It’s no secret how venomous Bryce Xavier’s words can be. If others dared to insult Fiona Grantham like that, they’d be considered thick-headed fools with a death wish. But coming from Bryce, it’s more acceptable; it only makes people wonder how Fiona managed to offend such an old rogue. Being publicly humiliated for the first time, Fiona couldn’t sit still, she stood up swiftly, her face twisted with anger. "Director Xavier, I respect you as a director and a senior, but I won’t let you bully me. Fair reasoning stands with people, everyone knows your character, there’s no need to say more. Today, you slandered me publicly, and I will make sure both my company and lawyers send you a notice!" Fiona said angrily, then turned and left without another moment’s pause. It’s not that she didn’t want to argue with Bryce, but he is simply a thorough old rogue who is entirely unreasonable. The nastiness of his words is beyond imagination, it’s limitless. Staying would only mean more humiliation; it was better to leave quickly. "Tsk, girl, I’ll help you hire a wave of internet trolls when you go back, so you don’t end up being cursed like shit." Bella Green: "..." Could you not speak so boldly about hiring internet trolls regardless of the situation? However, these words unexpectedly evoked sympathy for Bella from many. Look, she didn’t even offend Fiona, and when she goes back if she’s criticized, doesn’t that mean Fiona is bullying people using her seniority? "Then I must thank Director Bryce for his righteous help." Bella clasped her hands together earnestly like a martial arts hero, causing laughter from the audience. With Bella’s words, the atmosphere instantly livened up, and the host timely intervened, steering the topic back on track. Seeing Bryce Xavier, Bella couldn’t resist smiling, touched with a warm sentiment. Actually, even if Bryce hadn’t spoken today, Bella wouldn’t have suffered, but she would definitely be shaded again by Fiona. Bryce’s interjection shifted all animosity onto himself.

With no one causing disruptions now, the press conference proceeded relatively smoothly. The conference ended, as people started leaving one by one, Bella glanced at some young girls eagerly peering in her direction and couldn’t help but smile, walking over. They never imagined Bella would personally come over, and were instantly overwhelmed with excitement. Facing the girls, Bella gave a slight smile, "Would you like a photo and autograph?" At this, they were initially stunned, then couldn’t help but exclaim with joy. "Brother Bella, are you really going to take a photo with us?" the girl who previously insulted Bella asked apprehensively. Bella looked at her and suddenly laughed, "I’ll always remember your words." As soon as the girl heard, her expression changed drastically; she had previously called Bella disgusting and a pervert; is Bella holding a grudge? "No, it’s not like that, I didn’t mean it earlier, I’m sorry..." Bella looked at her with surprise and confusion, "Why apologize? You said everyone, regardless of gender, likes me, I’m quite happy about that." "Ah? So that’s the statement you’re referring to?" She stared at Bella, then laughed, scratching her head, "Well, it’s true, your female attire is super pretty, you just transitioned from a male idol to a goddess." Hearing this, Bella smiled. Actually, she heard those words from the stage earlier, but was worried they’d feel awkward, so she pretended to know nothing.
