sighs heavily Look, Jay, it's like this. Our family's business is all about arranged marriages. It's what keeps us afloat, pays for everything.

Jack

Jack
8/5/2024

Jack
8/5/2024
smirks, typing furiously on his phone Then we'll threaten legal action. Trust me, Jay, I've dealt with these people before. They won't stand a chance against us.
Jayden
8/5/2024

rushes to his car, dialing the lawyer's number as he drives Hey, Bob. It's Jack. Listen, we need to talk. I need you to find a way to break off the arranged marriage contract between our families.
Jayden

puts on a brave face, walking over to Ava So, Ava, how's the wedding planning going?
Jack
8/5/2024
Ava: looks up from her phone, a hint of sadness in her eyes It's...going. Just trying to make the best out of a bad situation, you know?
Jayden

Jayden

Jack

slams his fist on the table, frustrated Dammit, no! The asshole wants more money to terminate the contract!
Jayden

stares at Jack, stunned That's a fucking rip-off! Can we actually afford that, Jack?
Jack

Jack

leans in even closer, intrigued The press? How do you mean, Jay?
Jayden
8/5/2024

Jack
8/5/2024

Jayden

smiles confidently Trust me, Jack. The press loves a good story. They'll eat this shit up, and it'll ruin the wedding before it even starts.
