“No!” Debbie refused bluntly. She knew that her decision would affect thepany’s reputation, but


    she was not the one who had started this.


    So, what was wrong in wanting to prove her innocence? Debbie said coldly, “Mr. Ferdinand, this


    concerns my reputation and it’s an insult to my painstaking effort. I hope you understand.”


    The manager held back his anger and forced a smile.


    “I promise you that we’ll solve this right away. But it’s not a good idea to have everyone’s eyes on us. It


    will only harm your public image.”


    “Actually, I think this is a very good idea. Mr. Ferdinand, I’m the one being used here, but I’m not


    afraid of having a public debate. What are you guys afraid of?”


    Offended by her words, the manager exined in a righteous tone, “I’m not afraid of anything. I just


    think that your way of solving this issue is kind of…” He left the sentence unfinished, trying to be


    euphemistic.


    Debbie understood. But she wasn’t angry with him, knowing that he was speaking only in the


    company’s interest. She smiled apologetically.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Ferdinand. You know, I’m already gued by all sort of gossips, and a lot of people are


    out to defame me. I’m very busy with the preparations for my concert tour, and I’ve signed a few


    endorsements too. I’m up to my neck with work, so it’s really necessary that I handle this issue simply


    and quickly.”


    More and moreizens entered the live chat room. The viewers ferventlymented on the video.


    They marveled at Debbie’s courage and straightforwardness. Never had they seen a singer with such


    strong individuality. Moreover, each time, she was able to produce convincing proof to handle the


    scandals around her. Debbie’s loyal fans expressed their heartache for her being the target of cyber-


    bullying.


    Mr. Ferdinand couldn’t find words to retort. After a pause, when he was about to say something, his


    phone rang. Annoyed, he pulled out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, he froze,


    and quickly walked to the corner of the room to answer it.


    “Carlos!”


    “Leave it be. Just let her continue,” Carlos’ cold voice came from the other end.


    Mr. Ferdinand hesitated.

    Mr. Ferdinand was genuinely concerned about thepany’s welfare.


    Since Debbie and Tammy were both from the samepany, this internal dissension would bring loss


    to thepany.


    “The deed is done. One of them must take responsibility for the Loss we incur today. I want to know


    who that would be. Once the truth surfaces, she’ll be punished without mercy,” Carlos said sternly as


    he put away the copy of the lyrics in question.


    “Yes, Carlos. Got it.”


    After ending the call, Mr. Ferdinand stayed in the room and witnessed their discussion.


    The online viewers had increased to a million in no time. Meanwhile, to support Debbie, a lot of the


    netizens tipped coins and online presents to her chat room ount. The whole situation ended up


    being a fortune-making deal for Debbie.


    Tammy excused herself to go to thedies’ room. After confirming that she was alone inside, she


    quickly dialed a number.


    “What should I do now? Debbie is confronting me in a live Inte broadcast. I’m running out of


    excuses. I can’t take this anymore.”


    “What? She’s confronting you in a Live broadcast?” James was caught by surprise. He had thought


    that Debbie would have someone look into it, and he had made sure that no clues would be found that


    would lead the incident back to him.


    “Yes. She also said that she had a witness. What should I do now?”


    Tammy asked anxiously, tears threatening to roll out of her eyes.
