Meredith secretly rejoiced. Perfect. The proposal is about to happen! I have to remain calm. I can't lose control over my emotions.
However, when the spotlight struck the stage, it was Joaquin who walked into it! Meredith was shocked to see him-she had no idea what was going on right then. Perhaps Pierre arranged for Joaquin to be part of the proposal. Then, she quickly returned to her senses and spread her arms open to greet her son. "What are you doing here, Jojo?"
"Could this handsome young man be Miss Yard and Mr. Fowler's son? God, he surely inherited both of your perfect genes! He's way too handsome!" The host complimented the young man as Joaquin walked toward them.
"Are you here to congratulate your mother for getting the Best Actress Award, Young Master Jojo?" The host then handed the microphone over to Joaquin.
With a stern expression and a calm voice, Joaquin uttered a single sentence as he took over the microphone. "She's not my mother."
