If Amelia hadn’t been the one taking the heat, the whole family would’ve probably ganged up on Marcelo by now.

“That brat already blocked me. I’m not calling her,” Maxwell grumbled, his tone sharp with irritation.

“Well, there’s no other option,” Marcelo said firmly, snapping his fingers in finality before turning to Gianna. “Gianna, whether you like it or not, you’re doing a public apology. Think of it as doing your part for the Nygards.”

The message couldn’t be clearer–after all the years they’d spoiled her, given her every luxury, and treated her like royalty, it was finally her turn to give something back.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll do it,” Gianna replied softly.

Outwardly, she seemed obedient, but inside, she was burning with resentment.

Being forced to publicly apologize to Amelia and Selena felt like the ultimate humiliation.

One of them is a second–rate actress who lost her spot in the Nygards, and the other is just a lip–sync stand- in–both nobodies compared to me.

And I’m expected to apologize publicly to them? What a joke.

I wouldn’t even want to give them a quiet, private apology!

So while she nodded meekly, she secretly threw Maxwell a pleading look.

Her eyes shimmered with that perfect mix of vulnerability and helplessness. And sure enough, Maxwell’s resolve began to crumble.

“Marcelo, maybe we can handle this differently. Just pay Amelia off. A little money should settle it. Why make a big scene with all these pointless apologies?” he said, finally jumping in to

defend her.

“Fine,” Marcelo said coolly. “If you think you can convince her, then call and work it out yourself.”

He wasn’t stopping him–he even threw in a “well–meaning” suggestion, telling Maxwell to call

Amelia himself.

He also added kindly, “You know how Amelia is. Her market value’s through the roof now, and she’s tight with the Currans. You really think you can offer her something she’ll accept?”

“She’s not going to ask for much,” Maxwell said defensively. “Giving her a few resources or offering a collab is already pretty generous.”

Marcelo almost laughed.

“Hah. She doesn’t care about your so–called generosity. She’d see that as us trying to mooch off her fame.”

Gianna, watching from the side, wanted to scream. Gosh, Maxwell is so useless–he can’t get anything done!

“Marcelo, I know the board’s been giving you hell, but don’t take it out on Gianna,” Miguel snapped. “You’re being too harsh.”
