As the pointedment cut through the noise, it effectively threw Javier off his stride, providing
Scarlett with a precious moment to distance herself from the situation.
The crowd, too, was taken aback, turning toward the source of the unexpected interruption. Initially.
surprised by the audacity of the interruption during a marriage proposal, the attendees soon
recognized the speaker andpsed into silence.
In the live room, where many fans were tuned in, recognition dawned alme instantaneously. The
identity of the speaker, known for her incisivementary, made them feel as if they were
witnessing a metaphorical p across the face.
There was no need for the camera to pan to her; the identity of the speaker was apparent to all–it
was none other than Justice Upholder.
It was as if rity returned to the minds that had been clouded by the earliermotion.
Even Isabe couldn’t stand it anymore!
She already said no! Do you think she’s ying hard to get?
How is it that your production team manages to make everything, both on and off the stage, so
thrilling!
I initially wanted to witness a marriage proposal, but instead, I ended up witnessing a forced
engagement.
I found it odd from the start. They weren’t even back together, and then suddenly there’s a
proposal? Does that make
any sense?
Could you folks who enjoy nning surprise proposals, please make sure of your own position
beforehand?
Do you really think that when someone shows no intention of wanting to marry you, all it takes is a
plea and a little mood–setting for them to agree in a daze?
What’s the difference between what you’re doing and holding a knife to someone’s throat, forcing
them to dere their love?
Do you really think you can rush someone into marriage? Please, get your head straight.
I stand with Scarlett. There must have been apelling reason for the breakup initially, and it’s
unlikely that time could have changed that.
Isabe’s initial interjection had catalyzed a wave of rational responses, culminating in a resounding
flood of “She said no!”ments in the live room. The shift was both spectacr and
unconventional.
Sienna, visibly agitated, questioned, “What are you doing? How could you ruin someone else’s
happy asion? My daughter is just… she’s just too embarrassed to say it.”
Bartholomeo’s face tightened with displeasure, clearly ufortable with the harsh interruption
during such a personal moment.
Javier, scowling at the unexpected challenge and unaware of his godmother’s fraught history with
the Quirk family, defensively stated, “I’m not sure where th

Swanson’s wishes,” before turning to Scarlett. “Ms. Swanson, should I call the police for you?”
This blunt interjection caught everyone off guard, shifting the atmosphere further.

Regaining herposure, Scarlett quickly expressed her gratitude, “Ms. Jea, Mr. Quirk, thank
you both for speaking up for me.”
She then addressed Javier firmly. “Even if I were to refuse, after our breakup, there’s no way I could
be involved with you anymore. Your current actions are causing me stress. Please stop. I hope I’ve
made. myself clear enough.” Turning to face her family, she asserted, “You don’t have the right to
dictate my life. If I say I won’t marry, are you really going to force me?”
The room fell into an ufortable silence, with an awkwardness that permeated the air.
Javier’s face showed a dawning realization of Scarlett’s firm resolve, but his desire to relent was
complicated by the pressure of his mounting debt.
He opened his mouth to retort, but Freya intervened, grabbing his arm, “Enough, any further
pestering would be uncouth.”
Javier stood frozen, his intentions clear yet stifled by his mother’s authoritative presence.
Freya, meeting Scarlett’s gaze, softened her expression and admitted, “Truthfully, I also feel that my
son isn’t worthy of you. If you want to reject him, just do it. There’s no need to worry about it.”
Relieved by Freya’s unchanged stance, Scarlett gave a respectful nod in agreement. Freya then
addressed Javier directly, “Clean this ce up and leave with your friends. You’ve already dyed
the staff here for too long.”
Resentment flickered across Javier’s face as he looked up at his mother, but heplied,
understanding that any further scene would only deepen his embarrassment–especially given the
live broadcast.
To ease the tension, Freya promptly took Scarlett’s hand and led her away from the stage, heading
toward the director and producer.
“It seems that Mdm. Pearson’s affection for Scarlett surpasses even that for her own son,” Isabe
remarked with a lightugh
Rosalie added, “If Scarlett is willing, I believe Mdm. Pearson would really want her as a daughter–
inw. I noticed how serious she was when she was mentoring Scarlett before.”
Christopher stood, signaling the end of the spectacle, “All right, the show’s over. Let’s go. Turning,
he realized Danielle had not yet risen and called out to her.
Danielle, phone in hand, informed Isabe with a hint of reproach, “You’re trending again.”
Isabe paused, then chuckled awkwardly, “Did I do something wrong?”
Danielle pocketed her phone and responded, “Of course, it’s right to do good things, but you really
do dare to take risks.”
Isabe understood her concern. Danielle was hinting at the potential repercussions of her actions,
suggesting a calcted strategy in theplex dynamics of refusal and eptance that might
leave her in an awkward spot if Scarlett eventually acquiesced.

Taylor and Riley shared simr concerns, wary of potential conflicts that could arise during filming.
However, they were relieved that the drama, though intense, was rtively minorpared to past
issues.
Their primary concern now was whether Freya and Scarlett could continue to work together
effectively.

Soon after, everyone gathered to decide on the theme for the next scene.
The choice was made quickly by drawing lots, leading Isabe to question, Isn’t the theme ‘home‘ a
bit too pointed, given today’s drama? The inte’s going to have a field day with this. It seems our
director and producer are under considerable stress, evidently not anticipating this twist. It’s almost
comical, watching them sweat over it.

Christopher and Rosalie suppressed their amusement, feeling inappropriate tough despite the
absurdity of the situation.
Freya, however, remained focused andposed, ready to delve into the discussions of the
uing scene. Scarlett, on the other hand, looked distinctly uneasy with the proceedings.
As the behind–the–scenes discussions wrapped up, the group prepared to part ways. They noticed
that Javier and his proposal entourage had vacated the premises. However, Javier lingered at the
end of the hallway with Sienna and Bartholomeo.
Isabe, ever observant, discreetly maneuvered her group to avoid direct interaction, giving Scarlett
and Freya room to pass by without further incident.
Onlookers familiar with Isabe’s tactics sensed that another spectacle was unfolding and shuffled
their feet in anticipation of more drama.
Unexpectedly, it became apparent that Freya and Scarlett had also parted ways. Freya continued
forward without pause, while Scarlett stopped, seemingly to engage with Isabe’s group.
Grateful by nature, Scarlett repeatedly expressed her thanks, acknowledging that her actions had
potentially imposed on others.
“Be sure to reject itpletely,” Isabe advised her with a supportive smile.
Scarlett responded with a lightugh, touched by the encouragement, “I will.”
Seizing the moment, Danielle extended her business card to Scarlett. “If you’re looking to take on
more diverse roles or no longer want to be exploited, you might need a professional manager. Feel
free to join our agency. Our current mission is to pave the way for female actresses,” she offered,
her tone light yet

Christopher was caught off–guard by Danielle’s slogan.
Isabe, amused by the impromptu pitch, chuckled. Isn’t Danielle’s slogan way too awkward?
