Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Destroying One’s Image
She had never regretted more than ever the decision to cruelly sever the relationship with George River.
She knew that it was her whom George loved, that his affair with Hannah Winter was nothing more than a public pretense, but the man’s recent attitude made her feel inexplicably uneasy.
A woman was always sensitive to the thoughts of the man she loved.
The gentleness when he held her, his distant look while dining with her, followed by a sigh, as well as the passionate gaze he held her with—they all seemed as if they were looking through her at someone else.
She, such a high and mighty individual, couldn’t tolerate being the replacement for another woman, yet she couldn’t let go of George, be it for the sake of her own feelings or career.
She took a deep breath, trying hard to remain calm. Looking at Hannah’s stunning face, she could barely hide her jealousy, "Our turn to perform is coming soon, and I want you to know, once I take this spot, I won’t give it up easily."
Hannah raised her eyebrow slightly, "Oh, didn’t you just say that rankings are not important?"
Tiffany Lynch froze.
Damnit, why was she arguing with an idiot?
Unable to maintain her expectations, she turned around and left.
The comments in the chatbox got even livelier.
Not only Hannah’s fans, even the onlookers were mocking.
This was the fastest idol they had seen to shatter her public image.
One second she was seen as a cultivated and poised idol, next second she seamlessly switched to an ambitious go-getter.
It really was amazing.
Tiffany Lynch’s fans were baffled, even forgetting how to defend her,
Only the bots continued tirelessly posting comments.
The same few comments were repeatedly fabricated, in vibrant colors, causing deep resentment in the viewers.
— These days, one can’t even watch a talent show without seeing fake comments everywhere. It’s so annoying!
The third group was the one with the fewest contestants, the majority of whom were from Class C and D.
Class A was naturally one and only – Tiffany Lynch.
Class F had only one contestant too – May Hoffman.
Tiffany Lynch stood in the very middle of them all, dressed in a pink practice outfit. The rank A on her outfit was glittering under the light, clearly in a league of its own compared to the others.
However, despite all this, it was still Hannah who was stealing everyone’s attention.
No other reason, Hannah’s pale skin combined with her incredibly beautiful face was just too dazzling.
All sixteen of them were facing away from the screen, so no one saw the comments on the screen.
Jackie Qualls sat in the middle of all the judges, directly facing the center of the stage.
Just by looking up, Hannah could see that man.
He was looking at her.
Always gentle-looking, his face always wearing a faint smile, perennially seemed like a good-tempered and elegant gentleman, constantly making people comfortable around him.
However, this comfort was always accompanied by a sense of distance and calmness, maintaining an appropriate distance with everyone else.
It was like a mask.
This was a man who wouldn’t let anyone get close to him easily.
Even when the original Hannah Winter was willing to be a shield for this man, he didn’t waver in the slightest.
It’s another man with a deceptive appearance.
Unlike Louis Snyder’s pure cleanliness and youthfulness, Jackie Qualls gave off a more mature and graceful feel after layers of sedimentation.
Indeed, he was an older man.
Hannah withdrew her gaze, the corners of her lips curving up in an almost imperceptible smile.
