The security guard handed a basket to Evan, who accepted it, poured a bag of chili peppers inside, and walked over to face the camera as directed by the live broadcast team. With a determined expression, he began, “Last year, I unintentionally hurt Abby’s self-esteem. That was my mistake, and I sincerely apologize to her.
“Abby currently wants nothing to do with me. Miss Adalee informed me that if I eat chili peppers live on camera, I’ll be allowed to come here every day to wait for Abby. I don’t eat spicy food—honestly, I’m terrified of it. But in order to see Abby and have a chance to ask for her forgiveness, I’m willing to accept Miss Adalee’s challenge.”
The live broadcast team exchanged bewildered glances. Adalee hadn’t prepared a script for Evan, yet he explained the entire situation himself. Was that permissible?
Someone discreetly messaged Adalee for clarification. Her response was straightforward: Evan could say whatever he wanted. He understood the boundaries. If he crossed the line or made a mistake, he wouldn’t just fail to win Abby back—he’d push her even further away.
With trembling hands, Evan grabbed a handful of chili peppers and stuffed them into his mouth. The fiery heat hit him instantly, making him want to spit them out. His face turned red as he struggled to chew, but he refused to back down. It felt as though his mouth was on fire.
After several agonizing minutes, Evan gathered the courage to grab a second handful and shove them into his mouth. The live stream of Evan eating chili peppers was broadcast to everyone in the Du Group via their mobile phones. Adalee even shared the live feed in several work chat groups, instructing everyone to take five minutes to watch—but no longer, to avoid
disrupting productivity. Beyond the Du Group, the live stream reached the entire Du family and the York family, including their relatives all the way in Wiltspoon. Adalee even managed to obtain Grandma York’s contact details, adding the elderly matriarch on WhatsApp and forwarding the live stream directly to her. As a lover of drama, Grandma York quickly shared the live broadcast in the family group chat. Now, the entire York family could witness the spectacle of the fourth young master’s “first checkpoint” on his path to redemption—a public chili-eating challenge organized by the eldest lady of the Du family.
As Grandma York observed Evan’s struggle, she turned to Rosella and remarked, “He’s eating far too slowly. It’s been several minutes, and he’s only consumed two handfuls. Look at him—he’s already sweating profusely. When will he finish that entire basket of peppers?” Evan was Callum’s younger brother and Rosella’s second son, so naturally, Rosella had tuned in to the live stream as well. She nodded in agreement, saying, “You’re right. At this rate, Abby won’t be impressed at all. If he truly wants to show sincerity, he needs to keep eating until his face turns bright red, tears are streaming down his cheeks, and his lips are swollen. That’s the only way Abby might feel sympathetic and step in to stop him.”
The only person who could halt Evan from this self-imposed ordeal was Abby herself. “Rosella,” Grandma York instructed, “go to the comments section and tell him to eat faster and take bigger bites. As long as it’s not dangerous, he must push through. We need everyone in the comments to cheer him on and send him virtual gifts for encouragement.” “The Du family will intervene once he’s had enough. But if he keeps dragging this out, they’ll think he’s not serious about it.”
Apologizing, Grandma York interjected, “Don’t worry about the sincerity part—just tell him to eat faster and more. Get everyone involved.” Without hesitation, Grandma York sent Evan a virtual gift herself. Rosella laughed and replied, “Understood, Mom. I’ll comment just as you suggested.”
