Chapter 178: My Favorite Is Olivia

Olivia and Joycelyn joined the other three guests already gathered at the meeting spot. Apart from the two women, the other guests were all men. Shawn Fisher, a well-established actor, recently received a Best Actor nomination for his performance in a hit film. Louis Payne, a fresh-faced idol from Zenith Entertainment, had captivated fans with his striking looks the moment he appeared in public. Olivia recognized both of them; they had also been part of the show in her past life.

But when Olivia's eyes landed on the third guest, she froze. Hudson Sullivan, dressed in casual attire, stood nearby, smiling as the crew helped him with his microphone. The camera seemed to linger obsessively on his face.

"What's going on here?" Olivia wondered. "Why is Hudson on this show? I distinctly remember that the third guest was supposed to be a veteran actor in my previous life. Why is it Hudson now?"

The live stream for With You, Under The Sky exploded with activity as Hudson appeared.

“This is my idol’s first screen appearance! Clear the way! I need to bask in his brilliance!”

“Hudson looks incredible! I didn’t think the production team could actually invite him!”

Hudson's arrival created an instant buzz among viewers. Some, unfamiliar with him, asked, “Who is Hudson? He doesn’t seem to be part of the entertainment industry.”

Fans eagerly responded, “He’s not in the entertainment industry! Hudson is a violin genius who began world tours at sixteen and has won every major violin award. This is his first variety show appearance!”

“And his father? He’s the CEO of Sullivan Group.”

“If Hudson ever stops playing the violin, he’ll inherit billions instead!”

“This is a rare chance to see him. His concert tickets are ridiculously expensive!”

The chat was filled with details about Hudson’s talents and background. Even the other guests treated him with noticeable respect.

Joycelyn was awestruck when she saw Hudson. His exceptional looks were enough to make him a star, even without his multi-billion-dollar family fortune. If not for the cameras, Joycelyn would have rushed over to connect with him. After all, the heir to Sullivan Group was the ultimate dream partner for many women.

As the program began, the guests introduced themselves one by one. Shawn went first, as the eldest, followed by Joycelyn and Louis. When it was Hudson's turn, the host capitalized on the moment, knowing Hudson's debut was a hot topic.

“Hudson, you rarely attend domestic events. Are you familiar with the other guests here?”

Hudson smiled politely. “I don’t spend much time in the country, but I’ve seen everyone’s works before.”

The group chuckled, but the host pushed further, asking, “So, Hudson, whose work do you admire the most?”

All eyes turned to Hudson. For the guests, it didn’t matter whether he had actually seen their work. The mere mention of their name by Hudson could bring a surge of attention.

Olivia, who had been mostly ignored by the cameras, stood quietly, happy to stay unnoticed. But just as Olivia thought she could remain in the background, Hudson’s gaze shifted to her, piercing through the crowd.

“My favorite,” he said, “is Ms. Olivia’s performance as Penelope in A Little Spark of Joy.”

Hudson’s declaration left everyone at the scene frozen in disbelief.
