Chapter 248: Chapter 248

Conrad Sterling and Finn Grant’s appearance was definitely a double surprise for the live audience and those media friends who hadn’t left yet.

They arrived at the press conference one after another, evidently on private errands.

Since the staff organizing the event had all left their posts, they automatically found empty seats in the audience.

What kind of magical day is today? So many handsome guys are gathered together!

Let’s not even mention Florian Hollis, but meeting people like President Sterling, Young Master Grant, Second Young Master Willow, and Third Young Master Willow—those noble sons of wealthy families—is not something ordinary people get to do every day.

Moreover, to be seated in the same row as them.

The audience suddenly felt that the seats under them were lined with gold, as if their status had just risen, making today’s ticket extremely worth it.

Some self-media present at the premiere had only come here as a second choice because they didn’t receive an invitation from the adjacent film crew. Everyone was a bit down about it.

But now, they quietly took out their phones to take photos and prepared to post them on Weibo to boast a bit.

Hmph, so what if you see major stars next door?

We’ve got most of Aethelgard’s financial circle gathered here, who’s more valuable is obvious!

Even if Marilyn Ford used her connections to invite half of the entertainment industry to drum up publicity for her new movie, it’s no match for Anna Thornton having four men backing her up, which is so enviable!

The premiere ceremony ended—

Conrad Sterling and Finn Grant were both blocked by the media on the scene.

These media personnel rushed over after seeing the news of the two appearing together on Weibo.

Ever since Conrad Sterling had a car accident not long ago, the outside world has been very concerned about his injuries.

As for Finn Grant, he has always provided for those reporters he lashed out at with his shocking words.

However, today these two were oddly quiet, seemingly in tacit agreement not to steal the movie’s spotlight.

So managing the statements on site was mainly handled by Henry Willow.

"President Sterling, you had a car accident not long ago. Why didn’t you rest up in the hospital instead of attending the movie premiere?"

Henry Willow answered for him, "Isn’t it obvious? It’s because the movie is that good. Any movie that can attract an injured person to a cinema, whoever misses it is at a loss!"

"There are rumors that Marilyn Ford left Starlight Entertainment due to a personal fallout with you. So is Anna now the female artist that the company is focusing on developing? Will Anna be groomed to become Marilyn’s successor?"

"Our company is indeed adjusting the internal structure of our artists, but it’s not convenient to disclose it at the moment. Please keep paying attention in the future. As for Anna, her future is limitless. To say she’s someone’s successor would be jinxing someone into early retirement, wouldn’t it? Although Marilyn has already left Starlight Entertainment, we are still good friends in private. Whoever said this, I would have to tell her, oh."

Henry Willow seemed quite suited for public relations, not only skillfully dodging the issue of Marilyn and Conrad Sterling’s relationship but also ensuring Anna wouldn’t come to any harm.

Finn Grant was annoyed seeing the Willows and Sterlings putting on airs together and let out a cold snort.

A reporter immediately pointed a microphone at him, "Young Master Grant, it’s understandable for President Sterling to be here today, as he’s always had a good relationship with Second Young Master Willow. Second Young Master Willow is now the general manager of Starlight Entertainment; does your attendance at their artist’s movie imply support for your future brother-in-law?"

Hearing this, Finn Grant was livid and wanted to publicly announce that his sister had long since broken up with that Willow.

But considering Anna’s movie premiere, he couldn’t steal the spotlight.

Conrad Sterling is just about feigning depth, isn’t he?

If Anna rejected his proposal because his previous attempts were too high-profile and reckless, he could act mysteriously just like Conrad Sterling.

So, after a moment’s thought, he only managed to squeeze out, "That’s bullshit!"

"Young Master Grant, you previously mentioned that your plan upon returning was to propose. Were you successful?"

"None of your damn business!"

"Can you reveal a bit, which girl is the lucky one? Is she here today?"

"None of your damn business!"

"There’s one more question..."

"None of your damn business!" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fiɾe·net

This interview is going nowhere!

Although Young Master Grant’s attitude has always been bad, he’s never been as tight-lipped as today!

Fortunately, in this stew of media, even Third Young Master Willow was present today, so they could focus on the feud between the Willow family’s first branch and the illegitimate child.

After all, the joint appearance of Henry Willow and Ivan Willow is a rare sight, and since they now work at different entertainment companies, there will definitely be some good drama in the future.

"Alright everyone, although there are lots of juicy tidbits here at our premiere, try not to overindulge. Remember, eating until you’re 60 to 70 percent full is the healthiest. We’ll wrap up today’s interviews here." Henry Willow clapped his hands, taking charge of the proceedings, "Let’s do this: everyone knows how hard it is to get all of us in one frame, so why not give you an ’Aethelgard Four’ cover photo to make you happy?"

Even top magazines can’t get these four to do a cover together, so of course, the journalists present agreed.

"Now that you’ve got the perks from me, remember to help promote our movie when you go back."

"Don’t worry, Young Master Willow, we’ll definitely give you face! Come on, everyone, huddle up a bit, look at the camera!"

Ivan Willow didn’t want to let this great promotional opportunity slip, but seeing that neither Conrad Sterling nor Finn Grant opposed it.

It really isn’t easy to get The Aethelgard Four together, so fine, go ahead and shoot it first.

Besides, since he’d be in the photo, Ivan Willow could still use it as a promotional gimmick for his own company’s film when he got back.

Ivan Willow didn’t want to be outdone by Conrad Sterling, so he purposely adjusted his tie and cuffs, ready to pose as his most handsome and coolest self.

Who knew, just then, Henry Willow turned around and beckoned to Florian Hollis not far away: "Come, come, join us for the photo, our team’s most popular member."

Is the Aethelgard Four meant to be them?

Ivan Willow couldn’t believe he was being sidelined!

Even though he is now officially the Willow family’s Third Young Master, who does that Florian think he is?

Ivan Willow believed that if there really were a ranking for The Aethelgard Four, by ability and reputation, he’d only temporarily concede to Conrad Sterling and Finn Grant; he’d definitely rank third.

But now he was being squeezed out by Henry Willow, this pathetic loser, and some insignificant pretty boy. How could he accept that?

Yet when he glanced at Conrad Sterling and Finn Grant, neither of them seemed to object.

Were it not for this being Anna Thornton’s first movie as the lead and were it not for the bet with Conrad Sterling, Finn Grant wouldn’t have agreed to a photo with these folks.

He already grudgingly accepted being in the same frame with Henry Willow and Conrad Sterling; he couldn’t be bothered to fuss over adding some nobody pretty boy.

Since they had no objections, that’s how the ’Aethelgard F4’ was established!
