About an hour later, another topic became the hot trend.
As planned, Brandon tweeted to support Bianca. He mentioned that, given Bianca’s character, she wouldn’t harm her employees. He insinuated that there might be more to the story that the public didn’t know and encouraged people to give Bianca some time to address the issue.
As soon as he tweeted, some people started to switch sides and support Bianca.
More importantly, some in the entertainment industry who believed in Bianca but were initially hesitant began to speak up after seeing Brandon’s support. They took to Twitter to advocate for Bianca, encouraging more netizens to view the situation more rationally.
When Dave checked the comments on Twitter, he nodded, pleased that things were going as he had expected.
He could have used his influence to silence all the trending topics, but he knew that in this age, the opinions of netizens held significant power. Forcing them down might worsen the situation, which would be bad for Bianca.
Now, the time he had bought was enough for his team to uncover who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Bianca had spent the entire day reaching out to public relations companies. When she returned to her office in the evening, she checked the surveillance video from the week, hoping to find any clues.
But what she saw happening on Twitter surprised her.
The entertainment industry could be harsh and unforgiving. When someone was accused of wrongdoing, others usually distanced themselves to avoid getting involved.
Yet, out of the blue, Brandon had expressed his support for her. Bianca knew he wouldn’t do that without a reason. After thinking for a while, she could only think of one person-Diana.
She immediately called Diana and asked straightforwardly, “Did you meet with Brandon today?”
Diana sat on the edge of the flower bed outdoors, enjoying the cool breeze. When Bianca’s question came through the phone, she took a moment to gather her thoughts before answering, “Yes, I went to see him for help.”
“Did he do anything to you?”
Someone as influential as Brandon supporting her during a scandal must have meant he got some sweet benefits in return.
And Diana was the one who could offer those benefits.
Diana’s voice, with a hint of sadness and carried by the wind, replied, “No, he knows what kind of person you are, so he…”
“Diana, what’s going on between you and Brandon?” Bianca asked curiously.
Diana’s grip on the phone tightened for a moment as she tried to sound casual. “It’s just… you know, the usual stuff between men and women! Anyway, everything turned out fine. Oh, I have something else to take care of, so I have to go.”
With that, she ended the call.
Bianca bit her lip, realizing that Diana was deliberately hiding something from her, but she had no clue what Diana had done to get Brandon’s help.
This situation was starting to affect people who mattered to her. Bianca set her phone down on the table with a firm thump, her fists tightly clenched.
Eager to face whoever was behind this, Bianca continued to study the security footage.
Half an hour later, feeling dizzy from watching the screens, her phone rang.
Her worried expression quickly changed to a smile when she saw it was Dave calling.
She answered cheerfully, “Mr. Evans.”
“I’m right outside your company’s entrance,” Dave soft voice came in.
Bianca was surprised by Dave’s deep, calming voice. She glanced at her watch and saw it was already late at night.
She quickly opened the door and stepped outside, where she saw Dave standing tall and stylish on the other side of the glass door, holding a small bag.
“Why are you here?” Bianca asked as she led him into her office.
Today, he wore a dark gray overcoat, giving him a calm and cool appearance.
A delicious smell filled the room when he placed the small bag on the table. Bianca swallowed and looked at Dave curiously. “Is this something tasty?”
As Dave arranged the food, he talked with his captivating eyes lowered, “I figured you might not have had time to eat with all the company stuff going on. These are your favorites. Eat up; no matter how big the problem, a full stomach is important.”
Bianca looked at the luxurious dishes and felt her heart warm.
Leaning in, she gave Dave a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you so much.”
Dave stopped what he was doing and stood up, gently pulling Bianca closer by her waist.
He stared deeply into her eyes and said, “If you keep tempting me like this, I might not let you finish that meal.”
Bianca lightly tapped his shoulders and whispered in his ear, “You’re more enticing than this meal.”
Dave quickly grabbed her hips and lifted her slightly.
From what Bianca knew about him, she expected the next moment would be a passionate kiss.
She closed her eyes, anticipating it.
But to her surprise, Dave playfully patted her on the butt and chuckled, “Such intense desires, huh? You’re quite impatient, aren’t you?”
Bianca blinked and was looking at Dave’s incredibly handsome face, which had a playful grin.
“You’re teasing me!” She made a fist and playfully tapped his chest.
“Okay, let’s eat. Your health is more important,” Dave said, gently guiding her toward the table and handing her the utensils.
Bianca’s cheeks turned as red as a ripe tomato, and her heart felt warm, making her forget all the worries of the day.
She enjoyed the meal happily while Dave sat beside her, quietly watching with a loving smile on his lips.
As the warm atmosphere subsided, Dave’s phone rang.
He glanced at it, his brows deeply furrowing as he answered the call.
“Okay, I understand.”
After ending the call, he looked at Bianca with a serious expression. “Bianc, there’s been progress in the investigation.”
Bianca quickly stood up from her seat and wiped her mouth. “Really? Was that a call from the police? What are we waiting for? Let’s go to the police station now!”
“No need to rush. Besides, he’s already on his way here,” Dave said calmly, leaning back against the sofa.
About twenty minutes later, the police officer arrived at Bianca’s company. He glanced at Dave but quickly looked away.
“Thank you for coming,” Bianca said politely as soon as they met.
She had planned to go to the police station, but she didn’t expect the officer to come directly to her company instead.
The officer smiled at Bianca and set a laptop and some documents on the table.
He played the surveillance footage, pausing at a specific point. “Look here,” he said, pointing at the screen.
