The following days were extremely busy for Iris. She officially began her education as a Cross Academy student. Despite this, she still continued working as usual.
Iris was currently one of the hottest figures in showbiz with the continued success of her album "Rebirth", her upcoming album "Rebirth Melodies", and her appointment as official composer to a still unknown film. People were constantly talking about her.
Suddenly, news came out about the Alarm Girls. A court hearing was finally scheduled for their case of assaulting Mr. Chen’s secretary, in addition to the slew of other charges pressed against them by the nail polish company.
In addition to this, someone bailed them out of jail, even providing them with a lawyer. Even more surprising was that the lawyer was from a well-known law firm. It appeared that the girls managed to snag a powerful supporter.
A conspiracy theory quickly became popular online. It said that the girls’ mysterious supporter must be an Iris Long hater.
With some digging, it was revealed that the lawyer’s firm was fierce rivals with the law firm of Iris Long’s lawyer. It should be remembered that Iris Long’ lawyer also pressed charges against the Alarm Girls for the incident during her launch party. Plus her injured fans took a class action lawsuit against the three girls with another lawyer financed by Madam Feng Wan and her friends. However, the court hearing for these cases had no schedules yet.
The theory also pointed out that ever since the Alarm Girls were bailed out, they always made sure to blame Iris Long for their predicament during interviews, even though the current case they were facing was the one against Mr. Chen’s secretary and the nail polish company.
With these observations, it really seemed like someone intended to taint Iris Long’s name and reputation, especially now that her star was on the rise.
Of course, Iris heard about all of these. Her assistant was a big chatterbox after all.
"Boss, look at this!" Dom showed her the news on his phone. "Which stupid a**hole gave those three b*tches a d*mn lawyer?! And they’re still spouting bullsh*t about you! Such evil! They’re not humans. They’re scum!"
Iris was doing a translation exercise on her laptop. It was an assignment given by Professor Hisakawa. She just finished the one Professor Schwarz gave her.
She only gave a cursory glance at the phone before ignoring it, focusing once again on her assignment.
"Boss! They’re too much! They’re clearly up to no good. I’m so upset!"
Iris sighed, a bit annoyed of being disturbed. "Dom, don’t waste your time and energy on them. It’s not our turn yet to fight against them. They still need to face the nail polish company first. They’re just trying to provoke us. We have more important things to do at the moment than react to their petty jabs. Let’s focus on our work, okay?"
Dom pouted and grumbled before reluctantly nodding. "Okay, boss. It’s just that I have a bad feeling about this, especially about that b*stard who’s supporting them behind the scenes. I wonder who it is. Should we investigate?"
If Iris wasn’t so busy, she would’ve already investigated it. But at the moment, she just had no time to spare on the Alarm Girls and whoever was supporting them.
She was now moving forward with her life. To her, the Alarm Girls were just brief stumbling blocks on the road. Why look back and start concerning herself again with insignificant roadblocks when she was already running forward?
