Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 568 - 345: Nora Scott Agrees to Join [Escape Room] (3)
[Where are the people who were criticizing Nora Scott last night? Are you too dumbfounded to come out and apologize?]
[Here’s the proof, are certain fans still ranting foolishly now? Does your face hurt from the slap?]
[Watching this makes me so angry, do these old guys deserve to be called ’masters’?]
[When I saw the video last night, I felt there must be a reason for all this. But God Z has been brash with her actions time and again, so I really thought she had done something wrong and just kept watching. Didn’t expect... Is our God Z so easily bullied by you? Is there no one in the comic world to stand up?]
[Ahhh, this is so satisfying! Nora Scott, well done! This is exactly how you should slap them in the face! Hahaha, truly a legendary face-slapping master.]
...
The comic circle, fan circle, and bystanders were all quite angry at the performance of the three masters in the video and spontaneously shared the video for ’clarification,’ increasing the video’s heat compared to last night.

Luna Durant woke up from her sleep, feeling refreshed.
She slipped on her slippers, pulled open the curtains, and opened the window, taking a few breaths of fresh air before grabbing her phone to check Weibo, eager to see Nora Scott being fiercely criticized by netizens.
However——
After scrolling for less than two minutes, Luna Durant was frozen in place.
Stunned for a moment, she quickly dialed her assistant’s number.
"Miss Durant."
Clearly, the assistant learned of the situation before Luna Durant, and her voice was trembling like walking a tightrope when the call connected.
"What on earth happened online?! Why did the program group issue a clarification video for Nora Scott?! How are you doing your job?!"
As soon as Luna Durant started speaking, she unleashed a barrage of criticism over the phone.
One couldn’t blame her for being shocked.
The show has been recorded for two seasons, with many issues arising and no officials intervening except for rare instances to speak out, barely ever siding with individual guest stars.
——For the program group, whether a guest is criticized doesn’t matter as long as the show’s popularity is maintained.
But this time, the program group clearly took a side, promptly editing the video and clarifying it before things got too out of hand, unprecedentedly.
Moreover, this clarification video might have protected Nora Scott but offended the other three masters. If such actions persist, the program group might need to think twice before inviting these people in the future.
Why did the program group act so irrationally this time?
Especially considering, for some guests being heavily criticized, the situation for Nora Scott is on the lighter side.
"I..." The assistant’s voice wavered, offering a soft explanation, "I inquired, and the editing department has fans of Nora Scott’s comics. Initially, they edited out those segments, which were later unanimously rejected by the head of the editing department and the director, so they were deleted. Until last night——"
Pausing, the assistant continued, "When the video surfaced last night, they worked overnight to gain consent from the director and producer, tirelessly editing to produce this clarification video."
Luna Durant was trembling with anger.
These fans really are powered by love!
Their idol wasn’t even anxious, yet they were more invested than a mother!
Taking a deep breath, Luna Durant sensed something was wrong, frowning as she asked, "Why would the director and producer agree?"
"Maybe they’re trying to befriend Nora Scott."
"Maybe?!"
Luna Durant asked sharply.
The assistant whispered, "This episode of ’City Secret’ outperformed ’Escape Room,’ all thanks to Nora Scott’s presence as an NPC."
"Furthermore, whenever Nora Scott faces issues, someone is always there to help immediately, the industry speculates she has a significant background."
"This time is certainly no exception. The director and producer might as well do her a favor before it’s handled regardless."
The assistant’s voice was getting quieter, cautiously completing her statement.
Luna Durant couldn’t bear to listen any further, infuriated, she slammed her phone onto the ground. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Damn it!
Trying to outsmart only to end up worse off!
Originally planning to expose Nora Scott after the show aired, thinking it could prevent the program group from spontaneously altering the program’s content to help Nora Scott dispel rumors, yet the program group’s enthusiasm is astonishingly praiseworthy for the industry.
Previously sharing the screen with Nora Scott already had people comparing them, and after the video was released, Luna Durant’s fans collectively attacked Nora Scott, now with the program group’s unprecedented move——
Well, she’s been dragged into the spotlight once again!
It made her furious.

The online chaos overnight had no impact on Nora Scott, who went to bed early.
It wasn’t until she checked the news during the day that Nora Scott realized she had unwittingly become a hot topic once again, the subject of widespread discussion.
Praised, criticized, all kinds flooded in.
