"Still pretending? I've never seen someone so shameless. Can't she just drop the act for a second? After everything, she could. still be without blinking. Mr. Harrison would bow before her? Seriously, enough with the nonsense! How can she be so full of herself? Chloe Chloe felt an overwhelming urge to rip that smug expression off Ms. Xavier's face. "Ms. Xavier, you're going to make me die laughing. Who do you think you are? Does Mr. Harrison even know you?" "Of course he knows me. I even have his number, Natalie said, her beautiful eyes lifting with a smirk. "But usually, it's him calling me."

"Then why don't you call him over right now?" Chloe quickly shot back, her eyes gleaming with malice.

Chloe thought, "You asked for it, Natalic. You're always showing off, huh? Since you said Smooth Skin and Mr. Harrison weren't that great, why don't you show us how good you are? Today, I'll reveal to everyone that you're a liar! Let's see how you manage to keep that front after being roasted online.

Chloe's thoughts sparked delight within her. She crossed her arms, teasingly urging. "Come on, call him! If you're such good pals, you shouldn't have any trouble reaching out"

With tensions rising on both sides, Tessa, who had been silent, cleared her throat.

She stepped forward and tugged at Chloe's sleeve. "Chloe, let's dil it back a bit. Ms. Xavier clearly knows her stuff-just look at her skills in boxing, I believe she definitely knows Mr. Harrison. You know how busy he is; it's totally normal if he can't come over."

Chloe pointed at the camera, "But the audience is waiting. Ms. Xavier, don't let them down; just make the call."

Tessa could a couldn't calm Chloe down, so she leaned in and spoke sofily to Natalie, "I know they didn't choose you as the endorser this time, and that might be disappointing. I admire you and feel sorry for you. How about this: I'll have Mr. Harrison speak to you about a chance at the audition. What do you think? Chloe's just being difficult; don't stoop to her level."

But Natalie shot her a glance that suggested she had just heard a funny joke. "You really think I need an audition"

Tessa found herself at a loss for words. Even though Andrew invited her, she wouldn't be byp**g the audition process. Now, she offered Natalie a shot at the initial selection, but Natalie refused. Tessa held back her frustration, unsure of what to say next.

Chloe had seen enough. She called out, "She doesn't appreciate your kindness. Come on, Ms. Xavier, just call him." "Alright then. I'll do

I do it, Natalie said with a bright smile. "I don't know why you want a slap in the face so hard.

In truth, she didn't want to bother with these people. They were on entirely different levels and wouldn't normally cross paths. Yet, here they were, jumping to provoke her. Talk about rudeness.

With a smile, Natalie extended her hand, and a maid quickly handed her a phone, respectfully saying, "I've called Mr. Harrison for you, Ms. Xavier."

'Let's see how long you can keep this charade up. That number must be unreal. Chipe rolled her eyes as she thought. Clancing down at Natalie, who remained calm and collected, she thought, 'Is this the mindset of a liar? Soon, she will be embarrassed on live television, and yet she's so composed

The call connected quickly. Natalie only said, "Come to the Sweet Love Base." She tossed the phone back to the maid and. shrugged at everyone, Just wait. He'll be here in 30 minutes.

"Creat!" Chloe shot back slyly. "Let's just hope you won't make us wait for nothing

In the live stream, the thirty million online viewers all witnessed this incident, and the comment section was already buzzing with excitement.

[Seriously, the more she talks, the more ridiculous it gets. Natalie is so annoying: just looking at her makes me want to puke!]

There's something wrong with your stomach. Maybe you should find yourself a doctor.]

[I bet Nat can definitely get Mr. Harrison to come over! Just wait to be proven wrong!!

I'll bet a hundred bucks she can't get him here. If she does, I'll be her lackey.]

Welcome to team Tessa! She's beautiful, kind, and low-key; investing in her is definitely a safe bet!]

Natalie is

is trying so hard to show off. This time, she's going to lose everything.]

I have to say. Smooth Skin isn't really that

. It's just a marketing gimmick.]

y does everyone think Natalie is Justing? Have you considered that maybe what she's saying is actually true?]

You sound just like Natalie. Go get a job, Why Meanwhile, in in the Luther Group's p's office, Howard slammed his hand on the table in frustration upon seeing the chaos online Darren, who was busy handling paperwork, frowned and looked up, annoyed. "What are you doing?" Howard had barged into his office early in the morning, asking for a date plan and even wanting his secretary to help with at date presentation. Who's the one planning a date? Darren thought, almost losing his temper. If Howard weren't such a single-minded person, he would have suspected that Howard was provoking him. "He's s going on a date with my ex-wife, trying t to be my kid's stepfather, and asking me for dating tips, Darren thought. Darren told Howard to go away and soon noticed Howard was glued to his phone, alternately grinning like a fool and then frowning. Now, Howard was going wild, stomping over, and angrily asking Darren, do you know Mr. Harrison?" "Nope." "Darren replied, having no recollection of the name

Howard reminded him, "The guy who practices boxing! A couple of years ago, your grandpa wanted to learn boxing, and you brought him over."

Darren finally remembered. "Oh, what's up?"

Howard looked at him like he was a lifesaver, quickly explaining what had happened in the livestream.

He pleaded, "Darren, the whole internet is waiting for Natalie to embarrass herself. Can you please call Mr. Harrison and ask him to help stage a little drama? I'll pay anything to help my wife save face!"

"Your wife!" Darren snapped, his irritation bubbling over. "You haven't even dated her yet."

Howard grinned. "Come on, Darren, please! Just give me Mr. Harrison's number, and I'll call him myself

Darren looked at his smile, feeling a wave of annoyance wash over him, wanting to punch him.

He scolded, "Why do you want someone like her, anyway? All she does is stir up trouble. Honestly, she shouldn't have talked big

"Darren, Howard interrupted, pushing his phone in front of him. "First, make the call. After that, you can lecture me all day, and I'll listen intently."

"Well, what if I tell you to stop pursuing Natalie?" Darren replied, giving him a sharp look.

Howard said awkwardly, "I'd rather die"

"Nice ambition!" Darren gritted his teeth and dialed Andrew's number.

Two years ago, he had indeed reached out to Andrew, hoping to invite him to their home to teach his grandfather. At first, the guy wouldn't give him the time of day, but for some reason-probably because of his sincerity-he eventually agreed. Lost in thought, he heard a cheerful voice. "Mr. Luther?" Darren responded with a grunt, getting straight to the point. I need your help with something, Mr. Harrison."

Before he even finished. Andrew quickly shot back, "I can't do it right now; I have something important lined up."

However, Darren, undeterred, said, "Mr. Harrison, I'm willing to pay whatever you ask, but I need you to go to the Sweet Love Base immediately and pretend you know Natalie. Just play along and put on a little show."
