The host smiled gently as he addressed the group. “Some might think drawing lots is rigged, like the crew planned everything from the start,” he said thoughtfully, pausing to scan the faces around him.

“But if you’d rather draw lots, that’s fine too. Let’s take a vote—should we draw lots or just form our own teams?”

Before anyone else could chime in, Jeremy was quick to respond. “No need for drawing lots. I’m all for free grouping, and obviously, I’m teaming up with Amelia.”

His declaration hit the fans like a spark of electricity. The livestream chat instantly erupted.

[Mr. Curran is so smooth! It’s clear he’s got a thing for Amelia. I love how straightforward he is!]

[He definitely came here for Amelia. Of course, he wants to team up with his wife!]

Anyone opposing Vincent’s group automatically earned Amelia’s silent endorsement.

Without missing a beat, Amelia nodded and said, “Yeah, I’m for free grouping too. That’s the only way to avoid ending up with people who annoy me.”

Her words made Jeremy’s lips curl into a warm smile; his eyes softened with affection as he glanced at her.

Their subtle, unspoken exchange didn’t go unnoticed by the fans. The chat exploded again.

[They’re so cute. One look and they already get each other!]

[You can tell Jeremy dotes on Amelia, but honestly, she spoils him just as much.]

[Exactly! No matter what he says, she’s always on board. Mutual pampering at its best!]

Meanwhile, Vincent’s smaller fanbase couldn’t keep up. Their comments were drowned out instantly.

Miguel also spoke up politely, disagreeing with Vincent’s idea. “I think free grouping works better. I’ll team up with Gianna—it’s easier for me to look out for her.”

He glanced at Vincent. “Vincent, you probably want to join us too, right? The three of us together would be perfect.”

Miguel was clearly trying to craft an image of a gentle, caring older brother through the show.

But the audience wasn’t buying it. They roasted him mercilessly, calling him out as a fake.

His real sister was standing right there, yet he ignored her to play the doting brother for Gianna.

With that affectionate look, anyone watching might have mistaken him for Gianna’s fiancé.

What a twisted sense of morals—painful to watch.

Vincent felt the same frustration bubbling inside him. He wanted nothing more than to punch Miguel.

Who said he wanted to team with Gianna?

Could Miguel stop assuming everyone shared his ideas?

No wonder Marcelo always said his two younger brothers were hopeless.

That wasn’t just hopeless—it was like Miguel had completely lost his mind.

Now Vincent was stuck with Gianna whether he liked it or not.

To make things worse, Gianna blushed and said sweetly, “I’ll do whatever Miguel says.”
