Brielle snorted at this, a confident Look on her face.

After a pause, Ariana continued, “But that's not as good as the gift you got from your admirer earlier this morning. No wonder the company is backing you with so much money. You already have crazy fans even before your debut. Looks like you need to be careful going out these days."

Brielle's face turned pale. The image of that horrible chicken head came into her head, and she felt the fear return. There was nothing she could say to argue with Ariana.

"Oh, you didn't know about that, Jasper? I thought Brielle would've come running to you as soon as it happened." Ariana pretended to be surprised.

Jasper's frown deepened.

“What are you hiding from me?" he asked, staring at Brielle.

"You did that on purpose Jasper!"

“How could I have done that on purpose?" He looked as if he had been wronged.
