“Come on, let’s take a group photo,” Jack suggested cheerily, pocketing his phone and guiding her toward the crowd.


    “I can walk by myself,” Karina said, shaking off his hand and quickly walking to where Rosalynn was standing.


    She positioned herself beside Rosalynn, with the leading actress on her other side.


    Jack squeezed past others to stand beside the leading actress.


    Just as the photographer was about to start shooting, Jack quickly swapped ces with the leading actress, positioning himself next to Karina.


    He put his hand on Karina’s shoulder and leaned his head closer, smiling brightly.


    Karina’s frown deepened as she tried to shrug him off.


    Anticipating her reaction, Jack whispered, “Don’t move.


    Let’s not ruin this for everyone.


    ”


    As the photographer got ready, he called out, “Is everyone ready? I’m going to shoot now!”


    “We’re ready!” the crowd responded in unison.


    At that moment, Karina ceased her attempts to pull away from Jack and shed a radiant smile.


    With a few clicks, the photographer captured several shots.


    Karina maintained a sweet smile throughout, only swatting away Jack’s hand once the photos were taken, shooting him a cold nce.


    Feigning innocence, Jack queried, “Karina, why the cold look? What did I do wrong?”


    Internally sneering, Karina chose not to call out his pretense; she knew he was still not over her.


    “Are you really dating Carlow, Karina?” Jack pressed, noting her dismissive attitude.


    “Yes.


    Didn’t you see us togetherst time?” she responded coolly.


    Undeterred, Jack continued, “Are you really going to treat him as a substitute for Mr.


    Tucker?”


    Karina knew that Carlow was indeed Barlow, but she simply nodded and said, “Yes.


    And you should let go of any feelings for me.


    I might marry Barlow soon.


    ”


    As long as Barlow confessed his identity to her, she would marry him!


    Jack’s face changed drastically.


    “You’re nning to marry him? But you don’t even love him.


    That’s irresponsible!” he protested hastily.


    Karina fixed him with a steady gaze and replied, “Jack, this is my life, not yours.


    Besides, how would you know whether I love him or not?”


    “Didn’t you im to only love thete Mr.


    Tucker?” Jack retorted.


    Karina nodded in agreement.


    “Yes, I do love only Barlow, but Carlow bears a striking resemnce to him, so I’ve fallen for him.


    Is there a problem with that?”


    Jack was at a loss for words, struggling toprehend.


    “You want to marry Carlow just because he resembles Mr.


    Tucker? Then I’ll get stic surgery!” he eximed, contemting the idea of altering his appearance.


    If resemnce was the key, then he could certainly match up.


    Karina’s expression darkened as she pped him lightly on the head.


    “Jack, if you dare to undergo stic surgery, be prepared for the consequences!” she warned, her tone tinged with anger.


    Intimidated, Jack lowered his head, refraining from furtherment.


    Karina then softened her tone and spoke vaguely.


    “Let me make this clear.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    I will always love Barlow, and Carlow is the rebirth of him!”


    Carlow was the rebirth of Barlow? What did that even mean?


    Jack looked up, his confusion evident.


    Seeing his bewilderment, Karina chose not to borate further.


    Instead, she walked over to the photographer and asked him to send her the photos he had just taken.
