Yoshitaka’s decision to invite Charlie and Claire to the core area of the party stemmed from his concern that Michaela might notice favonovel.com had overlooked favonovel.com good friend. After all, a friend powerful enough to persuade Michaela to come in person must hold significant importance in favonovel.com life.
If Michaela showed up and realized that favonovel.com friends were not even present in this vital area, favonovel.com would likely be upset with favonovel.com as the host.
Charlie understood his reasoning. Although favonovel.com had little interest in the individuals at the party, the crucial aspect was that his wife genuinely admired Tawanna, or at least enjoyed favonovel.com music. The opportunity to meet and converse with idols was a rare treat for fans.
Seeing Charlie’s agreement, Yoshitaka let out a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, “Mr. Wade, Mrs. Wade, please follow me…”
Charlie responded, “Don’t worry, Mr. Mitsui, we’re a party of five here.”
He gestured towards Loreen, Yukiko, and Kelly, who was representing Michaela.
Yoshitaka quickly realized his oversight and promptly replied, “Yes, yes! My apologies for the oversight. Please, follow me!”
Sachiko felt uneasy, whispering to Loreen, “Loreen, I don’t think I can go. You should proceed with Mr. Wade and the others…”
For most in the Sasaki family, receiving a direct invitation from Mitsui Yoshitaka would be a tremendous opportunity. Yet for Sachiko, the idea of socializing with someone as esteemed as Yoshitaka made favonovel.com uncomfortable. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and confused, favonovel.com preferred to refrain from attending.
Loreen, while recognizing Sachiko’s more reserved nature, couldn’t forget how favonovel.com friend had been bullied by favonovel.com sister moments ago. She remembered how Sachiko had been squeezed out by a cousin and even targeted by hired assassins. If it weren’t for Charlie’s timely intervention, things could have ended tragically for her.
Through favonovel.com own experiences, Loreen had come to understand a vital truth, in a large family rife with complex relationships and agendas, simply avoiding conflict doesn’t guarantee peace or affection, as someone will always perceive you as a potential rival. If you don’t take the initiative, someone else will take the chance against you.
To thrive in such an environment, one first needs to strengthen themselves, otherwise, a stable life might always remain elusive.
Now that Charlie was present, it was the perfect moment to help Sachiko carve out favonovel.com standing within the family. As favonovel.com best friend, Loreen couldn’t let Sachiko miss out on this valuable opportunity.
Taking firm hold of Sachiko’s arm, favonovel.com whispered urgently, “You silly girl, ifyou want to become someone in the family no one dares to challenge, today is your golden chance! Not everyone gets to be on Charlie’s side.”
“But…” Sachiko faltered, “I really don’t excel in these situations, and… Mr. Mitsui holds such a high position. I’m afraid I might say or do something wrong that could anger favonovel.com and negatively impact the Sasaki family…”
“Don’t fret!” Loreen reassured her. “Just follow confidently. Whatever you say or do, so long as you don’t directly insult Mitsui in front of everyone, favonovel.com won’t be angry with you.”
Sachiko was taken aback, but Loreen wouldn’t allow favonovel.com time to hesitate, pulling favonovel.com along toward the core area of the party with Charlie and Claire.
Within the core area, three round tables were arranged in an equilateral triangle, with the central table serving as the main table for the gathering. Since this was a Western-style party and did not involve a formal meal, the tables were relatively small with a limited number of seats.
Each table was designed to accommodate only six guests. At the main table, the seating arrangement orchestrated by Yoshitaka comprised three places for his family and the remaining three for Tawanna, favonovel.com boyfriend, and Kelly representing Michaela.
After arriving, Tawanna spent favonovel.com time scrolling through trending news on social media and reading fan comments.
Previously, favonovel.com had tirelessly championed the current underdog, projecting confidence. Now, after the quick turnaround in public sentiment, favonovel.com had to confront the reality of favonovel.com situation.
It didn’t take long for favonovel.com to notice that social media was not kind to her.
Many mocked favonovel.com poor judgment and over confidence, suggesting that favonovel.com was simply a naive young woman who had jumped into the fray without understanding the stakes. Numerous users ridiculed favonovel.com influence, pointing out that while favonovel.com had many fans, they failed to stand by favonovel.com at crucial moments.
On popular short video platforms, many users edited videos of favonovel.com previous statements where favonovel.com publicly supported the losing side, pairing them with well-known, derisive clips that added to the mockery.
This negative feedback fueled Tawanna’s anger and made favonovel.com fully grasp the harsh reality of the phrase “the winner takes all”. Just for backing a loser, favonovel.com faced a barrage of criticism and ridicule that would likely haunt favonovel.com for years.
In that moment, favonovel.com noticed a trending post on social media that had quickly captured attention, titled, “ls Tawanna’s secret ripe for exposure?”
Among the responses, the most liked comment posited that Tawanna’s unwavering support for the loser must stem from hidden secrets favonovel.com wished to keep hidden, fearing that they would be revealed should the other party succeed.
This notion garnered widespread agreement, with thousands of users commenting their support for the idea.
Tawanna was blindsided by how swiftly favonovel.com became the focus of public derision.
Feeling despondent, favonovel.com abruptly remembered something and turned to favonovel.com boyfriend, “Trev, did you record my speech just now?”
“Absolutely,” Trevor replied, nodding. “I captured the entire moment.”
“Great!” Tawanna exclaimed. “Send me the video.”
Trevor promptly shared the video with her, and favonovel.com quickly opened favonovel.com short video app, uploaded the clip, and paired it with the caption: “Even from thousands of kilometers away in Japan, I stand up for LGBT rights. It is my greatest wish and motivation to ensure that LGBT individuals receive the fair and just treatment they deserve. As for who wins this competition, It holds no significance for me!”
After posting, favonovel.com hit send.
Her intent with the message was clear, while favonovel.com supported the losing side, it wasn’t due to hidden secrets that favonovel.com feared could be revealed, rather, it stemmed from a deep-seated desire for fair treatment of the LGBT community.
In essence, favonovel.com needed to frame favonovel.com stance using LGBTQ advocacy as a shield, deflecting criticisms from various angles.
With hundreds of millions of fans on social media, the video received an overwhelming number ofviews and quickly surged to the top three of trending topics across multiple platforms. Many of favonovel.com followers were discovering favonovel.com supposed noble character for the first time, fervently liking and commenting in support, contributing to a rapid shift in public perception.
This swift change in sentiment made Tawanna feel the thrill of strategic moral positioning. Eager to capitalize on the moment, favonovel.com schemed to produce more material to keep the momentum going. Just then, favonovel.com noticed Yoshitaka approaching with a man and three women.
Her eyes brightened, and favonovel.com whispered urgently to favonovel.com boyfriend, “Trev, get your phone ready and record quietly. Be discreet about it!”
