Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Think Clearly
Unaware of the man’s exhaustion, Tiffany Lynch sat down and immediately complained, "George, there are too many people outside, next time we should choose another place."
George River poured a glass of water for Tiffany Lynch. His tone was as gentle as ever, yet tinged with exhaustion. "It’s my fault for not paying attention. It won’t happen next time."
Tiffany Lynch didn’t notice, she was just accustomed to the man’s careful attention to her.
When they were halfway through the meal, Tiffany Lynch finally spoke.
This issue couldn’t be beaten around the bush like previous matters. Tiffany Lynch had to approach it in a gentler way.
George River put down his glass of red wine and pondered for a moment before asking, "Is Hannah Winter getting a lot of votes?"
He hadn’t paid attention to the talent show for a while, so he was not clear about the recent changes in rankings.
When Tiffany Lynch was asked this by George River, even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had to nod her head, "Hannah’s number of votes..."
She stopped speaking, shook her head, and appeared hesitant.
George River’s hand holding the cutlery paused, for some reason, his expression turned cold.
After lengthy deliberation, Tiffany finally decided to put her thoughts into words, "George, you know entering the entertainment industry has always been my dream, and ’Shining Star Journey 2’ is my first step into this industry. I hope I can make this first step well. Do you understand what I mean?"
Her voice was diplomatic, but her intention was made very obvious.
How could George River not understand?
But...
"Tiffany, you need to think it over, the result may not be as satisfying as you think."
George River didn’t mind spending some money to help Tiffany Lynch win a small competition within the show before.
But this time it’s different.
This was the finale night, millions of audience across the globe would be watching. If anything unexpected happened, the reputation of the "royalty" might forever be sullied.
Tiffany Lynch did not realize George was considering this for her benefit, and instead suspected his hesitation was due to Hannah Winter.
Tiffany Lynch’s dissatisfaction grew stronger, her eyes tearing up, "George, I thought you understood me. I just feel that Hannah’s success may not have been achieved by herself. That top-tier endorsement she secured was something completely outside of an intern’s reach, even her votes could be forged..."
George’s face tightened.
Tiffany Lynch continued, "... I know, there are certainly many dark secrets in these talent shows. If it was before... my family wouldn’t stand by and watch me suffer like this, but now that our family has... when I returned home, my family was against my decision, worried that I would suffer in the entertainment industry. But all I wanted was to prove myself, to show them."
As she spoke, Tiffany Lynch was choking with sobs.
She knew just where to hit to bring a man to his knees.
To George River, his biggest regret regarding Tiffany Lynch was what happened to the Lynch family.
Although in business, gains and losses can happen in an instant, facing his first love, George River always felt indebted.
He rubbed his weary brow and asked seriously, "Tiffany, is first place really that important to you?"
Tiffany Lynch should know, even if she didn’t make it to the first place, the resources allotted to her by Prideful Entertainment wouldn’t be less than the first place winner.
Her rise to prominence was just a matter of time.
