As the pointed comment 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 and lapsed into silence.

In the live room, where many fans were tuned in, recognition dawned alme instantaneously. The identity of the speaker, known for her incisive commentary, made them feel as if they were witnessing a metaphorical slap 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 clarity returned to the minds that had been clouded by the earlier commotion.

Even Isabella couldn't stand it anymore!

She already said no! Do you think she's playing 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 planning 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 declare 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 a compelling reason for the breakup initially, and it's unlikely that time could have changed that.

Isabella's initial interjection had catalyzed a wave of rational responses, culminating in a resounding flood of "She said no!" comments in the live room. The shift was both spectacular and unconventional.

Sienna, visibly agitated, questioned, "What are you doing? How could you ruin someone else's happy occasion? My daughter is just... she's just too embarrassed to say it."

Bartholomeo's face tightened with displeasure, clearly uncomfortable 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 her composure, Scarlett quickly expressed her gratitude, "Ms. Jeannet, 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 uncomfortable 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 place up and leave with your friends. You've already delayed the staff here for too long."

Resentment flickered across Javier's face as he looked up at his mother, but he complied, 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," Isabella remarked with a light laugh

Rosalie added, "If Scarlett is willing, I believe Mdm. Pearson would really want her as a daughter-in-law. 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 Isabella with a hint of reproach, "You're trending again."

Isabella 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."

Isabella understood her concern. Danielle was hinting at the potential repercussions of her actions, suggesting a calculated strategy in the complex dynamics of refusal and acceptance that might leave her in an awkward spot if Scarlett eventually acquiesced. 2/3

Taylor and Riley shared similar concerns, wary of potential conflicts that could arise during filming. However, they were relieved that the drama, though intense, was relatively minor compared 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 Isabella to question, Isn't the theme 'home' a bit too pointed, given today's drama? The internet'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 to laugh despite the absurdity of the situation.

Freya, however, remained focused and composed, ready to delve into the discussions of the upcoming 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.

Isabella, ever observant, discreetly maneuvered her group to avoid direct interaction, giving Scarlett and Freya room to pass by without further incident.

Onlookers familiar with Isabella'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 Isabella's group.

Grateful by nature, Scarlett repeatedly expressed her thanks, acknowledging that her actions had potentially imposed on others.

"Be sure to reject it completely," Isabella advised her with a supportive smile.

Scarlett responded with a light laugh, 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.

Isabella, amused by the impromptu pitch, chuckled. Isn't Danielle's slogan way too awkward?
