Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Winning So Many Awards My Hands Are Sore

"The nominees for Best Supporting Actress are: Lily Hayes in ’Prisoner’, Tiana Woods in ’Princess of Changyang’, Maya Monroe in ’Wandering Beyond the Horizon’, and Faye Sawyer in ’Destiny’s Track’!"

The screen once again played the related film clips.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress award is—Maya Monroe!"

An exuberant BGM rang out, and the big screen switched to Maya Monroe’s shot in real-time.

Nina Vance didn’t expect Maya Monroe to win again, considering winning three awards at a single ceremony is extremely rare and seldom seen.

Along with her surprise, Nina Vance couldn’t help but feel a bit more admiration for Maya Monroe.

But now was not the time for compliments; Nina quickly shook Maya Monroe’s arm and hurriedly said, "Maya Monroe, wake up!"

Maya Monroe didn’t have severe sleep inertia, but being repeatedly disturbed from her dreams made her somewhat irritated.

"What’s going on?"

Feeling the stares from the people around her, Maya Monroe instantly became a bit clearer.

The scene before her was all too familiar.

"This... wouldn’t be..."

The words from Nina Vance directly confirmed the worst possibility: "Maya Monroe..."

She swallowed: "You have to accept an award, it’s your turn to accept an award again!"

"What award is it this time?"

"Best Supporting Actress."

Almost everyone around Maya Monroe could hear her speak; others were deeply emotional and teary-eyed upon hearing about winning, but Maya Monroe had no reaction at all, not even aware of which award was being presented...

Some people strive and struggle for years or even decades to win an award, while others effortlessly receive three. The actors present had mixed feelings, lamenting the disparities of the world.

Maya Monroe’s previous bad reputation was well-known, and now suddenly winning three trophies, the contrast prompted people to re-evaluate her abilities.

Maya Monroe stood up, once again heading toward the stage to accept the award.

"Next, please welcome Serena Sawyer and Lynn Adler to present the award to the winner!"

Serena Sawyer?

Upon hearing this, Maya Monroe paused slightly, then steadily continued walking onto the stage.

Serena Sawyer wore an elegant black dress, smiling as she saw Maya Monroe approaching and embraced her.

Maya felt Serena’s hand lightly pat her back a few times.

"I thought our next meeting would be on set, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I’m happy to see you. Congratulations, Maya Monroe, congratulations on your award. Your potential is limitless!"

Best Supporting Actress—an award with considerable prestige.

Serena Sawyer spoke softly, as the lengthy words were heard only by the two of them.

Maya looked at her: "Thank you."

Then accepted the trophy and honor certificate.

Still a weighty feeling.

Ryan Spencer’s prepared gratitude speech was short; he likely prepared it for a single award, who could’ve thought Maya would win three.

The gratitude speech in her mind was almost done, so Maya mimicked her memory’s words:

"To receive this award is unexpected, it’s beyond my expectations. Thank you all."

In those words, part true, part false.

The applause sounded, and Maya stepped off the stage, twisting her sore wrist.

She chose a position toward the back; the aisle was long, and she had to walk it three times, not to mention the trophies weren’t light, holding them long enough made her wrist ache.

Kiki Monroe joined in the applause, but her smile was hard to maintain.

That’s already the third trophy! Others find it hard to get one, but for Maya, it’s like cheap cabbages, she stole all the headlines!

Maya returned to her seat, casually placing the trophy below, as Nina’s hands were full.

Looking at the shimmering trophy, Nina sighed: "I’ve never seen so many trophies before, even though they’re not mine, it feels like experiencing the thrill of being overloaded with awards... Maya Monroe, you’re amazing!"

Her voice bore admiration.

Maya casually responded, glancing to her left toward Kiki Monroe, whose attire was exquisite and elegant, but whose hands were empty.

Maya withdrew her gaze, massaging her aching temple.

Having received three trophies, more people began to focus on Maya’s situation.

If anyone was the most notable presence here, it was surely Maya Monroe.

Many entertainers turned their heads to chat with her; Maya responded briefly, then slowly closed her eyes.

This time, she couldn’t manage to fall asleep anymore.

The recent hit ’Wandering Beyond the Horizon’ also made waves, recently bagging the director award and best film award. Shane Morgan wore a gray cap while delivering his speech, revealing several big white teeth unusually.

The female lead deserves her title; Kiki Monroe soon received her first trophy—"Best Newcomer Award."

Kiki returned with her trophy, her smile vanishing upon seeing Maya’s trophies.

She must obtain the Best Actress award, otherwise, how could she overshadow Maya!

But she did have one trophy, which slightly eased Kiki’s mind.

Upon hearing the "Best Actress" announcement, Maya perked up somewhat.

The screen showed four nominated actresses, one of them being Kiki.

This was entirely within Maya’s expectations.

The winner turned out to be a seasoned actress with exquisite acting skills, having performed in hundreds of dramas.

Not Kiki...

Maya couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

In the storyline, Kiki received the Best Supporting Actress, and now the role "Luna" unexpectedly won for Maya, which wasn’t cast for Kiki.

The storyline didn’t write Kiki as a "Best Actress" recipient, so is this why Kiki didn’t win?

Kiki, like a deflated balloon, slumped into her seat.

The final highlight was the "Best Actor Award", won by Leo Lancaster, though due to scheduling issues, he couldn’t attend, so the award remained "empty".

At the ceremony’s end, Kiki quickly left.

Beside her was Maya, and staying would surely invite ridicule.

Maya said goodbye to Nina, not rushing to leave; she waited a while until Ryan appeared.

Ryan was visibly excited, taking the trophy: "That’s great... it signifies your talent."

"I thought winning was luck, but getting three trophies..."

He nodded enthusiastically: "This trip was worth it!"

Maya had just exited the hall when a swarm of journalists surrounded her.

Two more trophies were handed to her, followed by Ryan passing over the last one.
