Freya, having already approached, was greeted by Sienna and Bartholomeo with forced smiles
stered on their faces.
Javier watched Scarlett from a distance before turning to his mother. “Mom, let’s all have dinner

Freya immediately furrowed her brows in disapproval. When did I ever teach you to disrespect
women like this?”

“She had no rapport with you, and she wasn’t being capricious. Where on earth did you get the
nerve to propose in front of such arge crowd? You thought you were moving her, but in reality,
you were just indulging in self–satisfaction. Putting her in such an awkward position, how is that
showing any respect toward women?”
“She was the one who rejected me, she made things difficult for me! She didn’t respect me first!”
Javier argued,
Freya’s expression grew stern, her disappointment palpable. “What’s wrong? Have your principles
gone haywire, and your mind too?”
It was clear to her that her son was veering off the path she had hoped for him. In the past, he
might not have been particrly bright or capable, but he had beenpliant. Now, he seemed to
be embroiled in all kinds of unseemly schemes.
“Mom, I am your son. If you also like Scarlett, then why don’t you…” Javier’s voice trailed off, heavy
with frustration.
“Because she’s not the type of girl you can pester desperately. I don’t care why you lost her. But I
know, you’re already out of the game in her heart.” Freya, adept at reading people, understood that

“Freya, about what you said-“Sienna began, attempting to intervene, but Freya cut her off with a
sharp look. Her authoritative demeanor immediately silenced the former.
“Who are you to call me by my first name? Are you her biological mother?” Freya challenged
directly.
A wave of difort washed over Sienna’s face. “Well, of
course.”
“Then you should act more like a mother. I’ve never seen a mother who doesn’t care about her own
daughter. You have a wonderful daughter; cherish her. Freya’s military background lent a no–
nonsense rity to her words, which left Sienna red–faced with embarrassment.
Bartholomeo, unable to contain his indignation, interjected, “Hey, don’t think we’re the ones chasing
after this. It’s your son who wants to marry our Scarlett.”
Freya merely nced at Bartholomeo with disdain, choosing not to engage further. She turned to
Javier andmanded, “Come, let’s go home.”
Javier, still wanting to argue, was sternly rebuked by Freya. The weight of familial expectations held
him back, preventing him from continuing to pester Scarlett.

Only after they had departed did Scarlett finally exhale a sigh of relief, expressing her farewells to
Isabe and the others. “Wishing everyone a smooth final performance,” she said with a genuine
smile.
“Don’t worry, Justice Upholder won’t be able to judge you,” Danielle joked. “She’s already put her
foot
down earlier.”
Everyone shared a light–heartedugh, while Isabe maintained an innocent expression.
They had indeed made an impression, dominating the inte’s trending topics for the day.
Back at home, the Quirks who had missed the live drama felt a pang of regret as they settled down
to watch the rey of the marriage proposal broadcast. The onlinemunity continued to revel in
the aftermath.
Support came forward for Javier from his friends in the ranmunity, who believed Scarlett had
spurned his sincere affections. They shared images of a deste Javier, drunk and calling out
Scarlett’s name, attempting to garner sympathy. Some of his fans began targeting Scarlett,
dredging up old, baseless rumors to stir controversy.
However, the public response was overwhelmingly critical. The onlinemunity swiftly rallied in
defense of Scarlett, dismissing the attempts to paint her as the viin.
Quit your guilt–tripping. We won’t buy into that!
Even Justice Upholder said you were in the wrong. Are you not epting their verdict?
Your heartache, your sincerity, that’s all your business. The principle of adulthood is to keep your

Why are you posting this kind of video on your Instagram? Are we that close? You’re putting it out

Looking for someone who can sympathize with you? It’s not often wee across people as self–
righteous and thick- skinned as you.
The person who had posted the rant soon
deleted it, overwhelmed by the bacsh.
The prevailing sentiment online was clear–Javier had acted inappropriately by proposing without
considering Scarlett’s feelings, and he deserved no sympathy for the rejection.
Despite the public support, the ordeal had taken its toll on Scarlett. She appeared visibly tired, the
dark circles under her eyes testament to the stress she had experienced. Nevertheless, she
cheerfully greeted them at rehearsal.
Isabe checked up on the situation and learned that Sienna, Bartholomeo, and Javier were still
trying to sway Scarlett’s decision. However, their influence seemed diminishedpared to earlier.
However, Scarlett’s mood seemed to improve significantly at the next meeting, almost as if a barrier
had been lifted. Freya’s mentoring role had blossomed, with Scarlett eagerly absorbing every
lesson.
When Reba came on set as a supporting actor, she remarked, “Earlier, people online were
specting about how they would get along afterward. Can I just say that they underestimated
women? What’s so unusual about women helping women?”
Taylor and Riley were visibly relieved to witness such a harmonious scene unfold before them.
Their anxiety further eased when the highly anticipated script from the top–tier team was finally

Rumors circted that upon receiving the script, both the director and producer were overwhelmed
with emotion; they couldn’t help but cheer and shed tears of joy, as if hearing the tolling of bells
signaling a well–deserved and peaceful retirement.
One day, Isabe happened upon Scarlett and Danielle deep in conversation in the hallway.
It was clear that Danielle was still actively promoting her ideas, and Scarlett’s engaged and positive
reactions indicated she was quite impressed by what she was hearing.
Scarlett hade to a significant realization–it was time to eliminate the negative influences in her
life. those she termed parasites. She was resolved to fulfill any remaining obligations to these
individuals but was determined not to let them dictate her life any longer.
On Danielle’s most recent visit, she confirmed that everything was almost finalized. They agreed
that Scarlett would sign the contract immediately following her next stage y.
The scripf chosen for Scarlett’s performance depicted a poignant tale of a mother–daughter duo. It
eloquently portrayed the vast sacrifices made out of maternal love and the heartfelt reciprocation
from the daughter, encapsting a tender narrative of familial bonds. This script not only
highlighted the struggles and triumphs of two women striving to enhance their lives together but
also served as a powerful reminder that children from single–parent households should not be
subjected to stereotypes.

Scarlett had selected this script with great care, as it mirrored her deepest desires. She longed for a
family dynamic akin to the one in the story, where the strength of the maternal bond provided all the
support and love necessary, challenging the traditional notion of maternal support that her own
mother often alluded to.
Freya expressed her delight upon learning about the script and Scarlett’s intentions to dissolve her
agency to join Isabe’s group. She offered her full support and encouraged Scarlett to reach out if
she needed assistance with anything.
The atmosphere remained tranquil and promising until the day before the live broadcast when an
urgent alert shattered the peace.
Scarlett had been found in a critical state, having ingested an excessive amount of sleeping pills,
and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
Isabe and Christopher, who were still at the agency, were shocked by the news. Danielle, the first
to receive the alert, was rendered speechless by the sudden turn of events.
How could someone who seemed perfectly fine just yesterday fall into such dire straits overnight?
Danielle began to suspect the possible impact of Scarlett’s family disputes over the contract signing.
The severity of the situation pushed her to contemte contacting the authorities.
Isabe’s expression turned somber as she grasped the gravity of the situation. sping Danielle’s
arm reassuringly, she said, “It appears she might have attempted to end her own life. We need to
get to the hospital right away.”
Christopher, caught off guard by Isabe’s sudden deration, could only stare at her in stunned
silence. Then, he heard her silent tirade against Javier.
D*mn it, Javier, you’re a real bastard, aren’t you!
