86 Adding fuel

City A, 7:00 PM (GMT+8)

People in City A were all impatiently waiting for Sabrina's response against the issues that was being thrown to her.

Taking advantage of her situation, a lot of envious artists added fuel to the fire, causing Sabrina to have a lot of haters.

"Don't let the innocent looks fool you," tweeted one artist named Yuna Lee which hyped Sabrina's bashers.

Yuna was in the same agency as Sabrina before, Crest Entertainment. She was always Sabrina's rival when it comes to rankings.

Usually placing second, Yuna took advantage of the situation to drag Sabrina down.

After all, it will definitely benefit her.

Who knows, maybe she'll end up stealing Sabrina's Hollywood role.

"Is Yuna confirming the issue?" commented one netizen on Yuna's tweet.

"I bet she is," answered one netizen.

"Sabrina's fans are all stupid, I mean, why would you stan a double-faced artist when you can support a real queen? Bow down to my goddess Yuna!"

"The real queen deserves the top spot and not some artist who have no morals at all!"

"Yuna is much deserving of the recognitions, she's one hardworking and kind artist."

Reading the comments, Yuna enjoyed herself with the endless praises she was receiving from her fans.

"Is this enough CEO Valerie or should I post more?" Yuna asked.

"That's enough," Valerie answered, then smiled, "Soon, you'll be taking her spot, it won't look good if you post so much. It will look like you're intentionally dragging her down," she said.

A smile was plastered on Yuna's face, "I understand, I'll get going now," she said and Valerie nodded. Yuna stood up and left Valerie's office immediately along with her manager.

"You'll finally get the number one spot!" Yuna's manager giggled excitedly.

"Of course, I deserve it," Yuna answered arrogantly.

On their way out, they were cornered by a large crowd of reporters, asking for their statement.

"Yuna! I'm from Hourly News! Can you please give a statement about your latest tweet?"

"Miss Yuna, since you are in the same entertainment agency as Sabrina, are you testifying that the issue about Sabrina is true?"

"Was your recent tweet directed to Sabrina Pierce?"

Being harassed by the crowd, Yuna had a hard time passing through. The guards of Crest Entertainment had to step in to control the situation.

"Ms. Yuna, please answer us," said one reporter.

"I think what tweeted is enough, please let me pass through," Yuna answered, which hyped the reporters.

"So are you saying that it's really true?"

"Are you testifying right now?"

"We have no comment, just let the truth reveal itself," answered Yuna's manager who was already using her body to shield Yuna because of the uncontrollable crowd.

"Wait guys! Stop!" suddenly shouted one reporter which made everyone freeze, "Check your phones now! It's CEO Grande!" he said.

In a rush, everybody brought their phone out immediately to check what was going on.

Alexander was currently live on his Instagram account.

"Hello to everyone," Alexander greeted, "I am Alexander Grande, CEO of Cosche Corporation. Recently, an issue about my fiancé broke in City A which affected both her career and reputation massively. At 8:00 PM, City A time, we will be holding a live virtual press conference at the Press Hall of Cosche Corporation to answer everyone's questions. Thank you," he said then ended the live immediately.

"A press-con?"

"Guys! We should prepare now!" shouted one reporter.

"Wait!" shouted another reporter, "Look! Walker Empire also posted something!" he said.

Checking through their phones, one by one, the reporters' facial expressions changed.

'Hello, good day. We are inviting our friends in the media to join us for a press conference. At 8:00 PM (GMT+8), Javier Walker, CEO of Walker Empire, will hold a virtual press conference at Cosche's Press Hall together with CEO Alexander Grande of Cosche Corporation. We look forward to your attendance.'

"What is this? Why is Walker Empire joining the press conference?" asked one reporter.

"Yeah, what do they have to do with the issue?" added one reporter.

"Well, if we want to know the answer, it's best we all leave now to prepare for the press conference. It's going to start in one hour," said one reporter.

One by one, the media left Crest Entertainment immediately.

"Why are they suddenly leaving?" Yuna asked curiously.

"I don't know," answered her manager, "Maybe something urgent came up," she shrugged.

Los Angeles, 7:00 AM (PST)

Sitting in the living room, Alexander held Sabrina's hand.

"Are you ready?" Alexander asked Sabrina concernedly.

Sabrina nodded, "You're here, I'll be fine," she smiled at him to assure him.

Alexander was a little bit worried about Sabrina's emotional state. The hate comments on her were too raging that even Alexander can't help himself but get angry over it.

But Sabrina was calm. She was too calm that it worried Alexander.

"Are you really okay?" Alexander asked her once again.

"Yes I am," Sabrina chuckled, "Honestly, you're the one who doesn't look okay," she told him.

"You're too calm," Alexander answered, "It doesn't look normal. Are you not even affected by the comments?" he asked her.

"I am," Sabrina answered, "But not to a level that I'm going to cry over it. It hurts yes, but I'm innocent so there's nothing to be worried about," she told him.

Alexander suddenly felt embarrassed of himself. He was always overly worried about Sabrina when in fact she was strong enough to handle herself.

His admiration for her rose to another notch.

"The cameras are all set!" Kenzie said, "I'm excited to watch those people get face slapped!" she said excitedly.

"Everything is set Sir," Grey said, "Our people in Cosche are also ready, they are only waiting for a go signal," he reported.

"Good job," Alexander said, "Come with me in the balcony for a second," he told Grey.

Alexander stood up, "I'll be back," he told Sabrina.

Both Alexander and Grey headed to the balcony on the second floor.

Without beating around the bush, Alexander showed his phone to Grey, "Find out everything you can find about this artist. Ask Kenzie for help," he said.

"Yuna Lee?" Grey mumbled to himself while reading what's displayed on Alexander's phone screen.

"Submit them to me before the start of the press conference," Alexander instructed him, "Also, list the top 100 people who left defaming comments on Sabrina, have the lawyers send them letters," he added.

Earlier, Alexander scrolled through the entertainment section of the news and the first thing that popped was Yuna Lee's tweet.

There were over a hundred thousand comments under the post and it was mostly bashing Sabrina.

Yuna was obviously defaming Sabrina and Alexander couldn't ignore it.

Today, he's about to show them the consequences of their actions.

He will show no mercy.
