American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Of course, we're here to promote our new album. We'll be touring various towns in Texas for the next week," Regina explained with a smile, though there was a hint of pride in her smile.

In fact, according to the promotional schedule, Miracle Company's first consideration was to have the Devil Body Group promote their products in more economically developed big cities.

That would make it easier to increase sales of the new album.

The three girls had been keeping an eye on Mike's activities until he won the Summer League championship and the school was preparing to hold another celebration.

Regina, along with the other two girls, applied to the company for this trip back to school.

The company took care of the three girls' feelings and also learned about Mike's current situation in Texas—the hottest superstar in Texas.

Given that the three girls are based in Texas, if handled properly, they could leverage Mike's fame to open up the Texas market.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Miracle Company finally agreed to the three girls' application.

On the other hand, the three months since their debut felt like a lifetime had passed. Seeing Mike now, they had so much to say, both happy and unhappy, to share.

For example, the hardships he endured during training sessions at the company, or the interesting stories that happened during the promotion of his new album.

Mia, who was pushed aside and couldn't get a word in edgewise, also knew some gossip about the "Devil Body Group" and Mike.

Seeing three girls, whose looks are no less than her own, chattering intimately around her "boyfriend," it's impossible not to feel jealous.

But Mia soon thought of an even more serious problem: although she and Mike were already very close, neither of them seemed to have confessed their feelings to each other.

This means that, from a social perspective, the two are not strictly speaking in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

This discovery inexplicably weighed heavily on the girl's mind.

Turning her head, she saw Mike chatting and laughing happily with three pretty girls, and Mia immediately broke down.

Without saying goodbye to anyone, she quietly got up and walked out of the playground. Her dejected figure stood in stark contrast to the lively celebrations behind her.

"Sorry, I'll be leaving for a bit..." Mike noticed the girl leaving, so after saying goodbye to Regina and the other two, he chased after her.

Regina, who was watching Mike chase after her, had a fleeting look in her eyes before finding Lina, who was sitting next to Peggy, and asking, "Is that girl Mike's new girlfriend?"

"Yes." Lina didn't hide anything; instead, she spoke well of Mia: "Mia is a very good girl..."

It's fair to say that all four girls present, including Lina, knew each other well, and they were all aware of Mike's womanizing ways.

The four of them could get along peacefully before, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to have another sister join them now.

“Interesting, let’s go meet Mike’s new girlfriend…” The strong-willed Regina called to her two companions and then walked out of the playground.

Although she never intended to have Mike all to herself, Regina, the "Queen Bee," was clearly a little resentful that he had just abandoned her to pursue his new girlfriend.

"Aren't you going to come and take a look?" Peggy, who had witnessed the spectacle up close, asked Lina beside her with a smile.

Peggy, still quite young, is more like an outsider. But with her high IQ and EQ, she's actually quite willing to see Mike suffer emotionally, hoping it will help him change his philandering ways.

The little girl was all smiles, but all she was missing was a handful of sunflower seeds.

"I won't go and cause trouble. I hope Mike can handle the relationship between Mia, Regina, and the other woman," Lina replied calmly.

She has a gentle personality and is so sensible that it breaks your heart.

Meanwhile, Mike, who had chased Mia to the edge of the playground, called out to her there.

"Why did you chase after me? Aren't you going to chat with your three sweethearts?" Mia, her defenses crumbling, became somewhat hysterical: "Oh right, I forgot, I'm nobody to you, I have no right to interfere in your affairs..."

What girl, at the age when she's dreaming about love, doesn't want to have a perfect relationship?

However, Mia now realizes that she had been somewhat presumptuous; she hadn't truly understood Mike. To her, he was more like a shining "star."

The girl, on the other hand, is more like someone who has been redeemed in the darkness and is now chasing the stars.

"So you're Mike's new girlfriend? You don't look that great, do you?" Before Mike could say anything to comfort the girl, Regina and her two girlfriends caught up from behind.

Seeing that Mia seemed to be throwing a tantrum, the "Queen Bee" naturally didn't tolerate it.

"And by what right do you speak to me like that?" Mia, with her carefree and outspoken personality, was naturally not lacking in courage.

At this moment, it seemed as if she wanted to bring things to the forefront and make things clear.

This is going to be a chaotic scene!

Mike and the three girls from the "Devil Body Group," who were standing by the playground, were now considered celebrities, and their every move was bound to attract more attention.

For example, many of the spectators at the celebration are now watching the "show" unfolding next to the playground.

Mike wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt there were a lot of reporters at the celebration today.

Yes, there were quite a few cultural workers in the audience carrying photography equipment and wearing press passes.

“Everything is negotiable. How about we find a place to sit down and talk it over?” Considering that arguing in public wouldn’t look good, Mike gestured to a small makeshift “tent” not far away to the four girls in front of him.

That tent was probably a dressing room that a performance group had prepared beforehand, and it happened to be empty at the moment.

Chapter 298 Identity Exposed

Perhaps considering that it wouldn't look good to have a public argument, the four girls followed Mike to the small tent after he suggested it.

Because it was a temporary changing room, the "tent" was not very big, and it felt a bit crowded with five people squeezed inside.

In the small space, the four girls stood in two groups around Mike. On one side was Mia, the royal princess. After her initial outburst, she seemed to have calmed down and was now staring at Mike, waiting for his explanation.

On the other side were the three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group, with Regina staring at Mike with great interest. The other two girls, Karen and Gretchen, had amused expressions, as if watching a show.

It's somewhat like a combination of Peggy and Lina.

“Mia, there’s something I need to confess to you.” Mike paused for a moment before speaking, “Actually, besides you, I’ve been seeing other girls. But I can assure you, my feelings for you are absolutely genuine…”

"So what does this mean? Am I the third party?" Mia, feeling her emotions had been toyed with, found the whole thing ridiculous.

As mentioned earlier, the girl was initially misled by Mike's impressive aura and didn't really understand him.

She feels a bit disillusioned now.

“A third party?? No, no, no… Didn’t Mike mention his relationship with us to you?” Regina, like a victorious peacock, counted on her fingers and added fuel to the fire, “According to the order, you can only rank fifth at most.”

With the three members of the "Devilish Figures" group plus Lina, Mia is the fifth of Mike's confidantes, following the order of arrival.

"Fifth???" Mia felt that things were becoming more and more absurd, and her worldview was being shaken.

Then, still unwilling to give up, she looked at Mike and asked, "Besides those three, who else are you with? Lina???"

Seeing Mike nod slightly, the girl was on the verge of a breakdown.

She might not have noticed this before, but now that she thinks back, Mike and Lina seemed a little too intimate at times in their daily interactions.

"You disgust me!" Mia, having figured out what was going on, felt a surge of anger, as if she had been "deceived" and "betrayed."

After glaring fiercely at Mike, the girl stormed out of the tent.

She doesn't want to see Mike for even a second right now.

"Aren't you going to go after your little lover?" With no "outsiders" around, Regina immediately clung to Mike.

“I think the last person she wants to see right now is me, and these things are all about mutual consent…” Although it’s shameless to do this, Mike has no intention of giving up the whole forest for one tree.

Even if the other party is a princess, it won't work.

“You’re such a bad man!” Regina commented with a laugh.

This also illustrates that women don't love men who aren't a little bad.

Moreover, this man is outstanding enough.

Just as the atmosphere inside the small tent was heating up, a commotion broke out outside.

Judging from the noise, Lina seemed to be in trouble.

"Are you truly Princess Genovya?"

"Princess Mia, what is your relationship with 'Wonder Boy'? Are you really dating?"

"Princess Mia, could you tell me what happened inside the tent just now?"

……

A group of reporters carrying long guns and cannons seemed to have obtained inside information and confirmed that Mia was indeed a princess.

The love story between a foreign princess and a "country bumpkin" is sure to grab attention. What's more, this princess is suspected of "stealing" a man from another girl.

This is the kind of big news any journalist would dream of.

Yes, these reporters, eager for news coverage, sensed gossip coming from the moment Mike led the four girls into the tent.

In order to create a big news story, they had been keeping watch not far from the tent beforehand.

It can be said that hard work pays off!

Mia's expression when she came out gave the reporters a lot to speculate about.

A foreign princess falls for a sports enthusiast!

Princess Genovya's Love Story!

Princess Genovya VS. A Duo with Absolutely Stunning Figures! ...

This kind of title sounds very promising.

Princess Mia, surrounded by reporters, looked more panicked and bewildered.

This girl, who grew up in a small town as an ordinary person, is not capable of handling the current situation.

"Make way!" Mike, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, pushed the reporters aside and then shielded Mia behind him, whispering to confirm, "Are you alright?"

Unlike the girl, Mike saw more.

First of all, the name tags worn by these reporters indicate that they are not local Texas reporters.

Moreover, judging from their precise targeting of Mia, they must have known the girl's identity long ago, and their purpose this time was clearly to create a big news story.

Meanwhile, the scene of Mike protecting Mia, surrounded by three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group, was also captured by the reporters.

“You have to leave here…” Mike thought for a moment and guessed what the group of reporters were planning. He gave the three girls with amazing figures beside him a pleading look, then pulled Mia, who was still in a daze, and squeezed out of the campus.

Fortunately, the tent was located at the edge of the playground, and Mike only needed to avoid the reporters in front of him to leave the school with the girl.

The three girls with stunning figures behind them understood Mike's meaning. They "sensibly" helped Mike and his companion, blocking most of the reporters present.

The three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group, who have been in the industry for over three months, seemed much more at ease when facing reporters.

Moreover, this group of reporters also presents an opportunity for the "Devil Body Group".

An opportunity for their group to gain more exposure.

Princess, sports superstar, and a combination of stunning figures—any one of these three terms is worthy of appearing in the newspaper on its own.

Now that these three elements are combined and intertwined with gossip and scandals, it's bound to be a huge news story.

If Miracle Company handles things properly, the Devil Body Duo will definitely be able to benefit from the fame of Mike and Princess Mia this time.

However, this kind of media attention is not a good thing for Mia, the future princess.

At the school gate, Mia, temporarily free from the reporters' harassment, shook off Mike's arm and said with a complicated expression, "That's enough. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

This "ordinary" girl also had her own self-respect and knew that it was not good to continue arguing with Mike.

Mike's heroic act of "saving" her just now made the girl feel safe again. She was afraid that if she stayed with him any longer, she would lose her composure.

Therefore, the girl urgently needs to adopt a distance-repelling attitude and build a high wall around her heart.

"Now is not the time to be temperamental. I need to get you to Queen Renadi as soon as possible," Mike said, looking at the reporters who were quickly catching up behind them.

"What does this have to do with my grandma?" So much had happened today that Mia had lost the ability to think calmly.

"Didn't you consider that since your identity has been exposed, Queen Renadi's itinerary certainly won't be kept secret either? A leaked secret itinerary means huge trouble for the Queen," Mike explained simply.

Queen Reinadi, after all, is the highest leader of a country. This time, in order to quietly groom her granddaughter into a qualified royal princess and thus amaze everyone in the Genovia royal family, she acted very discreetly, even foregoing a bodyguard team.

In this situation, having one's itinerary exposed means danger.

After Mike's reminder, Mia also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without time to think, she immediately got into Mike's car and headed towards the villa where Queen Renadi was.

More than half an hour later, Mike, with his superb driving skills, shook off the convoy of reporters that were following him like glue, and arrived at the luxurious villa in the suburbs of Queens.

"Mia and Mike, what brings you here? Is there something you need?" Queen Renadi, who was dressed in her pajamas and ready to rest, looked a little surprised when she saw Mike and Mia in the living room.

The incident happened so suddenly that Mike didn't care about being impolite and quickly explained how Mia's identity had been exposed.

"Alright, I understand the situation." Queen Renadi's emotions showed little change.
