Chapter 2283 "Con, 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 places 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.

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 glance.
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 together last 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 planning 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 claim to only love the late Mr.
Tucker?" Jack retorted.
Karina nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I do love only Barlow, but Carlow bears a striking resemblance to him, so I've fallen for him.
Is there a problem with that?" Jack was at a loss for words, struggling to comprehend.
"You want to marry Carlow just because he resembles Mr.

Tucker? Then I'll get plastic surgery!" he exclaimed, contemplating the idea e of altering his appearance. If resemblance was the key, then he could certainly match up.
Karina's expression darkened as she slapped him lightly on the head.
"Jack, if you dare to undergo plastic surgery, be prepared for the Om consequenges! she warned, her tone tinged with anger. Intimidated, Jack lowered his head, refraining from further comment.
Karina then softened her tone and spoke vaguely.
"Letmake this clear.
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 elaborate further.
Instead, she walked over to the photographer and asked him to send her the photos he had just taken.
