Brielle awoke at 6 AM, feeling the quiet stillness of the early morning. She freshened up quickly and headed downstairs for breakfast, only to realize Max had already left for work.


    "Mr. Max left for the office at five in the morning," the housekeeper informed her.


    Typical workaholic, Brielle mused.


    After a quick meal, she hopped in her car and drove to Ster Stage Entertainment, her mood souring at the sight of the swarm of reporters waiting like vultures. Their persistence was grating. "Ms. Brielle, is it true you''re nning to abandon your father?" one reporter shouted.


    "Ms. Brielle, I heard that your father gave you all the little money he had back then, and he doesn''t seem as unbearable as you think. As a daughter, isn''t it against thew not to support your parents?" another pressed. "Your mother''s health is failing. She''s been waiting for you to visit," a third added.


    Brielle''s gaze grew icy as she backed her car away, avoiding the reporters by using a different garage entrance.


    Once inside and away from the media frenzy, Brielle''s mood hadn''t improved by the time she reached her office at the top floor.


    Donny walked in with updates that did little to lighten the atmosphere. "Ms. Haywood, the front desk is swamped with calls - invites for you to appear on shows."


    "Decline them," Brielle replied curtly, powering up herputer.


    "And Mr. Kingston stopped by again this morning. The crew from Life Focus is broadcasting live outside as we speak."


    They were clearly trying to milk the situation after yesterday''s viral episode. The security at Ster Stage Entertainment had been instructed to only allow staff entry, so the reporters were left stranded outside.


    However, as long as the scandal


    remained hot, Brielle would be under


    scrutiny. Thepany''s social


    media was exploding with


    messages, both from detractors and


    supporters alike.
