Upon hearing this, Yuri looked disappointed. She shook her head, stood firmly beside Fade and said decisively, "Brother Barrett, Fade and I are not at fault here. It's their fault and they should apologize to us."
Immediately, Barrett's face changed and his tone turned solemn. He shouted in reply, "Yuri, Young Master An is not an ordinary man. You must think carefully. If you miss this opportunity, it would be almost impossible for you to progress in the music industry."
There was an underlying threat in his voice.
However, Yuri maintained a determined look on her face as she shook her head and concluded, "We are not at fault and we will not apologize. Moreover, I would rather not be in the entertainment industry if everyone in the industry is like you."
"You, you..." Barrett's eyes darkened and he struggled to speak but to no avail.
Concurrently, the voice of an old man rang through the room. "What's going on? What happened?"
Following that, everyone turned to the direction of the voice and noticed Elder Sun, Erasmus Sun.
Barrett instantly got up to greet him. He supported Elder Sun as Elder Sun entered the room. "Teacher, there has been a misunderstanding. Yuri..." Barrett trailed off.
Up to that point, Barrett looked disappointed. He shook his head and hesitated to continue.
As expected, Elder Sun was curious and asked, "What's wrong with Yuri?"
Barrett pointed at Laird before gesturing at Haward and the others. He had a pained look as he explained, "Previously, Young Master An came. You have instructed us to introduce Yuri to the people within the entertainment industry, therefore I did as I were told and I introduced her to Young Master An."
"However, I didn't expect Yuri to misunderstand Young Master An. Following that, she made a scene by asking Mr. Chen to beat up Young Master An and the others," Barrett sighed.
With a twist of his words, he had made Fade and Yuri the villains.
Immediately, Elder Sun frowned before turning to Yuri and asked softly, "Yuri, what's going on?"
At the same time, Yuri felt wronged and furious. Tears swirled in her eyes and she could hardly speak.
Barrett noticed this and quickly took the opportunity to continue, "Teacher, I think she knows that she was at fault, therefore she had nothing to say. How about we ask her to apologize to Young Master An and we can put this whole matter-"
Before Barrett could finish, Fade laughed loudly and interrupted him coldly, "Barrett, you call yourself a celebrity? I didn't expect you to be so shameless. You're really good at twisting your words!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Someone get him out of here..." Barrett shouted, trying to drive Fade away.
However, Elder Sun knew Fade's identity and he stopped Barrett. "Wait a minute, let Fade speak," Elder Sun declared.
Upon hearing this, Barrett's face changed and he became a little worried.
Fade had little to say. He merely waved his hand and told Elder Sun, "We will know whether it's a misunderstanding or a shameless harassment after watching the surveillance video."
At the mention of the phrase 'surveillance video', Young Master An, Haward and the others were shocked and there was a strange look on their faces.
Barrett wanted to stop Fade as well but Fade was prepared. Fade waved his hand and instructed the staff to play the surveillance video on the TV in the private room.
Barrett immediately tried to speak his way out of it, "Teacher, I knew that Young Master An and the others were coming but I didn't know that they would do such a thing. I..."
Fade sneered again and cut Barrett short, "Haha, are you laying the blame on your companions and Young Master An?"
Suddenly, Barrett froze and his expression was somewhat unnatural. He could still make up with Haward and the others if he made them shelter him. However, he did not have the guts to blame Laird. After all, Laird's family was one of the major forces in the entertainment industry and he could not afford to offend him.
Barrett was deep in his thoughts but Fade glared
at Young Master An and shouted coldly, "Tell me, what did Barrett and Haward tell you? Remember to tell the truth, otherwise, my fists will not hold back."
Young Master An, whose face was already bruised, was shocked. He quickly nodded and replied, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
"Barrett knew that I was in Bay City and he happened to be holding a concert here, thus he invited me to come to his concert. I wasn't interested at first but he knew that I like women, so he arranged for a few beautiful women for me to play with," Young Master An explained.
"So I agreed. However, I noticed that the women that they had arranged for me were of poor quality, so I wanted to leave. However, Haward and others told me that Yuri was here. Additionally, Barrett told me on the phone that she was his junior and that it would be okay to play with her, so..." he trailed off.
Given everything Young Master An had said till that point, he did not need to continue for Elder Sun had understood everything.
Immediately, the old man's face was full of anger and sadness. He stared at Barrett and said through gritted teeth, "How can you do such a thing? You... You actually let Yuri..."
Barrett's face changed. After a moment of silence, his face turned cold and he retorted with a straight face, "Teacher, things like this are no secret in the entertainment industry. In fact, it happens all the time, so it's not a big deal.
