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 everyone of their efforts to improve next time. There is no need for any additional

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 in the long run.
However, surprisingly, none of the three were willing to accept the idea. Mirabelle even deliberately questioned Danielle, asking if her unwillingness to find solutions was due to her past with Maverick. Then, feigning a pitiful demeanor, she apologized and humbly begged Danielle for assistance.
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.
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 scenes, but they were added at the manager’s insistence to draw attention Those who have been long–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 be blamed on Team Duo Alpha. It’s more accurate to say that the manager’s judgment was off. She thought that leveraging their strengths would be enough to stand up to Team A–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?
This instantly sparked a tidal wave of reactions. After all, instances of managers backstabbing their artists in the entertainment industry were far from rare.
