“Mr. Sawyer, Ms. Woods, we require some clarification on this matter!” Riley declared with evident urgency. Both William and Jennie, who were caught in the midst of a heated exchange with Isabella, were visibly startled by this interruption. The atmosphere in the dressing room, previously tense, seemed to spike with restlessness. Everyone present wore expressions of complete shock, their eyes darting between their phones and the unexpected scene unfolding before them. In the puzzled glances thrown their way, there were those who bit back words, some who suppressed sneers, and others who couldn't hide their disdain or their schadenfreude. What's wrong now? Has something else surfaced online? Despite the scandal that Isabella had ignited, William had believed it would dissipate for lack of solid evidence, assuming their fans would have dismissed it by now. “What's the matter?” William demanded, seeking clarity amid the confusion. Connor, caught off guard and visibly shaken, almost handed his phone to William but hesitated, his hands trembling. He, too, was taken aback by the revelation that Jennie, not Jessica, had been the fabricator of lies throughout this saga. Before he could react further, the room's typically dormant projector flickered to life. Both William and Jennie paused, their argument interrupted by a sudden intrusion. “Is it that expensive? Can you afford it, Jessica?” a familiar voice echoed through the speakers, causing William to whip his head around in surprise. On the large screen, only the lower halves of two women were visible. One figure, strikingly similar to Jennie on the day she had provocatively lifted her skirt for a photo, stood opposite another. William, squinting at the screen, struggled to recognize Jessica by her attire alone—her figure was so gaunt that her clothes hung loosely on her. The only clues he had were the black card in her hand and the voice resonating from the speakers. The scene continued to unravel, showcasing Jessica's panic and desperation as she attempted to make a call, only to be interrupted by Jennie offering her supplementary card... followed by a resounding slap. “No!” Jennie lost all composure and shrieked, her facade of calm shattering as she demanded, “Turn it off, turn it off! Who did this? Turn it off!” Her sudden outburst, shedding the image of tranquility she had maintained, revealed her true panic. Christopher, observing Jennie's frantic reaction, quietly pocketed his phone. Just moments earlier, Isabella had whimsically mentioned how public execution would be fitting. This had prompted Christopher to employ such a tactic, bringing the truth to light in such a dramatic fashion. Who did Jennie think she was fooling, anyway? Entangled in her deceptions yet bold enough to accuse Isabella of slander. But the Quirks are not one to be trifled with; we're staunch defenders of our people. As Jennie continued her outburst, someone from the crowd couldn't help but comment, “Ah, there's no use getting worked up, Ms. Woods. The video has already gone viral. Everyone has seen it.” This revelation struck Jennie like a thunderbolt, causing her legs to buckle, and she collapsed to the floor. In that instant, William seemed to lose all sense of himself, staring blankly as the video played on. Isabella, witnessing the chaos, could barely contain her amusement at the unexpected public unraveling of their lies. At this point, we have to kick them while they're down. Just watch my performance! She stepped forward, confronting Jennie, “Ms. Woods, are you going to prove your innocence with your life?” Jennie, caught off guard, could only glare at Isabella, a mix of embarrassment and rage contorting her features. All Isabella did was blink innocently, a look of feigned admiration on her face as she remarked, “I must admit, your professional background really shines through. You can certainly learn a lot from working on a show.” Jennie's face contorted with frustration, her emotions a vivid display of turmoil. Upon hearing Isabella's biting sarcasm, everyone wanted to burst out laughing but restrained themselves, recalling Jennie's earlier emotional breakdown. Indeed, the acting skills of someone who majored in acting are truly exceptional. Who could've expected this? Unexpectedly, the drama had commenced even before the filming of the show had begun. With a smirk, Isabella turned to William, adding, “You were saying, Mr. Sawyer?” Catch a thief and you'll find his loot; expose a cheater and there's always a pair. You're not escaping this, William. William, almost mechanically, turned his gaze toward Isabella, only to hear her mimic his earlier statement, her face up close and expression exaggerated, “Jennie has never been disrespectful to...” The color drained from William's face as the video played to a part where Jessica walked past two silhouetted figures. Isabella pointed directly at one of them and declared, “That's me, see? Your wife truly didn't say a word to me, so...” William's figure faltered, realization dawning that they truly didn't know each other; there had been no instigation, no manipulation—everything had been merely coincidental. Isabella's smile widened. “So, about this rumor-spreading matter, I do plan on getting to the bottom of it. Unless, of course, you offer me a sincere apology.” Isabella had masterfully turned the tables on all the accusations previously hurled at her by William and Jennie. Finally, she added, “I believe that Mr. Sawyer, upon seeing the truth, will definitely choose to stand with reason.” At this, everyone finally burst into laughter, unable to contain themselves any longer.Connor, previously so assured, now trembled with fear, their arrogance evaporated in the face of undeniable truth. “Ms. Jeannet, it's all a misunderstanding. We can handle this amicably,” he pleaded. Hayden looked up sharply and countered, “No, we need your apologies. If it weren't for the uproar online, Ms. Jeannet would have been wrongfully accused to death.” Connor nudged William urgently. However, William, overwhelmed by the revelations and the crowd's mockery, was too distraught to respond. He stared down at Jennie, his voice trembling as he asked, “What is... What's going on? Have you deceived me?” Jennie was utterly defeated, unable to raise her eyes to meet those of anyone around her. Overwhelmed by the undeniable truth, all she could manage was to sob softly under the weight of her exposure. “Tell me, why did you lie!” William's voice thundered in sudden fury, shattering the heavy silence that enveloped the room. Internally, William grappled with his emotions, torn between the regret of having wrongfully accused his wife and the seething anger and shame of having so fervently defended Jennie, who had now turned out to be his deceiver. “No, William, it's not what you think... I didn't intend for any of this to happen, I...” Jennie stammered, her voice choked with emotion. Overcome with despair, she turned and fled the room, her departure marked by an air of devastation. Jennie's assistant and the other staff members, their faces etched with embarrassment, quickly followed her out, eager to escape the unfolding drama. Meanwhile, William remained rooted to the spot, his body quaking with a mix of rage and shock, his features twisted in a visage of disbelief and confusion as if he couldn't comprehend the reality that had just unfolded before him. Connor, caught in the urgency of the situation, was already buzzing with nervous energy, akin toa cat on hot tin roof.Online, the Twitter trending page was overwhelmed, paralyzed by the influx of explosive revelations concerning the actor's scandal. Netizens swarmed to various short video platforms, where the news spread like wildfire, blossoming across the internet in mere minutes. Despite the swift response from the public relations team, they were unable to stem the tide of emerging details. William found himself at the epicenter of the most significant crisis of his career. This was no simple scandal captured on video; it had ballooned into a profound issue of personal character and morality. Taylor and Riley, aware of the gravity of the situation, were desperate for them to devise a strategy for damage control. William and Jennie were central to My Acting Skill. While the controversy might temporarily spike viewer interest, it risked dragging the entire production into disrepute. They had promoted the show under the premise of aiding William in helping his former on-screen partner stage a comeback. Voices online were already sharply critical, condemning the show's team for ostensibly supporting wrongdoing and facilitating the misconduct of a mistress. Therefore, Taylor and Riley were in a panic; they had to immediately come up with a solution.
