Chapter 1141 A Wild Night
This competition was an international event with high-value awards, which made a significant impact on the photography world.
Jane quickly received invitations from several domestic variety shows.
Jane was not unfamiliar with variety shows. She had accompanied Natalie to them before, and many socialites around her had participated in such shows, even in talent competitions.
Jane wasn't particularly enthusiastic about gaining fame and fans. She had been at the top of the socialite circle since childhood, never lacking in praise and admiration. Therefore, fame and fan adoration held no allure for her.
However, the director of this show was an acquaintance of Jane's, also from the Paykston socialite circle. Though not a close friend, she was one of the few who didn't kick her when the Watkins family fell from grace.
Before that, Jane never thought she would one day be grateful for such "inaction."
In the end, Jane agreed to participate.
This variety show was an interview-style lifestyle program. Since it was broadcast live, there was almost no room for fakery, and the viewership was quite good.
Besides Jane, there were three other celebrity guests.
Jane didn't expect such a coincidence—one of the female stars was Melissa.
Jane merely found Melissa somewhat annoying, but Melissa clearly saw Jane as an enemy, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Jane and Melissa sat far apart, separated by the other two guests.
The host keenly noticed the strange tension between Jane and Melissa and decided to stir things up later.
The first segment was a routine Q&A, with the host asking questions about the guests' lives based on their different professions.
Melissa seemed determined to embarrass Jane. The host asked her, "Do you have any interesting work experiences recently to share with us?"
"Nothing interesting, but there was something particularly unpleasant," Melissa said, glancing at Jane several times.
The host said, "Oh? What's that?"
Melissa said, "Recently, I took on an endorsement. During the ad shoot, the photographer was a wealthy heir. Her ex-boyfriend is now involved with my boss, and because of this, she was very dissatisfied with me and used her family's power to make me lose the endorsement."
Melissa's words were filled with the grievance of being oppressed by power, but she didn't forget to add a positive note. "However, I believe that in this society, strength speaks louder. Those who rely on their family background to act recklessly will eventually face the consequences."
Jane listened idly, taking several seconds to realize that the "wealthy heir" Melissa mentioned seemed to be her.
Jane glanced at Melissa, who wore a superficially aggrieved yet secretly triumphant expression.
Although Melissa didn't directly name the wealthy heir, netizens were resourceful. With a bit of effort, it wouldn't be hard to find out that the wealthy heir was Jane!
Melissa could already imagine the storm that would erupt online after the show aired. Her fans would unconditionally support her and feel indignant on her behalf. The endorsement that had slipped through her fingers would now have an explanation.
The explanation would be that the wealthy heir's power crushed Melissa's opportunity.
Netizens were notoriously anti-rich, and Jane would quickly become the target of their disdain, representing the spoiled rich kids.
Jane had been in a state of self-cultivation for the past few months, thinking that she had mellowed with age and preferred "peace." She didn't expect that there would still be people who dared to provoke her repeatedly!
It was Jane's turn.
The host asked Jane an impromptu question, "Ms. Watkins, you are also in the photography industry. What do you think of the actions of the photographer Melissa mentioned?"
"No opinion," Jane chuckled. "It's fundamentally problematic for someone who doesn't understand photography to comment on a photographer's skills. Moreover, the advertiser hired the photographer. If Ms. Butler wants to mock the photographer, she should directly tell the advertiser that their professional ability is lacking."
Melissa was shocked.
As a celebrity, how could she dare to criticize the head of the Cunningham Group? Jane was clearly setting a trap for her!
Jane looked at the camera and continued, "However, I am quite confident in my professional abilities. I have won more professional awards than Ms. Butler, and the value of my trophies is higher than Ms. Butler's Best Actress award. Suppose Ms. Butler hasn't been faking it. In that case, my professional ability should be quite good, unless Ms. Butler questions the professionalism of the major international photography organizers and judges, right, Ms. Butler?"
Jane smiled at Melissa.
Melissa's face turned ugly, but she forced a smile for the camera. "That's right."
How could Melissa dare to question the abilities of those judges and organizers? Even if she suspected someone was backing Jane, she wouldn't dare say it!
A coward dares to stir up trouble! Jane thought disdainfully.
The tension between the two was palpable, so the host quickly changed the topic.
"Next question. We all know that Ms. Watkins is not only highly skilled but also a famous socialite in Paykston. So, let's ask a question that the audience is curious about. Ms. Watkins, what is the most outrageous thing you've done in the past twenty years?"
"Do I have to tell the truth?" After Melissa's antics, Jane wasn't in a good mood.
When Jane was in a bad mood, she didn't want to beat around the bush and would say whatever came to mind.
The host said, "Of course."
Jane found the question illogical; she said, "But this is a subjective question. How would you know if I'm telling the truth?"
Her demeanor suggested she was ready to lie to brush them off.
The host didn't expect Jane to say that on camera and could only laugh awkwardly.
While the host was racking his brain for a response, Jane suddenly spoke, "A wild night."
