The mention of Finn's name plunged Wyneth into silence once again. Let us not even discuss the improbability of Finn agreeing to appear; the mere sight of her might send him into a rage. Just the thought made Wyneth shudder. She muttered, "Perhaps it's better if he doesn't come."Lauren thought she had misheard. "What?" After collecting herself, she asked tentatively, "Are you talking about Finn? W-Why not?"In response to Lauren's cautious query, Wyneth's expression remained unfazed. "I just think that he won't come."Disheartened, Lauren drooped. "Yeah, you're right. He's worked incredibly hard to get where he is today, especially in his creative work. He wouldn't have time for variety shows like ours. Besides, our show is a small one. Even Giada didn't show us any respect."Wyneth remained silent.Everyone else went out and gathered together, the show on a temporary hiatus due to the sudden turn of events. They all sat down to eat after freshening up. Henry and Derek did not sh

When Anna realized the Wyneth that was participating in the variety show was Finn's sister and not just someone sharing the name, she hesitated. 'How am I going to tell Finn about this? Knowing his temperament, he'd rush to find his sister, but...' After mulling over it, Anna decided to tell Finn straight away. Given his protective nature toward his sister, he would seek her out sooner or later even if Anna kept this to herself.On hearing the news, Finn thought he must have misheard. "What? A variety show? Wyneth?" Finn stared at Anna. "That can't be. Doesn't one have to be in the entertainment industry to appear in a variety show?""Right."Finn stared blankly for a long while, finally comprehending. "Wyneth is in the entertainment industry?"Anna put a hand on his shoulder. "Take a deep breath. Calm down.""Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down? Why would she want to dive into this pit of vipers that's the entertainment industry?" Despite Anna's effort to restrain him, she

Finn instantly dropped his tantrum, walking forward nonchalantly. Suddenly, the pair of important shoes did not seem so important anymore.Anna was speechless. 'He really has a classic sister complex.'The director of the show guided them further into the place. The further they went, the darker Finn's expression became. 'What on earth is this place? It's filthy everywhere and reeks of all sorts of peculiar smells.'Anna did not need to look back to know Finn's obsession for cleanliness was kicking in, but she held her tongue. After all, none of this held a candle to the significance of his sister. They soon ventured into the farm, a place considerably different from the outside. It was simple and modest, but the cleanliness was evident, lifting Finn's mood a tad. He kept his mask on, hiding his facial expressions but his aura was impossible to miss.Once again, Finn scanned the surroundings but found no sign of Wyneth, his impatience growing. 'Where the hell did that girl run off

Finn made numerous heartfelt apologies to Wyneth, who stood unmoving. His demeanor was comparable to a misbehaving dog pleading for his master's forgiveness. "I'm sorry, Wyneth. I messed up. Please, forgive me."Wyneth was not upset. But if she did not feign indignation, her elder brother would not back off. A throbbing headache began forming at the base of her skull. "Okay, you're forgiven. Now please, shut up.""Right away!" Instantaneously, Finn's pitiful look evaporated, and he gently tugged at her arm. "Let's take this outside."Only then did she recall that her fastidious brother had been standing beside her, apologizing incessantly. "Your obsession with cleanliness is cured?"A dark scowl marred Finn's face. "No. That's why I'm asking you to step out.""Quite an achievement," Wyneth said, noting that Finn had managed to stand by her side, enduring the grime and chatter.As Wyneth took the lead to move outside, Finn trailed behind, immediately shedding his outer coat once t

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Giada and Natalie had retreated to a nearby hotel for some respite after their departure. The nearly hour-long bumpy car ride had left Giada pale and seething. "I swear, I felt every bump," she fumed. "If they don't beg me to come back within two hours, I won't."But the evening arrived, and there was no word from the show's team. Giada did not seem to mind; she was comfortably lounging, engrossed in texting her boyfriend, recounting the day's events.Natalie, on the other hand, was growing increasingly worried as time wore on, her brow creased in anxiety. "Why haven't we heard anything yet?"Hearing this, Giada tutted dismissively, "Natalie, what are you so worried about? If they haven't contacted us by now, it means they haven't figured out what to say to make us return."Despite Giada's reassurances, Natalie could not shake off a sense of unease."If you're really fed up, you should call the director and tell him we want out of the contract
