Standing on the award ceremony stage and accepting the trophy, she looked at the whole conference hall and paused briefly, saying: âFirst of all, of course, I want to thank everyone. Thank you all for your love and support.â
Applause erupted from the audience below as Kevin Clark sat and watched his little girl on stage.
The camera deliberately captured him.
âAlso, Iâd like to take this opportunity to clarify something for everyone. Itâs regarding the issue that Charlotte Lane is not Daisy Zane.â Due to the echo in the conference hall, Charlotte paused for a moment.
During that pause, Kevin noticed a white butterfly that had flown onto the stage, circled around Charlotte, and landed on the trophy in her hand.
âIâm indeed not her, but weâre inseparable forever. Daisyâs dream was to stand here.â Charlotteâs gaze fell on the butterfly, and her hand gripping the trophy involuntarily tightened. Swallowing her emotions, she continued, âToday, Iâve brought her here with me.â
Both the audience at the venue and those watching the live stream listened to her speak in silence.
âIn the future⦠weâll go even further together.â Charlotte looked into the camera, then addressed a question that had been on everyoneâs mind, âCharlotte Lane has never entered the entertainment industry, just as⦠Daisy Zane will never leave it. Letâs all look forward to better works from Flynn Ninevara and Lady Zane. Thank you, everyone.â
Having said that, she bowed deeply to the audience below.
As she bent down, the butterfly circled her once more.
Charlotte straightened up and walked off the stage in the direction the butterfly flew away.
Kevin also went in that direction.
Getting off the stage from the side, Charlotte was about to head backstage when she saw Kevin waiting for her. She walked straight to him and leaned into his embrace.
Kevin immediately hugged her tightly, kissed the top of her head, and whispered softly, âCongratulations, Madam.â
Charlotte buried her face in his shoulder, momentarily at a loss for words.
Kevin embraced her, stroking her head. He looked up to see a cameraman following them, and turned to shield Charlotte in his arms.
Immediately, the live chat exploded in discussion: [Oh, Third Master is not giving us a glimpse.]
[Third Masterâs possessiveness is so strong. Weâre all so close, I call him uncle on Facebook every day, but he wonât even let us have a peek.]
[My Third Master is so deeply in love. Every glance he casts upon his wife seems to be saying âI love her.â]
[Another day held up by Third Masterâs love.]
[So Daisy Zane is gone now, huh?]
[No, she isnât gone. Sister Flynn will carry her name with her.]
[Am I the only one who finds this moving? Sister Flynn returned under Daisy Zaneâs identity, cleared her reputation as an illegitimate child, helped her mother take revenge, and became the Best Actress under her name.]
[You guys, do you think⦠Sister Flynnâs identity as a screenwriter⦠might have been because of Daisy Zane?]
[The butterfly on stage just now, Iâm cryingâ¦]
[As formidable as our Sister Flynn, I always feel that she has a strong sense of story, as if sheâs experienced something big.]
[What sisterly love! Suddenly makes me want to set Third Master aside for a bit.]
[To the sister above, be careful tonight. Donât sleep too deeply, or Third Master might assassinate you in your sleep.]

Two days after the award ceremony, the Research Institute announced the record of Victoria Zane.
And conferred upon Victoria Zane and her husband the Instituteâs Medal.
Moreover, this was something Dean Yue had already arranged before his death, only waiting for an opportune time to announce it.
Upon the announcement, netizens were dumbfounded.
[Isnât that Daisy Zaneâs grandmother??????]
[So⦠the grandmother went into hiding in Cold Green Village so that her invention wouldnât be used for human experimentation?]
[So, the current 319 is emulating the past. So⦠before any of us were born, the couple protected our grandparents.]
[Does that mean⦠if the couple hadnât left with the elixir and blown up the laboratory then, perhaps none of us would exist?]
[How excellent of a daughter could the grandmother have raised? She was the only one in Cold Green Village to have been accepted into Truro University at the time. How could Johanes Miles have been worthy?]
[Heâs not just unworthy; heâs also unappreciative. What was grandmotherâs status? What was her status in that era? What could the Miles and Hobson families even be considered to be?]
[So when Sister Flynn was on that variety show, she was using Daisy Zaneâs identity to acknowledge that grandma taught her a lot of knowledge.]
[How could a child raised by the grandmother be bad? She just didnât go to school, but she learned just as much, if not more than what we know.]
