Tiana Ford has returned! Anabelle Rathborne’s eyes lit up, but now she is auditioning as a host, unable to stop. She could only wink at Tiana with excitement, as if asking how it went—was Serena Sterling beaten up badly? Tiana seemed a bit strange, as if she didn’t catch Anabelle’s look. She seemed dazed and even raised her hand to touch her head, as if it hurt. Tiana was insignificant here. Old Man Knight and Yvonne Knight’s attention was entirely on Anabelle. The staff were also working nervously, as the newly auditioned A Station had already broken records, currently attracting a large wave of listeners. Nobody dared to get distracted, so no one noticed Tiana. Tiana stood in the corner, and soon she raised her head, but her pupils were unfocused, not converging on anything. She looked around, her gaze suddenly landing on someone, even making her previously unfocused pupils brighten instantly. That person was... Old Man Knight! Tiana mechanically moved step by step to Old Man Knight, looking at him with admiration and saying, "Old Man Knight." The entire A Station was silent because Anabelle was still hosting, and no noise was allowed. Tiana’s voice calling "Old Man Knight" immediately drew everyone’s eyes to her with a "swish." Everyone looked at Tiana in bewilderment and confusion. What was she doing? Didn’t she know they were in the middle of an audition? Old Man Knight’s eyes also fell on Tiana’s face. He had only worked with her once during the selection competition. He asked Tiana to deal with Serena Sterling and let her into the academy. Besides that, he had no impression of Tiana. She was a person of average talent, not worth his attention or wasting his time. Old Man Knight was very displeased and scolded, "Tiana Ford, we’re in the middle of an audition. What are you doing?" Tiana looked at Old Man Knight with obsession and said, "Old Man Knight, I’ve kept something in my heart for so long. Do you know I’ve liked medicine since I was a child, and you are my idol? My room is full of your portraits. I attend every one of your lectures. This is the biggest secret in my heart. I must tell you, I like you, I’ve liked you for many years." Everyone took a deep breath and looked at Tiana in shock. What... what did she say? She liked... Old Man Knight? Tiana is just a twenty-year-old girl, as old as Anabelle. Old Man Knight could be her grandfather. This love born out of admiration and infatuation turning into an abnormal romance is simply incredible and shocking! While there’s news nowadays of young girls marrying older men, when such things happen around you, everyone’s minds still buzz. Anabelle had already jolted to her feet in shock, looking at Tiana in disbelief. What kind of mischief was Tiana up to now? Yvonne was the first to react. Her face changed drastically, and she immediately ordered, "Quickly, turn off the radio station! Turn it off now!" Everyone was instantly awakened, cold sweat breaking out all over. Damn, the station wasn’t turned off, and the listeners have heard everything that’s happened here! Someone checked the real-time listening rate. Now it was surging rapidly, not just breaking records but exploding straight away. At this moment, Tiana stepped forward and embraced Old Man Knight, oblivious to the outside world, pouring her heart out, "Old Man Knight, I’ve been following your footsteps for so many years. I wanted to get close to you but dared not. Now, I don’t want to suppress myself anymore. I like you. Your wife has already passed away. Let me take care of you. I want to marry you!" Everyone was stunned, looking at Tiana holding onto Old Man Knight tightly. She’s gone mad, completely insane! Anabelle was frozen in place, unable to utter a word. Yvonne, watching her father being passionately confessed to by a young girl, might suddenly have a new "mom," shattered her composure and elegance, almost jumping and stomping, commanding, "Someone, get this lunatic away and throw her out!" Security guards rushed in and quickly grabbed Tiana, trying to pull her away. But Tiana felt the resistance and held on to Old Man Knight even more desperately. A tug-of-war ensued, turning the entire A Station into chaos. The staff looked at Tiana as if they had never seen anything before, forgetting to turn off the station. The real-time listenership monitoring had skyrocketed from the ground to a peak. Old Man Knight’s face looked grim as he forcefully pushed Tiana away. Tiana looked at Old Man Knight with manic insistence, even being held by several security guards, still trying to rush to Old Man Knight’s side. "Old Man Knight, don’t you like me? How could you not like me? I don’t believe you don’t like young girls. We worked so well together. You gave me hope. Have you forgotten that day during the selection..." Seeing Tiana about to reveal the transaction that day during the selection, Old Man Knight picked up a cup of tea and splashed it directly on Tiana’s face, "Wake up properly!" This content belongs to novelFire.net Cold water splashed on Tiana’s face, and her entire body shuddered, regaining clarity. What had she done just now? Tiana looked up at Old Man Knight’s ashen face, then at Anabelle, and finally at the onlooking staff. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed directly to the ground. Tiana gasped heavily, trembling all over as if thrown into an icy abyss, completely unaware of what she had done earlier. At this moment, with a "snap," Yvonne rushed up and finally turned off the radio station. The chaotic A Station instantly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was stagnant and eerie. Then, with a "creak," the door to A Station opened, and someone walked in. It was Mrs. Kerr, bringing Serena Sterling with her. Mrs. Kerr stepped forward and shook Old Man Knight’s hand, "Old Knight, who would have thought after all these years your charm hasn’t faded at all? You’re able to obsess a young girl completely. Impressive, impressive; even I’m in awe of you." Saying this, Mrs. Kerr walked up to Anabelle, patting her shoulder, "Are you Old Knight’s granddaughter? Oh my, surpassing your predecessors. Your first radio audition didn’t just break records; it exploded them. Just now, it must have been... a national broadcast." With that, Mrs. Kerr approached Yvonne, "Director Knight, with a father and daughter , you must feel proud at this moment." Mrs. Kerr, having a competitive relationship with the Knight family, ruthlessly mocked them with her speech, almost choking Old Man Knight, Yvonne, and Anabelle to the point they nearly spat blood.
