Chapter 1517 - 1558: Always Watching You

Several celebrities attended this gathering, looking to network and seek favors.

The May Family has investments in the film industry, so it was only natural for Theodora May to receive an invitation. However, with Lady Li still at the May residence, Theodora didn’t plan to join the gathering. Just as she was about to decline, Jeremiah May unexpectedly asked, "I read in the news that Atlas Shaw will come to F City today. Is he attending this gathering?"

"That... I’m not sure, but the crew of the TV series starring Atlas Shaw also received an invitation, so they should send someone over," the person delivering the invitation replied.

"Then I’ll go," Jeremiah said.

Theodora raised an eyebrow but said nothing. After the person delivering the invitation left, Theodora remarked, "Since when did you start chasing after celebrities?"

"I haven’t," Jeremiah replied.

"So you’re not planning to attend the gathering just to see Atlas Shaw?" Theodora said with a smile.

"..." Jeremiah pursed his thin lips. The usually mature boy, who often appeared like a little adult, now showed an awkwardness befitting his age. "It’s not that I want to see what this person is like, why so many fans like him." Even that silly little kid could say how much they like Atlas, which sparked Jeremiah’s impulse to see Atlas Shaw for himself.

Theodora was rather pleased to see her nephew acting like a normal 12-year-old, stood up, and patted his shoulder. "At your age, it’s normal to be a fan, so you don’t need to feel burdened."

Jeremiah felt a surge of frustration, tempted to argue back, but after opening his mouth, he swallowed his words.

Should he tell his uncle that his curiosity about Atlas Shaw was because of that silly little girl? He would only be further mocked by his uncle.

During the evening dinner, Jeremiah did indeed see Atlas Shaw. This man, just like on screen, was strikingly handsome and his well-proportioned physique, even when standing silently, seemed to draw attention like a spotlight.

Many other celebrities attended the gathering, but Atlas Shaw was undoubtedly the most eye-catching, surrounded by people like a moon surrounded by stars.

However, 12-year-old Jeremiah entirely missed the fact that he himself was quite the spectacle too.

In a tailored suit with a matching bow tie, he looked like a little Prince Thompson. Even with a cold expression on his face, his exquisite features with a touch of aloofness seemed to draw others closer, making them want to steal glances.

"By the way, did you notice that young master of the May Family has been watching you?" Leo whispered as he sidled up to Atlas Shaw.

"You mean the kid?" Atlas replied lazily, evidently unconcerned about who was watching him, given how many eyes were on him tonight.

"Yeah, maybe that kid is your fan," Leo speculated.

Atlas glanced in Jeremiah’s direction. Their eyes met briefly, yet Jeremiah was quick to avert his gaze.
