This time, he couldn't hold back his laughter. Those poor guys were probably broke.

That was the only explanation as to why they let a new agent like Ariana, take on a lead role in a movie when she knew nothing about acting.

Jasper was completely relieved now. He put on a proud look again and went to the hall.

Jasper sat in the middle of some unknown actresses who had long since debuted in showbiz. Some of them recognized him and they looked at him from time to time, as if they wanted to start a conversation.

Of course, Jasper knew what these women were up to. He sat leisurely and enjoyed the admiring looks they gave him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that there would be a lot of beautiful women waiting for him when he dumped Brielle.

In the past, when he was with Ariana, he frequently cheated on her with unknown young models and actresses. But he had ultimately decided to bond with Brielle in order to compete for the assets of the Anderson family.

Thinking about that, Jasper suddenly felt bored. All those who had ever wanted to sleep with him were only interested in his money and the prestige of the Anderson Group. Few people really loved him for who he was.

The hall was suddenly very noisy, which pulled Jasper out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw Ariana sitting diagonally across from him. At this moment, her innocent face in the short video began to reappear in his mind, and he felt heat rush up and down his groin.

He frowned at the thought of the unique opportunity he'd missed. He didn't have sex with Ariana when they were dating. Now it wouldn't be easy for him to find such an opportunity again.

Ariana was aware that Jasper was staring at her and she got goose bumps and felt sick.

Fortunately for her, the event soon began. The host took the stage to deliver a motivational speech. Ariana was focused on what was happening on stage and she didn't want to worry about anything else.

There were many awards at this year's film festival, and the short film awards were in the latter half. It was halfway through the event that the awards began.

The host was reading the winners when he suddenly stopped and looked around the stage with a smile, deliberately keeping the tantalizing suspense.

Edgar was so confident that he would win the best short film award that he had already prepared an award-winning speech. He adjusted his clothes and was ready to stand up at any time.

Jasper also showed a confident smile.

With a smile, the host said loudly, "The award for the best short film for this year goes to—The Missing Body directed by Jayson Spears!"

When Jasper heard the winner's name being called, his face turned dark with anger.

Edgar, too, refused to accept the result.

However, they couldn't cause a scene as the event was broadcasted live. Even Jasper knew better than to act so insensibly.
