Frustration was building inside Connor, almost to the point of feeling like he was internally combusting, yet he knew better than to provoke further conflict with influential figures involved.
"Sorry, we didn't thoroughly investigate this matter. We apologize to Ms., Jeannet" Connor offered, showcasing his professional acumen in knowing precisely when to advance or retreat in a delicate situation..

Williamn was flabbergasted by Isabella's persistence; he hadn't anticipated her refusal to reconcile. Ultimately, it was his manager who had to physically lead him away from the escalating scene.
The intended promotional video for William's group naturally fell through. Other groups had proceeded with their filming, but the focus was lost, everyone distracted by the unfolding scandal and incessant online chatter.
