Tangtang saw Myles shamelessly kneeling on stage, her anger rising, and she coldly snapped, “Myles, I’ll say it again, I don’t like you. No matter what you do, I won’t like you. Stop causing a scene.”
“Please get off the stage. I need to sing the final song for my fans.”
Myles remained kneeling, gazing at her with affection, “I told you, if you don’t agree to marry me, I’ll never get up.”
At this, the crowd erupted in boos.
“God, this guy’s got no shame.”
“Isn’t he forcing Tangtang to say yes?”
“Utterly shameless.”
“What a clown. Does he think he’s worthy of Tangtang?”
“Get off the stage.”
Myles heard the jeers, coldly scanned the audience, and said arrogantly, “I’m the young master of the Rodell family. Am I not worthy of her?”
The crowd gasped.
“What? This guy’s the young master of the Rodell family?”
“I heard the Rodell family is the richest in the world. If he’s really their young master, he might actually be a match for Tangtang.”
“Tangtang’s just a celebrity. Compared to true nobility, she’s nothing. The Rodell heir liking her is her climbing up.”
Uninformed audience members commented.
Tangtang said again, “Myles, I don’t care about your status or background. I don’t like you.”
“Please leave the stage now.”
“Don’t waste everyone’s time.”
Myles addressed the audience, “I promise, if my proposal succeeds, I’ll give everyone here a ten-thousand-yuan red envelope.”
“So, a little delay won’t bother you, right?”
Ten thousand yuan was a year’s hard-earned salary for many.
Thinking of easily pocketing that sum, some in the crowd began to cheer.
“Marry him.”
“Marry him.”
The chants grew louder.
Tangtang’s face turned livid with anger, “Myles, if you keep acting unreasonably, don’t blame me for not giving you face. I’ll call security to remove you.”
Myles smirked, “Tangtang, haven’t you realised yet? Why do you think this happened during your concert? Because I’ve bought off the organisers and staff.”
“Try calling security. See if they’ll make me leave.”
Tangtang realised something was off.
Normally, security would have intervened by now, but not a single guard had appeared.
Myles said, “Tangtang, if you want the concert to continue, there’s only one way. Agree to my proposal.”
“In your dreams,” Tangtang said. “I’ll never agree.”
Myles laughed, “Fine, I’ll kneel here then. I’ve got plenty of time.”
Tangtang was furious, “You…”
Slap!
Suddenly, Myles slapped himself, and the noisy crowd fell silent.
“What’s he doing?”
“Why’s he hitting himself?”
The audience was baffled.
Then Myles slapped himself several more times, saying, “I’m not human, I’m not human.”
“I’ve messed around with women. Last year, I spent seven sweet days with Hepburn in Greece.”
The crowd exploded.
“Hepburn’s a Hollywood icon, always portrayed as pure, the first true ingénue in a century. Who’d have thought she’s like that in private?”
Myles continued, “Last month, I had dinner with Lady Marie, and we got intimate in her husband’s office.”
The audience was in an uproar.
“Who’s Lady Marie?”
“You don’t know Lady Marie?”
“She’s Europe’s first lady. Her husband’s a head of state…”
Myles kept confessing.
Each revelation was earth-shattering.
Tangtang was puzzled. Why was Myles exposing his own scandals? It was bizarre.
Could it be…
She glanced at Ye Qiu in the audience, seeing his smile, and understood instantly.
Myles confessed a dozen more scandals, involving heads of state’s wives, Hollywood stars, and supermodels.
All were celebrities.
Reporters in the crowd opened laptops, rapidly editing stories, some filming videos.
After a while, Myles started scratching himself, as if bugs were crawling on him.
He scratched harder, then stood, tearing off his suit, shirt, and trousers in front of thousands, left in just his underwear.
He kept scratching like a madman.
Soon, his body was covered in bloody scratches.
“What’s wrong with this guy?”
“Is he losing it?”
“He’s gone mad.”
The audience remarked.
“Quick, film this. Get his every move.”
“Didn’t expect a concert to give us this kind of news.”
“Our website’s traffic has been low, and I was struggling for ideas. Myles’s story will make it soar.”
“The Rodell heir involved with Hollywood stars and a first lady? This news will shake the world.”
“Get a close-up of Myles.”
Reporters were thrilled.
Moments later, Myles came to his senses, feeling cold. Looking down, he was utterly confused.
What’s going on?
Wasn’t I proposing?
Can someone tell me what happened?
Was it Tangtang?
“What did you do to me?” Myles shouted, pointing at Tangtang.
“I didn’t do anything,” Tangtang said. “I want to ask you, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m not sick…” Before Myles could finish, the crowd burst into laughter.
“Just you wait.” Myles spat out a threat and turned to leave.
But as he stepped off the stage, he slipped on a wet wipe, fell, and bashed his head, blood streaming.
His bodyguards rushed to help him up.
“Get lost, useless lot.”
Myles swung his arm, hitting a bodyguard. The guard was fine, but Myles stumbled back two steps.
His foot landed on another wet wipe, and he crashed to the ground.
“Young master, are you alright?”
The bodyguards bent to help him again.
Somehow, as they leaned down, it felt like someone pushed them. In an instant, the burly bodyguards collapsed, crushing Myles beneath them.
Myles let out a pig-like squeal, “Ah…”
