The chapter opens with fans admiring the apparent affection and intelligence shared between Amelia and Jeremy, contrasting them with another couple who seem more like a political alliance. Despite Jeremy’s claim that Amelia couldn’t control him, many believe she holds significant influence over him, interpreting even their casual interactions as flirtatious.
As the horse race ends, the reality show wraps up smoothly, with speculation about a new season. However, it’s uncertain if Amelia and Jeremy will return, as they are both the biggest stars and the busiest participants. After filming, the crew tries to organize transportation for the guests, only to discover that these visitors are wealthy heirs and influential figures arriving in luxury cars, making the crew’s modest vans seem inadequate and embarrassing.
Sabrina leaves first, disappointed by Jeremy’s complete disregard during filming and after. Vincent also departs silently, feeling emotionally and physically drained after enduring the filming process. Amelia has arranged a company car for herself and Selena, but Jeremy offers to drive them. Selena quickly declines, not wanting to intrude on Amelia and Jeremy’s private time. Amelia, however, firmly rejects Jeremy’s offer, expressing a desire to keep distance to avoid bad reputations, leaving Jeremy feeling confused and hurt.
Jeremy reflects on his engagement arranged by his grandmother, realizing he can no longer ignore it and must confront the situation properly. He leaves in his luxury car without looking back. Meanwhile, Gianna and Miguel, who had hoped Amelia would join them, feel completely dismissed by her coldness. Miguel, especially, is disheartened as the show has shattered his confidence, and he no longer has the strength to persuade her. As they drive away, both plan to catch up on the outside world through their phones after being cut off during filming.
Chapter 331: The Reality Show’s Curtain Call
[They’re really flaunting how much they adore each other.]
[A perfect pair—both intelligent and capable. So much better than that other couple who just don’t seem to fit.]
[Exactly. That other duo is clearly a political alliance. Even a flirtatious person has admirers, but I bet Mr. Dester is being cheated on.]
Although Jeremy had claimed Amelia couldn’t control him, fans were convinced that if she truly wanted to, she could easily make him do anything she wished. When you root for a couple, even their casual conversations can appear flirtatious.
Once the horse race concluded, the reality show officially came to a close as well. Given how smoothly everything had gone, it seemed likely they would capitalize on this momentum and launch a new season soon. However, whether Amelia and Jeremy would participate again remained uncertain. They were undoubtedly the show’s biggest stars, yet also the busiest and hardest to pin down.
After filming wrapped, the crew returned everyone’s phones and arranged transportation to ensure all the guests got home safely. But the director hadn’t realized just how extraordinary these guests truly were. Outside, a fleet of luxury cars—some worth millions—was already waiting to pick them up. That’s when the crew finally understood these weren’t ordinary visitors; they were heirs, heiresses, and influential figures. Who needed their modest vans now? It was embarrassing and downright rude!
Sabrina was the first to leave. She had wanted to invite Jeremy to ride with her, but he didn’t even glance in her direction. Throughout filming, he had ignored her completely—never speaking to her in front of anyone—so she didn’t expect anything different now that the cameras were off. Not one to cause a scene, Sabrina decided to mull things over at home and quietly slipped into her driver’s car without saying a word.
Vincent was next. Before leaving, he had hoped to bid Amelia farewell and maybe even offer to drive her home. But she didn’t look his way once, and that stung deeply. He had endured so much during filming, and now Vincent felt utterly drained—both physically and emotionally. Without uttering a single word or asking for anything, he climbed into his car and left.
Amelia had arranged for her company to send a car to pick up both her and Selena. That’s when Jeremy spoke up.
“I’ll take you two home,” he offered.
“No, thanks. The company car is here,” Selena replied quickly, clearly flustered.
Jeremy’s offer wasn’t really for Selena; he wanted to drive Amelia. Selena was just along for the ride—an unspoken bonus. Even as that bonus, she wouldn’t dare accept. There was no way she would intrude on their private time.
Just then, the company car arrived, and Selena hurried inside. Amelia moved to get in as well, but Jeremy stopped her.
“Let me drop you off. I’m going that way anyway.”
“I think it’s easier if I just take the company car, so you don’t have to bother,” Amelia said, her tone clipped.
Her words made Jeremy raise an eyebrow. Why did she sound upset? Could it be that she was shutting him down immediately after filming ended?
