Big Novel

Public Apology
One netizen commented: No way! Elena would never do something like that! Ysabelle’s fans must’ve slandered her.
Another supported: That’s right! Ysabelle is a phony woman who only knows how to act pure and innocent. Elena is not cunning
like her, so obviously, she can’t beat Ysabelle. I’m on Elena’s side!
Another comment read: Ysabelle makes me sick to the stomach. How can she defame her senior and act like a big shot when
she’s just a nobody? Even the staff on the production team knows what she did. It’s too late for her to whitewash her
wrongdoings now.
After all, Elena had been quite a famous singer who had debuted for many years. She had developed a good public image over
the years, so she still had many loyal fans supporting her.
Ysabelle’s fans, on the other hand, were determined to defend Ysabelle too after learning what she had gone through.
The verbal war escalated to a point of no return.
Xandra came looking for Sophie and said anxiously, Sophie, this ongoing mudslinging isn’t good for Ysabelle’s image. We are
currently in talks with a high-end foreign brand company, and they have high expectations for their artist’s image.”
“Sophie, this ongoing mudslinging isn’t good for Ysabelle’s image. We are currently in talks with a high- end foreign brand
company, and they have high expectations for their artist’s image.”
“I know what to do. Don’t worry!”
Sophie posted another video online which showed Elena’s assistant causing Ysabelle to get hurt.
The video, which also included the dialogue between Elena and her assistant, was substantial evidence that was enough to
silence everyone on Elena’s side..
Even Elena’s die-hard fans were at a loss for words.
Someone then commented: Oh my goodness! How can this be? I can’t believe it. She’s my idol. I’ve been her fan for five years! I
can’t believe she’d do something like that!

The second netizen commented: Ysabelle is indeed talented, but Elena has gone overboard by bullying her! As a singer, she
should’ve focused on improving her skills and releasing more songs!
The third comment read: I feel sorry for Ysabelle! What on earth did she have to go through yesterday? Not only was her leg
injured, but she was also slandered by Elena’s fans.
The fourth netizen chimed in: I’m heartbroken! I want to visit Ysabelle in the hospital and let her know that we will always stand
by her side and protect her. No one is allowed to bully her.
The trolls on the internet dared not speak up after the video was posted.
Elena’s face turned pale when she saw the video. What is going on? What’s with the production team? How did that video get
leaked? Isn’t the production team on my side?
At that moment, her assistant dared not make a sound,
“Ms. Miller, what should we do now? The netizens are all attacking us. Maybe you should call Mr. Perez!
He’s the only one who can help now,” said the assistant, trembling.
The netizens were all doxing Elena, so if she went out now, she would definitely be attacked by Ysabelle’s fans.
Elena’s expression was grim as well.
At that instant, the assistant’s phone rang. It was a call from the advertisers they had just negotiated with. They had requested to
cancel the collaboration.
All of Elena’s endorsement deals and advertisements had been canceled in less than half an hour. The assistant grew
increasingly restless after answering all the calls.
“It’s okay, Ms. Miller. This problem will be solved as long as Mr. Perez is on your side,” said the assistant confidently. Mr. Perez
has always supported Ms. Miller. He would help her again this time, right?
“No. Get in touch with TS Entertainment. I need to meet Xandra,” said Elena. Lucas has never been on my side. He had warned
me many times before, and I didn’t listen. I basically shot myself in the foot. All of this must be Xandra’s doing. She’s indeed as
ruthless as ever.
“Ms. Miller, I don’t think you should-”

“What? Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if it weren’t for your incompetence!”
Hearing that, her assistant didn’t dare to say a word and immediately tried to contact TS Entertainment. However, the other party
hung up as soon as they realized who the caller was, showing no intention of paying them any heed.
“Ms. Miller, why don’t we go to the hospital and apologize to Ysabelle? As long as we show our sincerity. things will eventually
blow over after some time,” the assistant suggested. That’s how the entertainment industry is! People would soon forget about
the news after some time no matter how big of a deal it is.
“Okay. Go and make the necessary arrangements.”
Elena had been in the entertainment industry long enough to know that the best course of action at that moment was to
apologize.
Sophie was still in the hospital, accompanying Ysabelle. The latter knew that Sophie must have intervened after seeing how the
situation turned out.
“Sophie, you’re the best.
She was slandered severely this time around, and all the netizens sympathized with her. In fact, she even gained many fans.
At that moment, Ysabelle’s assistant entered the ward.
“Ms. Sophie, Elena and her assistant are here to apologize to Ysabelle. Countless reporters are surrounding the hospital now.”
“Hah. Apologize? Did she come to gross me out on purpose? My leg is in a cast now because of her.” Ysabelle scoffed. The
mere mention of Elena and her assistant filled Ysabelle with displeasure.
“You don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.” Sophie stood up from the couch, ready to go out.
“Let them in, Sophie. They came all the way here to apologize, garnering so much attention. If we don’t
let them in, who knows what those reporters will write about us?”
As an artist, Ysabelle knew maintaining her own image was important.

“That won’t be necessary. You rest here, and I’ll handle this. Sean should be here soon. I want all the other artists to know that
no one can bully the employees of TS,” Sophia remarked with determination.
So what if she’s a diva? I’ll ruin her reputation for bullying TS Entertainment’s artist.
“Ms. Sophie, are you sure this is okay? Elena’s fans are aggressive.” Ysabelle’s assistant was still a bit worried.
After all, they couldn’t risk endangering their career in the entertainment industry.
Sophie patted the assistant’s face and said, “What’s wrong? Do you not trust me? Don’t worry. If I can’t even handle this matter,
how am I going to explain to Felix when he comes back?”
“Why do you need to explain anything to him? We have already broken up,” Ysabelle said, annoyed. I have to admit that I’ve
been listless lately when Felix isn’t around, but that’s just because I’ve gotten too used to his presence. I’m sure things would get
better once I got used to his absence.
“Fine, whatever you say! I’m going out now.”
Sophie walked out of the hospital to see many reporters swarming at the entrance of the hospital. Elena and her assistant got
out of their car as well.
As soon as the two emerged from the vehicle, the reporters began hurling questions at them.
“Ms. Miller, why are you targeting Ysabelle? She’s one of the best singers among the new generation of rising stars. Are you
afraid she’ll surpass you?”
“Ms. Miller, now that you have caused Ysabelle’s injury, do you think an apology is enough?”
The reporters pressed on for answers,
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m really sorry, but I would like to apologize to Ms. Lombard first before answering your questions.
Please give me some time. After all, Ms. Lombard is injured because of me, so I want to apologize to her sincerely.”
