Chapter 461:
Therefore, she anticipated that Ashton would be in the audience right below the stage.
True to her expectations, after scanning the crowd carefully, she spotted Ashton secluded in a corner.
Upon seeing him, Kirsten was struck with an idea. She rose to her feet and suggested to the show’s host,
“I’ve just had a minor mix-up with a fan. To show my apologies, I’d like to invite him up here on stage p>
As soon as she finished speaking, she pointed at Ashton, who was sitting in the corner.
In reality, this variety show had been meticulously orchestrated by Ashton as a trap. The director, having been informed by Zeke of Ashton’s significant status, was told to accord him the highest regard.
Initially, the director assumed Zeke was exaggerating. That changed when his superior, the head of the TV station, subtly emphasized Ashton’s importance, confirming the gravity of the situation. The director then conveyed this directive to the show’s entire crew.
Observing this, a staff member approached Ashton with a microphone and respectfully whispered,
“Mr. Baldwin, would you care to join her onstage? However, I suspect she might have a hidden agenda. Please be careful p>
Gratefully acknowledging the warning, Ashton responded with the microphone,
“Thanks for the invite from the star, but regrettably, I’m not a fan, so perhaps this chance should go to someone else who values it p>
His rejection, particularly public and during a recording, left Kirsten feeling deeply humiliated. She was so infuriated that she found herself momentarily breathless.

However, she quickly regained her composure and resumed her professional demeanor.
Her true intent in calling Ashton to the stage was to stir media interest. It mattered little whether Ashton accepted or not.
As long as he responded to her as he just had, Kirsten would achieve her objective.
At that moment, Kirsten was overwhelmed by conflicting emotions, a mixture of joy and anger.
She knew that as soon as Ashton had started the conversation with her, he had already fallen into the trap she had carefully set for him.
As an actress, Kirsten’s ability to mask her true emotions was unparalleled. It was a skill she had honed over years of acting in movies and TV dramas. So, she skillfully hid her feelings, standing on stage with a regretful and aggrieved expression.
She let out a soft sigh and said, with a carefully crafted look of innocence and resignation, “Mr. Ashton Baldwin, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us, so I want to take this opportunity to clear things up and avoid any further conflict p>
The fans in the audience were shocked when they heard Kirsten mention Ashton’s name. They exchanged confused glances, and whispers erupted around them.
