Chapter 913:
Media reporters and entertainment editors from countless platforms had already packed the venue, jostling for the best angles long before the main crew came on stage.
Heather and Bella were among them.
Heather watched the host prepare with a smug expression. When her gaze landed on the large projector, certainty shaped her smile. “Annabel,” she muttered under her breath, “let’s see how you turn the tables this time p>
“Just wait and see,” Bella said at Heather’s side, flattering as always. “Ling handled everything. I promise you, Annabel will make a fool of herself p>
Soon, the event officially began. From the host’s opening remarks to the appearance of the main cast and crew—including Annabel and Rory—the projector ran smoothly.
Nothing glitched. Nothing played out of turn.
Not a single thing went wrong.
Heather’s smile slowly faded. She glared at Annabel being interviewed onstage, unconsciously tightening her grip on her handbag.
Beside her, Bella frowned in confusion. Ling had assured her everything had been handled.
Heather ground her teeth. Her once-pretty face twisted with frustration as she turned to Bella and hissed, “What is going on? You said everything was taken care of! The opening ceremony is almost over, and I still didn’t get what I wanted. Did you mess this up? Tell me what the hell happened p>
Bella was just as baffled. “Heather… I don’t know what’s going on either. Ling told me it was done. He said Star Entertainment’s internal network was completely vulnerable p>
“What are you two talking about p>
Annabel’s voice cut in from behind them.
Startled, Heather and Bella spun around. Their shock only deepened when they saw two police officers standing behind Annabel. Ling—the young man in charge of the plan—was there too, standing at Annabel’s side and smiling at Bella.

“Annabel?” Heather frowned in disgust at the sound of her voice, but the moment she noticed the officers, her face changed. “What are you doing?” she demanded.
“I should be asking you the same thing, Heather.” Annabel’s smile disappeared, and her eyes flashed with anger.
Then she turned to the police officers and said, “Sir, it was this woman—” her hand moved past Heather and landed on Bella instead, “—who attempted to break into Star Entertainment’s internal network to steal important company information. That’s a commercial crime, correct? And as for the person she hired p>
Annabel turned to Ling and continued, “He’s here as well. He can testify that everything I’m saying is true p>
Bella stared at Ling, disbelief flooding her face.
Heather’s heart skipped, but when she realized Annabel was accusing Bella—not her—she quietly exhaled in relief.
Bella snapped out of her shock and immediately shot back, “Do you have any evidence that I tried to steal confidential information from your company? Don’t slander me, Annabel. I’ll sue you for defamation p>
