Apparently, Mirabelle has no idea about Hendrick’s intention to propose. She’s so shocked that she’s at a loss for words. Danielle remains calm and asks if he is really going to propose. What if he loses?
Surprisingly, Hendrick responds that if he loses, he will not pursue her, but if he wins, he will propose and increase the hype. This also paves the way for his transformation. He even adds that he truly wishes to marry Mirabelle. Hmm, the young man seems a bit insincere, doesn’t he?
Alexander thought, “It’s hard to judge. After all, in the entertainment industry, marriages of convenience for the sake of profit aren’t uncommon.”
But at that time, popularity was largely driven by trending actors. If one were to get married, regardless of their gender, their popularity and resources would significantly diminish. This would only be an exception if Hendrick had already decided to abandon chasing trends and truly intended to transition into a serious
actor.
Haha. I seriously can’t stop laughing. Hendrick’s move is so audacious, he actually seeks his girlfriend’s ex’s blessing right on the spot. I bet the expressions on Maverick and Mirabelle’s faces are priceless.
However, Maverick loses some decency, mocking Mirabelle on the spot. He accuses her of being vain and opportunistic, suggesting she has been toyed with by countless wealthy men before turning to Hendrick. He can’t believe that such a shameless woman could find a willing fool like Hendrick, who isn’t even afraid of being cuckolded after marriage.
He’s just lucky to avoid a beating.
Upon hearing this, Alexander was reminded of the information he had gathered from his investigation.
Rumor had it that Maverick initially took on jobs from dawn till dusk to support Mirabelle, even landing himself in the hospital due to excessive fatigue. Yet, Mirabelle caught the eye of a silver–spooned kid who pursued her.
Perhaps it was reality that had dealt the crushing blow. His longtime girlfriend.
andoned him while he was hurt and left without a shred of mercy.
This was when Maverick started to harbor resentment toward Mirabelle.

Surprisingly, Hendrick isn’t angry. He simply says that Mirabelle is great, as if he unconditionally believes in his girlfriend. But this only serves to infuriate Maverick even
MORE.
He states his terms outright. If Mirabelle were to kneel before him, bow her head in apology, and drink an entire bottle of wine, he would agree to collaborate… He shouldn’t be playing the role of a domineering celestial lord, but rather a tyrannical CEO. Doesn’t he feel any shame uttering such words?
Alexander thought, “Tyrannical CEO?”
Overwhelmed by humiliation, Mirabelle runs out.
Afterwards, Danielle scolds Maverick, who, finding it bothersome, makes the excuse of feeling suffocated to leave by himself. Danielle tries to stop him but fails, even spraining her ankle in the process. Therefore, Hendrick stays behind to take care of Danielle.
Danielle kindly urges him to go out and find Maverick, but he turns a deaf ear. This Hendrick is certainly a carefree soul.
Alexander thought, “This is strange. What is he thinking?”
Isabella was also feeling puzzled when she suddenly heard a commotion from outside.
Maverick’s voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing a raging fury. He demanded, “Why are you running? Can’t you face me?
“M–Move aside…”
Mirabelle extended her delicate, pale wrist, pressing it against Maverick’s chest. However, the difference in their strength made her efforts futile, further infuriating Maverick.
Maverick seized Mirabelle’s hands with one hand, pinning them above her head. She tried to struggle, but felt powerless, like a delicate beauty toyed with by at man’s whim. She could only lift her head, tears filling her eyes as she looked helplessly at Maverick.
This sort of scene might come off as cliché on TV almost like a soap opera moment. But witnessing it in real life, well… As a bystander, it truly stirs up a whirlwind of emotions, like a rollercoaster ride. There’s embarrassment, a dash of shame, and a surprising dose of excitement all mixed into one.

Maverick locked eyes with her, momentarily stunned. Then, he snapped harshly, “Who are you trying to seduce with that act? Do you think I’d fall for
your tricks. again?”
“I–I didn’t, Maverick… Y–You’re being unreasonable. I’m currently Hendrick’s girlfriend, please let me go.”
Her voice was soft and delicate, enough to make Isabella’s ears tingle. Instinctively, she rubbed her ear against Alexander’s chest, hoping for comfort, but it seemed she had chosen the wrong spot. Now, it was Alexander who felt the tingling
sensation.
When Mirabelle attempted to resist, she was swiftly forced back by Maverick’s overpowering strength.
Is he trying to convey that, given they are on the same level, if Mirabelle can love Hendrick,

she can also love him? Why can’t it be him?
