After ending the call, William's face was etched with disappointment. He hadn't expected Jessica to react so harshly. Turning to Jennie, he sighed deeply before speaking. "I'm sorry. I'm apologizing on behalf of Jessica. She... She's just lost it. I'll definitely have a serious ta "It's okay. I know she loves you. Love can make a person act crazy, I... understand." Jennie's response was calm, but internally, she felt a surge of excitement. Hearing William mention divorce seemed like a stroke of unexpected luck, shifting him closer to her side. Her gaze lingered on William, but noticing her stare, he looked away, discomfort clear in his eyes.

Jennie maintained a facade of vulnerability, appearing as the picture of wronged innocence. William saw it, his heart softening unintentionally, and in a moment of impulse, he grabbed Jennie's wrist.

Jennie's initial shock was about to turn into verbal surprise when William preempted her. "Let me take you to clear things up!" he declared, pulling her along.

Jennie's face fell, her mind racing with panic. How could I dare to clarify things now? She wanted to dissuade William, but it was too late.

Seeing Jennie's distraught appearance, William's heart ached with a mix of pity and resolve. He felt compelled to stand by her side, determined to seek justice for them both.

Their managers, meanwhile, were distracted, busy deleting posts and failing to prevent William's impulsive march for justice.

The makeup room doors burst open, and the once noisy room fell into stunned silence. No one had expected William and Jennie to return so suddenly.

They had mentally prepared themselves not to join the William's group for the upcoming shoot, given the embarrassing public exposure of their private affairs.

Oh no, their return just made everyone incredibly awkward... I can't bring myself to meet their eyes!

D*mn, he actually came back. Shouldn't he be too ashamed to show his face, finish his work alone, and then sneak away?

Isabella and others, including Christopher and Hayden, were equally surprised to see the duo at the door.

It's almost as if they're using the tactic if I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment falls on others. Indeed, those who can survive in the entertainment industry are not known for their thin skins.

Isabella was inwardly complaining when she saw William, his face pale, striding toward her with Jennie in tow. Judging by his expression, he was enduring a great deal. However, William, still smarting from the embarrassment he had just suffered, redirected his anger towa Chapter 67 Make A Fool Out Of Himself
