Chapter 84 - Alex VS Alan

It only takes a moment to appreciate the beauty of life, but it also takes that same moment to see the worst thing people can do to you, just to destroy that little moment of happiness.

When Alex got home that night, she knew immediately that something was wrong because Fifi was still sitting in her work suit, focused on her laptop. She sighed and walked up to her to hug her from behind sweetly.

"So, what's going on this time? I had a good time today with the Jensen, but apparently, the party's over, right?"

"You are back, baby girl? As a matter of fact, there's a little something, but how about we talk about it tomorrow? Tell me about your first meeting with your in-law! Don't let your father ruin your day, okay?" Fidelia was really more curious about what had happened at the Jensen's than about the ridiculous scandal that was going on.

"Is it that old man again?" Alex sat on the couch in frustration, as if the mere mention of Alan's name had sapped her of all energy. She looked annoyed and was really tired at the moment. She thought she was done with him, that he had learned his lesson and realised she wanted nothing more to do with him, but it seemed the man just would not listen. "Are you really sure it can wait tomorrow? I really don't want to have anything to do with this man again today, but ..." She really didn't want him to destroy her joyful memories of the day.

"Yeah, don't worry about it, maybe tomorrow there will be a surprise and all this crap will be off the table. Besides, you are a RoyalStar artist now, there's a team to take care of it, and you have me, right? Don't worry, tomorrow will be a good day!!!"

Alex and Fifi did not talk about what had happened that night. Instead, Alex took great pleasure in telling Fifi about her wonderful day at the Jensen's and how happy she felt with Eliott. Fidelia was a good listener for her friend and was very happy to hear and witness all the beautiful changes that were happening in Alex's life. She knew best that Alex deserved this happiness, and she would do everything she could to help her friend have the life she deserved.

Before going to bed, Fidelia took another look at how Alan's post was affecting Alex. Certainly, the number of her fans had decreased, but not as much as such a scandal should induce. She was also surprised to see that most people were just waiting for Alex to speak up without calling her names. That was pretty good news because it meant that Alan's post had not affected Alex much. To mend fences and start her plan PR, Fidelia left a small post before she went to bed.

"If lies take the elevator, truth takes the stairs. But even if it takes more time, truth always arrives at its destination. Let us wait together for the truth!"

The next morning, Alex took extra time to get out of her room. She did not feel like getting up, she did not want to know what nonsense her father was saying about her in front of the whole nation. She felt exhausted, at this point all she wanted was to make a clean break with the Porter family so she could enjoy her life. T

he last thing holding them together was her grandfather's company, and she had managed to get it back. She thought it was over now, but the reality of life had something else planned for her. Thinking of the bad day ahead, she reluctantly freshened up and went to join Fifi, who was already up and working.

"So, how's it going?"

"You are awake? Here, I make us breakfast!"

Alex relaxed a little when she saw that Fidelia was not so worried, maybe things were not as bad as she thought.

"So, what had the old crazy man said about me?"

"Well, just read it yourself..." Fidelia showed Alex Alan's post.

After reading the nonsense Alan had said, Alex could not hold back her anger, this time he had just gone too far. "I gave him a chance to back down and let me live my life, but he just does not want me to do it my way! Now I have no choice Fifi, I am going to show him that he should not mess with me!

This time it's not just about me, he's using Eliott's name and reputation for his ridiculous revenge and talking dirty about my mother who should be resting in peace right now! I cannot let him do that! He must atone for this and this time I will make sure he gets his lesson! If he thought he was the one doing the dirty tricks, I need to show him that I am indeed her daughter!" Alex smiled wickedly and pulled out a recording device from her bag. She had also thought of recording all her conversations with Alan, just in case the old man was up to any dirty tricks.

"Calm down, Alex, I already have a plan to get back at him! Christ already sent me what you recorded that day, all your conversations, he must have gotten it from Elliott. I still have not released it because I know you did not want people to know that KANI was your grandfather company and that Alan had stolen it. If you agree, I will publish it. But there is another problem with the recording.

If I publish it, people will know about the purpose of the deal and things could backfire. Since you are with Ethan, there will be chaos when people hear that you agreed to marry Eliott to get KANI back. That's why I have not released it yet! Do you think it's okay for Eliott to reveal his dual identity? That way things would be clear." Fidelia was conflicted, she couldn't use the recording as she wanted since there were many consequences that could come after!

"Well, that is indeed a problem! Eliott had his own plan to reveal his dual identity. I don't want him to change it because of me, besides, there's no proof that I actually got engaged to Eliott or even met him! I don't think Alan had the guts to record our conversation with the Jensen. So don't worry, I have an idea to avoid further rumours! You can post whatever you want!" She smiled at her friend. 

Fidelia looked at her and understood that her friend must have already thought about an alternative and was determined to get revenge on Alan! Well, that was understandable, Alex needed a good closure with her father, so the best thing to do was to deal with him herself.

In the next minute, Fidelia posted something on the official Alex RoyalStar page, before the RoyalStar PR team released an official statement addressing the issue as well.

"As promised, today I will tell you what is really going on. Alex and Mr. Porter don't have a good relationship as you know. Alex hasn't had contact with her father since she was a teenager, and she wanted it to stay that way until Mr. Porter asked her to meet him some time ago. Alex knew it was not an innocent meeting, and her suspicions proved true when Mr. Porter asked her to help him with something. Alex was only willing to help him if he gave her back her grandfather's company, which he had stolen from Alex's mother when he divorced her. Alex didn't like the way Alan wanted to use her and she loses her temper. That was what everyone on the recording had heard on the audio file Mr Porter had posted.

When Mr Porter asked her to sacrifice her career just to help him, Alex thought about asking for something that was important to her in exchange! So we don't understand why Mr Porter is accusing Alex of blackmailing him when he was the one who started it!

You can hear about it in the audio file attached to this post! We hope you will refrain from helping Mr Porter spread false rumours and search for the truth before slandering people! Alex will do a live in no time to tell answer your question!" 

The statement was long, but Fidelia wanted people to understand where the problem really lies. She wanted to draw the attention of Internet users to Alan, and her posting did not take long to gain all the country's attention.

RoyalStar's explanation was lighter and more covert. That was intentional because they wanted Fidelia's post to get more attention so people could focus on finding out what was really going on between Alex and Alan. "As promised, RoyalStar will be looking into the matter that has been going on since last night about the allegations that Mr Porter made about our model Alex Michell.

As you all know, Miss Alex and her father do not have a good relationship.. We are not in a position to discuss the private life of our artist, but we can assure you that everything Mr Porter has said is completely false and RoyalStar has decided to sue him for spreading false rumours using Alex Michell and Ethan's name."
