Eventually, there is a big clash within the organization, which results in the death of Jade's adoptive parents and close associates. Jade decides to seek revenge but ends up getting into an accident and suffering from amnesia. She is then taken care of by her adoptive parents' enemy, who was the reason behind their deaths.

The film portrays the humanity of criminals and also reveals the dark side of humanity. There are many heart-wrenching stories in the film and many stories that show the horrors of the lives of discarded people.

The film becomes the first international movie that brings Crystal Viona's name to the world.

At the age of 30, Viona is nominated as one of the artists at the Oscar Awards. And thanks to her hard work, she wins one award that night as the Best Leading Actress.

The following year, Viona becomes more and more recognized by the public, and the peak of her fame is when she turns 35. On that night at the Oscar Awards, she wins 4 out of the 5 nominations submitted in her name.

And that night is the last time anyone sees Crystal Viona live because on the same night, her car is hit by a fanatical fan, tragically leading to her death.

April 4, 2045, Country U, City L

The artists were seen walking the red carpet with their partners. Some brought fellow artists, while others brought their relatives. Almost all the artists strolled through the red carpet wearing their finest attire and walking gracefully. Occasionally, they paused to pose for photos.

Viona glided alone on the red carpet, dressed in a silver gown that accentuated her figure and highlighted her face. Today, she was supposed to be accompanied by her boyfriend, Revan Zenith, a singer from the same agency, to attend this event. However, her manager decided that it would be better for Viona to go alone because Revan would be accompanied by another artist.

Viona, of course, refused, but she couldn't do anything when her boss himself ordered it to prevent any scandalous news.

After being photographed and answering some questions from reporters, Viona proceeded inside and was directed to her seat. Her eyes scanned the surroundings curiously and widened in disbelief when she saw her boyfriend kissing another woman, who happened to be the number one artist from their agency, Queena Cantika. And... coincidentally, Queena was Viona's close friend and also her rival.

Oh... Viona was furious. She didn't know what led the two most significant people in her life to kiss, but she could see that they enjoyed it. And if Viona wasn't mistaken, the gleam in their eyes was love.

Revan had never seen Viona like that. And now, he saw that very expression directed at his own best friend! Who wouldn't be angry?

Who wouldn't be heartbroken?

And who wouldn't be hurt?

Certainly not Viona. Because at that moment, on her poker-faced expression and empty gaze, no one would know how she truly felt.

Hurt. Betrayed. In pain. Anger. Hatred.

Oh, Viona felt hatred.

As deeply as she had loved Revan, she felt an equal depth of hatred now. Three years they had been together, and the slowly accumulating love suddenly vanished, replaced by hatred and anger.

"Miss Viona? Please, come this way," one of the attendants serving the artists said while guiding Viona to her seat.

Viona's table was not far from Revan's and some international artists sitting nearby, with only one table as a barrier between them.

As she walked towards her seat, Viona could overhear the conversation among the artists, teasing and praising Raven and Queena as a perfectly matched couple. They both didn't deny it and acted as if they were indeed a loving couple.

A sweet smile appeared on Viona's lips when Queena kissed Raven again, this time meeting Viona's gaze accidentally. Queena's face paled, and she moved slightly away from Raven, clearly startled.

Raven, sensing Queena's reaction, furrowed his brows and looked at her questioningly. "What's wrong, babe?" Raven asked gently.

"Vi... Vi..." Queena couldn't finish her answer, her terrified eyes locked on Viona's radiant face.

Raven looked puzzled and followed Queena's gaze. His face turned pale when he saw the surprise on Viona's face.

Whatever he was about to say was interrupted as the hosts joyfully kicked off the award ceremony.

When the lights dimmed, Raven whispered something to Queena. Viona couldn't hear what he said. Then, Viona put on a composed face when the lights came back on, and the award ceremony officially began.

The first two hosts started the event by mentioning various names of artists who had received more than two awards that night. Queena's name was mentioned due to her three awards from six different nominations the previous year. When the lights and cameras focused on Queena, it was clear she had just been hugged and kissed on the cheek by Raven. This made the hosts whistle and tease, rushing to congratulate them on their relationship.

Quietly, Queena glanced at Viona, who merely gave a standard reaction of a smile and applause, just like the other artists.

Afterward, some other awards related to the entertainment world were announced. Then, the Best Box Office Film award for 2045 was revealed, with five nominated films. The clip shown on the screen happened to feature a scene of Viona fighting in a gown, facing four fierce-looking men.

Enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, and even more when the cameras focused on the stars of the movie, who were sitting apart and clearly caught off guard as they had not expected their film to be nominated, let alone win.

The film director stepped forward and gave his speech, adding some jokes about their unpreparedness for receiving such a prestigious award. He thanked the artists and all involved parties.

Next, another pair of hosts announced the Best Music Video award. Queena's music video with Raven as the lead was one of the nominations. Unfortunately, they didn't win.

Viona could see the disappointment on their faces, seemingly unable to believe that their work was surpassed by others. It was only a few seconds before the cameras moved away, but Viona was sure the video would be shared widely on the internet later.
