Nathan Jacobs quickly called Holly Houston and brought up using their engagement to divert the audience’s attention.
"Brother Nathan, I’m not in the mood to discuss this right now."
This was Holly Houston’s reply.
It sounded polite, but in reality, it was also a rejection of Nathan Jacobs.
Just think, once the last two episodes of "Competition Dance" air, her status and career will undergo a qualitative leap.
In the future, she might even rely on this dual relationship to marry into the opulent circles of Esteria, just like Nina Quinn.
Given these limitless possibilities, Holly Houston naturally wasn’t keen on involving herself with Nathan Jacobs.
So, she had actually already planned to sever ties with Nathan Jacobs completely, just waiting for an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Nathan Jacobs’s tone changed, becoming somewhat aggressive: "Are you not in the mood to get engaged to me, or do you just not want to get engaged to me at all?"
After the betrayal by Nina Quinn, Nathan Jacobs understood better than anyone what Holly Houston’s attitude signified.
"Since you’re asking so directly, Brother Nathan, I can only be frank. I don’t want to focus on relationships right now; I want to prioritize my career."
"Prioritize your career? Then why, when you crawled into my bed, didn’t you bother to tell me in advance about your strong career focus?"
Holly Houston probably hadn’t expected Nathan Jacobs to speak so harshly, and she was at a loss for words for a moment before angrily retorting, "We were drunk at the time; we only had relations because of that unclear situation."
"It’s not like I drugged you; you didn’t lose consciousness at all. What unclear situation? In the end, didn’t it all happen with your tacit consent?"
"Alright then, I won’t waste words with you. Either get engaged to me, or wait for me to expose how you maliciously edited videos of July Quinn. I’ve backed up those videos, after all."
"Nathan Jacobs, are you even human?"
Holly Houston was simply incredulous.
To think that the man who whispered sweet nothings with her every day had secretly backed up videos that could destroy her—it was horrifying!
Getting engaged to someone like that—did she not think her life was long enough?
But faced with Holly Houston’s accusations, Nathan Jacobs remained indifferent.
"Whether I’m human or not, I don’t really know. But if I release those pieces of evidence, you’ll definitely not be seen as human. July Quinn’s crazed fans would tear you apart alive!"
Holly Houston felt a chill at her scalp.
Besides Nathan Jacobs’s monstrous actions, it was because she had done research on July Quinn’s fans before inviting her.
As the central figure of GIRLS, CC’s fans were definitely one of the most engaged fan groups in the scene.
Moreover, they were more organized and disciplined than fans of other groups.
When any unfavorable comments or evidence appeared against July Quinn, these people, besides managing public opinion in July Quinn’s super topics, would definitely not engage in confrontation with others, for fear of tarnishing her image.
But as soon as any favorable evidence for July Quinn surfaced, these people could turn the world upside down. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel-fire.net
There were countless instances where they joined forces to drive rival fandoms out of the circle, forcing others to get plastic surgery and live under aliases.
This was the reason she didn’t hesitate to pay a hacker who threatened her back then.
As long as money could solve a problem, it wasn’t a problem.
The most terrifying creatures were July Quinn’s fans, who couldn’t be swayed by money at all...
Holly Houston was lost in thoughts of the videos being exposed, and the terrifying scenario of being cyberbullied by July Quinn’s fans until she needed plastic surgery to leave her home.
Meanwhile, Nathan Jacobs had no patience to wait any longer and directly laid down the ultimatum.
"I’ve said all I need to say. You have one day to consider. If you don’t give me the answer I want in a day, I’ll release the videos directly."
After speaking, he simply hung up the phone.
"Nathan Jacobs! How can you be so ruthless?"
Holly Houston regretted it.
Regretted getting involved with such a jackal as Nathan Jacobs!
Her fury boiled over, and she smashed everything in front of her.
But ultimately, she feared the consequence of being crazily retaliated against by July Quinn’s fans and could only agree to Nathan Jacobs’s "request" for engagement.
Two days later, after the Houston Family presumably spent a fortune on the Gibbons Family, the Gibbons Family, along with the Jacobs Family and the Houston Family, released a statement to inform the public that Holly Houston had already broken up with Gregory Gibbons and was engaged to Nathan Jacobs.
Regarding the online videos of Holly Houston and Nathan Jacobs, these were private matters between the engaged couple. Anyone who continued to spread the videos would face legal action from the Houston Family and the Jacobs Family to defend their legal rights...
