The whole internet was laughing at them!

“Maxwell, what the heck were you doing? I told you to take good care of Gianna. Instead, she fell and embarrassed herself!”

“Exactly! Didn’t you study styling abroad? Weren’t you supposed to be some kind of pro? How could it turn out like this?”

In the Nygards‘ living room, Marcelo and Miguel were firing questions one after another.

Even Emery spoke up, “Maxwell, you seriously need to work on your skills. You can’t handle the unexpected at all.”

Getting scolded from every side, Maxwell felt so wronged that he almost wanted to drop dead right there.

“I didn’t mean for it to go this way! At that time … ugh, forget it. You wouldn’t understand!”

Gianna never listened to him. She kept adding things she shouldn’t.

Her walk was stiff, her look didn’t match the vibe, and she had no clue how to face the camera.

How was he supposed to fix that? It was impossible.

Back in training, she had the basics down.

But later, she got hooked on acting, skipped practice, and messed up on stage.

What could he do for that?

And yet, all the blame landed on him. Was Gianna totally innocent?

The more Maxwell thought about it, the angrier he got. He waved his fists in the air, like he could punch out all that frustration.

“I worked with her every single day for this contest, morning until night. I never slacked.

“I kept changing her look and double–checking details, trying to prevent problems.”

But Gianna refused to cooperate and ruined it on stage. Now, everyone was dumping on him. It was totally unfair.

Still, he couldn’t say any of that out loud. He knew they’d just scold him more harshly.

A sudden thought hit him. Was that how Amelia used to feel? Wronged and helpless?

Just then, Gianna walked in and caught the end of it.

“Marcelo, Miguel, Mom, don’t blame Maxwell. It’s my fault. I didn’t work with him well enough. That’s why we failed.”

Her eyes reddened, as if she were about to cry. She looked so pitiful that it made people want to comfort her.

mistakes, but it’s not just on me.

“You saw it yourselves. The live show had all kinds of unexpected situations. Gianna also messed up. If she had worked with me, it wouldn’t have gone this badly.”

Gianna’s eyes filled with tears, like the whole world had crushed her.

“Sorry, Maxwell. It’s my fault. I dragged you down.”

Emery, who had been silent until now, couldn’t bear watching her daughter so distressed. She stepped in to defend Gianna and scolded her son.

“Maxwell, how can you put this on your sister? If she doesn’t understand something, then teach her. Enough arguing–just do better next time.”

He was still her son, so she held back from going too hard. She just wanted the fight to end.

Maxwell just frowned and shut down, refusing to say anything else.

And then, that strange thought hit him again. Maybe Amelia had felt the same way back then. Maybe that was why she decided to cut ties with the Nygards.
