Chapter 552
Chapter 552:
Daniel couldn’t help but pivot again, this time directing his attention toward Janice. “Look at her! She’s genuinely sorry. Can’t you find it in you to give her a chance? Everyone makes mistakes. If one slip-up could ruin someone forever, then we’d all be doomed, wouldn’t we?”
“I get why you’re angry,” Alissa said as she stepped forward, her tone carefully measured. “Delilah took what was rightfully yours for years. Your resentment makes sense. But look at her now—she’s already faced the consequences and truly regrets…”
Her actions. Refusing to give her a second chance would come across as cold, don’t you think?”
Janice arched an eyebrow, recognizing their ploy. They were trying to shove her into a moral corner, forcing her to relent. “Do you think you can waltz into someone else’s matters as if they’re your own?”
“Excuse me? What are you trying to say?”
“You’re sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong,” Janice retorted, a sharp laugh escaping her lips. “Let me put it this way—if I slapped you across the face right now and then apologized like I really meant it, would you just smile and say it’s fine? If you haven’t lived through the pain or injustice, you don’t get to play judge here. Keep your hollow opinions to yourself.”
Alissa’s eyes narrowed, showing a clear sign of her rising anger in response to Janice’s words. She was on the verge of snapping back, but Leonidas intervened just in time.
He gave her a look, his gaze cold and penetrating.
Alissa drew in a deep, careful breath, hoping to calm her rising anger. She turned to Janice, speaking in a calm and steady tone. “Then, how do you propose we handle this? Remember, Delilah is innocent now. Even if she wronged you before, we’ve moved past that. You’re not planning to beat her here, in front of everyone, are you?”
Janice’s lips twisted into a suspicious smile. “Beat her? That’s the last thing I’d want. Devin, you know, Love Lab aims to spread positivity and good vibes. Having someone with a controversial past as a guest might not be appropriate, don’t you think?”

Devin, who had been silent, was startled when Janice addressed him, and he had no choice but to respond, “You’re right. Inviting Delilah was a misstep on my part. I’ve decided to let the audience vote on her participation. It seems the fairest solution.”
Janice’s face grew tense as she glanced at Alissa, who was now wearing a self-satisfied grin.
It was obvious that Alissa had anticipated this moment and was ready for it, which made Devin quickly redirect the decision to the audience. Aiden sensed the tension and exchanged a cautious look with Janice. She subtly shook her head, a signal to hold back. Curious about Alissa’s plans to keep Delilah on the show, she decided to wait and watch their strategy unfold.
The results of the online vote soon confirmed the viewers’ decision.
Delilah remained on the show with 60% of the online vote in her favor. Although they had doubts about Delilah, the audience, drawn to drama, was clearly more intrigued by the growing tension between her and Janice.
“Thank you all for giving me this chance. I will show you my sincerity with my actions and will not disappoint,” Delilah said to the camera, her head lowered in what appeared to be a gesture of humility. Her eyes were filled with tears that pulled at the hearts of those watching.
