CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 105: THE WEALTHY CLAN IS LIKE THE SEA! HOLLY CROWE’S HUMBLE PLEA FOR LOVE?

The surprise live broadcast in the morning was not included in the contract Holly signed.

She looked at the trending topic on her phone, her brows tightly furrowed.

Holly directly sent a WeChat message to the production team, demanding a reasonable explanation.

A few minutes later, the producer and director came to apologize.

"Teacher Holly, we really didn’t know President Sinclair returned last night. If we had known earlier, we definitely wouldn’t have scheduled the morning live broadcast..."

As they spoke, they kept looking for Blake Sinclair’s presence.

Holly sat on the sofa, listening to their flimsy explanation, a cold smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

It was indeed about capital.

Ultimately, the production team’s humility in apologizing wasn’t because they realized their mistake but because they feared Blake Sinclair’s wrath.

The production team proposed several solutions, but their eyes consistently drifted to Blake Sinclair, who sat beside Holly.

It seemed, in their eyes, that only gaining Blake Sinclair’s consent and forgiveness mattered, and Holly’s thoughts were insignificant.

However, much to their surprise, from the moment they entered the room, Blake Sinclair acted as if he hadn’t seen them at all.

From start to finish, he was in the open kitchen, toasting bread and frying eggs. Several times, the producer and director wanted to greet him but found no opportunity.

Finally, when they saw him coming over, the two were about to stand up, but his gaze simply glanced over them, and he sat directly next to Holly.

"The bread is ready, eat it while it’s hot."

Holly understood the implication in his words and stood up to go have breakfast.

As soon as she left, Blake Sinclair’s demeanor instantly changed, as if the gentleness earlier was just an illusion.

Even though he was still wearing his pajamas, it gave an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The producer first wiped some cold sweat, cautiously speaking, "President Sinclair, how would you like to resolve this? We are very cooperative and will definitely meet your requirements..."

Blake Sinclair glanced at Holly, who was eating, and after seeing her obediently finishing the bread on her plate, he smiled contentedly.

The producer saw a smile on his lips and thought there was a turnaround, but in the next second, Blake Sinclair’s expression suddenly turned cold as he said, "In our home, my wife makes the decisions."

Producer: "...."

Director: "...."

One sentence left them utterly stunned.

Holly didn’t know what Blake Sinclair said to the production team. Before they left, they apologized to her again, with more sincerity than the previous night, and their attitude was noticeably more respectful.

Holly looked at Blake Sinclair with curiosity, "What did you say to them? Why did their attitude change so much?"

Blake Sinclair came forward and tousled her hair, "Nothing much, just explained to them the consequences of bullying my wife."

Sure enough, before the recording of the program began, the "Success" production team posted on Weibo, first apologizing to Holly for the previous night, then admitting the mistake of the surprise live broadcast in the morning, and finally promising to donate one-third of the proceeds to Chinese ceramic art research once the program aired.

This move directly pushed the popularity of the "Success" program up another notch, with all trending topics on Weibo related to it.

With makeup done and recording started, this time, after consulting with all guests, the production team decided to only activate the live broadcast during normal recording, and added many formal ceramic art segments, never daring to pull the previous stunts again.

And after the morning’s incident, Blake Sinclair now had a legitimate reason to accompany Holly to the set, becoming her little assistant.

Occasionally, during the live broadcast breaks, the camera would catch Blake Sinclair not far behind Holly, holding a small fan in one hand and a water cup in the other.

Initially, the staff were anxious when Blake Sinclair appeared, fearing that displeasing President Sinclair could lead to industry blacklisting.

But they soon discovered that Blake Sinclair’s gaze was always fixed on Holly, as if in his eyes only Holly existed, and everyone else was just part of the backdrop.

More importantly, Blake Sinclair’s presence drastically improved treatment for the entire production team.

In the hottest month of August, he thoughtfully bought everyone cold drinks, arranged for upright air conditioning, and even had customized lunches delivered.

From the director and cameramen to the guest staff, everyone on the production team was grateful, almost ready to put Holly on a pedestal, calling her "Holly" or "Teacher Holly" with genuine affection.

People in the live broadcast room, even through the screen, could feel the shift in everyone’s attitude towards Holly:

[It feels great to have someone backing you up, heart warms.]

[Blake Sinclair is so good to Holly. It turns out true love can exist in wealthy families. I won’t read those tragic wealthy family novels on Qimao anymore! I want to read sweet ones!]

[Sister upstairs, do you also read on Qimao! I recommend a sweet novel called "Ten Years of Secret Love, Mr. Sinclair Can’t Hide It Anymore"! I vote and reward this book every day.]

[It’s so nice, after being a workhorse for so long, I just want to see this sweet love.]

[Haha, I can only say you guys are too naive. Go check it out on Weibo; it’s all capital acting for you, and only you people take it seriously.]

When the production team saw this comment, a video posted by an anonymous account suddenly topped the topic in the "Success" group on Weibo.

The title was #Wealth as Deep as the Sea! Holly Begs for Love While Blake Sinclair Remains Aloof#

The video lasted about thirty seconds and seemed to have been secretly recorded during a break in the program recording.

In the video, Holly was holding Blake Sinclair’s hand, seemingly pleading for something, but Blake Sinclair remained stern. He took a few steps forward, and Holly ran up to him, shaking her head desperately.

In the last few seconds of the video, Holly sat alone on a chair, drinking water from her thermos, while everyone around her drank milk tea, looking very lonely.

The footage was shot from the second floor at an angle, at a distance, but clearly showed Holly’s pitiful and humble appearance.

Quickly, this video was forwarded to the "Banquet Holly CP" super topic.

[Where are those who say they love the real couple’s relationship now? Realized you’ve been deceived, right! It was all played for you to see!]

[Holly is so pitiful. Marrying into a wealthy family and not even allowed a cup of milk tea, she can only drink water from her thermos.]

[That’s why they say wealth is as deep as the sea, Holly seems quite humble.]

Although the super topic host quickly deleted this post, some fans were still influenced and led astray.

[No way, even real couples can fall apart? I poured my genuine emotions into this CP.]

[Haha, if I ship any more CPs, I’ll be a dog!]

[Let’s wait for an explanation, maybe it’s a misunderstanding?]

The video had already gone viral across Weibo Square, seemingly bought a trending spot, with the hashtag #HollyBegForLove# climbing to the top three in entertainment rankings.

Upon seeing this secretly recorded video, the production team immediately contacted Holly and Blake Sinclair.

After the morning live broadcast incident and a morning of filming, everyone present understood Holly’s position in Blake Sinclair’s heart, fearing mishandling of this issue could thoroughly offend this big shot.

After half an hour of an emergency meeting, the official Weibo of "Success" quickly released a behind-the-scenes video, recording the complete process from another angle.
