Before the earlier incident with Ethan near the school and the registration day trouble, everything had only happened within their own department. But this was the university-wide orientation ceremony, and there were plenty of people who had never heard of Iris before.
However, they were all die-hard fans of Kaelan.
Seeing their beloved idol become a mere backdrop for an unfamiliar woman, they immediately felt a surge of anger. They recorded videos and uploaded them online, starting a wave of
criticism.
“What’s wrong with Capital University? Is this some kind of corporate manipulation? They’re making a popular celebrity act as a supporting role for a female student!”
“Exactly! I feel like Kaelan looked so unhappy while singing today. There was no light in his eyes at all.”
Sophie stood below the stage, feeling anxious as well, but there was nothing she could do.
Could Iris really handle this?
Still, Iris’s words made sense. There was no point in panicking here when she couldn’t help solve anything. She would wait until the performance ended and ask Iris what they should do.
After listening to part of Kaelan’s song, however, she found herself seeing things differently from everyone else.
Why did she feel like Kaelan actually looked like he was enjoying himself while singing?
Meanwhile, Chloe was extremely satisfied with the situation. She stood below the stage with her arms crossed, happily watching Iris.
‘Let’s see how you’re going to fix this.’
From a distance, she noticed Ares Barclay sitting in the VIP section. She immediately walked
over.
Everyone knew she was the daughter of the Noir family, so no one really stopped her. Whenever someone asked, she simply said that Richard and Eleanor needed to discuss something important with Ares.
As it happened, a guest sitting beside Ares had just left early due to an urgent matter.
Chloe walked over and sat down beside him.

“I didn’t expect my sister to like Kaelan. Well, that makes sense. Kaelan is so popular now. Not only is he a great actor, but he’s also an amazing singer, and he’s handsome too. I guess this counts as my sister successfully becoming a fan of his…”
She paused, then looked at him with concern.
“Ares, are you okay? Your complexion doesn’t look very good.”
“I’m fine. But Miss Chloe…”
Ares continued staring at the figure behind the folding screen on stage.
“You walked all the way over here from the audience seats just to tell me this?”
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Chloe. Instead, he glanced at Julian.
Julian immediately walked over.
“What is it, Mr. Barclay?”
“After this performance ends, I’m going on stage as well.”
A spark of delight flashed through Chloe’s eyes.
‘He’s going on stage too?’
He didn’t look very happy right now. Could it be that he was going up there to embarrass Iris or
Kaelan?
No matter what happened, Iris would definitely suffer.
Once Iris’s identity was exposed, the public opinion about her using connections to manipulate a celebrity would inevitably affect the Noir family.
Her parents would become even more disappointed in Iris.
And even Ares would be disappointed.
“Do you need anything else?”
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Chloe smiled and stood up.
“Nothing important. I just wanted to remind you that many wealthy young ladies like to get close to male celebrities in the entertainment industry. Those men are especially good at pleasing women. They don’t care about status or commitment-they only care about money.”
She deliberately added:

“I’m not saying my sister is that kind of person. I’m just talking about a general situation.”
After finishing her sentence, Chloe turned around and walked away.
As she left, she deliberately swept her long hair behind her shoulders and removed her coat, holding it in her hand. She wanted to leave Ares with an elegant and alluring view of her back.
Unfortunately, Ares didn’t even spare her a glance.
Seeing Ares’s unpleasant expression, Julian asked with concern.
“Mr. Barclay, your complexion really doesn’t look good. Even Miss Chloe noticed it. Should you rest for a while? I can arrange for you to go on stage near the end of the program.”
Ares refused.
“No need. Iris’s performance won’t take long. I don’t want to miss a single minute.”
Chloe had assumed Ares looked unhappy because Iris was performing with Kaelan.
But the truth was completely different.
His tired expression was only because Emma Barclay had caused trouble again yesterday. She had even argued with him, and the two of them had gone back and forth until midnight before finally resting.
He had another meeting and work early in the morning, so by now, he was exhausted.
Chloe happily returned to her seat and continued watching the stage.
As the performance approached its end, the criticism directed at Iris became louder and louder.
She took out her phone, preparing to record this moment.
Later, she planned to upload it using another account and purchase traffic to push it toward a specific audience-people like Richard and Eleanor.
