Chapter 363 Ziana Quit the Show
"As for my ex-husband, he doesn't want to show up. We are divorced, so he doesn't want to be involved in my affairs. I think everyone should be able to guess that we don't have a good relationship."
"In fact, we had an engagement in our early years, so we got married three years ago." Ziana's voice was calm, as if
she was telling a story. "But he didn't love me, and I thought I could make him fall in love with me, but it turned out I was too confident."
Ziana smiled and said calmly, "As a woman, being too confident in a relationship is not a good thing. After I realized this, we divorced peacefully. It was not because I cheated on him, or he cheated on me. So I want to clarify this and hope everyone will stop spreading rumors and slandering my reputation."
"If anyone is spreading the rumors of me cheating on my ex-husband, I will pursue legal responsibility,"
At this point, a journalist reminded her, "Well, Miss Scott, can you explain why you were divorced and had a child but still attended the show? Did you discuss this with the production team in advance? Did they know about it?"
"The production team was not aware. They know no more than you do," Ziana spoke up for the production team.
Antony stood not far from her and looked distressed, but his eyes lit up upon hearing her words.
The reporter asked again, "So, Miss Scott, you mean that you deliberately deceived the production team from the beginning? So the production team is also a victim, right?" "No." Ziana frowned. "I did not deceive the production team."
"But the production team didn't know you were married and had a child. How can you say that you didn't lie to them?" The reporter seized the loophole in her words and said aggressively, "Miss Scott, your words are contradictory. Are you making up a lie? This is a press conference, and we hope you can tell the truth."
Ziana looked at him with a serious expression. "I have a question want you to answer me, did the production team initially mention that divorced women were not allowed to participate in the show?" All the reporters looked at Antony.
Antony spoke into the microphone in front of him. "No, we didn't."
Love 101 was a coupling reality show back then, so it was qualified as long as the guest was a single woman.
Ziana said with a smile, "Divorced women are also single women, so how did I deceive the production team?"
"But you were married and had children!" someone exclaimed.
Ziana was puzzled. "So what? Does being married and having a child mean I can't participate in a dating show or pursue my dreams and happiness anymore? I'm young and pretty. Although I'm a divorced single mother, is it anything with the show?"
"It matters!" The male reporter said unhappily, "Divorce women who have given birth to children can't appear on the dating show!"
Ziana retorted, "Which rule says no? According to your logic, divorced single mothers can no longer pursue their dreams or be happy, right? What kind of logic is this?"
"My failure in marriage can not negate everything else about me. It cannot stop me from living my life seriously. Yes, I am a divorced mother, but I am also a woman, an independent individual, and I have the right to pursue everything I
want."
"I never felt that being a divorced mother was a special label, so I didn't inform the production team. But today, I

found out that everyone sees divorced women through colored glasses," Ziana sneered. "I can't believe that you are still discriminating against divorced women."
"Are the demands on women so excessive in this society? We are expected to excel in both the office and the house. We not only need to earn money but also fend off mistresses. And those who remain unmarried are deemed bizarre. When we get married, we become referred to as old married women, and if we divorce, we are branded as divorced women. And now, you actually want to deprive the rights of divorced women to pursue happiness."
"I feel sorrowful for myself as a woman, as well as for this society. As someone with a good status and family background, the plight of divorced women like me is already so difficult; I can't even imagine how much harder it is for ordinary divorced women to survive in everyday life."
After Ziana finished speaking, the venue fell silent.
Ziana looked around and stared straight into the camera. She sighed and said, "The initial purpose of my participation in the show was destined to fail, so I decided to quit the show. However, it does not mean am compromising with the prejudice and discrimination against divorced women. I just want to avoid causing more trouble for the production
team."
"I have explained everything for you all. This press conference ends here."
After that, Ziana stood up, bowed to the camera, and walked away.
