### Summary
The confrontation between Melissa Foddebrat and Crown Prince Ian Basilios reaches its climax as Melissa decisively ends their engagement. Ian’s response is a display of profound arrogance and flawed logic, epitomized by his audacious belief that Melissa should love him exclusively even if he cheats—a line readers identified as a reference to a K-pop song by Taeyang. The chapter's most discussed moment is a comedic, imagined sequence where Melissa violently smashes an ashtray over Ian's head, a cathartic fantasy that readers found both satisfying and hilariously disappointing when revealed to be a product of her imagination. Ultimately, Melissa maintains her composure and delivers a powerful verbal shutdown, declaring, "I no longer love you at all." This act solidifies her status as a "savage queen" and "badass" protagonist among readers, who overwhelmingly celebrate the epic dumping of the "fuckboy" prince. While Ian's character is universally condemned as a narcissistic "clown," some readers speculate that this unprecedented rejection may ironically cause him to develop a genuine, trope-fueled interest in her.
