?Chapter 1084:
“Ms. Gordon, what’s wrong?”
“You don’t have any questions?”
“Sorry, what?”
“Like, what options do I have for my career after losing my sight?”
Under the bright lights, the elegant Ellie wore a subtle, confident smile. She seemed rxed and in control, while the host appeared ufortable.
“And what about my life now? Will I be unable to cope after losing my sight?” The crowd went silent.
That was exactly what the troublemakers had hoped the host would ask, and it was also what the organizers had anticipated.
And now, Ellie’s self-deprecating questions seemed to rip away the veil, exposing the critics’ hidden motives.
“Ms. Gordon, there is no need for such concerns. Your career is thriving, and you have countless opportunities. You’re outstanding.” Ellie nodded, epting the praise with no hint of modesty.
She hade to show those who mocked her that, even if she was blind, she could still shine in the spotlight. She wanted to prove them wrong.
The audience was still processing Ellie’s speech when they saw Edwin and Omiros guiding her off the stage, making the crowd even quieter.
“Ellie, are you heading home?” Freddy asked, waiting for her below the stage. Ellie yawned and replied, “There’s more to see. Just hang on a bit longer.” She didn’t go back to her original seat.
The people in her row had already moved around smoothly, leaving the end seat open for her.
Freddy, Edwin, and Omiros stood by the wall in the aisle.
People around kept sneaking nces at Ellie, as if they wanted to speak but were too afraid to.
They were worried about saying the wrong thing and facing the wrath of the three men.

They were even more scared of Ellie’s reaction.
Why did they ever think Ellie was easy-going and a pushover?
“Omiros, what are you doing here?” Ellie asked quietly.
Omiros leaned down to reply. “The club is on break. I heard you were getting an award, so I came to see.”
Ellie smiled. “Did youe by yourself?”
“What? Oh, yes,” Omiros said.
“Then who helped me earlier?” Ellie asked.
“That was me,” Omiros replied.
He recalled his cousin’s advice to keep his involvement a secret.
Ellie yawned again and continued to wait.
Half an hourter, the host began the closing speech for the award ceremony.
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in noise.
Ellie’s lips curled into a quiet smile.
On the big screen, intimate photos of Akira and Briggs appeared, showing them kissing and even in bed.
