Chapter 1321 It's Time For Some Honesty
Once the commotion had simmered down, Janet brandished her phone with a triumphant grin. "Vivi, don't be so quick to dash off. Your boss caught the live feed and she's en route."
Previously, when Brandon had ordered his bodyguard to confront the lurking individual in the corner, they unearthed a surprising fact. Rather than merely recording a video, the individual was orchestrating a live broadcast of the unfolding scene in real time.
Given the recent high-profile clash between Vivi and Janet, the live stream skyrocketed to the top of the trend list.
Vivi's boss, seeing the unfolding drama, promptly reached out to Brandon's assistant, expressing regrets and announcing her intent to personally mitigate the situation.
At Janet's words, Vivi's beautiful face gradually lost its color.
She hadn't anticipated the situation to spiral so drastically out of control.
Her predicament left her helpless, hemmed in by the bodyguards' iron circle, like a bird in a cage.
Soon, a fiery-red Lamborghini pulled up outside the hospital. A tall woman in a razor-sharp white suit, power radiating off her in waves, stepped out and strode towards the throng.
Vivi blanched at the sight of her.
As the woman sauntered past Vivi, she paused to give her a look of contempt.
Vivi bit her lip, holding her tongue.
The woman came to a halt in front of Janet, extending a hand with a gracious smile. "Hello, I am Suzanne Duncan, the CEO of Star Entertainment. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my
employee."
Janet shook Suzanne's hand, her smile undiminished. "No harm done. But, Vivi here alleged that the online trolls attacking me were bankrolled by Star Entertainment. I wonder if there's any truth to that?"
Suzanne's eyes hardened as she turned to Vivi, her voice icy. "You have not only failed in your role as a public figure, but have also publicly defamed my company. It seems I've been too lenient."
"Ms. Duncan..." Vivi begged.
"Silence!" Suzanne's voice cracked like a whip. "I've coddled you enough! Over here, everyone."
She clapped her hands, signaling her assistant to bring in the legal team.
Suzanne's frosty gaze fell upon the visibly shaken Vivi. "We all must face the consequences of our actions. Don't try to shift the blame. It's time for some honesty."
"I... I..." Vivi was on the verge of tears, stammering under Suzanne's imposing presence. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Suzanne closed the gap, her voice dropping to a deadly whisper. "Vivi, quit playing the victim. When you mess up, it's on you to make it right."
Vivi's gaze landed on Suzanne, a blank stare that held for a breathless moment before crumbling into despair. Tears welled up, spilling down her cheeks as she confessed, "I did it! I orchestrated the entire charade. I hired the cyber trolls to target Janet, and I set up Mandy. It was all me."
A frigid laugh slipped from Suzanne's lips as she snapped her fingers. In an instant, her lawyer materialized by her side, a contract in hand.
With a voice as frosty as winter's breath, the lawyer
addressed Vivi, "Given your repeated slandering of our company and the consequent damage to our reputation, we've decided to end our cooperation with you. Please sign this contract."
A pen was thrust into Vivi's hand, her fingers closing around it almost mechanically. Yet, she paused, pen hovering above the dotted line, her name waiting to be etched.
Suzanne, noting the hesitation, chilled the air further with her icy retort. "Need me to sign on your behalf?"
Vivi's teeth found her bottom lip, gnawing at it. Seconds ticked by before she finally forced her trembling hands to sign the contract.
With the Vivi debacle handled, Suzanne had no more time to waste on her. She swiveled towards Janet, a sincere apology on her lips. "Miss White, I truly regret the turmoil you've been through. I hope you won't bear a grudge."
Her words hung in the air as her gaze slid towards Brandon, a conversation yet to be had written in her eyes.
