How could Alice not understand that Ben was warning and threatening her? Her body trembled with anger, but there was nothing she could do.
Right now, she was completely at a disadvantage, and she had no right to refuse.
Thinking of this, Alice pinched her palm, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down. Her voice was stiff as she replied, "I... I understand."
She could not avoid apologizing to Amber in public and explaining the reason.
But she could cover her face during the live broadcast.
In this way, those netizens could not hurt her.
Anyway, they did not say that she could not cover her face.
So naturally, she was allowed to do so.
Alice's expression looked a lot better.
Ben did not know what she was thinking. Ben pushed his glasses and said lightly, "It's good that you know. Then find a time to arrange it yourself. But I hope the sooner the better. What do you think?"
"Yes." Alice lowered her head, covering the darkness in her eyes. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and there was a faint sob in her tone.
Ben did not say anything else.
After all, she was about to face an Internet storm, so it was normal for her to cry.
"Alright, then I'll be leaving. You can go back too. As for the compensation for Mr. Farrell, I will send someone to find you later. You can just give the compensation to that person. Don't appear in front of us in the future."
After saying that, Ben was ready to leave.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Ben stopped and took out the phone to look at it. A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Alice changed.
"Ben, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Alice noticed the change in his expression and asked doubtfully.
Ben put away his phone, suppressed the shock in his heart, and returned to his usual calm and composed appearance. "There's nothing dirty on your face, but it's good news. Mr. Farrell won't let you explain the cause of your apology in public. He just wants you to apologize to Ms. Reed in public."
Hearing this, Alice was surprised for a while, and then her face was full of surprise. "Really? Ben, is this true? I didn't hear it wrong, right? "
She quickly grabbed his arm.
Because she was too excited, the strength in her hand was naturally very strong.
Ben's arm was painfully pinched by her, and he could not help but take a deep breath. "Let go!"
His voice was trembling.
Because it was too painful. Even though he was not wearing thin clothes, he still felt that her nails seemed to have pierced through the cloth on his arm and directly pierced into his flesh.
Thus, it could be seen how much strength this woman had used and how ruthless she was.
When Alice saw that Ben's face was twisted in pain, a trace of pleasure flashed through her eyes. She quickly restrained herself and put on a panicked expression. She quickly removed her hand and said in a panicked voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I am really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. Are you alright?"
Ben looked at the nail mark on his sleeve that had been grabbed and laughed coldly in his heart.
Am I alright?
Even the fabric was scratched with nail marks, so it was easy to imagine that his arm must have turned red at this moment.
Ben covered his injured arm and looked at the woman in front of him with a face full of tears. She looked terrified and did not know what to do. He said coldly, "Did you do it on purpose?"
"What?" Alice was stunned for a moment as if she did not understand what he meant.
"I mean, did you pinch me on purpose?" Ben narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
"How is this possible!" Alice widened her eyes.
She quickly shook her head and waved her hand, "I didn't do it on purpose. Ben, I really didn't. Believe me, I was just too happy. I lost my sense of propriety because of the excitement. Moreover, why would I do it on purpose?"
