Chapter 1529

• Not long after the controversy erupted, Nuella posted an apology online. However, in her statement, she shifted the blame onto Kazee. Some of her loyal fans chose to believe that their idol wasn’t capable of such actions, but the majority saw through her attempt to deflect responsibility. No matter what she said in her defense, it couldn’t undo the damage done to the Kang family’s reputation and business.
• Meanwhile, Izara and his father, Shane, were feeling the pressure. Shane, more interested in personal matters than business, had pushed the burden of handling the company’s issues onto his son. But Izara was increasingly frantic. He could think of no effective solutions, and he worried that the public backlash against Nuella would only grow stronger. Still, Nuella seemed to sense his unease. Calmly, she reassured him, saying that the issues with the company had already weighed on him enough, and there was no need for him to worry about her. After all, she had only been scolded a few times, and she didn’t take it to heart.
• She spoke softly, her voice tinged with sadness. “It’s really my fault. I deserve to be scolded for what happened. Liza only wants to get back at me. If you try to speak up for me, it’ll just make her angrier. She’ll think you and Dad don’t care about her and only pamper me, the adopted daughter. I don’t want you two to feel torn.”
