Itâs just a result.
What brings me joy is the journey.
Theyâre just deluding themselves.
â
Ariana, upon hearing this, smiled and comforted Sarah by placing an arm around her shoulder.
âDonât worry, the finale will be live.
They wouldnât dare do anythingâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, the door was abruptly pushed open, catching Ariana and Sarah off guard.
They jumped to their feet, their eyes cautiously fixated on the intruder.

The sight that greeted them was of a stunning beauty, accompanied by Jasper.
With the group of bodyguards behind them, it was obvious that they didnât come with good intentions.
âAre you Ariana Edwards?â the stunning woman asked in a frosty tone, fixing her gaze on Ariana.
Ariana was caught off guard.
She couldnât recall having ever crossed paths with this woman and wondered why she was looking at her with such hostility.
Sarah recognized the troublemaker immediately and quickly pulled Ariana behind her, whispering in her ear, âThis is Adrianâs fiancee, Jennifer Austin.
She must have heard the rumors and come to cause trouble for you.
You need to get out of here!â
As the realization of the dangerous situation set in, Arianaâs heart raced.
The false rumors had put her in an unfavorable position and she would have no chance to clear her name with Jennifer and her imposing entourage blocking the only exit of the lounge.
She felt trapped and uncertain of where she could escape to.
As Jennifer approached, Ariana found herself backing up until she hit the couch, with nowhere else to go.
Sarah, however, stepped forward, placing herself in front of Ariana in a protective stance.
âPlease, Miss Austin, donât do this,â Sarah implored.
With a condescending smirk, Jasper proclaimed, âWow, what a sight! Ariana, I warned you to be careful and avoid romancing any men.
But it seems that youâve made a grave mistake, and now his fiancee is here to confront you.
â
Jennifer stood towering over Ariana in her high-heeled shoes, exuding an intimidating aura.
It seemed like she was about to unleash her fury on Ariana.
However, to everyoneâs surprise, Jennifer suddenly burst into laughter and reached out to embrace Ariana.
âFinally, Iâve found you!â she exclaimed, her joy unmistakable.
Ariana was bewildered by the turn of events, struggling to understand what was happening.
Jasper was stunned, left out at the door, unable to grasp what had just happened.
He thought he was about to witness a scene of the fiancee punishing the mistress.
But Jennifer was quick to shut him down, her voice haughty as she ordered, âYou can leave.
I donât need you here.
â
As if on cue, seven burly bodyguards stepped forward, surrounding Jasper and forcibly escorting him out of the room.

With Jasper gone, Jenniferâs demeanor softened, her kind smile now directed toward Sarah.
âI need to speak with Ariana privately.
Would you mind giving us some space?â
Sarah hesitated and gazed at Ariana with concern.
Ariana believed that Jennifer had no intention of causing her harm, so she gave a nod to Sarah and said, âYou can go ahead.
You still have recording to do.
â
Sarah reluctantly made her way out and told Ariana, âIâll be leaving now.
Let me know if you need anything.
â
âSure,â replied Ariana.
Once the door was shut, Jennifer animatedly pulled Ariana over to take a seat and announced, âIâve come here to present you with a gift from someone.
