Nate let out a helpless sigh and tried to reason with Selena . " The viewers weren't insulting you . They were just pointing things out . " " They called me brainless , impulsive , shallow , and selfish - how is that not insulting me ? " Selena shot back , voice trembling . " I was just defending myself . Why won't you defend me ? " Tears welled up in her eyes as she broke down , throwing a tantrum like a child denied attention . Nate looked exhausted . His face , usually composed , now revealed a trace of open disdain . He couldn't lose his temper , not here - not live . No matter how frustrated he felt , he had to bite it back , swallowing every word like broken glass . " Fine . It's my fault . " Without another word , he ended the livestream . I couldn't help it . I laughed . A perfectly good stream , derailed by Selena , drowned in chaos . Nate , the ever - composed professional attorney , had been thoroughly humiliated . The fallout from this disaster was inevitable . And sure enough , it came fast . Online threads buzzed with criticism - Selena had no professionalism , no poise . Some people even said they missed me , said I used to be sharp , principled , and articulate . That the streams had been better when I was his co- host . Viewers flooded Nate's inbox , asking him to bring me back . But Nate ? He stayed silent . No response , no PR spin , nothing . Then a colleague forwarded me a clip taken after the livestream ended - Selena throwing herself into Nate's arms , sobbing uncontrollably . I watched Nate push her away , disappointment heavy in his gaze . He said just one thing . " I thought you were smart . But you're just a fool . No awareness , no tact . You're getting more unbearable by the day . " And with that , he left her behind , practically fleeing the scene . I was surprised. Was he finally done with her ? Had the magic of his so - called devotion and love worn off ?
