Ariana was also taken aback by Shawnâs presence.
She inquired, âMr.
Williams, what brings you here?â
Wearing a serious expression, Shawn replied, âYour injury made the news, and Mr.
Fredrick sent me to see you.
â
The room fell into an uneasy silence despite Shawnâs composure.
Ariana had just learned that her injury had made headlines.
She quickly took her phone to check.
As expected, she found a flood of messages, especially in the group chat.
Sonia and Sarah had sent numerous messages, and Ariana responded briefly to them before diving into the news.
Among the top trends was a headline: âAgent Injured in Internal Conflict.
â
A picture of Tom rushing her to the hospital was attached to it, and the comment section was filled with comments from onlookers.
âArianaâs team never ceases to make a drama.
Theyâre giving us entertainment even before the show airs,â one comment read.
âHer injury looks pretty serious.
Is she okay?â
âiihatâs the story? Share the details so we can join in the fun.
â
Ariana was perturbed by the publicâs interest.
She realized that her predicament had garnered widespread attention and was seen as an internal issue within her team.

Shawn began investigating the incident.
Tom and the others, unaware of Shawnâs intention, recounted the incident to him.
Seeing Carl about to argue, they hastened to mention, âThere are security cameras in the training room.
Weâll get to the bottom of this once we review the footage.
â
Then Carlâs shoulders dropped.
Shawn didnât seem interested in checking the surveillance footage.
Instead, he stated, âIâve already looked into this matter before coming here.
Itâs negatively impacting our programâs reputation, Carl.
You need to withdraw from the competition.
â
âWhat?! Why? What are you saying?â Carl exclaimed, his face turning red with anger.
âBecause youâve harmed people,â Shawn replied with a cold tone.
Carl was furious but didnât push further.
This show was sponsored by BRD Group, and Shawn represented Holden, leaving Carl with no option but to quit.
Suppressing his urge to challenge Shawn, Carl silently cursed him.
Then he slammed the door and left.
