Connor was acutely aware that if they didn't manage the unfolding crisis with finesse, the repercussions could be

catastrophic. He felt an urgent

need to pull William aside to regroup and strategize. Yet, just as he was about to act, a cough from Hayden

halted him, reminding him there. was still an audience to consider.

Frustration was building inside Connor, almost to the point of feeling like he was internally combusting, yet he

knew better than to provoke further conflict with influential figures involved.

"Sorry, we didn't thoroughly investigate this matter. We apologize to Ms., Jeannet" Connor offered, showcasing

his professional acumen in knowing precisely when to advance or retreat in a delicate situation..

Despite his attempt at diplomacy, the other party's response was chillingly dismissive, leaving Connor with no

choice but to urgently tug at William's arm to bring

him back to the present. William, jarred slightly by the insistent pull, began to feel the dual sting of

embarrassment and anger well up inside him.

He pondered the indignity of the situation. Here he was, a celebrated actor, his reputation far surpassing that of

Isabella, the rookie. Even if he had erred, what significant loss had it really caused Isabella that she should

demand such a fervent apology? William's pride was deeply wounded, having been trampled repeatedly in front

of this gathering. Yet, the pressure from his manager was relentless, compelling him to finally murmur, "I'm

sorry, | misunderstood."

The scene was almost surreal-a revered actor humbling himself before a novice was an unheard-of spectacle in

the industry. The rest of the attendees were visibly fascinated by Isabella, drawn to her compelling presence and

who started this in the first place!

Williamn was flabbergasted by Isabella's persistence; he hadn't anticipated her refusal to reconcile. Ultimately, it

was his manager who had to physically lead him away from the escalating scene.

The intended promotional video for William's group naturally fell through. Other groups had proceeded with their

filming, but the focus was lost, everyone distracted by the unfolding scandal and incessant online chatter.

Curiosity about how William would navigate this public relations nightmare was rampant. Yet, as

Dang, did she resort to suicide?

Everyone was taken aback.

Fake? Oh it's a mere ruse to deceive William.

Everyone was speechless.

It's utterly ridiculous. She claimed that her resentment over being tricked into a gathering was the cause of her

unstable emotions and impulsive actions. She regrets her rashness and claims she lied out of fear of being

disliked by William... Was she actually blaming all this Nods of agreement circled the room, as the rationale

presented was stretched beyond belief, and they were all aware that the supposed drinking party was a

time, he regained his composure and gently pushed Jennie away, clarifying that he couldn't return her affections

the nerve to call Jessica from Jennie's room The Quirks, although not personally acquainted with the individuals

compelled. to express their outrage vocally.

planned to navigate the crisis, they couldn't help but lament on his lack of morals.

On the balcony of Jennie's apartment, Connor said decisively, "It's tfor you to decide. Get a divorce, let

Jessica publicly admit to her mistakes, and then you can officially be with Jennie. Only then can we clear this
