Louisa blinked in surprise, expecting the other party to demand cash or resources. It was a shock when all they asked for was an apology.
"Alright, I agree."
Backstage, Mia approached Avery, hoping to invite him to her live-stream.
Avery promised to consider it.
After Mia left, Aurelia gave her brother a pat on the shoulder. "Avery," she advised, "always inform Nydia about your plans. If she approves, then you can proceed with peace of mind."
"Oh," Avery nodded.
Arnold's face held a hint of a knowing smile. What Aurelia had said was exactly what he had been thinking. The entertainment industry was a complex beast, and even a visit to a popular live-stream could potentially ignite unnecessary scandals. As a newcomer, it was best to keep your nose clean.
Aurelia was sweet and innocent, but she was no fool. Quite the contrary, her thought process was meticulous. She was the type of woman who could stand beside you and fight, perfect to be your support.
Before long, Louisa arrived with Evan.
Evan did not want to apologize at all, but fearing abandonment by Louisa, he had no choice.
Once inside the green room, he muttered a disgruntled "Sorry."
Aurelia scoffed, "I only agreed to remove the video out of respect for Ms. Louisa. If this is your attitude of an apology, then you can leave."
Evan glowered at her with clenched teeth.
Louisa reprimanded him, "Apologize properly!"
Immediately, Evan backed down, pouting as he said, "I'm sorry," word for word.
Aurelia drafted a written apology for him to sign.
Once he had written something satisfactory, she deleted the video from her phone and cloud storage in front of Louisa.
"Out of respect for Miss Louisa, we'll consider the matter closed."
Arnold draped his arm around Avery, "This is my brother too. I have his back. Anyone who messes with him, they can forget about a future in showbiz."
The trio exited the room, their presence as strong as ever, leaving Evan fuming.
