Selina hot Ashley a subtle smirk. Ashley hesitated, finally lifting her head, her voice quivering with a mix of fear and resolve. "Selina. I really don't know what I did to offend you" Ashley knew that Selina wouldn't be able to resist mocking her. She thought to herself. Here we go. Selina's bullying has gone too far. She's been repeatedly humiliating me. If I play this night, everyone will see me as the victim, and Selina will come off as the aggressor. you
However, before Ashley could finish, Selina interrupted. "First of all, I've already made it clear that we're not close, but keep acting like we are. Most people would take the hint and back off, but you just keep playing the victim. It must be exhausting for everyone around you. People probably don't realize you're the source of the trouble and end up blaming themselves. Second, can you stop with the fake pouting? I know you think it makes you look cute, but it's annoying to everyone else"
"And third, my attitude was clear this afternoon. You started crying and pointing fingers at me, and now I'm just following the rules and expressing my opinion. But you're crying as if you're being unjustly treated. That's why I keep my distance from you" Selina continued. The room fell into stunned silence. As Selina spoke, some of the others began to see her point, especially the women. They could understand where she was coming from.
Online comments began to flood in. One user wrote: [Selina's taking advantage of her fame to target Ashley, and we're not okay with it! We, Mr. Harvey's fans, won't let her get away with it!]
Another comment read: [I've never seen such an arrogant woman before. I don't care if she's 'Angel, the lead guitarist of some underground band. Her attitude is just gross.]
One person shared: [Ashley is so pitiful. Watching her just breaks my heart. I've been in her shoes, being targeted for no reason. Someone needs to step in and help her.]
In contrast, another commenter said: [Are you all blind? Selina doesn't even want to engage with Ashley. Why do you keep stirring the pot?]
Another person commented: [I think Ashley is super fake. Selina's not wrong at all. People like her creep me out. They're the kind who'd steal your boyfriend.]
Someone wrote: [Ladies, I had a dormmate just like Ashley, a total bitch with amazing acting skills. At first, I was completely fooled, but later, I got isolated by my dormmates because she was secretly stirring up conflict. She always made my life difficult, and I ended up in a tough spot. I had no choice but to confront her.]

Clusia had over a billion people, so it was not surprising that drama like this would unfold all the time. The supposed harmony in girls' dorms often masked real conflict. That was why Selina's words resonated with some of the viewers. They could see Ashley for what she was always crying and playing innocent. Selina was just trying to distance herself, but Ashley kept provoking her. As the perception began to shift, it seemed less like Selina was the bully and more like Ashley was the perfect victim, soaking up sympathy without ever getting her hands dirty.
"Selina, don't be so harsh!" Joseph blurted out. Watching Selina tear into Ashley was too much for him. 'Ashley isn't like that. She's always been genuinely kind, sweet-natured, and full of life. She's not the type to be malicious. She's been that since we were kids. It's Selina who doesn't get it and is twisting things around, he thought.

"Why don't you and Ashley both stay far away from me? Don't come to me with your problems or drag me into your mess. I'm done talking. Let's move on to the next round. Selina dusted off her pants and sat down. Lydia immediately shot her a thumbs-up and signaled with her eyes as if she were saying, "Nice job, Selina! That was so satisfying."
Joseph wanted to argue, but Lydia cut him off. "Mr. Harvey, it's time for the next round. This is a live show. Are you going to waste everyone's time just to satisfy your delusions?"

"That's enough, Joseph Please, stop talking It's all my fault Ashley played her role to perfection, trying to prevent the -situation from escalating any further. She tugged gently at Joseplis sleeve, shook her head, and then sat down, her head bowed as if she was trying to seallow her tears, looking utterly heartbroken and pitiful.
Watching her, Joseph and Garrett felt a pang of sympathy. Garren thought, 'How can someone be so kind? Selina's the one being cruel, vet Ashley is the one apologizing, taking the blame herself so she won't trouble anyone else. It's almost painful to see how selfless she is Oliver leaned over to Pamela and whispered. Honey, don't you think Selina went too far? That poor girl, Ashley, didn't seem to do anything wrong. I wonder what happened between them to make them act like enemies"
Without knowing their history, Oliver hesitated to interfere. To him, Garrett was being too impulsive he didn't know the full story but insisted on getting involved. Unless he understood what was really going on, he was just making things worse. "There's something off about Ashley. Pamela replied thoughtfully.
Oliver raised his brows. "Off? Like what?"
"I can't quite put my finger on it... Just a gut feeling." Pamela admitted. Like Selina had said, there was something about Ashley that didn't sit right with her. The frail demeanor, the constant tears - it all seemed too calculated. Pamela didn't know Ashley well enough to judge her, and she wasn't one to make snap decisions based on instinct. But in this case, she felt it was wise to be cautious. Selina, on the other hand, was straightforward and unapologetic she was exactly as she appeared.
Meanwhile, Daniel was grinning from ear to ear, thinking, 'Keep it up. The more drama, the better. The tension between Ashley and Selina had already bumped the show's ratings by 0.1% Max and Lance, who had been in "Serenity of Rural Life" since the first season and were now considered veterans, stepped in to smooth things over, guiding the show into the next pound. The final matchups were decided by the spinning wheel - Pamela and Lance, and Lydia and Garrett. In the last round, the spinning wheel pointed to Selina with the red needle and Joseph with the yellow needle.
The audience buzzed with excitement, thinking. This is going to be something!
Joseph's face darkened. He knew Selina wasn't going to hold back, and whatever she asked wouldn't be easy to answer. "My turn to ask a question?" Selina said, crossing her arms with a cold smirk playing on her lips. "Joseph, when you get married someday, who will be more important to you? Your wife or Ashley?"
