"Yes, Jennie is my daughter. Doesn't she look like me?" Chaerin said, confirming her mother and daughter relationship with Jennie.

The people around them heard her. Now everyone became more curious about Jennie Kim. They looked at her a little differently than before. She might be a newcomer in the Sommet International Film Festival, but her impressive connections with important people already made her memorable compared to the other newbies.

In addition to this, she also became a nominee for one of the prestigious awards on her first try at such a young age. Just by looking at her, she should be around her early twenties. In fact, the other foreigners even thought that she might still be a teenager because of her youthful look.

"Honeeeeey, dear Lisa, come here," Chaerin repeated.

"Yes, Mother," Jennie replied. She excused herself from the reporters and pulled Lisa's hand.

When the couple reached Chaerin, she introduced the two of them to her "new friends". She called Jennie her "beloved one and only daughter" and Lisa as her "dearest future son-in-law". Grandpa and Jiyong joined them as well.

More VIP guests arrived on the red carpet. Upon seeing the group huddling together and recognizing some friends and acquaintances, they also joined the group. As a result, the group became bigger. It consisted of some of the most important and well-known figures in the world.

The others looking at them couldn't help but feel starstruck. Some of them even felt envious, wishing that they could also become part of the group. Unfortunately, they didn't think that they would fit in. They wondered how unknown personalities like Jennie Kim and Jiyong Kwon could fit in the group. It was only when they learned that Jennie was the fiancée of billionaire Lisa Manoban and the daughter of a Spanish viscountess while Jiyong was Sir Jian's grandson that they understood why.

'Ah, so it's nepotism,'they muttered to themselves in envy.

They thought that Jennie and Jiyong were just using their familial relations in order to connect with so many important people. Envy clouded their judgment. They didn't think that Jennie or Jiyong might have achievements of their own. For now, they had negative impressions of the two. They thought that both of them didn't deserve to be included in the group of impressive people.

As for the reporters, they didn't care about this kind of thoughts at the moment. Instead, they were having a field day photographing and recording the group's interactions on video.

Of course, the local reporter livestreaming the opening night made sure to focus on the local attendees, especially on Jennie and Lisa. This was his second livestream of the night. He had to cut off his first livestream after the first red carpet ended earlier. The media weren't allowed to photograph or record anything on video during the opening ceremony. Fortunately, they were still allowed to watch inside and take notes.

When he ended his first livestream earlier, there were more than 200,000 viewers. It was already an impressive number and vastly exceeded his initial expectations. His boss back in the country even called to congratulate him and to encourage him to work harder.

Once he started the second livestream, he was shocked out of his wits. Within a few seconds, the view count reached more than 1 million, and it was still increasing every few seconds. It should already be around 3 AM back in the country. What were all of these people doing? They weren't going to sleep?

After the initial shock, the reporter became super excited. His boss called him again and promised to give him a promotion after he returned to the country. This made him more determined to closely follow Jennie, Lisa and the other local attendees throughout the entire duration of the Sommet International Film Festival.

Back in the country, everyone was in uproar after discovering that Jennie and Lisa were engaged to each other. Despite the time, people called their family and friends, rousing them from sleep, in order to tell them to watch the livestream.

"Jennie Kim and CEO Manoban are engaged!!! Hurry up and watch the livestream!!! OMG!!! They're holding hands!!!"

This was the reason why the second livestream instantly reached 1 million viewers when it just started. In fact, it would soon reach 1.5 million viewers.

People were live-commenting like crazy while watching.

"Is this for real?! I can't believe this! First, I honestly thought that Boss is engaged to Prince. She repeatedly denied it, so I slowly accepted that it might not be the case. A couple of days ago, she was photographed walking the streets in France with that hunky Jiyong, so I thought that maybe he's her real fiancé. I didn't really mind because he looks so HOT, even with that scar on his face. But it turns out that I'm wrong again. Never did I expect that Boss' real fiancé is actually CEO Lisa Manoban!!! WTF!!!"

"This is so unbelievable! I'm so shook!!!"

"From Taennie to Ji-nnie...and now Jenlisa?"

"That's a good one! Jenlisa, I like it!!!"

"Noooo! I'm not sure about this pairing! CEO Manoban looks too cold and mean! What if he treats Boss badly?! He looks like an ice block, not romantic at all! Boss deserves someone who'll love her passionately till the end of time!"

Then suddenly, a shocking user joined the comments.

V: "Yes, Big Brother was an ice block but Sister-in-law Jennie managed to melt the ice around his heart. Now he's such a doting hubby that I want to puke whenever they drown me with dogfood."

"!!!"

"Prince, is that you?!!!"

V: "Of course. Who else? My phone kept ringing in the middle of the night because of people wanting to ask me if my big brother is really engaged to Jennie Kim. Now I can't sleep anymore, so I might as well watch this livestream."

The netizens interviewed V, and he answered most of the questions while filtering and blocking the rude ones. He confirmed that he knew about his brother's relationship with Jennie since last year.

Later, the livestream reached 2 million viewers.

V wasn't the only Manoban watching the livestream. The Manoban branch families also tuned in, shocked to discover the identity of their future Madam.
