All too late for his love

Willow glanced over and saw Zayn giving her an icy glare, just as she had expected. His expression resembled that of a man betrayed and deeply humiliated by his wife.

She subtly mouthed the words to him, "You're insane!"

Zayn was enraged. He seemed on the verge of exploding.

"What? Willow is still the brand ambassador of Arena of Glory?"

Janet's disbelief was evident in her tone.

She shouted furiously, "What were you thinking? You've selected an influencer who stole from Willa and has such questionable ethics as your brand ambassador. Aren't you worried about becoming a laughingstock online?"

Janet's boldness before lan caused Eric's expression to cloud with displeasure. He was on the brink of confronting her when Duncan swiftly moved to Willow's side.

"Willow, you're not allowed to be the brand ambassador of Arena of Glory! Our agreement explicitly states that you must seek my approval for any job you take! What if you gain fame and then decide to terminate our agreement?

"I've invested a lot of money in you, Willow. I won't allow you to breach our agreement. Come back with me immediately! I need you right now, and you must return and fulfill your commitments to me!"

After Duncan finished speaking, he reached for Willow's arm. But before his hand could make contact, lan swiftly intervened, tossing him aside as if he weighed no more than a sandbag Duncan was always mindful of his image, especially around women. Humiliated by this public rebuke before the many attractive women in the hall, he quickly regained his footing and unleashed a string of curses at lan.

"Who do you think you are, brat? Do you even know who I am? You'd be terrified if you did!"

Eager to show his loyalty to lan, Tim slapped away Duncan's hand and countered, "How dare you raise your voice to the scion of the Nightingale family? Are you looking for trouble?"

The scion of the Nightingale family... Only one person in the world held the title- lan Nightingale, the sole. scion of Nightingale Corporation in Eldoria.

Janet hurriedly reapplied her lip gloss. She switched to her most charming and gentle look before fluttering her eyelashes at lan without pause.

Recalling her earlier rudeness/before the esteemed scion of the Nightingale family, she was filled with such regret that she nearly bit her tongue in half. She desperately hoped her current charm could undo the damage she had caused to her reputation.

The other female celebrities in the hall had all heard of lan but had never met him in person. They discreetly touched up their makeup, hoping to leave a memorable impression.

"Mr. Nightingale..."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Duncan was visibly shaken. He collapsed to the floor, trying to muster the words to make up for his earlier conduct.

However, lan paid him no attention. He reluctantly released Willow's hand before turning to Zayn, seated in the front row.

"Zayn, it's been a long time."

"Mr. Nightingale, good to see you," Zayn responded, though his focus remained on Willow.

Janet put away her compact mirror after perfecting her makeup. She lifted her chin at a poised angle and addressed lan with the most stunning stance and the softest voice she could muster.

"Mr. Nightingale, my earlier comments were sincerely meant to protect your interests.

"Willow has been entangled in several scandals, and her reputation is far from stellar. I'm worried she might tarnish the image of Arena of Glory! It would be a shame for such an outstanding game to be ruined by someone who's both a sugar baby and a thief.

"Mr. Nightingale, would you please reconsider the choice of Arena of ve Glory's brand ambassador?"
