Chapter 23
A loud bang echoed from outside the boys‘ room. Josiah and Hubery exchanged puzzled looks, having also heard the noise.
“What’s going on out there?”
Let’s check it out”
Stepping outside, they spotted Egbert standing by the emergency staircase across the hall, his brows furrowed as he peered into the stairwell.
Curious, Josiah approached. But before he could get there, a figure flew out of the stairwell and landed at his feet!
“What the hell” Josiah swiftly took a step back. Before Josiah could identify the man sprawled at his feet, a fierce–looking Eileen stormed out of the stairwell. She yanked the man up, landed a punch on his face, and sent blood spurting from his nose.
Josiah was flabbergasted at the scene, and Hubery was similarly frozen in shock from afar.
The cameraman, who had been slacking off, hastily ran over with his camera. Upon recognizing the parties involved in the brawl, the cameraman cried. out, “Kenley! What in the world happened?!”
It was midnight overseas, but for most domestic viewers, it was prime time for eating lunch and watching variety shows. The live stream was bustling with activity.
So, the staggering 1.5 billion viewers tuning in were all witnesses to the bloody spectacle of Eileen brutally attacking Kenley. The staff were so taken aback that they didn’t even have time to explain the situation
Eileen landed another punch, causing Kenley’s eye to swell up instantly.
“Eileen! Stop it, Eileen!” Josiah, being a tough guy, was the first to intervene.
Kenley, lying on the floor, was on the verge of passing out. Coughing repeatedly, he lay sprawled on the carpet, half his face covered in blood.
The director was alerted and rushed over. The shock nearly knocked him off his feet.
“What the hell happened!” he bellowed
Someone suggested, “Should we stop the live stream, director?”
Immediately, a barrage of comments flooded in, pleading, “Don’t stop. Don’t stop!”
Seemingly hearing the audience’s pleas, the director grimly replied, “It’s too late to stop the livestream now. Let’s keep it going so we have evidence.” He then turned to Eileen, who was being held back by Josiah, and demanded, “Have you lost your mind!”
Eileen sneered and took off her coat. She then retreated back into the stairwell. Shortly after, she emerged with a disheveled Phyllis, who was sobbing and gasping for breath.
Phyllis‘ torn pants and shredded clothes hanging from her waist like rags were immediately visible beneath the coat.
The world fell silent, and so did the live stream.
Seeing the camera, Phyllis immediately threw herself into Eileen’s arms, and her body was shaking with sobs. Eileen shot the cameraman a glare, prompting him to swiftly move the camera away. She then took Phyllis back to their room.
The sound of the girls‘ room door closing seemed to snap everyone out of their shock. The director glanced at Kenley on the floor and fell silent for a moment, apparently trying to process what had just happened.
Bblythe was the last to hear about the incident. As soon as she learned what had transpired, she activated the camera in the girls‘ room.
Although there were cameras in both rooms, it was up to the guests whether they wanted them turned on. After all, these cameras were inside their rooms, and any slip–ups could result in unwanted footage being captured
Bblythe decided to turn on the camera in the girls‘ room because the viewers were undoubtedly curious about what had happened. If they didn’t broadcast it, it would only raise more questions. Some viewers always assumed the worst when it came to a girl’s reputation.
Eileen’s involvement in the incident wasn’t helping either. Already on the internet’s blacklist, she had now assaulted rising star Kenley. If they didn’t clear up the situation, Eileen could face a barrage of attacks from Kenley’s fans the next morning.
The moment the live stream switched to the girls‘ room, countless viewers flocked to the stream. The number of comments skyrocketed. It wasn’t until Bblythe started speaking that the viewers quieted down slightly.
“Tell us what he did to you”
Wrapped in a blanket, Phyllis was entirely hidden from view. Her face streaked with tears, Phyllis choked out, “Kenley said he had something to tell me…. went to see him. He comforted me at first, and said he’d accompany me to see the crew to make up for the lost money. Then, he hugged me and tried to take off my pants.. I begged him to stop, but he just covered my mouth…”
“Okay, okay, you don’t have to say anymore.” Bblythe wanted to tell the viewers that Phyllis was a victim and needed rest.
But Phyllis continued, “Thankfully, Eileen arrived.” Her voice trailed off as she glanced at Eileen.
After going through such a traumatic experience, Phyllis understood that she had to clarify the situation immediately.
The number of comments on the livestream shot up again.
This is shocking news.]
– can’t believe it. Kenley isn’t like this]
-I can’t believe it either. Kenley could get any girl he wants, why would he do this to Phyllis?]
-Phyllis used to be part of PrismPulse Entertainment. Since Kenley joined, all the resources have been given to him. We have reason to suspect that
Phyllis is unsatisfied with her treatment and wants to get back at Kenley]
-No wonder Phyllis was so nice to Kenley before. She was just trying to lower his guard so she could slander him. Phyllis, you’re ruthless]
The majority of comments were from Kenley’s fans, hurling insults at Phyllis. Every now and then, a few viewers would throw out question marks, but they couldn’t stop the flood of comments attacking Phyllis
Bblythe frowned over at Eileen. “I heard you punched Kenley till he spat out blood?”
–[Eileen, you bitch, how dare you hit Kenley!]
The fans in the live chat quickly turned their attacks on Eileen.
Eileen coolly sat on the couch and replied, “I only broke his nose. He didn’t spit out blood. It was a nosebleed”
Bblythe said seriously, “You’re too impulsive.”
*I agree, I was too impulsive.” Eileen nodded in agreement. “Given the urgency, my first reaction was to punch his face. If I had aimed for his stomach, he might have spat out blood. What a pity”
At this point, Eileen glanced at Phyllis again and said, “Can you stop crying?”
Phyllis looked at her sadly.
Eileen frowned “If you cry again, I’ll have to mute you.”
Phyllis immediately covered her mouth, looking at her in horror.
Eileen rubbed her temples and glared at Phyllis. “I don’t get it, why do you like Kenley? How can you believe what he says?” novelbin
Phyllis said pitifully, “He’s good–looking_
“He’s good–looking?” Eileen laughed. “His face is a plastic surgery masterpiece, can’t you really tell? There’s even a scar under his cheekbone! If his face is handsome, then Egbert’s face must be drop– dead gorgeous! If you like someone like Kenley, you might as well give all this adoration to Egbert. He is definitely worth your affection”
