Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 270

“Next, we’re going to hand out the Best Actress Award for the 23rd Silver Fox Awards. The actress who clinched the Best Actress Award this time is… Meredith Yard!”

Streamers rained down the entire auditorium. Meredith couldn’t believe her ears. She indeed wanted the award, but she also felt that Jude was more likely to get it because the movie for which she was shortlisted was truly superb.

All cameras focused on Meredith who once again clinched the award for best actress. Meredith hesitated for a moment before she stood up. She then flashed a smile at the people around her before hugging those near her. Finally, she picked up her silver gown and sashayed up the stage.

Subsequently, the cameras even panned over Jude since she was the most promising actress for the Best Actress Award this year. When the awards ceremony announced the shortlisted actresses, many had speculated that she’d win.

There weren’t many good works this year, and that meant lesser competition. At a single glance, one could tell that the other shortlisted actresses were merely there for the sake of show since their work was right there for all to see. However, the movie in which Jude acted was unique. While it wasn’t a box office hit, her performance was favored by many influential directors, and several renowned directors even complimented her acting skills on Twitter after watching the movie. On the other hand, Meredith’s work was also quite good, but there was no significant breakthrough in her acting skills. It was average, neither good nor bad. Thus, Jude was the more likely winner, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be Meredith.

Meredith choked up a few times, but applause rang out from below the stage again and again, giving her much encouragement. Taking the trophy, she picked up the microphone. “Actually, I didn’t prepare an acceptance speech today. Too many things have happened recently that caused me to start doubting myself constantly, so I didn’t even believe that I could win this award. I hereby thank all the judges’ affirmation of me. Thank you!”

Everyone present knew that she hadn’t had it easy, what with the Yard Family going bankrupt and her sister going to prison. Every single incident was a huge blow to her, and her image as the perfect goddess was crumbling bit by bit. But at this critical moment, she clinched the Best Actress Award. This had people inevitably envious of her. She’s truly lucky and blessed.

“Taking this opportunity, I’d like to thank someone in particular for always supporting me at my back silently when I was at my lowest. His hug comforted my battered heart, and his smile ceased my perpetual tears. Here, I’d like to say, I love you.”

The auditorium plunged into silence before thunderous applause broke out. After all, what did this acceptance speech by Meredith imply? It implied that she had a boyfriend! So, is she publicizing her relationship?

Backstage, Landy smiled as she looked at Meredith on the stage. This Best Actress Award has solved all current problems. Besides, her statement earlier will probably occupy the top search queries on Twitter for several days. She can be rid of her family scandal and continue being the most popular actress.

Meanwhile, Jude merely found it laughable as she stared at Meredith on the stage.

When the awards ceremony had ended, the media naturally surrounded Meredith. Meredith’s smile was bright and dazzling as she held her trophy. “Miss Yard, is the person you mentioned in your acceptance speech earlier your boyfriend? Can you please respond to this?”

“Miss Yard, can you reveal who your boyfriend is?”

As expected, all the reporters kept pursuing this question.
