Chapter 1183:
Yolanda’s glare burned into her, fists coiled so tightly her nails dug into her palms.
If she refused to apologize, the Dawson Group would suffer, and Brendon would lay the blame on her shoulders.
After a long internal struggle, Yolanda bit her lip and lowered her head. “Fine! For Brendon’s sake, I’ll hold a press conference and apologize to you publicly!”
With no escape, she could only cling harder to Brendon. Her attachment deepened, her resolve to keep him unshakable. She longed not only for his wealth and position but also for his heart and loyalty.
Yolanda convinced herself that Christina despised him only because she wasn’t the one he loved.
Only the woman he cherished could have his devotion. And Yolanda believed she was that woman—Brendon had already given her his heart.
To her, he was no discard, but a treasure beyond measure.
In her mind, Christina’s words were nothing but jealousy—envy that Brendon’s love belonged to her, Yolanda. That was the reason Christina dared to insult him before the world.
Unable to win him, Christina had chosen to belittle him, which Yolanda saw as shameless.
During the livestream, some of Yolanda’s fans, faced with undeniable proof, turned away.
They left her fandom and filled her page with accusations. Yet others clung to denial, still blindly lashing out at Christina. “Christina’s being too cruel! Yolanda is already pitiful, yet Christina still crushes her—how disgusting!”
“Yolanda only admitted it because of her love for her husband! She never plagiarized—she was forced into it!”
“Like idol, like fans. The evidence is right there and Yolanda confessed herself, yet you still defend her? That’s nothing but blind foolishness!”

The livestream had turned into a full-blown shouting match again, with both sides going at it like cats and dogs.
Meanwhile, Yolanda was officially disqualified, which bumped the original third- and fourth-place contestants up a spot.
The contestant who had come in fourth had already given up hope, but now suddenly made it into the top three, feeling as if they had just won the lottery.
As the updated rankings flashed on the screen, Christina spotted Yolanda trying to sneak out and immediately stepped in to block her path.
“I already gave you what you wanted. What more do you want now?” Yolanda snapped, eyes blazing with irritation.
“You haven’t paid up yet,” Christina said coolly, then turned slightly toward the audience. “Mr. Dawson, time to settle your wife’s tab.”
Brendon’s face twisted with anger. He had assumed she’d at least wait until they were off-camera to bring this up—but no. She had to do it right here, right now, before the broadcast had even ended.
“So money-greedy… couldn’t even wait a second,” Katie muttered under her breath, fuming.
