Chapter 71
With anticipation reaching its peak, John raised his voice. “Let’s give a warm welcome to Queenie!”
The crowd froze, their eyes wide with astonishment.
They thought, Who? Queenie?
As soon as John’s words faded, Isabella stepped out from backstage, her movements slow and elegant, like a queen gliding
across a stage.
In that instant, all the spotlights swiveled towards her, casting her in a brilliant glow. She looked like a superstar in every sense of the word, radiating confidence and beauty.
Jayden’s fingers twitched involuntarily. This version of Isabella… he thought, I’ve never seen her like this before. She’s… different
Isabella stood at the front of the stage with a serene smile, her grace captivating everyone in the room. She greeted the audience with a casual wave, effortlessly commanding their attention.
“Hello to all the viewers of Healthy Folks,” she said, her voice smooth and steady. “I’m Queenie.”
The crowd gasped, utterly amazed by her dazzling appearance.
Meanwhile, the audience below could hardly contain themselves.
Someone whispered, “Queenie? Could she be… the Queenie? The legendary healer? This show is too insane! How did they manage to invite such a big name!”
“No way, another voice argued. “She’s got to be some kind of celebrity, right? I mean, look at her! She’s stunning
“She’s beyond gorgeous,” a fan gushed. “I think I’ve just found my new obsession. I love her so much-ahhh!”
“Mom!” a young girl declared loudly. “I’m her fan now!”
Phones flashed as the audience members snapped photos frantically, eager to capture every moment.
John, still smiling, walked briskly over to Isabella, and with a gleam of mischief in his eyes, he turned to the audience. I’m Sure many of you are curious about Queenie’s true identity. You probably think she’s some rising star in the entertainment world, right?”
The crowd buzzed with speculation, eager to know the truth
John grinned, enjoying the suspense. “But let me tell you, no, no, no…
He stole a glance at Isabella, admiration gleaming in his eyes. “Queenie is the disciple of the renowned Clement. She is a rising star in the medical world. She’s treated countless difficult and rare cases…
As he spoke, the crowd’s confusion turned to shock. They thought, What! She’s… a miracle doctor? With a flourish, Summer delivered the final revelation. “That’s right! She’s the healer who even the top doctors call a genius – Queenie!”
The audience fell into stunned silence.
They thought in disbelief, ‘Oh my god! We just came to see our beloved celebrities, but now now we’re actually witnessing a legend?
Even those who had never met Queenie had certainly heard of her. Her name was famous, even among children. Every person in the room was now staring wide-eyed at the stage.
“No way!” someone shouted from the back. “Am I the luckiest person alive? Did I just see Queenie!”

“Wow, another fan said, shaking their head in disbelief. “This is amazing
“Yeah, she’s way more impressive than any celebrity, someone else agreed,
They all thought. This kind of fame isn’t something you get from being in the spotlight. It’s earned through real skill
Isabella smiled humbly. “You give me too much credit,” she said.
The host, overcome with excitement, shook his head. “No, no! There’s
e’s no such thing as an overstatement when it comes to you, Queenie! Everyone here knows I always speak the truth!”
Isabella only smiled politely, saying nothing further. John, still full of energy, gestured for her to sit. “Please, Queene, take
your sear!”
Isabella nodded gracefully, but as she approached the seating area, her steps faltered. The right side of the couch was already taken by Alex and Stella, leaving only the middle seat next to Jayden.
Her eyes flickered with a hint of displeasure, but it vanished quickly.
Jayden, noticing her approach, stood slightly, offering the seat beside him. After all, it was the one closest to both him and
the host.
But Isabella didn’t move towards him. Instead, she approached Stella with a gentle smile. “Stella,” she asked softly, “do you mind if I sit with you?”
Jayden’s smile froze, his eyes flashing with anger. He thought, That damn woman! How could she ignore me like this?”
Stella, for her part, was taken aback. She thought, “The producers didn’t tell me about this…
Instinctively, she glanced at Jayden. Is it okay for me to steal his spotlight like this?
But Isabella was already standing before her, looking at her with such warmth. With the entire audience watching. Stella couldn’t afford to hesitate. She smiled brightly and nodded. “Of course!”
She nudged Alex, who quickly realized what was happening and moved to sit next to Jayden.
The tension on stage was palpable.
Every single one of them’s a big deal, John thought, “If I upset just one of them, today’s recording could go up
in flames.
Jayden smiled, but the air around him seemed to grow colder.
John, noticing the shift, started to sweat nervously. ‘Please, he prayed silently. “Don’t lose your temper, not today…
Meanwhile, George, lounging in the audience, was casually observing the scene. Though the crowd was oblivious, he knew exactly what was going on
He couldn’t see Jayden’s expression from his seat, but he noticed the stiffening of the actor’s body. George raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of pride. He thought, That’s my girl! Let Jayden realize that even as a movie star, not everybne is going to kiss his feet.
John, trying to regain control of the situation, picked up a cue card and began explaining the concept of Healthy Folks to the audience, finally steering the show towards its main topic.
The next segment was a simple interview, with each guest sharing their thoughts on health management.
When it came to Alex and Stella, they said something generic about going to bed early and waking up early, earning lighthearted laughs from the crowd. The microphone then passed to Jayden, and all eyes turned towards him.
He smirked as the camera zoomed in on his face. “For me,” he said with a casual shrug, “the words health management’ don’t really exist in my life.”

John, intrigued, asked, “Oh? Why’s that?”
Jayden leaned back slightly, his tone slow and deliberate. In our line of work, we’re constantly on set, pulling all-nighters. Sometimes, we’ll spend hours perfecting a single shot, even to the point where we forget to eat or sleep. So, for actors, health management is the least of our concerns.”
His words sent his fans into a frenzy.
“Aaaah! He works so hard!” one fan cried.
“My poor baby!” another wailed. “But I love him even more for it!”
Isabella, seated nearby, suppressed a sigh. She thought, “How ironic. That’s not even remotely true!
In the past, she only felt pride and a sense of honor, but now it just seemed awkward
Jayden had done plenty of films, sure, but he had never worked himself to exhaustion. ‘Everyone in the industry knew, she thought. ‘He wouldn’t stay on set past midnight.
‘His success? Ninety percent of it was thanks to the scripts Isabella had chosen for him. And as for acting? Well, that was just the baseline for any actor.
So now he’s talking about perfecting shots until he forgets to eat or sleep? How ridiculous.
George, watching from the audience, rolled his eyes. He thought, Jayden, You’re such a fraud.
Alex and Stella, who had heard their fair share of stories about Jayden, exchanged knowing glances.
After all, the circle is quite small, and rumors spread fast.
John, still playing the role of the enthusiastic host, smiled admiringly at Jayden. “Well, that’s why you’re the best. It’s never easy to be at the top.”
He then turned to Isabella, his tone shifting to one of respect. “And what do you think, Queenie?”
