Chapter: 67
Lilliana leaned against him, shaking uncontrollably. "Why is this happening?"
She had not only lost the competition today, but her history of lip -syncing was also about to be revealed.
How could this happen?
How could Alicia be connected to Iris?
Lilliana felt a mix of anger and fear as tears streamed down her face.
"Joshua, what should we do?" she sobbed. "The promotion for this event was massive, and now I've embarrassed myself like this. How can I continue in the entertainment industry?"
Joshua's expression darkened with anger.
So Iris might actually be Alicia.
The realization hit him with a mix of shock and irony. Alicia had waited all this time for this very moment.
Was it all to get revenge on him? To complicate his life?
Alicia was quite an ex-wife!
Joshua now realized that he had underestimated her.
He felt anger rising within him as he searched for a solution.
After a moment, he tightened his grip on the crying woman in his arms. A fierce determination shone in his eyes.
Alicia had seen today's scene coming.
She didn't waste any time and headed backstage to change out of her elaborate gown.
The crowd was engrossed in the spectacle, leaving the dressing room nearly empty. Feeling a bit fatigued, Alicia pulled the curtain closed and began to undress.
Alicia had worn the gown only once and wanted to avoid damaging it, so she handled it with care.
After hanging it up, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't brought any change of clothes with her.
At that moment, she heard the door open.
A surge of hope filled Alicia as she asked softly, "Are you my makeup artist?"
There was no response.
Thinking she might have misheard, she called out again, but still received no answer.
Alicia peeked out from behind the curtain but found no one there.
Clutching her chest, she tiptoed out cautiously.
As she turned a corner, she spotted Caden sitting in a makeup chair, watching her with an amused expression.
"Jesus christ!" Alicia screamed internally.
She froze for several seconds before turning and running away, still clutching her chest. In her frustration, she yanked the curtain shut.
Caden smiled as he picked up the clothes from her chair and walked toward her.
Alicia shouted, "Why didn't you answer when I called? You're such a pervert!"
