Chapter 159: Chapter 159: High-Profile Declaration of Love, Humiliating the Everett

Sienna Everett was completely and utterly stunned.

The rest of the audience was even more astonished, their jaws dropping so wide it was as if a bolt of lightning had unexpectedly struck from the heavens, splitting their skulls wide open.

Julian Forrester actually said... that he liked Sienna Everett...

He didn’t bid on the bracelet because she was SG or Kian; he did it simply because he liked Sienna Everett as a person!

This... this...

’What in the world is going on?!’

For a moment, the massive hall fell utterly silent. Everyone stared blankly at the stage, instinctively holding their breath.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Sienna Everett snapped out of her stupor and glared at Julian Forrester, her big, bright, glistening eyes wide.

’What is he saying in front of all these people?!’

Seeing her adorable expression, her eyes round as saucers in surprise, the man couldn’t help but let the corner of his lips quirk up.

THUD. The host was so shocked that his hand went slack, and the microphone slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor, the only sound in the silent hall.

The sound snapped the audience back to reality, and it did the same for the host, who had been completely spaced out.

The host scrambled to bend over and pick it up, his fingers trembling uncontrollably from sheer panic and astonishment.

The audience was getting antsy. ’His composure is terrible! He’s not cut out for this!’

’They should just let one of us go up there and get to the bottom of this!’

The host tremblingly tested the microphone. Thankfully, it wasn’t broken.

Enduring the fiery gazes from the crowd, the host’s throat felt dry with nervousness. His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Mr. Forrester, you... you just said that you like Sienna Everett herself?"

Upon hearing this, Sienna Everett’s eyes went wide again. She looked at Julian Forrester and gave a slight shake of her head.

She was signaling him not to say anything rash and to deny it quickly.

But in the next moment, the man simply gave a calm, unhurried nod. "Yes."

Sienna Everett: "..."

’Excellent.’

’When this banquet is over, I’m going to take Julian Forrester down with me!’

Sienna Everett made no effort to hide her feelings now. Her beautiful, expressive eyes, shimmering with a watery light, were fixed on Julian Forrester as she began to eagerly anticipate the end of the banquet.

The host’s right hand, which was gripping the microphone, trembled even more violently, as if he had Parkinson’s. He swallowed hard and continued, "So you’re saying... you like Sienna Everett..."

Julian Forrester caught Sienna Everett’s glare. She looked like a little kitten with all its fur standing on end. Deciding to put aside his teasing, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I am a loyal fan of Sienna Everett’s."

What?

A loyal fan?

Hearing this answer, the hearts of the audience, which had leaped into their throats, finally dropped back into place. It was like getting off a roller coaster; they all let out a long, collective sigh of relief.

’Oh, so he’s a fan.’

’No wonder he said he liked Sienna Everett.’

Wait a minute!

A fan?!

That’s even more terrifying!

That’s Julian Forrester we’re talking about—the CEO of the Forrester Group, the head of the Forrester Family! He’s powerful, influential, someone to be admired from afar, completely unattainable. And he... follows a celebrity?

And the celebrity he follows is Sienna Everett?

For a man of his status to take a liking to a woman—most people would consider that perfectly normal.

But for him to say he’s a loyal fan of Sienna Everett...

That is genuinely rare!

In the audience, Maxwell Sawyer stared intently at Sienna Everett and Julian Forrester on the stage. He never imagined that Julian Forrester would hold Sienna Everett in such high esteem.

A man of his stature, willingly humbling himself to be someone’s fan...

Morgan Everett’s hands clenched into tight fists, and he ground his teeth, barely managing to suppress his astonishment and keep himself from leaping out of his seat.

’How could that brat Sienna Everett be regarded so highly by Julian Forrester?’

He had assumed that a man like Julian Forrester would never cross paths with Sienna Everett. The scene before him was a heavy slap in the face, shattering his presumptuous belief.

The very same Julian Forrester he had been scheming to meet and curry favor with was instead heaping praise on Sienna Everett.

’How was he supposed to accept this?!’

Morgan Everett’s face turned ashen, and his insides twisted with turmoil.

In the midst of his burning rage, an idea suddenly sparked in Morgan Everett’s mind. ’There’s a way to get the Forrester Family’s investment!’

’To get the Forrester Family’s investment, I can use Sienna Everett...’

Beside him, Miles Everett, after his initial shock, didn’t take long to accept this reality.

’Ever since Sienna Everett left the Everett Family, it seems she’s been doing one unexpected thing after another...’

Hiding in the back row, Shannon Everett felt as if a massive gong had been struck right next to her ear. Her mind was buzzing, and a second later, her fingers clenched tightly around the hem of her dress.

’First, there was Maxwell Sawyer, who kept bidding up to five million for Sienna Everett’s bracelet.’

’Now an even bigger heavyweight, Julian Forrester, bids fifty million, says he likes Sienna Everett, and claims to be her loyal fan...’

Shannon Everett was dying of jealousy!

’Why isn’t Julian Forrester my fan?!’

’Why doesn’t Julian Forrester like me?!’

Back on stage, the host’s eyes darted between Sienna Everett and Julian Forrester. Then, struck by a sudden inspiration, he made another announcement.
