“Ladies and gentlemen of the press,” he said calmly, “we’ll take every concern you’ve mentioned seriously and make the necessary improvements.

“As for Gianna’s future in the company, Nygard Group will carefully evaluate and plan her next steps–there’s no need for you to worry about that.”

Since Gianna was now officially under Nygard Entertainment, Marcelo didn’t need Emery’s reminder–he could smooth things over himself.

Still, regret gnawed at him.

If only I hadn’t lost my mind back then—if I hadn’t defied the shareholders and started this damn entertainment company just for Gianna.

That way, I would never have given Amelia the ammunition to mock me or made myself look like a fool in front of the board and investors.

It’s this ridiculous company that has held me back, tarnished my image, and made people question my leadership.

To be exact, Gianna dragged me down. That idiot!

Gianna, unaware of his thoughts, finally relaxed a little when he spoke up for her.

But then, in his usual cold and detached tone, Marcelo continued, “The whole point of this press conference is to publicly show that we sincerely apologize to Ms. Amelia and Ms. White.”

He turned to her. “Gianna, why aren’t you apologizing?”

The icy look in his eyes made her shiver. She knew she ultimately had no choice.

So she nodded meekly, then turned to face Amelia and Selena with a composed, almost gracious expression, as if saying, Fine, since I have to say it anyway, might as well do it with style.

“Ms. White, Amelia, about the lip–sync scandal and the rumors involving Vincent—things weren’t the way people said, and I want to sincerely apologize to both of you here.

When she finished, she didn’t just toss out an empty apology—she bowed deeply, with perfect

The gesture gave the impression that she genuinely felt remorse and was ready to take responsibility.

To be fair, that attitude did soften some casual fans who didn’t know the full story.

Now, though, he could see it clearly. This manipulative woman was cleverly implying that she had been too naïve back then, which was why she had followed the company’s orders.

Wow. Just wow.

She wasn’t the confrontational type; since Gianna had apologized and admitted Selena was the real singer, she didn’t want to push things further.

“Thank you, Ms. White. Thank you, Amelia,” Gianna replied sweetly, though she was fuming inside, itching to slap them both.

She watched Gianna closely, glancing at Marcelo too.

Does this idiot really think he can clear her name that easily? That depends entirely on whether I let him.

“It really wasn’t like that,” Gianna insisted quickly. “I know you and Vincent were already over. and we only started seeing each other after you broke things off.”

Even though there’d already been evidence proving otherwise, she refused to admit it. She’d rather die than confess.

After all, the internet forgets. Old scandals fade, and people move on.

And of course, there were always a few gullible fans ready to believe her story that those photos and videos were all Al–generated fakes.

“Oh?” Amelia’s lips curved. “So what–you want me to release some hard evidence?”
