Frank Parker publicly announced his severance from the Parker family, enraging Lady Parker. He declared his actions henceforth would have no affiliation with the family, shocking his mother who couldn't comprehend him abandoning his heir status for Joanna Lawrence. Meanwhile, Annie Lawrence gave an interview, claiming Frank Parker terminated her contract to protect Joanna and revealed she and another woman were hired as stand-ins because they resembled Joanna.

Maria continues to be associated with Frank Parker.

"Mr. Parker has employed numerous look-alikes for Joanna Lawrence, and Maria and I are merely two examples. I can affirm this is unequivocally true. However, I cannot ascertain whether Mr. Parker met with Joanna last night or if they are engaged in an affair."

"Furthermore, if the two had no prior arrangement, then their meeting would be quite a coincidence. How did they happen to be in Luxembourg last night? Additionally, I learned that Luxe Lounge has been operating for several years, and Mr. Parker is a stakeholder in the establishment. Yet, the staff informed me he had never visited before. Last night marked his inaugural visit."

"By chance, Joanna was also present last night."

"Consequently, it is challenging for us outsiders to determine if their rendezvous at Luxe Lounge was pre-arranged or purely coincidental."

Throughout the interview video featuring Annie Lawrence, each statement presented an appearance of objectivity while subtly suggesting underlying implications.

All her words seemed to insinuate a clandestine relationship between Frank Parker and Joanna Lawrence.

"So, do you also believe that their encounter at Luxe Lounge last night was more than mere happenstance?" a male reporter's voice inquired from the video.

In the recording, Annie drew her lips together in a smile, then shook her head. "I did not state that. I merely remarked that last night's events were somewhat coincidental. As for how individuals interpret these occurrences, that is beyond my purview to dictate."

"You mentioned that your contract termination with Parker Group was a consequence of Joanna Lawrence's involvement. Is this accurate?"

"It is true," Annie affirmed, raising her gaze to meet the camera. A look of grievance flickered in her eyes, soon turning red. Becoming emotional, she continued, "I had just finalized my contract signing when I was abruptly notified of its termination."

"Upon inquiry with an acquaintance within the company, the reason provided for the termination was that I had offended Joanna. Mr. Parker, it seems, favors her, and upon learning of my conflict with Joanna, he instructed the company to dismiss me as retribution on her behalf."

"From Mr. Parker's perspective, I am merely an inconsequential artist. Terminating my contract would serve the dual purpose of appeasing the woman he favors and satisfying his anger. Hence, it was a logical decision for him. I lack the influence Joanna possesses, nor do I have a powerful backing or a prosperous husband, nor the support of numerous devoted protectors. Therefore, I must accept my inability to contend with her. However, I believe it is essential for the public to witness her true character."

"Her true character?"

"Do you genuinely perceive Joanna Lawrence as being as innocent as she appears? Her demeanor is nothing more than an act. She is a woman of malice and cruelty, and after leveraging her success through Ashton Heath, she has committed numerous unscrupulous deeds."

"Her former boyfriend and she were childhood companions, and his parents treated her with exceptional kindness. However, after becoming involved with Ashton Heath, she ruthlessly discarded her childhood sweetheart. Not only that, but she even utilized Ashton's influence to precipitate the financial ruin of her ex-boyfriend's family."

"Her adoptive parents offered her immense affection, yet she caused her adoptive father's biological daughter to suffer a miscarriage due to her actions. Furthermore, she compelled her adoptive father's daughter to withdraw from the entertainment industry and even abandon Closia to escape her destructive influence."
