When the door abruptly closed and almost smashed her face, Bella hit it angrily. "Hmph." Her face had returned to normal, but not in a pleasing way.
What exactly was this old thing doing? Why did he leave so abruptly? Would her title as champion still be secure?
She felt something was off, so she immediately opened the hotel room door, but the director had long since vanished.
So, she could only return to her room, still thinking about what had happened; perhaps she should call Hereward and ask him to assist her in winning this championship.
At that precise moment, her phone rang, and it was Hereward who called.
Bella smiled smugly as she saw his name on the caller ID; his phone call arrived just as she was thinking about him.
She quickly calmed her emotions and answered, "Hereward, I miss you so much. I was about to call you, and you—"
Before Bella could finish speaking, she heard his furious voice over the phone, "Bella Godwin, are you looking for death? What in the world did you do?"
Hereward's roaring voice was about to tear her apart.
She was already dizzy from Director Levin's abrupt departure, and she was even more perplexed when Hereward yelled at her.
Since she didn't know what had happened, she was extremely worried but couldn't do anything except to give a polite laugh due to Hereward's identity. "Hereward, what are you talking about? Why are you being so mean? I'm terrified. Moreover, I wouldn't act arbitrarily without your instructions. I was just getting in touch with 'The Voice's director. If I win this competition, my worth will be greater than what I currently have."
Hereward was upset because of Bella's termination and her viral rumors on Twitter.
Hearing her arrogant voice made him even more enraged and dizzy. He wanted to choke her to death in order to avoid being associated with her. He clenched his teeth and threatened, "I see that you're not aware of what's happening. I told you a long time ago that if you implicated me in anything, I would never let you off the hook."
Learning that something terrible had happened, Bella instantly stopped smiling and asked uncomfortably, "What are you talking about, Hereward? How can I implicate you when I have always done as you have said?"
It must have been a spectacular event to enrage him. Whatever had happened, it could have been related to Director Levin's sudden departure.
"If you can't handle the rumors going around on the Internet, don't blame me for being rude," Hereward said in his refusal to listen to her explanation.
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. It wouldn't be a bad thing for her to be fired, but if Hanson were to conduct a thorough investigation, Hereward would find himself in serious trouble.
Bella's only purpose at this point was to help him clear his name. However, he now regretted his decision. Furthermore, she lacked self-awareness and dared to hopelessly covet Hanson. What wishful thinking.
On the other hand, Bella, who had been hung up on, unlocked her phone in panic.
She didn't even need to check the news. The moment she unlocked her phone, she saw more than a dozen advertisements with her name, Bella Godwin, as the protagonist.
She was stunned. How the hell did this happen? As a result of the stress, her body, especially her hands, began to tremble.
