Listening to Gordon's lengthy speech, Rebecca's expression had already soured considerably. However, she was too embarrassed to rebuke him harshly.

She began to let him down gently. "Mr. Gonzales, in my eyes, you have always been my mentor and my teacher. I deeply respect you."

The smile on Gordon's face gradually faded, his expression growing increasingly somber. Rebecca's reluctance was palpable, her brows furrowed in refusal. He felt that Rebecca was putting on airs and embarrassing him.

"Do you know why your company only questioned youn few times about your impending contract expiration and then stopped pressuring you, Rebecca?" Gordon suddenly asked.

Taken aback, Rebecca replied, "Once the contract expires, they won't be able to give me a hard time even if they want to."

In reality, she knew she must have offended her previous company. The nasty news about her had been growing trending these past few days. Her management company should have handled it, considering their contract was still in effect. Yet, they had done next to nothin Considering all the things her previous company had used her for, how could a company that ruthlessly exploited people, especially naive young men and women, suddenly develop a conscience?

During this relatively peaceful period, Rebecca had assumed it was due to her advancing age, thinking that her ex-company no longer found any value in her, hence the absence of drastic measures.

But upon hearing what Gordon had said, Rebecca felt a bit uneasy.

"They naturally wouldn't want to let go of you. You're like a cash cow for them, one that's capable of entertaining clients," said Gordon.

Rebecca's face immediately soured.

"It was out of respect for me that they let you off the hook because I claimed you as mine," Gordon said: slowly. "Your company's willingness to discuss this project with you before you leave is also due to me. I want to consider this project as my proposal gift to you Rebecca's face was filled with surprise. "Why would they listen to you?"

"I told your boss," Gordon said, "that as long as you are granted freedom, I will secure investments and establish new connections for them."

A wave of nausea washed over Rebecca as if she had been reminded of something unpleasant.

Although Gordon had built his fortune with his wife's help, he had been in the business for many years and had established his own network of connections through various channels. However, these were probably not enough to make her company back down The company was actually afraid of Ruth's capital.

what worried the company more was the possibility of Gordon stirring up Ruth's jealousy against the company should his proposal be rejected. With her connections, it would be easy for her to retaliate. Even if they explained the situation to Ruth, it might not do any good. It was clear that Ruth was thoughtless, given she was willing to let her husband appear on a show with her romantic rival. Rebecca's company would undoubtedly be the sacrificial lamb in the couple's spat.

Therefore, they did not dare to offend Gordon and could only yield to his requests.

Once Rebecca had figured it out, she suddenly saw the man before her in a new light. He was both foolish and wicked, inadvertently using his wife's notoriety to win over other women. Does he really think he's so special?

Rebecca managed to maintain her composure as she responded, "Honestly, no matter what tricks the company tries to pull, it won't make a difference. My decision to leave is firm. I'm prepared to endure some hardship, as long as I'm not dead, anything is fine. As for this s Rebecca sincerely promised to repay the favor, considering that this show was indeed the best opportunity she had ever come across,

Gordon had never anticipated that despite his direct explanation, Rebecca would still refuse to accept him. What a horrid, ungrateful woman! He didn't want to admit that Ruth was right, so he decided to give Rebecca one last chance.

"You've truly broken my heart, I suddenly feel a bit unwell," Gordon said, melodramatically clutching his chest, "Could you call the director for me? I don't think I can act anymore."

Stunned, Rebecca felt as if her blood was running cold. She couldn't believe that Gordon would stoop to such lowly measures to threaten her.

"Mr. Gonzales, t-this is your show too. If you don't go on stage, it would be a serious issue, pleaded Rebecca

"I'm getting on in years, and my heart isn't in the best shape. I trust those netizens won't hold it against me. He paused before adding nonchalantly, "Later, if things

get serious, I might have to drop out of the show to stay in the hospital for observation. After all, so many groups have already withdrawn, I'm sure the director will know how to handle it."

Rebecca started to tremble all over.

"Right now, the whole internet is against you. I believe the online community probably doesn't want to see much of you either," Gordon added.

Rebecca's eyes reddened, her voice hoarse. "Mr. Gonzales, did you really have to take things to such an

extreme?"

Danielle was still on probation and Rebecca was aware that her situation was complicated. Besides, Danielle's agency had a reputation for not tolerating any misconduct. Rebecca was unsure if they would be willing to take on someone like her. That was why she had neve Her hope had always been to use this live broadcast program to showcase her professional abilities and gain popularity. During the previous episode, she had received several contract inquiries. However, there were still hesitations due to the scandals associated with her 214 Chapter 130 A Threatening Proposal

For instance, even though she was slandered all over the internet that day, the attention she received was at its peak. As long as she performed well, she could definitely turn the tide

of public opinion. Filled with fighting spirit, she was eagerly awaiting this chance to turn things around.

She assumed that even if misunderstandings led to conflicts, or if she had rejected Gordon's romantic advances, he would be professional enough to respect the stage instead of breaching his contract. Even if the other party didn't perform well, she would bear all the press However, things took an unexpected turn.

If she missed this opportunity, it was as if all her hopes were completely dashed.

Gordon noticed the utterly defeated look on Rebecca's face. He chuckled lightly, then regained his gentle. demeanor. Raising the ring box, he extended it toward Rebecca.

"Marry me. Be a good girl, and I will rescue you."

Backstage, Isabella's heart skipped a bit. She startled Danielle when she suddenly stood up. When Danielle turned around, she immediately noticed the Quirks waving their goodbyes from backstage. Surprisingly, Isabella and Christopher said in unison, "Il walk you to the exit."

Danielle wore a look of confusion, about to ask them to stay as they would soon start the live broadcast in the waiting area. However, she found them all walking out the door at a brisk pace.

Reluctantly, Danielle had to follow along, keeping a close eye on the time. She absolutely detested making mistakes.

No sooner had she just gotten around the corner than she heard Taylor's irate cry echoing from the far end of the corridor.

"What? Mr. Gonzales is unwell and can't go on stage? You're looking for a replacement actor at the last minute? This isn't about whether it's feasible or not; it's about the time. Your performance is about to start, there's simply no time! Are you trying to put me in a tough spo "I-I'm sorry."

A weak, tear-filled voice echoed through the hallway.

Then, Danielle heard Isabella's voice.

"Oh? That's-"The rest of her words were cut off.

Danielle wondered, Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

The live broadcast channel soon began, and the comments section exploded.

Netizen I: It's about to start, I'm so excited!

home-wreckers who blatantly used their bodies to climb the social ladder is simply intolerable. It would be a complete disgrace not to deal with them.

Netizen 5: Come on and apologize, Rebecca! Apologize for those poor women you hurt! Apologize for those poor men you fooled!

Netizen 6: I suggest looking into Rebecca's financial records. Who knows, we might replace some evidence of illegal

activities.

Netizen 7: I suspect both her love life and finances are dirty! She should be sent straight to jail.

Netizen 8: Rebecca, you're the most beautiful and best person I know! Be true to yourself!

Netizen 9: Wow, there are even fans with skewed values standing by Aer side. It seems they're all cut from the same cloth.

Netizen 10: Actually. I have to admit, Rebecca's acting skills are quite professional.

Netizen 1: What profession? It's all about flaunting her charm and allure. Isn't it just playing to her own strengths?

Netizen 12: It's starting it's starting! Pay close attention now. Then, you'll replace more things to laugh at after watching Team A-list's embarrassing performance! Netizen 13: I've already set a trap for Team Noble in advance!

Netizen 14: Am I the only one who feels sorry for Mr. Gonzales? Just because he's an overly kind senior, he's being taken advantage of How pitiful!

Netizen 15: Remember, everyone. Direct your anger at that viren and not a poor honest man. Our Mr. Gonzales is an upright man who ain't falling for that witch's charms! Netizen 16: A confidant? What do you mean a creative take on the theme? A confidant is basically a mistress!

Netizen 17: Everyone, check this out! I found this fan made video. Rumor has it that watching it alongside Team Noble's stage play can enhance your viewing experience! Even before anyone had stepped onto the stage, there were already people promoting bizarre clips online.

In the hospital, Ruth had a stern expression. She said into her phone, "Has it been sent? Good, start buying those views! I want her to be ridiculed and insulted by all the live comments!" However, a moment later, the stage curtain in front of the live broadcast room unexpectedly fell again.

A flurry of question marks filled the comments section

The host took to the stage, apologizing awkwardly, "I'm sorry, everyone. Due to Mr. Gonzales ill health, we've decided to rearrange the performance order

for two of the groups. Up next, we invite Christopher and Isabella to present their themed performance: A Beautiful Disaster!"
