The car came to a halt in front of arge supermarket.
Javier arrived at the restroom.
Following the anonymous text message, he made a call
“If it weren’t for the urgent circumstances, we wouldn’t have offered you this opportunity… As long
as you follow our instructions, you won’t arouse any suspicion. By tonight, your debt of fifty million
will bepletely erased. No one will ever find out you had a gambling debt. We always keep our
word.”
Javier’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and a resolute look surfaced in his eyes.
As long as this debt of fifty million vanished into thin air, no one could use him of deceiving
Scarlett just to pay off his debts.
He could justify his actions by iming he was trying to win back Scarlett. Even if this revtion
drew criticism, it was certainly better than being suspected of devious fraud.
He was simply a naive young man who made foolish mistakes for love and lost his way. He had no
intention of hurting anyone.
This way, he wouldn’t have to confront the peculiar gazes of his mother and close friends.
From then on, he would never gamble again. In doing so, everything could return to normal as if
nothing had ever happened. There would be no blemish left by his side.
Upon receiving the message, Freya was overwhelmed with disappointment. This only strengthened
her determination to have Scarlett publicly disclose the matter.
When the two returned to find Danielle, the producer and director were still in conversation with her.
She was repeatedly ensuring that Team A–list wouldn’t cause any significant disturbance.
As the premiere countdown began, the online buzz grew louder and louder. People of influence and
status kept reaching out to them. It seemed as if the entire entertainment industry was shaking in its
boots, making them all feel on edge.
After the producer had triple–checked everything, he finally felt at ease. He was just about to leave
with the director when Danielle suddenly said, “Oh, right, we need to rece an actor.”
The director and the producer suddenly turned around, their expressions revealing an “I knew it”
look.
They even looked a little excited. “Go ahead, we can handle it.”
Danielle’s lips twitched. She wondered if Isabe’s persona was too overbearing. This wouldn’t be
conducive to progress. Fortunately, there was no immediate issue at hand, providing her with the
opportunity to tone things down a bit.
Observing the intense gaze of the director and producer, Danielle couldn’t help but wonder if they
had been pushed to the brink, which led them to adopt an attitude of despair. Their demeanor
seemed to challenge her as if saying, “Let’s see what other surprises you have up your sleeve that
we don’t know about.”

The theme of this stage y was “Home.” Isabe and Christopher would be portraying a story of
grand love from a national perspective. Their narrative revolved around sending a child off to
be a soldier, whoter sacrificed himself. The underlying message was that a nation’s
existence made a home possible.
The animal actor in the story was a military dog. The son brought home a puppy for his mother to
see, but in the end, only the injured military dog returned from duty and stayed by the mother’s
side.
Two animal actors were required for the story. The role of the puppy was easy to fill, but the part of
the adult dog required a bit more finesse.
At first, they had enlisted an ordinary animal actor–a well–trained and cooperative dog. However,
Danielle remained dissatisfied with the results. She believed that the dog’s expressions and
postures were all wrong, failing to truly captivate the audience.
As a manager, Danielle had additional considerations. The stage y’s theme was profoundly
inspiring and centered around promoting patriotism. She aimed to maximize its impact, hoping it
might even capture official attention.
While her primary goal was certainly not this, if the artists could by chance attract official attention, it
would be an undeniable bonus. Danielle hoped that the impact of this performance could genuinely
touch people’s hearts. If they could actually borrow a retired military dog, it would surely spark a
discussion.
Unfortunately, there was no way. Those military dogs were highly valued. They couldn’t be lent out
casually for such performances.
Eventually, Danielle bumped into Rnd. While a military dog wasn’t an option, a police dog was
totally eptable.
Afterward, Danielle sessfully persuaded Rnd by emphasizing the importance of stage
presence. Whether it was due to the prospect of positive publicity or a desire to show Alexander
respect, Rnd ultimately assisted by locating a recently retired police dog to join their
performance.
The police dog’s role was straightforward. Its primary tasks involved following instructions and
cooperating as needed. However, the key factor that truly mattered was its demeanor–the way it
carried itself on stage.
It didn’t need rehearsals. As long as its trainer was present, it could sync up with any situation.
Isabe and Christopher had managed to perform a wless rehearsal in sync with each other,
meeting the requirements perfectly. However, they simply hadn’t had the chance to inform the
director and the producer yet.
In truth, all animal species are the same. If they didn’t say anything, the other party wouldn’t know.
However, Danielle still mentioned that she had genuinely borrowed a retired police dog with a
distinguished service record.
The director and producer, aware that this was a promotional opportunity, didn’t worry about
anything. They simply nodded and left.
Once Isabe and Christopher had finished applying their makeup, they nned to head to the
lounge. The police dog and the trainer were already there.
It wasn’t often that they came into contact with a police dog, especially one sorge and imposing.

when not on duty, the dog was surprisingly affectionate. The three of them were utterly charmed,
seizing any opportunity they could to y with it.
At that moment, they saw Scarlett seeking out Danielle. They couldn’t help but stick around for the
juicy gossip.
Upon listening to their thoughts, Danielle expressed her agreement. However, she still offered a
word of caution. “This approach will likely stir up some controversy, whether it’s the undefined
gambling debts and emotional debts, or the incident of reporting Javier to the police.”
If one person were to directly use another,
gardless of the truth of the matter, there would always be clever individuals ready to jump in with
various conspiracy theories or attempts at moral coercion.
Upon eavesdropping, Rosalie suddenly spoke up. “Why not actfit out?”
Everyone turned their gaze toward her.
Rosalie suddenly felt a bit uneasy and scratched her ear shyly. “Well, that’s what we usually do,
right? Doesn’t your group’s performance involve a daughter seeking help from her mother when she
encounters trouble? Can’t this trouble be reced with this matter?”
Danielle’s eyes lit up instantly. That’s right. The primary reason we used to put on performances
was because there was often ack of evidence. We had to rely on our acts to provoke the
audience’s thoughts and encourage them to gather evidence. This time, the situation seemed quite

If it were to be reenacted on this unique stage, it would carry more conviction than a straightforward
statement. Although it wasn’t performed by Justice Upholder, Scarlett was to join their studio in the
future, indirectly reducing the exaggeration of Isabe’s persona.
Danielle was moved by the idea, yet she hesitated and said, “But to change ns at thest
minute…”
Having just finished applying her makeup, Reba came over, smiling as she said, “Scarlett
certainly has the ability.”
They had both meticulously studied their co–performers, naturally understanding the extent of each
other’s abilities.

She nced toward Freya, who was not too far away.
After all, they were aware of the entire truth, which was akin to knowing the full script. Scarlett was a
naturally gifted actress, and Freya was an award–winning actress. A minor script change would
hardly faze
them.
Freya had no objections. She nodded and said, “Let’s discuss how exactly we should modify it. The
performance could serve as a cautionary lesson, teaching girls the right way to handle such
situations.”
After she finished speaking seriously, she saw Scarlett lowering her head in embarrassment.
Everyone suddenly burst intoughter.
