The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1625

"Fans?"

The journalist didn't expect Chloe to suddenly respond to his question. He paused for a moment and nodded somewhat dazedly. "Right. The whole internet is buzzing, don't you know about it?"

"Indeed, you've gathered quite a following. They've all been silently supporting you, haven't you noticed?"

Chloe's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile.

"I personally don't consider myself a public figure. I'm honored to have fans. As for the silent support..." Chloe chuckled, "I appreciate it, but I would encourage everyone to give their energy to themselves and their families first."

Although Chloe's words were tactful, they completely upset the already restless fans present. "What are you implying? Shouldn’t we support you?"d2

Chloe raised an eyebrow; even though she was smiling, there was already a coldness in her eyes.

"Every time you face something, we're the ones who silently support you. We're the ones who talk people down when they're attacking you, and maintain order among fans."

"And you've probably forgotten, it was us, your fans, who fought those who targeted you. Without us, you would have been torn apart by now. And now you're fed up with us?"

"What kind of person do you think you are, always causing problems. Being your fan is exhausting."

...

"So was I wrong to ask you not to be my fans?"

Chloe's words were obviously cold and assertive. Her aura silenced everyone in the room.

"I'm not a public figure. I'm not now, and I never will be. I'm honored to have fans, but I must make it clear that I cannot give you anything in return."

She paused, her gaze becoming sharper and colder.

"Think about why you became my fans in the first place. If you consider me your spiritual nourishment, don't expect me to be grateful for anything you do for me.

"If you're complaining about how hard it is to be my fans, well, I never forced you to do anything for me. If it's something you chose to do, then don't brag about it in front of me. Our relationship is a one-way choice, not a mutual agreement. It's your decision and has nothing to do with me. Figure out where you stand, and then think about whether you have the right to act out in front of me.”

Chloe's words enraged the fans present, but they couldn't refute her. They voluntarily became her fans, and they actively defended her against the haters and even tried to protect her reputation. Everything they did was of their own accord, and it indeed had nothing to do with her. Their previous arguments had made them look like a joke.
