CHAPTER 558: CHAPTER 558: SO WHAT IF I PLAYED YOU?

"Princess, are you all right..."

Hera hurried to Princess Stella with a worried look, but before he could finish speaking, Stella pushed him away viciously.

"Get lost! When I was being humiliated, why didn’t you step in to stop it?"

"This..."

Hera was at a loss for words and could only lower his head awkwardly.

Earlier, he had been so intimidated by Serena Everett’s powerful presence that his legs went weak, let alone having the courage to intervene.

Stella could naturally see through his thoughts, her gaze turning even colder as she angrily scolded, "Useless!"

Immediately, her venomous gaze landed on Serena Everett, "Once the call connects and my father knows what you’ve done to me, he’ll definitely avenge me!"

By that time, if Celestia applies pressure, she didn’t believe they would completely offend Celestia for Serena Everett!

Serena Everett didn’t stop her from making the call, instead maintaining her lazy demeanor, her rosy lips curving into a lazy smile.

"Oh, I’ll be waiting."

What exactly gives her such arrogance?!

Stella was so infuriated by her nonchalant attitude that she almost went mad, "Serena Everett, you won’t be smug for long!"

In the midst of speaking, the call connected.

Stella’s eyes instantly brightened, and she immediately began complaining with a sobbing tone, "Father, I was bullied in Celestia..."

On the other end of the line, the president of Celestia was already overwhelmed with work and had no mind to listen to Stella, rudely interrupting her.

"We’ll talk about this later. I have something particularly important to ask you right now!"

Stella was startled by the severity of his tone, "Father..."

The president’s anger was barely contained, his voice sounding practically through gritted teeth.

"Stella, whom did you offend in Celestia?"

"What?"

Stella hadn’t had time to react when the president’s angry reprimands echoed again.

"In just a day, our currency was shorted!"

"Do you realize the immense pressure this has put on our economy and severely impacted domestic social stability?!"

"Stella, I don’t care what method you use, you must ask for that important person’s forgiveness, otherwise I won’t have you as my daughter anymore!"

Hearing all this, Stella’s face turned pale, completely dumbfounded.

What important person?

When did she offend an important person?!

In Celestia, she only had run-ins with that bitch Serena Everett, could it be...

Stella suddenly snapped to realization, turning her head to look incredulously at Serena Everett, her voice trembling.

"Serena Everett, was it you who shorted our currency?"

"Of course!"

Before Serena Everett could speak, Jude Ford proudly interjected.

"Who else but my boss could short an entire country’s currency in just one day!"

"This... how is this possible?!"

Stella lost all color in her face, barely able to stand, unable to accept this fact.

How could Serena Everett possibly have such capability?!

Watching Stella’s appearance, Jude Ford laughed carelessly and tauntingly, "Don’t be too surprised, my boss can do anything!"

"Miss Serena, the previous matters were all misunderstandings. The End Material you want, Celestia will deliver it to you as quickly as possible, and we hope you can be magnanimous and not hold grudges!"

Hera’s change of attitude came swiftly; he had previously been hostile towards Serena Everett, but was now incredibly sycophantic.

After all, this was someone who had shorted the currency in just one day, surely backed by significant powers and not someone they could afford to offend!

"Tsk."

Serena Everett lightly pressed her tongue against her back teeth, her exquisite brows adding a hint of rebelliousness, inspiring fear involuntarily.

"Sorry, I don’t know how to spell magnanimous."

"Vengeful, that’s more my style."

Seeing that Serena Everett was unmoved by his apology, Hera anxiously urged.

"Princess Stella, quickly apologize to Miss Serena Everett! Only by earning her forgiveness can we resolve Celestia’s crisis!"

Stella’s eyes were filled with hatred, her heart seething with resentment towards Serena Everett, but she had no choice but to bow.

"I’m sorry... I beg you to give Celestia a way out!"

She spoke each word like it was being squeezed out from between clenched teeth, filled with intense hatred and unwillingness.

"Hmph!"

Jude Ford huffed coldly, intentionally mimicking Stella’s previously arrogant stance.

"Getting my boss’s forgiveness isn’t that simple!"

Stella bit her teeth in resentment, her eyes turning red with tears, "You’re just trying to humiliate me, right? Fine, I agree to admit to the world that I’m a failure, as long as you spare Celestia!"

Serena Everett said nothing, only staring at her with calm eyes.

Stella, suppressing her humiliation, began the live broadcast with tears in her eyes.

Due to her high-profile actions and vast Twitter following, her live broadcast attracted a large audience as soon as it started.

Stella’s face was particularly grim, but she had no choice but to speak, admitting to tens of thousands in the live stream that she and Celestia were failures.

"Has the Celestia Princess gone mad?! Publicly slandering her own country!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, even the Celestia Princess admits Celestia is a failure, I guess Celestia really is a failure, hahaha!"

Reading the taunting comments from the live chat, Stella’s tears couldn’t help falling, a fierce resentment rising in her heart.

Now, she and Celestia had become a global joke... all thanks to Serena Everett!

Watching Stella’s tears, there wasn’t a ripple in Serena Everett’s eyes.

This was all her own doing.

Stella took a deep breath, suppressing her hatred as she looked at Serena Everett, "I’ve done as you asked, when will you stop against Celestia?"

Serena Everett innocently blinked her pretty eyes, casually saying, "When did I ever promise you that I’d stop after the live broadcast?"

"Exactly, when did my boss agree to that?" Jude Ford immediately chimed in with a cheeky grin, "You admitting worldwide that you and Celestia are failures was just fulfilling the previous promise."

"How dare you deceive me?!"

Stella couldn’t contain her emotions any longer, rushing madly in front of Serena Everett and raising her hand to slap her face.

The girl slightly raised her eyelids, her cold gaze landing on Stella, intensely oppressive.

"So what if we deceive you?"

Just a casual glance made Stella feel a chill all over, her hand freezing in the air, not daring to slap down.

"Jude Ford." Serena Everett couldn’t be bothered to stay and waste any more time, "Let’s go."

Jude Ford promptly complied, "Sure thing, boss!"

At that moment, Stella’s hatred knew no bounds, but she dared not act out against Serena Everett, so she directed all her resentment and humiliation towards the nearest female staff member.

Picking up a heavy sword nearby, she swung it viciously at the staff.

"Ah..."

The staff member didn’t dodge in time, letting out a terrified scream.

If that sword landed, her face would be ruined!
