly filled with an intense storm; that kid just deserves a beating!
The gala event organized by several companies was attended by well-known celebrities, those with high exposure and prolific works.
"Melody, over here," Nina King waved at her.
Melody Thorne was wearing a red gown with a back made of lace, a creation under Sila’s brand. Upon hearing Nina’s voice, many people’s eyes turned towards her.
Melody Thorne was already tall, and wearing high heels further complemented her figure. Her yet-to-show small belly was perfectly concealed. To her left was a young, elegant little prince, and seeing that exquisitely carved little face, everyone seemed to see that sinister, ruthless, and extraordinarily handsome man.
"Wow, look, she’s actually brazenly bringing the Quinn Corporation’s little prince to the event."
"Damn, this seals her identity as Mrs. Quinn."
"She doesn’t just have one identity; her backing is enormous."
"I guess with her status, no director would dare to exploit her, even if she stripped naked and lay on a big bed for them."

The event quickly began as the host looked at the award list, announcing them in order,
"Most Promising Actress in a New Film, Melody Thorne."
"Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress in Popular Film, Melody Thorne."
"Top Ten Actors in Film, Melody Thorne."
Her name appeared the most throughout the venue.
"Most Promising Actor in a New Film, Hans Montrose."

Upon hearing about Hans Montrose’s awards and the Best Actor award, Melody Thorne felt a bit unsettled in her chest. After the film’s success, both their statuses would have been elevated, yet unfortunately...
"Why hasn’t Hans Montrose appeared lately?"
"No idea. He disappeared for a while and hasn’t shown up yet. He hasn’t even collected his awards, and almost no one knows his whereabouts now."
"Could it be," a female actress made a slicing motion across her neck, causing those around to gasp, and the reporters quickly caught the scene, beginning widespread reports speculating that a certain male actor had suddenly disappeared and was suspected to be dead.
