Chapter 466:
The viewers’ insight cut straight to the heart of the matter.
Maggie had suppressed her fear of Aiden for so long that it finally erupted like a volcano, with Daniel serving as the unfortunate target of her emotional tsunami.
“Kenneth, your sister is absolutely fascinating,” Janice remarked, her eyes dancing with admiration as she watched Maggie’s unexpected display of spirit.
Kenneth’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “I have a feeling she would take quite a shine to you. There’s a striking similarity in your spirits.”
“Really?” Janice tilted her head, intrigue written across her features.
“You both have an extraordinary talent for turning the tables at the most pivotal moments.” The memory of the flying slipper hung unspoken between them.
A moment of surprise flickered across Janice’s face before dissolving into an amused smile as she recalled her slipper incident. “Well, what can I say? Some people are so thick-skinned they need a dramatic wake-up call before they grasp the concept of personal space.”
“Janice, given your kindred spirit with Maggie, our doors are always open to you. She would be thrilled to have your company.”
“That’s not necessary.” Aiden’s voice cut through the air as he settled beside Janice, his eyes boring into Kenneth with barely veiled warning. “Janice’s schedule is quite demanding. Your home isn’t exactly on her priority list.”
Kenneth’s pleasant expression never wavered, immune to Aiden’s attempted intimidation. “Aiden, I believe Janice is perfectly capable of managing her own social calendar. Or perhaps you’re channeling Daniel’s delusion that the world bends to your will?”
His gaze turned to Janice. “Janice doesn’t like men like that.”
The words landed like a perfectly aimed punch.
Aiden’s expression clouded over instantly. He hadn’t anticipated that beneath Kenneth’s bright smile and seemingly gentle demeanor lurked such a razor-sharp tongue.

“Janice, that’s not what I meant.”
“Oh? Do enlighten us then. What were you trying to convey?” Kenneth’s voice dripped honeyed venom, his radiant smile a perfect mask for his razor-sharp words.
Aiden’s brow furrowed deeply, finding himself outmaneuvered in this delicate dance of words. In the business world, he was invincible, but in matters of the heart, he was a novice.
“Oh my! Are these two powerhouses actually squaring off?”
“Now this is what I call prime-time drama! And poor Janice, caught in the crossfire. What a deliciously awkward position!”
“Why do I see that Aiden is like a clueless newbie in love?”
The viewers were practically feasting on the unfolding spectacle.
Here they were, barely minutes into filming the premiere episode of Love Lab, and already the sparks were flying in spectacular fashion.
But what would Janice do, caught between the two men?
“Kenneth, while your sister is undeniably delightful, I’m afraid I must decline the invitation,” Janice said.
A flicker of triumph danced in Aiden’s eyes. Could she be taking his side?
