Chapter 987: Chapter 987 No Emotions_1
But Hayes Edwards didn’t have much affection for their team.
Fans had been arguing and slandering each other and directly cursing since before their debut.
The members of the group also didn’t see eye to eye, not that there were no true feelings, but in the face of huge financial temptations, everyone became cautious and guarded.
Luckily, he had always been laid back about these things and didn’t take them too seriously.
Let others say what they will, after all, this was just his nature, whether they liked it or not, was up to them.
The sunlight was especially glaring, without the thick clouds to shield it, it poured down on people, coating them in a layer of faint radiance.
Hayes turned to look at Hannah sitting beside him, his gaze resting between her brows and eyes.
He thought of something and chuckled softly.
Just then, he caught Hannah’s glance and immediately raised the script to pretend to be good.
Hannah only glanced once before looking away, tapping on her brain-computer interface’s silent Golden Lotus.
"Are you sure there isn’t any information about Hayes Edwards?"
Golden Lotus yawned sleepily, "No, I’ve checked several times, really nothing. At most, he’s just a—" It considered its words, then said uncertainly, "side character?"
Side characters in interstellar live broadcasts usually refer to those that only appear in spin-offs, and such characters typically serve as a backdrop in the main plot.
In the original storyline, Hayes was only mentioned in passing as the face of a boy band.
Hannah wasn’t too bothered about it.
Just then, Jack Stewart had also finished his call and came over, still carrying residual anger, "Let’s go, I’ll take you back to HQ to settle the score with that old witch, Teresa Gordon."

It was still noon, and many reporters had already gathered outside the HQ building.
The security guards were doing their best to maintain order, struggling to block the reporters who constantly tried to rush inside.
Flashes flickered, and cameras were already aimed at the members of Smile 9 who appeared outside the door.
No matter what the result of today’s discussions, they didn’t want to miss out on an opportunity to easily rise on the trending searches.
One by one, they all greeted the cameras enthusiastically, and some even complained about the security guards blocking their shot and chased them away.
"Sunny Lee, Sunny Lee, netizens are saying that your speech last night implied isolating Hannah Winter within the group, is there any truth to that?"
"Sunny Lee, it’s said that you and Hannah Winter were like sisters before, has your relationship now broken down? Rumors are that you’re jealous of Hannah Winter, is that true?"
"Heather Harrison, Ginny, it’s said that you got into Smile 9 by vote manipulation, and after the matter was exposed, HQ kept you on board, what are your thoughts on the potential disbandment of the group?"
After several questions, the smiles on their faces were increasingly hard to maintain.
Especially for Sunny Lee, during usual group interviews, reporters rarely noticed her, and even if they did, the questions were always trivial.
This was her first time facing such "sharp" questions on her own.
Even though she came prepared, her complexion had still turned somewhat pale.
"About that, I... I didn’t imply anything about anyone."
She struggled to get the words out.
The reporter simply pushed up his glasses and pressed on, "Then is it true about the isolation within the group?"
Isolation within a girl group was a big taboo.
Sunny Lee’s hesitating demeanor gave the surrounding reporters more room to speculate.
