Meanwhile, when Sawyer rushed to Capital TV, he spotted a flustered person standing at the entrance of the television station.
Upon seeing Sawyer, the man exclaimed, "Thank God, you're finally here, Chad Lopez has been waiting for you for ages."
Sawyer glanced inside and asked, "Where's Chad?"
"The station's management is giving him a tour. Let's go in quickly... they're coming out."
Following the man's pointing finger, Sawyer saw Chad being escorted out by the station's directors.
Though Sawyer often acted cocky in front of outsiders, he didn't dare to be so in front of his uncles.
He instantly put on a fawning smile and went up to greet Chad.
Chad looked at him with a blank expression and sneered, "I thought you wouldn't even show up."
"Chad, don't mock me. I rushed over as soon as I received Bernie's call..." Sawyer carefully took Chad's arm and led him aside, then said, "Chad, don't tell my dad I'm at the Capital, if he finds out, he'll beat me again."
Chad pulled his arm back and said coldly, "Are you still scared that he’ll beat you?"
Sawyer was almost in tears, "Chad..."
Chad said, "I arrange a job for you in the company, and you're always slacking. This time is even worse, you ran away in the middle of a project meeting, causing the whole department to stop working because of you."
"What?" Sawyer scratched his head, "Didn't I tell them to handle it themselves? I had important things to attend to..."
"What important things?" Chad's face darkened.
Sawyer quickly said, "Isn't my aunt's matter important?"
Chad was taken aback, his deep gazes immediately landed on him, "What do you mean?"
Sawyer quickly explained what happened.
But he added, "Actually, you can't blame the girl entirely, I think there could be a misunderstanding."
Chad's face was full of gloom, it was so thick that it seemed to overflow.
Sawyer was a bit scared.
His aunt had been missing for many years, but his family had never given up looking for her.
Now Mr. Reed was getting too close with another girl.
Sawyer regretted speaking out, he actually liked Eileen, so he quickly explained, "It's really not her fault, and I have an indirect way, Chad, do you think, if I pursue Eileen first, Mr. Reed won't have a chance..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Chad's icy gaze.
Sawyer was startled and immediately shut up.
"Eileen?" At this moment, one of the station's directors exclaimed, "The temporary dance partner brought by EchoWave Media Group? Eileen is going to dance on our show? She's already preparing? With her reputation, she's going to be on our show?"
Before Sawyer could react, Chad beside him had already walked past him and strode towards the people of the television station.
Sawyer slapped his forehead, thinking that things were going to turn bad.

The host on stage was having a hard time introducing.
Eileen stood in the waiting area, looking at the restless Colin next to her and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Colin couldn't calm down and kept moving on the spot, "I'm nervous."
Eileen glanced at the audience below the stage, the three judges, six senior artists, and half of the studio audience.
