The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 490 - They're Engaged?!!!

The majority of the film festival's participants were unknown faces. Many of them might be famous in their home countries, but they were all considered newbies in the international scene. Only a few participants were world-famous celebrities. As a result, the media would usually just go through the motions and take photos of whoever posed in front of them, even though they had no idea who the hell they were photographing. It was part of the red carpet event's programme.

Attendees would pose in front of the cameras wearing their best dresses, suits, or if they were daring enough, costumes or other unconventional outfits. Many fashion and entertainment media outlets published various best and worst-dressed rankings throughout the duration of the Sommet International Film Festival. In addition to showcasing arts and culture of films from all around the world, the film festival was basically a parade of fashion as well.

The paparazzi and the reporters were always ready to photograph the participants at any given time throughout the duration of the film festival, especially on a formal event like the opening night. They never knew when one of the photos they took would become a front cover for a magazine or be featured by popular publications. But of course, they still prioritized taking photos of important and well-known people. After all, a magazine featuring a famous person would almost always sell well compared to those featuring unknown faces.

As one of the wealthiest men in the world, Lisa was considered as an important and well-known figure in the business industry. He was often included in various lists such as "Wealthiest in the World", "Most Powerful Businesspeople in Asia/World", "Top Economic Figures", "World's Best CEOs", "World's Most Eligible Bachelors in Business", and other similar impressive rankings.

In addition, he was only in his late twenties. He had ample time to become even more impressive. If he didn't make any major career mistakes, he could definitely create his own business legacy just by being a stable and reliable leader. Although he wasn't a rare business genius like Sir Jian or even his own grandfather, Lisa was still one of the most formidable and reliable business leaders in the world in his generation.

Marrying him meant entering a lavish life of wealth and luxury. It was akin to marrying a king. So it wasn't surprising that many people would be interested in the woman who he had chosen to marry. Looking at Lisa's possessive arm around the woman's waist, she should be his mysterious fiancée.

The couple posed together in front of the enthusiastic cameras. Their little intimate actions—gazing into each other's eyes, keeping their bodies in close contact, Lisa nuzzling Jennie's head—were all seen by everyone. The paparazzi and the reporters eagerly lapped the couple's public displays of affection.

Of course, they saw the sparkling diamond ring on Jennie's finger. They zoomed in on the ring and took countless photos of it. In addition to the ring, many also noticed the couple's matching bangles. This time, Lisa deliberately wore a suit that had sleeves a couple of inches shorter than what he usually wore. His luxury watch and JL bangle around each wrist were visible for everyone to see.

Diamond ring? Matching bangles? Not to mention that the two looked like they were on the verge of making out in front of everyone on the red carpet?

If the couple said that they weren't engaged after this, nobody would believe them.

Manoban Corporation's President-CEO and billionaire Lisa Manoban was finally engaged! Not only that. It also looked like he was completely in love with his fiancée just by the way he looked at her, like she was the only woman in the world for him. He, a man noted for avoiding close association to women and was even rumoured to be gay before, was now proudly showing off his lady to the entire world.

Everyone felt curious about Jennie Kim.

Some of the reporters remembered her meeting up with Maestro Ludovico De Luca and Enrique Valdez at a café the other day. That time, she was accompanied by a man who had a scar on his face. That distinct-looking man ended up attending the red carpet event with the business genius Sir Jian. They discovered that he was actually Sir Jian's grandson. So it seemed that Jennie was connected to the Kwons, as well.

Then on the same day, she was also photographed with the woman who turned out to be a Spanish viscountess. Many of the foreign reporters didn't know yet that Chaerin and Jennie were actually mother and daughter.

A few of the reporters also remembered her name among the nominees for the film festival's Best Soundtrack Award.

And now she attended the opening night in the arms of billionaire Lisa Manoban whose family was on the same level as the Kwons.

Who in the world was this woman?

Not only did she have all of these impressive connections with important people, but it looked like she was also a talented music composer in her own right. After all, she wouldn't be nominated for Best Soundtrack Award if she didn't have the skills. The Sommet International Film Festival only shortlisted films of the highest quality. If Jennie Kim was nominated, then it meant that her work met the high standards of the selection committee. Even if she didn't win this time, she had already gained the respect of the film festival's followers just by being a nominee.

While the foreign media continued to snap photos of the posing couple and also started making mental plans to dig for more information about Jennie Kim, the local reporters present were all in utter shock. They goggled at Jennie and Lisa in total disbelief.

Their eyes fell on Jennie's engagement ring, the couple's matching bangles, and their obvious intimacy. They blinked their eyes several times and took a closer look at the couple's faces just to make sure that they were really Jennie and CEO Lisa Manoban.

Despite the shock, their hands automatically snapped countless photos of the couple. The reporter livestreaming the event for the local viewers back home made sure to get a careful close-up of Jennie and Lisa. Of course, he focused on the engagement ring and their matching JL bangles to ensure that the viewers would clearly get the hint about the true nature of the pair's relationship.

The foreigners present at the event might not think much about Jennie and Lisa's relationship, but this was a big deal to the local people, especially to Jennie' fans, those related to showbiz, high society and the business world in the country.

Back in the country, the livestream's view count had now reached more than 120,000 and it was still increasing by the minute. At the beginning, it was mostly the Black Stars who were watching, but Chaerin's surprising appearance as a viscountess resulted in a sudden spike in view count. When the cast and crew of "Strong Yet Broken" started appearing, more Black Stars logged in to watch the livestream in anticipation of their Bossm' debut in the Sommet International Film Festival.

Upon seeing their boss acting so intimate with CEO Lisa Manoban, all of them were shocked out of their wits.

"What the hell?! Jennie Kim and Lisa Manoban are engaged?!!!"
