Chapter 300 The Stolen Spotlight
Apparently, there really was a photographer who had captured the full face.
“I have it! Transfer the money to view!”
Just as he collected the payment and prepared to send the photo, a dark shadow loomed over him.

Before long, the impatient netizens tagged him directly. “Where’s the photo? I already sent the money.” “The money has been refunded to the original account lied to you; there is no photo.”
When the netizens, feeling cheated, threatened to dox him, they discovered the photographer had permanently deleted his account.
This was not an isolated incident.
Virtually no photographer managed to capture a full–face photo. The entire internet was scoured, yielding only that one viral side–profile shot.
Some netizens sensitively smelled a rat. “There were at least thirty photographers, if not a hundred. With that many lenses, they managed to capture the producer’s nosehairs, so how could they possibly miss the full face of a living person? They must have been forcefully suppressed! This person has a powerful background!”
The highly resourceful netizens guessed correctly.
The person enforcing the suppression was an entity none of them could afford to offend. They quietly deleted the photos.
“Boss, the photos have all been taken care of.”
“Mm. Give the order: avoid her in all official event photos tonight.”
“Yes.”
Since she didn’t like attention, he would shield her.
That face was too easy to attract unwanted attention.
He would learn to give her freedom, but he would also block the outside world’s gaze.
Tatiana sat in her chair, waiting for the ceremony to begin, her eyes instinctively scanning the surroundings, looking for Ann and Hubert’s location.
She searched but couldn’t find them.
As she wondered, her phone vibrated.
She opened it; it was a message from Jasper.
“Right side, look up.”
She followed the instruction, immediately spotting his tall figure leaning against the railing.
The venue had a second floor, where compartments were separated by a railing around the perimeter,

Jasper had both hands resting on the railing, his distinctively jointed fingers wrapped around the iron bar. His body leaned slightly forward, his posture languid yet aristocratic. His eyes were curved in a smile as he looked in her direction.
His handsome features were usually aggressive, but the faint smile on his lips made him look gentle, drawing immense attention.
He curved a finger and lightly tapped the railing, as if conveying a message.
Tatiana instantly understood. He was telling her to relax
Several female artists beside her noticed him and began whispering:
“Who is that? He is too handsome.”
“Anyone on the second floor must have a serious background.”
“He’s looking over here and smiling! Who is he looking at?”
“Who else could he be looking at among the people in this row?”
Tatiana quietly lowered her head, letting her hair shield half her face, afraid of being noticed.
A soft chuckle came from beside her. “Who else could he be looking at?”
“You’re right. Rina is sitting in our row, isn’t she? That’s great; she has such good resources right after debuting.”
“If you looked that good, you’d have resources too.”
Tatiana paused, turning to look at the person sitting next to her and behind her. It was a girl wearing a pink petal dress and a beautiful floral crown, very young and very pretty.
She vaguely remembered the largest screen on the street advertising this girl’s jewelry commercial.
She was a well–known celebrity.
She was also a special guest at tonight’s ceremony.
She was the kind of person who would still stand out even when surrounded by a crowd of beautiful
women.
Anna, sitting next to Tatiana, heard their conversation and was about to indignantly retort, “You misunderstood, he’s looking at… mmmph.”
Tatiana quickly clapped a hand over Anna’s mouth.
“Shh.”
Anna blinked innocently, signaling that she wouldn’t speak, before Tatiana released her.
“Why can’t I say anything? They’re just deluding themselves.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. He isn’t looking at me.”

“Heh.”

Why are you laughing?”
“Tati, do I look like an idiot?”
