Chapter 359: Chapter 359

Soon, Wyatt Jagger accepted an exclusive interview with the country’s largest video platform.

During the interview, Wyatt Jagger mainly emphasized three points.

First, he and Marilyn Ford are not currently in a romantic relationship.

Second, he indeed has intentions to pursue Marilyn Ford.

Third, Anna Thornton is not his type; she wasn’t before and won’t be in the future, and he hopes that the audience and fans can separate the drama from reality.

Wyatt Jagger’s words clearly showed his bias towards Marilyn Ford, depicting him as a humble pursuer. He portrayed Marilyn as an innocent victim, a kind, elegant, pure, yet unattainable... goddess-like figure.

Marilyn Ford saw the interview right away and was very satisfied.

She enjoyed the feeling of being placed on a pedestal!

Wyatt Jagger’s attitude towards Anna also put Marilyn in a great mood.

Speaking of Marilyn’s decrease in popularity, it was due to her latest film flopping, unexpectedly being outperformed by a low-budget film starring Anna, which really embarrassed her.

Since her debut, Marilyn had always had a smooth path. To put it bluntly, fans liked her because of her winner-in-life aura.

Having an idol born at the finish line of others’ race was certainly reassuring. No need to worry about her lacking resources; numerous opportunities lined up for Marilyn to choose from. Nor is there any concern about her falling victim to dirty rules in the entertainment circle, since her rumored boyfriend is President Sterling, who, even without considering Marilyn’s family background, is an unrivaled benefactor like Conrad Sterling.

However, fans were disappointed because despite having such good resources and conditions, Marilyn failed to deliver impeccable results.

Simply put, she was playing a good hand poorly.

With Anna simultaneously achieving good results with a bad hand, the contrast became even more striking.

Moreover, President Sterling hadn’t interacted publicly with Marilyn for a long time, with rumors of their breakup circulating. This further diminished the halo over Marilyn, leaving her goddess status precarious.

And all of this was caused by Anna’s appearance!

Even if Marilyn looked down on Anna, she had to admit that Anna seemed to be her nemesis, a stumbling block on her life path she couldn’t wait to rid herself of.

Thus, Wyatt Jagger’s strategy of boosting Marilyn while belittling Anna pleased Marilyn very much.

That evening, Anna took leave from her filming to go to a livestream event. Mary mentioned it on the way.

"Wyatt Jagger is way out of line, thinking he can bully us? You’ve let him go before, yet he dares to step on us for Marilyn. I’m so angry with this jerk, I’ve decided to spend this month’s salary on online bots to trash him!" Mary complained all along the way.

"Save your money for makeup and skincare. It’s not worth getting wrinkles over such people!" Anna comforted her.

"Anna, I’ve noticed your mindset is getting better and better!" Mary always knew Anna had a strong mentality, often doing things that scared her manager speechless.

Yet every time under pressure, Anna amazed Mary anew; the more pressure she was under, the calmer she became. Such strength was both enviable and moving.

"Wyatt Jagger made himself clear in the interview, emphasizing he didn’t like fans pairing you two. Tonight’s livestream is a joint promotion, so I’m worried Wyatt might bail and leave you hanging."

As they spoke, they arrived at the venue.

Anna opened the car door and got out, casually saying, "If he doesn’t come, can’t I handle the promotion myself?"

To match the character’s plot, Anna went with an androgynous look today, wearing a black baseball cap. A small ear cuff on her left ear shone faintly in the night, highlighting her perfect profile’s casual confidence.

In that moment, Mary was once again impressed by her artist’s charm.

She closed the car door and jogged after Anna, "You’re right indeed!"

The livestream format’s promotion had only become popular in recent years, mainly to bridge the gap between fans and stars.

Moreover, live coverage without rehearsals or editing showed a more authentic side of these stars in private.

The livestream room exploded twice within ten minutes due to the influx of fans.

Clearly, they underestimated the show’s popularity. The platform hurried to have programmers work overtime to stabilize it.

When Anna arrived, there was a surge in traffic.

She greeted the online audience graciously in front of the camera.

Previously, Anna had always been seen with a glamorous image. Today’s androgynous outfit was especially well-received, filling the comments with a sea of "Charlotte."

The one managing the livestream was a somewhat famous female gaming streamer wearing oversized anime bunny ears.

The female streamer was thrilled over this assignment, originally drawn by Wyatt Jagger’s appeal. Since women tend to follow the male lead when watching dramas.

However, with Anna arriving first, she stuck to the plan by asking Anna questions, guiding her interaction with the live fans.

Yet during the interview, she couldn’t help glancing towards the door repeatedly, hoping to see when the male lead would show up.

The host’s subtle actions were noticed by sharp-eyed viewers, quickly leading to a discussion in the comments.

[Why isn’t Wyatt Jagger here yet?]

[Busy comforting the goddess in his heart, I guess, especially after today’s public proclamation!]

[Gosh! The production team posted about the "Rascal and Charlotte" couple reunited tonight but might he not come?]

[That’s quite possible, considering he personally tore apart the couple dynamics while the drama is still influential, never seen such a bold male lead! Plus, he said he doesn’t like fans pairing him with Anna!]

[So if Wyatt doesn’t come, what’ll Anna do?]

[So awkward, Wyatt’s earlier words made it seem like Anna is desperately clinging to him for publicity.]

At this moment, Marilyn was also watching the livestream.

But not because she wanted to, she barely had time for such trivial matters.

It was merely during a break in filming that Sharon Langley gleefully showed it on her phone, catching Marilyn’s inadvertent glance.

No need for fans’ wild guesses; Wyatt had already sworn to Marilyn that he wouldn’t attend the joint promo with Anna tonight.

Out of dedication to Marilyn, he even relinquished a publicity opportunity; his devotion was indeed rare.

But what’s even more gratifying was seeing Anna embarrassed.

Observing her alone at the stream, with an empty seat beside her, silently showcasing Wyatt’s disdain and dissatisfaction as the male lead towards Anna, the female lead.

With so many fans or onlookers possibly witnessing her awkward moment through the livestream, Anna was probably on pins and needles by now, unsure of how to end it.
