Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 564 - 558: A Good Show (Part 2)

Sue Rooney’s previously relaxed expression changed instantly. She put down her hand and looked at her.

Naomi Kirby’s words were undoubtedly rubbing salt into her wounds.

Her delicate face was tinged with anger: "Secretary Kirby, you said it was because you didn’t make it in time, which means it was your oversight that led to the discord between my fans and Tiana Thorne’s fans. Shouldn’t you apologize to me?"

Naomi didn’t speak to her because, in her view, she had said all she needed to say and there was no need to engage in unnecessary arguments.

Her agent, Zachary Wood, stood up to play the peacemaker: "Let’s just leave this matter be. The fans couldn’t accept the switch all of a sudden without any notice, and no explanation was given for Tiana Thorne taking over. After all, even though Sue’s endorsement wasn’t groundbreaking, she put in hard work. But there’s no point in taking this too seriously, let’s all be understanding..."

"Mr. Wood, isn’t that incorrect?" May Sloane arrived, not to support Naomi, but because she couldn’t stand anyone speaking ill behind her ’Brother Tiana’.

The words were spoken like a peacemaker’s, but they insinuated that Brother Tiana and Coco Candy Corporation were in the wrong, and how much Sue Rooney had suffered.

Isn’t that a man acting like a green tea bitch?

"Miss Sloane?" Zachary frowned.

Having been by Tiana Thorne’s side for some time, May Sloane had also acquired a fearless attitude. She replied coldly, "Is Coco Candy your brand? Why must you provide an explanation to Miss Sue Rooney?"

"Of course, it’s not our brand, but it’s basic courtesy," Sue Rooney said with a smile, her voice icy.

May Sloane laughed, showing no weakness: "Miss Sue Rooney, you signed a contract, didn’t you? The endorsement contract has a term, right? If there’s no renewal, don’t you have any clue? If Mr. Xiao wants to manage his company his way and choose whoever he wants to endorse, does he need your consent? Or do you think being an endorser for a year makes you Mr. Xiao’s right-hand woman?"

May Sloane’s aggressive tone was completely learned from Brother Tiana.

Sue Rooney was furious. She stood up and walked towards her: "You’re Tiana Thorne’s agent, right?"

"Surname Sloane, first name May." May showed no weakness.

In Sue Rooney’s eyes, even though Tiana Thorne suddenly became famous, she was still a junior to her, and being so arrogant towards seniors with such unstable roots, needed to be taught a lesson.

In front of everyone, without a word, she raised her hand and delivered a harsh slap.

After all, this was the territory of Zenith Media, and May Sloane never expected her to be so arrogant. Caught off guard, she took the slap.

The pain traveled from her cheek to her ear with a burning sensation, a metallic taste in her mouth, and her teeth cut into her gums, drawing blood.

Naomi Kirby was slightly startled and walked over to check her injuries.

Sue Rooney curled her lips in an orange-red smile and said slowly, in a cold voice: "I was merely discussing courtesy, yet your words escalated to a personal attack. This slap is to teach you to respect people; after all, the world is not yet Tiana Thorne’s."

Sue Rooney was known in the entertainment industry for her bad temper, often publicly confronting others on variety shows, only for fans to label her as frank and domineering.

Listening to her words, there wasn’t a flaw in them, as if she was truly blameless while May Sloane was the one at fault and warranted being slapped for speaking recklessly.

Finn Pierce had just pushed open the conference room door to witness this scene. His eyes turned cold as he took a few steps over, extending his hand to grasp May Sloane’s jaw, examining her cheek’s injury: "Who hit you?"
