Chapter 280 - 277: Rising Star I (1/2)

Serena crumpled the newspaper she's reading from esquire. It's been 3 days since the opening of Benz -motors and as she was eager to read about the success of her beloved, she asked Jack, her personal coachman, to fetch her copies of newspapers which talked about the event that day.

All other newspapers talked about the success of the event, and many even mentioned how she won the Benz-Victoria and out of the goodness of her heart had it re-drawn to have another winner.

All was good, it doesn't really matter if they also praised Emily's voice and how she won the Benz-Victoria after. However, the esquire's published article miffed her.

The reason? Let her quote what was written:

'At the night's most awaited final event, which was the raffle draw for the Benz-Victoria, Lady Serena Maxwell graced the audience with her presence. Not to sing, but to receive the prize, for she won the grand prize. To many of us, it was like fate or maybe destiny.

As many knew, Lord Charlton Daniel just sang a spectacular love song 'you're the inspiration' (by the way, the copy has been sold out everyday since it has been released on Monday), then suddenly, Lady Maxwell was called. We all started cheering for 'Cherena' as they were dubbed, but I have a sad news, or maybe not, for everyone.

According to a reliable source, Lady Serena Maxwell is apparently already engaged. Yes, my dears, engaged. Now, I am sure you're all wondering who the man is, I am not so sure myself, but what I am sure of is that it's not Lord Charlton Daniel.

Who can that man be? For as wonderful as Lord Daniel is, there is still a man who is of better match to our lady. Anyway, let us not pry too much and wait for the reveal later. Let's congratulate Lady Serena and her beau, give them our felicities and blessings!

Now, on the other hand, I don't know if it's sad news for you or not, but I think it's wonderful. Lord Charlton Daniel, the man of every lady's daydream, is still up for grabs!

Moving on, Lady Serena, being the lady of grand birth she was, did not accept the prize she won and have generously given the chance to someone else. In this process, she was invited to draw a stub from the lottery wheel. To everyone's surprise, the winner called was Ms. Emily Evans!

Now, who is this Ms. Emily Evans? Recall that there were also 2 new songs that were sang that night, and one of the singers in the song 'sun and moon', was her.

I can't help but note and praise her voice that night. When she started singing the first line of the song, I felt like there was an angel whispering on my ear. Was it just me or does everyone think the same?

Anyway, I did not give any meaning to Lady Serena handing the prize to Ms. Emily that night, but looking back, it feels so significant now. I mean, Lady Serena has been the leading singer of our age these few months and has opened a new era for the music industry. However, she's already engaged to marry. So, I could not help but speculate. what follows is just my own speculation and my interpretation of why that kind of fate played out.

Since she's already engaged, might it be that she will be retiring soon and was passing the crown to Ms. Emily? Was she giving blessing to this new star? Well, I don't know, but what I am sure of is that Ms. Emily sure will be making waves! As of yesterday, she has been dubbed as the new rising star with the song she sang also being sold out every day since Monday.'

After reading that, who wouldn't be annoyed? Who can that gossip writer be? How did the news of her engagement been outed? Also, what's with the retirement plan?
