Realizing he couldn't dodge the truth any longer, Tyler sighed, laying bare the situation with complete honesty.

"It's Cole. He's been acting strangely. The event script initially didn't involve any interaction between us, but he deliberately approached me, using suggestive actions to stir up the fans’ imaginations.

Off-camera, he goes out of his way to irritate me, babbling nonsense and instigating conflicts. I can't understand his motives, maybe it's his idea of a revenge plot. In any case, it's a hassle."

By the end of his revelation, Tyler's tone had grown noticeably agitated. Ariana paused for a moment before asking, "And what about Mr. Salazar? I had a discussion with him previously, didn't he intervene?"

Silence ensued from Tyler's end before he finally spoke, a note of resentment creeping into his voice.
