Chapter 160 The Principle Of Adulthood

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

later."

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

"When did 1-

"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 a large 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 particularly bright or capable, but he had been compliant. 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 once a gentle-hearted person like Scarlett made up her mind, there was no turning back

"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 discomfort 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 clarity 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 glanced at Bartholomeo with disdain, choosing not to engage further. She turned to Javier and commanded, "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. Chapter 160 The Principle Of Adulthood

Only after they had departed did Scarlett finally exhale a sigh of relief, expressing her farewells to Isabella 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-hearted laugh, while Isabella maintained an innocent expression.

They had indeed made an impression, dominating the internet'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 replay of the marriage proposal broadcast. The online community continued to revel in the aftermath.

Support came forward for Javier from his friends in the ran community, who believed Scarlett had spurned his sincere affections. They shared images of a desolate 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 online community swiftly rallied in defense of Scarlett, dismissing the attempts to paint her as the villain.

Quit your guilt-tripping. We won't buy into that!

Even Justice Upholder said you were in the wrong. Are you not accepting their verdict?

Your heartache, your sincerity, that's all your business. The principle of adulthood is to keep your affairs from involving

others!

Why are you posting this kind of video on your Instagram? Are we that close? You're putting it out there for us to judge?

Looking for someone who can sympathize with you? It's not often we come across people as self-righteous and thick-skinned as you.

The person who had posted the rant soon

deleted it, overwhelmed by the backlash.

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.

Isabella checked up on the situation and learned that Sienna, Bartholomeo, and Javier were still trying to sway Scarlett's decision. However, their influence seemed diminished compared 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 Rebecca came on set as a supporting actor, she remarked, "Earlier, people online were speculating 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 submitted, not

Rumors circulated 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, Isabella 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 had come 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 play.

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, encapsulating 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 Isabella'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.

Isabella 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 contemplate contacting the authorities.

Isabella's expression turned somber as she grasped the gravity of the situation. Clasping 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 Isabella's sudden declaration, 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!
