Leading the way was Grace, dressed strikingly provocative today — her low-cut neckline revealed smooth, fair skin and perfect curves that drew every eye in the lobby.
She smiled sweetly and walked right up to Jason Carter, looping her arm through his without hesitation."Jason, you're here."
Ethan, who had already been feeling that something wasn't right, froze on the spot when he saw this.His mouth dropped open, his entire face full of shock.
What the hell was going on? Jason actually had that kind of luck?
Helly and the other well-dressed men and women behind them were also stunned, whispering among themselves as they watched.
Even the other streamers in the hall looked surprised.
As a newly promoted S-tier streamer, Grace had top-tier resources — practically everyone in the company recognized her.
And as a rising star, wasn't she supposed to keep her distance from men?
Even if she had a boyfriend, that kind of thing had to be kept secret.
If she made it public, would the company still promote her?
Doing something so bold and open at the annual gala — was she just throwing away her career?
Or… was this man really worth sacrificing everything for?
What kind of guy was he?
"Who's that guy Grace is holding on to?"
"No idea, but he's pretty good-looking."
"Never heard of him. Probably a new male streamer."
"Holding hands with a newbie at the annual event? Wow, Grace must really be obsessed with looks."
"She just got an S-tier contract, and she's already risking it like this?"
At that moment, another woman approached quickly.
She was dressed elegantly, exuding her usual fashionable aura — a long black evening gown, matching silk gloves, and her hair styled to the side in soft waves, giving her the air of a modern princess.
The moment she saw Grace holding Jason's arm, her steps faltered slightly.
Grace, ever the sharp one, instantly understood the situation from her reaction.
Just a few days ago, the two had run into each other at Blue Sky Residences and, after chatting, realized how coincidental it was — not only were they both streamers at New Vision Media, they even lived in the same neighborhood.
But now, it was clear this wasn't a coincidence at all.
She realized she was likely another of Jason Carter's women — someone he had also settled at Blue Sky Residences.
Two lovers meeting face-to-face like this…Wasn't this about to become a full-blown showdown?
However, she only paused for a brief moment before gracefully stepping forward, taking Jason's other arm, and even smiling politely at Grace.
Grace quickly regained her composure as well, returning a charming smile.
Jason, seeing this, felt deeply satisfied — sighing inwardly.
Indeed, even with women, it's important to find those who understand boundaries and know how to handle themselves.
If it had been other like Holly or Megan, they probably would've caused a huge scene right here.
Ethan, standing nearby, almost felt his eyeballs pop out of his head.
No way. What on earth was he seeing?
One sexy bombshell was already unbelievable — but now there was another, elegant and refined, joining in…And both of them were calmly holding onto Jason, without fighting or jealousy?
He'd dated seven or eight girlfriends in his life, but he'd never even imagined being embraced by two stunning women at once.
And not just any women — both of them were S-tier contract streamers, the top level in the company!They didn't even care about their reputations or future contracts — they just wanted to show affection for this man openly?
What kind of power did Jason Carter have…?
The other female streamers inside and outside the hall were equally stunned, while the male streamers' eyes turned red with envy.
One had a fiery, seductive figure that made blood boil, while the other had a calm, elegant beauty that could steal a man's soul with just one glance.
Having even one of them would be something to brag about — yet this guy had both at the same time.
Helly opened her mouth slightly, her expression mixed with surprise and curiosity, quietly retracting her earlier underestimation of Jason Carter. She gave him another couple of looks, trying to figure him out.
She couldn't quite tell what Jason's true background was, but the fact that two S-tier streamers were openly throwing themselves at him meant he definitely wasn't some ordinary newcomer.
Many times, women are like this — when they see a man surrounded by beautiful women, they don't necessarily feel jealousy. Instead, they become curious, wondering what it is about him that draws such attention.
Helly thought back to high school but couldn't recall much about Jason Carter. He'd seemed like an ordinary guy back then — maybe a bit good-looking, but nothing particularly special.
Then again, they weren't in the same class. The fact that she even remembered his face was impressive enough.
But the spectacle wasn't over yet. Two more figures stepped forward — Alice and Agela.
The moment they saw Jason standing there with a woman on each arm, faint annoyance flickered across their faces.
They were irritated that they'd fallen behind again, missing their chance — and now, with two women already by Jason's side, it was even harder to get close.
Alice was frustrated that, after driving Jason earlier, she hadn't seized the moment the way Grace had.
Agela was equally annoyed — she'd met Jason at the auto show. If she'd been bolder back then, maybe she would've earned the same favor as Grace and Alice.
Her looks were certainly no worse, maybe even better. If she'd just acted sooner, maybe she would be the one standing at Jason's side right now — maybe even holding that S-tier contract that Grace had secured.
Yes, in her mind, standing beside Jason Carter at this moment was an honor — even if she had to share the spotlight.
After all, once people learned their relationship, every female streamer in the company would envy them.
Unable to squeeze in next to Jason, the two women stopped at the front and respectfully greeted him."Hello, Mr. Carter."
Ethan stood there, his expression like he'd seen a ghost.
He turned to stare at Jason, his mind blank, remembering how he'd just been giving Jason "advice" about dealing with women. Now he just felt like a clown.
What in the world had happened to Jason Carter?
Just a short while ago, people in the streamer group chat were joking that he was a simp — and now he was a full-on playboy?
And not just with any women — the quality here was insane. Each one of these four women was more beautiful than any girlfriend Ethan had ever had.
He nearly laughed out loud, shaking his head.Sure, he had told Jason not to simp before — but he hadn't meant for him to go and collect girlfriends like achievements!
Ethan practically bowed to Jason, grinning like a madman."Jason, man, I was blind earlier! Please forgive my stupidity. Brother Carter, teach me your ways!"
Just then, Jason subtly stepped to the side — clearly avoiding Alice as she approached.
Ethan's eyes widened even further.
No way. Don't tell me this guy's seriously bored of women like her.
This level of beauty — others would kill just to talk to her — and he's out here dodging her like she's a problem?
The other male streamers around the hall nearly fainted with frustration.
You bastard, you're too much.
Meanwhile, Alice herself was on the verge of tears.
In Jason's eyes, was she really that unbearable?
Not long ago, Jason had deleted her from his contacts — she'd thought maybe it was an accident, since she hadn't done anything wrong.
But now… it was clear. He'd done it on purpose.
But why? She hadn't offended him… had she?
Helly, seeing all this, grew even more intrigued. She couldn't resist pulling out her phone and messaging the old high school classmates' group chat, asking about Jason Carter.
But none of them seemed to know much. They weren't from the same class and hadn't kept in touch with him, so she got no real information.
Which only made her more curious about who Jason Carter really was.
