Javier and Scarlett were once the quintessential couple, idolized by all who knew them. Their separation, never publicly dissected, led most to assume it was the result of the overbearing influence of Freya, a notorious meddler. It was generally believed that Scarlett withdrew from the relationship, recognizing the complexities involved with such a domineering family figure.
Recently, however, after witnessing the amicable exchanges between Freya and Scarlett on the show, whispers of a potential reconciliation began to circulate among their circle of acquaintances and fans.
Some time ago, Javier re–engaged with the production team of the show, seeking to utilize their platform to stage a marriage proposal. Given that his appearance was strictly for the announcement of the theme and not for a live broadcast, the production team was amenable to accommodating his request, hopeful that it might bring a touch of joy and positive attention to their program.
At that time, My Acting Skill was engulfed in controversy despite its soaring popularity, and the director and producer were eager for a smooth and harmonious finale.
Everyone involved in the production, except the key person, was informed of Javier’s plan to prevent any potential disruption to the program’s atmosphere.
“So, Mdm. Pearson was aware of this? She consented?” inquired Danielle.
Taylor affirmed with a nod. “Yes, although she seemed quite serious, she didn’t object.”
Christopher and Rosalie, overhearing this, were privy to the internal musings of Isabella.
Dmn, there was no opposition. Mdm. Pearson has grown fond of Scarlett and is open to her becoming her daughter- in–law. While she didn’t outright object to the proposal, she was concerned about the timing, considering it premature since Javier had not yet mended his relationship with Scarlett. Yet, seeing her son’s initiative, she chose not to hinder his efforts.
I must admit, Mdm. Pearson is quite perceptive. Proposing under these circumstances isn’t just a daunting challen it’s akin to daydreaming!
Christopher and Rosalie shared this sentiment. They couldn’t fathom why Javier would consider proposing when they hadn’t even reconciled. Did he truly believe Scarlett would accept? Was he delusional?
But on a lighter note, I’m curious to see what Javier has planned. I’m eager to discover what goes on in that mind of
his.
Christopher and Rosalie barely stifled their laughter.
The buzz around this development was palpable as they made their way to the stage, surrounded by a throng of eager onlookers engaging in lively discussions.
Danielle, however, seemed less enthused, sighing heavily.
“What’s the matter, Danielle?” Isabella asked, noticing her somber mood.
“I was considering poaching Scarlett,” Danielle revealed her expression one of deep contemplation.
*Really? Despite her having her own agency?” Christopher expressed his surprise.

“That makeshift troupe?” Danielle retorted dismissively. “I don’t mean to belittle family–run agencies, but let’s face facts.”
She continued. “Scarlett joined a fairly reputable film and television company right out of university. thanks to her mentor’s connections. They had a solid development strategy for her, which could have significantly advanced her career. However, her uncle and mother, lacking a deep understanding of the industry, viewed an actress‘ career as a fleeting youth opportunity. They pushed her to maximize earnings during her prime years, believing her initial company was too restrictive. Hence, they persuaded her to set up her own agency.”
“She’s so compliant, practically lacking her own discernment, Christopher observed, “In such circumstances, you wouldn’t be able to persuade hier otherwise.”
“I initially thought the same, given the complications when fanfily interferes with an artist’s career. But remember her issue with tax compensation?” Danielle posed to the group, who nodded in
acknowledgment. “In my view, while she was somewhat constrained by familial obligations, her clarity of thought persisted. She maintained filial duty within her tolerance, but when pushed beyond her limits, she decisively stepped back.”
“Choosing to join this variety show likely represents her decision to take a break and refine her acting skills. She hasn’t taken on much other work recently, which is quite uncharacteristic of her usual profit- driven endeavors. It’s evident she’s no longer strictly adhering to her uncle and mother’s directives prompting me to consider reaching out to her. As long as she maintains her clarity, she’ll recognize that running a family business isn’t suitable for her. She needs a more proficient manager,” Danielle concluded with a sense of resolve.
After expressing these thoughts, Danielle held her head high, clearly proud of her assessment.
Danielle found Scarlett intriguing. Despite her young age, Scarlett had portrayed a wide array of characters, establishing herself as a highly talented and versatile actress. Their interaction during the show confirmed Scarlett’s genuine passion for acting, far removed from those merely chasing quick profits.
With Scarlett in her fold, alongside Rebecca, Danielle felt empowered to cast for almost any leading female role in upcoming film and television projects. The potential to dominate popular dramas excited her.
Of course, that wasn’t enough.
“Looks like you really like Scarlett, and I quite like her too,” Rosalie remarked with a smile.
Danielle nodded in agreement. “I value kids who are talented and ambitious, those who aren’t afraid to work hard, face hardships, and strive relentlessly.”
Isabella, catching the implied comparison, thought somewhat defensively, Why do you look at me every time you talk about hard work? Are you trying to make a point?
Christopher and Rosalie struggled to hold back their laughter, well aware that Danielle was also keen on promoting Isabella.
Regardless of other factors, Isabella’s significant background afforded her any resources she desired. Once her identity was fully acknowledged, no one dared oppose her. Moreover, her unique status as a wealthy heiress capable of romanticizing the story of the rich and powerful, paired with her extremely handsome husband, offered an enticing narrative path Danielle was eager to explore.
Danielle couldn’t resist a sarcastic remark, “Rebecca has only been with us for a week, and she’s already on

No matter how skillfully you wield your invisible whip, I want budge. Because my dream is to gain without pain! Upon hearing Isabella’s bold but silent declaration, Christopher and Rosalie finally burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Danielle inquired, puzzled.
Isabella curiously glanced at the people behind her, prompting Christopher to quickly change the subject. “You said you wanted to poach Scarlett, but now you’ve changed your mind?”
