At that moment, Maverick stepped up and stood beside Hendrick, signaling his agreement. However, he failed to notice the bright spark in Hendrick's eyes due to his actions. The latter couldn't help but steal glances at him. Coming back to his senses, Christopher was nonchalant as he said, "You didn't. It was just

a competitive showdown, survival of the fittest really. Why wouldn't we use a better strategy if we thought of one? Haven't you ever done something at the expense of others for your own benefit?"

Seriously, Chris, you're starting to sound like a villain. But you're not wrong. These three are even more evil. They even thought of sacrificing Danielle to fulfill

their love story. How dare they question us? While they covertly inserted their personal agenda into the play, we, at least, performed it with transparency.

The Quirks listened with stifled laughter, desperately trying to suppress their smiles.

Upon hearing Christopher's response, the trio was indeed stunned.

They did not expect Christopher to admit it outright. They had thought he would come up with some sort of excuse. providing them a way out. Such a response left Hendrick and Maverick completely ken aback.

Maverick was least adept at dealing with such situations. Instinctively, he looked toward Danielle again, but, as before, there was no response, not even a single glance.

For the first time, Maverick realized he had no one to rely on. He felt as if he was walking a tightrope alone, filled with an inexplicable sense of unease.

Just when the atmosphere was unbearably awkward, Hendrick's manager came rushing over, breaking the tense standoff

After the excitement had died down, a few individuals went to hold a meeting, evidently concerning the recent stage play.

Currently, there was a live post-match interview taking place outside. They would have to go on stage later, and it seemed they wanted to use this opportunity to make up for something. Before long, Danielle returned, her expression gloomy.

The people around couldn't help but steal glances, their curiosity piqued.

"Why is she back alone? Didn't they have a meeting together?" The Quirks surrounding Isabella wondered.

After all, Danielle was still Maverick's manager at the time, and since their contract hadn't been terminated, it was only natural for her to work for Maverick.

While having her makeup fixed, Isabella couldn't help but take a closer look.

Haha, she's mad.

The Quirks immediately perked up their ears.

The company aims to salvage the reputations of the two idols, proposing several public relations strategies. Danielle, being the professional she is, helped them choose the most appropriate one: apologize for their poor choice of scripts, admit their mistake, and assure eve Chapter 104 Orchestrating A Distraction To Deflect Conflict

The Quirks pondered over it and felt it made

sense. A sincere apology might leave the netizens hesitant to continue criticizing. After all, their performances were predictably ordinary. Perhaps this approach could earn them some goodwill from the public. Acknowledging and rectifying mistakes is indeed commendable. As an artist, Christopher believed that this was the best public relations strategy. Sometimes, it was indeed better to be open and approachable rather than being standoffish. Even if it meant losing a bit of popularity and dignity, it was still the most advantageous approach i However, surprisingly, none of the three were willing to accept the idea. Mirabelle even deliberately questioned Danielle, asking if her unwillingness to replace solutions was due to her past with Maverick. Then, feigning a pitiful demeanor, she apologized and humbly begged Da A member of the Quirk family hissed, "Wow, the hypocrisy is so real. Mirabelle is clearly putting on a show for Maverick. She wants him to firmly stand by her side to set a trap for Danielle later on."

The dim-witted Maverick lashed out at Danielle, accusing her of not being willing to think things through and telling her to get lost. That's why Danielle had no choice but to leave

The Quirks couldn't help but scorn Maverick for his lack of discernment. Does he really think he's someone special?

As soon as she was chased away, these three troublemakers started plotting... D*mn! They've already taken action? Maverick, you really have no conscience, do you? You didn't even hesitate. I'm truly disgusted.

The Quirks, driven by curiosity, immediately moved closer to Isabella. What did they do?

Isabella did not respond. Instead, she immediately pulled out her phone and began to swipe through it.

The Quirks quickly joined Isabella in scrolling through Twitter.

At that moment, quite a few people's phones started to ring, including Danielle's.

Danielle picked up her phone and her face froze.

The hashtag #TheCulpritOfTeamDuoAlphaFailedStage Play was already trending. The topic quickly gained momentum.

Someone had supplied a marketing account with various rehearsal photos. All the images captured Danielle, script in hand, overseeing the scenes.

An alleged insider began to spill the beans wildly, writing: Actually, the original script for Team Duo Alpha was centered on grand righteousness and faith, not petty romance. It was his manager who forcefully demanded the change. Everyone initially refused those intimate s time fans of Maverick should know that his manager, Danielle, has always been the one in charge of his affairs, handling everything and making all the decisions. Maverick himself has no say. He simply follows her lead. Therefore, the mishap on stage this time can't really list, but it turned out to be a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

A response came immediately from below: How could the manager be so foolish? Instead of letting Maverick change his image, she had him do what he's usually good at. In't that just asking for trouble? Or could there be another motive?

A fan who had heard the news suddenly became incensed. They wrote: She used to be quite astute. I wonder if

Soon enough, a most-liked comment caught everyone's attention. It read: Rumor has it that the two seem to be planning to terminate their contract.

This instantly sparked a tidal wave of reactions. After all, instances of managers backstabbing their artists in the entertainment industry were far from rare.

Perhaps negotiations hadn't gone well, or perhaps there were harbored resentments, which led to them seeking an opportunity for retaliation.

ith such an explanation, the fans' object of hatred was instantly shifted. After all, compared to their beloved idol, they were more inclined to believe that others were the villains, and their idol was undoubtedly the victim. Hashtags such as #Sympathy ForMaverick, #ActorsChoiceOfScript, and

#WhatStopped You FromChanging Yourimage surfaced one by one. They seemed to paint Danielle as a puppet master controlling everything.

This news also influenced the barrage of live comments. The previous stream of mockery toward Team. Duo Alpha gradually began to shift toward sympathy: They even started to demand that Danielle apologize in the live room. Once public opinion was swayed, everything changed in the blink of an eye.

The staff members who were privy to the truth all looked sympathetically toward Danielle, understanding that she had been made a scapegoat.

However, they were insignificant people, lacking the financial resources to buy trending searches or hire ghostwriters. Therefore, even if they spoke out, it would be futile. Their words would simply be drowned in the flood of information. The director and producer remained in the shadows, evidently not wanting to get embroiled in this dispute. After all, it was their own internal affair. The industry was a complex web, and there was no shortage of those who were wronged. On the other hand, the Quirks, who were merely spectators, were far from pleased. They dropped countless hints to Christopher, expressing their dissatisfaction.

Christopher gave Hayden a meaningful glance.

With a sense of helplessness, Hayden held his phone and approached Danielle. "Do you need any help?"

Danielle slowly lifted her icy face, a cold laugh escaping her lips. "If I can't even handle this little matter, do you still want to recruit me?"

Upon seeing this, Hayden raised an eyebrow and commented, "It seems like nothing can stump you,

Danielle."
