The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 44

Chapter44

Thinking about it, Roxanne didn’t take this person seriously.

On the other side, Stephanie checked the set by the stage.

“The Ethereal Voice” had 12 contestants, 3 guests, and 5 rounds. There was a one–week break between each round.

The show was live first, then they edited the highlights from the live and put them online.

Both types of audience were taken care of.

Today was the first livestream, mainly for the guests and players to show up, and also for picking teams.

12 contestants were put into the teams of the 3 guests.

One of the guests was Roxanne, and the other two guests were both well–known professional singers in the music industry.

Stephanie carefully walked around on stage.

There was a rehearsal before, but at that time she was too weak, so she just watched a bit remotely, and even the other coordination was done remotely.

There had been rumors before that Serena acted like a diva, but Jeremiah settled it with the higher–ups by showing a medical record with the name erased.

It seemed like a really serious accident happened ten days ago.

Up close at the scene, you could still see the bruises on “Serena” that

the foundation didn’t fully cover.

This really was because of an injury, so there wasn’t any acting like a big shot.

Stephanie also noticed the staff’s probing look, but she didn’t know what was going on, so she just ignored it and kept checking carefully.

After a while, there was a commotion, and Stephanie looked up instinctively.

Then, she saw Maxwell.

“Wow, it really was Mr. Humphrey!”

“Didn’t they say Maxwell usually didn’t come to this kind of thing?”

“Oh, you didn’t even check who the guest was.

“I got it, you must’ve come for Roxanne.”

“Of course, the Humphrey Group did get involved in entertainment, but it was all in other areas. Their main business was still high–tech. Look at all the guests and contestants here–besides Roxanne, who else could get Maxwell to show up?”

“So the rumors online about Roxanne and Máxwell were true?”

“Eight or nine times out of ten.”

“But didn’t Maxwell have a wife?”

“Wasn’t this kind of thing pretty common among rich people? And Roxanne was about to die, I figured the real wife just turned a blind eye. Plus, I felt like Roxanne was better than that woman. That woman had no backbone at all, she could even put up with this. Probably just couldn’t let go of the Humphrey family’s wealth.”

“I felt the same way. If my boyfriend flirted outside, I would have kicked him with the Eighteen Dragon–Subduing Palms. Let alone this situation. A spoiled wife who couldn’t stand on her own deserved it.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Jeremiah walked over, looking unhappy. “Don’t you know you can’t just talk about things like that?”

A few people who were gossiping backed off right away.

Jeremiah walked over and gave Stephanie a worried look.

There were too many people talking, so Jeremiah couldn’t say much, he just gave a look.

Stephanie smiled and shook her head gently.

She had already made up her mind not to be with Maxwell, so what was there to be afraid of with a bit of gossip?

“I got someone to go over the details with you again, they’re right in the back, let’s go now,” Jeremiah said.

Stephanie nodded, then followed Jeremiah to the backstage.

On the other side, Roxanne had already come over to Maxwell.

“Max!” Roxanne called him, smiling.

“Mm.” Maxwell nodded, and when he looked up, he just saw Jeremiah leading a woman in a long coat to the backstage He saw her from the back.

Roxanne followed Maxwell’s gaze, then smiled and said, “That’s Serena.”
