Chapter 408 Mom, is that a clown?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After her interview was over, Emilia decided to spend the next few minutes praising and pampering the 'children' who helped organize the play to express her gratitude, much to the delight of a certain 'commander'.
"With this, I don't need to hand anything out from my personal collection as a reward, perfect!"
With over a hundred students in line, it was inevitable that Emilia ended up spending more than a few minutes just listening to their gushing introductions and how delighted they were to finally talk to her in person.
Emilia had no idea that her attempt to impress the people of the Blue Dawn Republic ended up making her existing 'fans' even more fanatical and star-struck than before, and only thought they were being adorably exaggerated as always.
Of course, the ones who had been waiting for the opportunity to introduce themselves to Emilia soon realized that they might not stand a chance, and could only leave with their heads hanging in disappointment.
Even if some recognized Sam in the audience, they didn't dare approach the cold beauty in person for fear of creating a negative impression instead. After all, compared to her cheerful and charming younger sister, the older girl was like a heartless iceberg.
As for the ones without ulterior motives, since most of their curiosities had already been answered in the interview, they left in a good mood without worries.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNaturally, not everyone was in a 'good mood' after the show. In fact, one of Emilia's 'special guests' looked like he had swallowed a fly.
"See, big bro, I told you that the first actress was different!"
Jake's smug tone at the moment couldn't be masked even if he tried his best, and he wasn't trying very hard in the first place.
Recalling how derisive the dark-haired man had been of his opinion before, the blond boy couldn't help but feel refreshed from this proverbial slap to the face. 'See, you can't even recognize the girl you're chasing after, and still have the guts to make fun of others?'
He knew that if there was one thing Alexander hated more than someone 'looking down' on him or stealing his spotlight, that would be 'being proven wrong', especially if he had no way to fight back. historical
Not to mention, with the fragile ego of his 'big bro', it was impossible not to be 'offended' by Emilia's performance.
The blond boy knew that while Alexander might prefer to 'date' girls who had some limelight, it only needed to be enough to 'catch his attention'. Any more than that, and he would personally step in to snuff that light out.
There was no way to tell if these actions stemmed from insecurity or possessiveness, but there was no lack of small actresses he had 'buried' in this way.
Of course, no matter how bad his mood was, Alexander wouldn't 'lower himself' to argue with his 'lapdog', though his dark glare was more than enough to make the blond boy shut up.
Even so, his mood didn't improve at all. While most people started slowly shuffling out, Alexander leaned back on his seat, his face covered in a cloud of gloom. "What else does she have planned? The ticket was for a week, right?"
Jake coughed. "Based on the schedule and list of participants, she should be in at least two more events."
Alexander almost couldn't wait to jump up and go grab Emilia to teach her a lesson, but managed to restrain himself in time when he saw the silver-haired girl in the front row. "… Let's go."
One day, he'll teach this girl how to behave in front of him, but now was not the time.
While he was storming out, however, the dark-haired man ended up crashing into someone headfirst. But even if it was his fault, how could Alexander accept that?
The dark-haired man might just overlook it if he was in a good mood, but it was naturally impossible for him to do in his current state.
Not to mention, this was the second time on the same day that he crashed into this man. How could there be such a coincidence?
"You again!"
The buff blond boy, Johnny, was so terrified of this second confrontation that it immediately triggered his fight or flight instinct, and he dashed away in a flash.
Johnny didn't even realize that he had thrown a punch at the other man's face before running away.
And while Jake was trying his best to suppress his laughter as he followed his 'big bro' who was storming out in impotent rage, a prepubescent boy pointed at the dark-haired man's red nose in excitement.
"Mom, look, there's a clown!"

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmilia had just washed her hands from the unexpected fan meeting when Noelle arrived backstage with the 'unexpected news'. "Really?"
Seeing her nod, the crimson-haired girl couldn't help but shake her head with a rueful smile. "I never thought someone could be worse than Amos… but the competition is tough, huh?"
Hearing the name 'Amos', Crystal immediately jumped up from her mother's side. "What's going on? I didn't see that idiot among the audience before, is he really here?"
"No, I wasn't talking about him, just comparing him to someone..." Since everyone she personally invited was there, Emilia felt a little uncomfortable sharing the news she was going to temporarily 'suppress', but since she slipped up, she could only confess. "Alexander got beaten up by an aunty outside when he tried to hit her son."
While her friends were all familiar with the name, the 'adults' couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Who is Alexander?"
The way Penny's mother stared at her was a little too scary, and Emilia couldn't help but turn to Noelle for help.
Before the gray-haired girl could respond, Sam couldn't take her little sister being so pitiful in front of so many 'aunties', and decided to help her out. "… He's a 'prominent' businessman trying to pursue Emilia, one-sided, of course."
Penny's mother immediately because disinterested, knowing how troublesome it was to write about these types of people, but Koko's mother frowned. "Chasing after miss Emilia? How old is he?"
Sam shrugged. "I don't remember, but he should be around forty, maybe?"
Koko's mom and Mrs. Miller couldn't help but curse at the same time. "Shameless!"
The two of them looked at each other in surprise before nodding.
"How could someone more than twice her age be so—?"
"How could he try to pry my daughter's—!"
