Brielle, who was feeling down, left with her manager. Winter also departed with Jane and Suzy.

Despite the unexpected events of the evening, Winter was content as she had secured the spokesperson deal.

As the venue emptied, only a few remained-including Mateo, Henry, and Nancy from the Hoffman family. Watching the crowd slowly disperse, Mateo approached Charles with a hint of weariness. "Charlie, I fear today's events will reach your grandfather's ears. That young lady named Noelle, she..."
