Javier had a certain charm about him, especially when he dressed up formally. With a suit tailored to his frame, he easily fit the image of a handsome young man on the brink of proposing, his nerves barely concealed.

"One shouldn't judge a book by its cover, indeed," Danielle remarked, observing him with a skeptic's eye. "Looking at him, one might actually believe his moral values align perfectly with his well-groomed. exterior." She scoffed lightly. "So, he's here to propose now? Has he suddenly turned over a new leaf, or is he merely pursuing what he consider's true love?"

Her laughter hinted at her disbelief, making it clear that she was not one to be easily duped.

"The idea that a gambler can simply quit his vices and a man's word can always be trusted are nothing more than lies. This guy has both vices, so it's evident that this entire scenario is a charade, Danielle analyzed coldly. "He's attempting to deceive Scarlett." Agreed, let's observe his next move...

As they settled into their seats, the crowd around them was abuzz with anticipation, ready to witness the unfolding drama.

Christopher and Rosalie, who stood nearby, were equally stirred by the situation.

I knew it! This guy has racked up another gambling debt, this time a staggering fifty million. And he's already received threats from the creditor.

As Christopher and Rosalie watched Javier on stage, sporting a shy smile while modestly accepting congratulations from those around him, the irony of the situation was not lost on them.

Once they are married, he would gain access to Scarlett's substantial earnings from her hardworking career, likely viewing her wealth as a solution to his financial disasters.

You've got some nerve, really. The sheer audacity to think that someone you've deceived would marry you and settle your debut

The Quirk siblings shared this sentiment, finding Javier's scheme utterly delusional.

Finding a spot in the audience, they sat down to enjoy the show, their expressions a mix of amusement and disbelief.

"Really, there's a live stream?" Danielle suddenly remarked, her eyes sharp. "You could have given a heads up. You two, be careful with what you say," she cautioned them quietly. It was then that Isabella noticed not just the professional camera crew but also several individuals among the helpers holding up their mobile phones, likely streaming the event live.

If he gets rejected, it would be in front of the entire internet. he overly confident, or does he intend to exploit Scarlett's gentle nature by morally manipulating her into accepting? Both Christopher and Rosalie leaned toward the latter, considering the possibility of moral entrapment to be more likely.

Upon noticing the live stream, Taylor and Riley sent their crew to figure out what was going on.

The group that gathered was a rapper group, there to cheer on Javier.

The production team ultimately decided to allow the live streaming, considering it as a potential warm-up for their next episode. Officially, live streaming wasn't prohibited, and since it was already happening, it seemed impractical to shut it down now. Isabella pulled out her phone to find the live broadcast, realizing that viewing it would provide a clearer picture of the stage proceedings, which were difficult to hear from their position in the back of the audience.

Initially, the live stream, operated by a friend of Javier's from the rap scene, had few viewers. But as word spread that this was the set of My Acting Skill and that Scarlett was the target of the proposal, the stream's popularity surged. Everyone rushed in to see what the commotion was about.

"The flowers here are all Scarlett's favorites; my buddy really put his heart into this. Javier truly loves Scarlett. He even prepared a surprise for her during the proposal. I've never seen him put so much effort into anything before. He's genuinely determined to make a life with her, the rapper hosting the stream explained to the viewers, answering their flurry of questions about the couple's status.

The audience commented: Didn't they break up? When did they get back together? They're even getting married

now?

"Ah, breaking up doesn't necessarily mean the end of love. Besides, Mdm. Pearson has grown quite fond of Scarlett now," the rapper added, suggesting that any past issues were primarily due to the nitpicky nature of Freya.

Upon hearing this, Isabella took a moment to reflect on the information, scoffing internally.

Ah, so you're also a gambling addict. No wonder you're spewing nothing but lies and shamelessness.

Christopher and Rosalie, also tuned into the live stream, felt a mix of disgust and amusement watching the man act as if he was doing his best friend a favor in securing his future wife.

"More importantly, Javier has already secured the support of his future in-laws. Right now, Scarlett's mother and uncle are keeping this a secret from her. Everyone is eagerly anticipating a romantic proposal," the rapper continued, setting the stage for what he hoped would be a joyful event. After such a persuasive speech, comments quickly flooded in, wishing the young couple well.

"Those two actually agreed? I remember when Scarlett and Javier were dating, they both seemed quite displeased," Danielle voiced her confusion.

Isabella found it strange as well.

Initially, they were reluctant because they feared that once Scarlett started dating, she would get married and escape their control. No longer would she be their financial resource. But now....

Christopher and Rosalie were curiously listening when they heard someone shout, "Quiet down, she's coming!

The scene instantly fell silent. The overhead lights dimmed, leaving only the soft glow of candlelight flickering across the path. 17.04 Mon, Oct 7

Chapter 156 A Liar And An Addict

A slow melody began to play, and Javier started to sing a love song.

Finished

Despite his evident singing talent, to Isabella and the others, his performance seemed incredibly insincere.

Suddenly, a figure stepped onto the candlelit path, appearing hesitant at first but gently coaxed to continue by the crowd.

At the end of the candlelight's reach, a figure knelt on one knee.

As the lights came back on and the crowd erupted into cheers, Isabella watched as Sienna and Bartholomeo Constantine led Scarlett toward the stage while Freya observed quietly from the other side.

The live stream provided a closer view, revealing a naturally beautiful woman with an expression that was unnervingly stiff and pale, betraying her distress.

Javier, seemingly oblivious or uncaring of her discomfort, began his plea. "Lettie, I was wrong, I truly was. You know how much I love you. I can't live without you I upset you because of my rashness, but I swear from now on. I'll do whatever you ask of me. I've sorted out all my issues. Please, give me another chance," he implored with apparent sincerity.

After finishing his heartfelt plea, Javier opened a ring box and took out a ring.

"Scarlett, please marry me," he begged. "I know you've always longed for a home, and I want to be the one to give that to you. We'll have children and a warm and loving family. I swear, this time, I won't let you down."

To outsiders, his words might have seemed to address a typical family discord. However, Scarlett, Isabella, and the Quirk siblings knew he was referring to his gambling addiction.

While his eyes showed sincerity and tears glistened on his face, Isabella inwardly criticized, Darn it, appearances can indeed be deceiving. With acting skills like that, it's a shame you're not on the big screen. Just like Danielle said, men are full of lies. Javier's not just a simple liar; he's a vampire wanting to suck every drop of Scarlett's

blood!
