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."
