Thirty minutes prior to the group's chaotic moment at the Glaz Bar, Malis was involved in a live session on her TikTok account. During the live, she expressed her deep admiration for Ariya, holding her in high regard. Additionally, Malis made it clear that she would not act recklessly and would prioritize Ariya's happiness above all else, unlike someone else's. Some fans asked her to comment on the video of Olivia kissing a man. She responded with a smile, maintaining her composure, and said, "It's not appropriate to make assumptions. Let's move on from this topic. Plus, if we keep bringing it up, P'Ariya will be affected. Let us remain silent and hope for the best. Let's not be reckless; I'll never allow myself to be reckless with P'Ariya's heart."

After the live event, Malis's best friend hugged her and told her that everything she had done and said was amazing. If she plays her cards right, public opinion could turn against Olivia, and not only Ariya but also many of Olivia's followers could become her own after the video. She is acting very kind and supportive towards Ariya, which is exactly what she needs right now.

Mongkut takes a deep breath as he watches a portion of the live video featuring Malis. Alex had already informed him about it the previous night. However, he's unaware that Alex is taking a provocative approach. She has even convinced Danuphon to provide clarification for whatever they wish to expose. The group made it plain last night that the man in the video is Olivia's brother, and whatever they're intending to uncover from Olivia's past isn't going as planned because Danuphon presented himself with Aisoon while claiming that the three of them are childhood friends, never sweethearts.

"Alexandra is going to be the death of me." While having breakfast with the Charmichaels, Mongkut is kneading his head, "and Ariya is simply following her around like a puppy."

"They're great, and it's also excellent for publishing."

"Anyway! She was totally wasted when she got home, like dead drunk. Hanging out with Ariya and the rest of the crew. I had like ten wasted adults on the show last night. Thank God Olivia stayed with her parents last night." Mongkut is remembering how most of the team in their last week in The Roommate actually went back home dead drunk.

"It's all about the intense emotions that make the show so good."

"Yeah, but still..."

"Hey, trust Alex; that kid knows what she's doing."

"She's definitely not a kid, by the way."

"Still, my kiddo." They were giggling uncontrollably when Mongkut asked, "May I please have another cup of coffee?"

The video and pictures from various sources and news outlets have been circulating, capturing the attention of many. Unfortunately, there have been numerous negative comments regarding the short video that was released earlier in the afternoon, before the second phase of videos from the night party. People are starting to ask Olivia's for an explanation regarding the stranger man in the short video. The man who was suspected to be Olivia's new boyfriend is actually her older brother from a different father. Olivia's father married her mother after they had a son together. And the new videos all feature Ariya with Alex, as well as Aisoon with Danuphon. Jimena presented a picture of the three of them together when they were in kindergarten. In the photo, Danuphon is seen crying while wetting his pants because another child had bullied him.

Moreover, it's Ariya's caption in one of the videos that drives them to go wild. The voices that were pressuring Olivia to be honest about her relationship with the man in the short video are gradually fading away. It seems that they may be feeling ashamed for making accusations without verifying the facts, or they simply no longer care. After witnessing the situation, Malis experiences an overwhelming sense of dread as she feels her entire being go cold. This feeling intensifies, particularly because Mongkut, the CEO, has already issued a formal statement addressing the privacy violation and has expressed intentions to pursue legal action against anyone responsible for spreading false information.
