Chapter 1128
"I don't think you should be leaving when we aren't done with the issue at hand here,” said Marshall.
"Go find whoever did it, then. Get out of my way! This has nothing to do with me," The woman, who was accused of
throwing a glass at Stella by her own sister, sullenly said.
"We will know who the perpetrator is after we check the surveillance footage. You can't leave even if the kid did it
and you didn't, since you're her temporary guardian."
The woman could not hold herself back when she heard that. "So what if it was me? She deserves it! She's
overrated. She bullies her colleagues and would do anything to gain popularity. She isn't worthy of becoming an
actor. I was just helping everyone in eliminating that pest!"
"You've committed a crime and let an underage kid take the blame. After being exposed, you get angry and say
that you did it in the name of justice. Is this what you learn from being a fan of Ms. Young? A role model should

who aren't worthy," Marshall snorted.
Stella looked at Marshall unexpectedly at that time. 'That girl didn't even mention Bella's name when she admitted
to throwing the cup at my head. Whenever fans get into trouble, they would rather remove their fan status than
involve their idol in a mess. But Marshall's words are
implicating Bella. It's like he's pushing everything onto her,' she thought.
"Who's Bella Young? I don't even know her. Don't incriminate me. I'm not a fan of anyone. I just don't like her!" The
woman denied everything as soon as she heard what Marshall had said.
Marshall glanced at the other party in disdain and said," When did I mention the name Bella?" The woman realized
she had fallen into Marshall's trap, and her face changed slightly.
Before she could defend herself, the police and the mail's authorities had arrived at the scene. The police did not
take the incident lightly, especially since it happened in a public space and involved an actor who had been highly
discussed on the internet recently. They questioned the people around and began to retrieve the surveillance
footage.
The two girls who confronted Stella earlier turned pale and tried to escape. However, Marshall had been watching
them from the start. When he saw that they were about to leave, he calmly stopped them and politely asked,
"Where do you think you're going?"
The girls avoided his gaze and said something along the lines of having some errands to run. "What's the rush?
You're already late anyway," said Marshall. He then stared at one of them and continued, "You fell earlier, right,
miss? It just so happens that I will be taking Stella to the hospital. Why don't you come along and get a checkup?"
"N-No. That's fine..." The girl did not dare to go, as she knew that she would be exposed for faking her injury.
"I insist. I don't want you to blame Stella if something happens to you after a few days because you didn't get
yourself checked out. It's easier if we settle things face to face," Marshall said.
"No, no. I'm fine. Really. I-I couldn't get up earlier because I was in pain, but I'm fine now," the girl stammered. She

Marshall nodded in response. "Okay. That's good. Now, let's go to the police station to see how Stella knocked your
phone out of your hand and come up with the appropriate compensation."
'Shit. We can't do that, otherwise, we'll get exposed for taking pictures of her,' thought the girls. The two racked
their brains to excuse themselves, saying that the phone was fine and they had personal matters to attend to.
However, Marshall remained unfazed and insisted on taking legal action no matter what they said.
The police began to ask for their identification, and the woman who threw the cup realized the seriousness of the
matter when she saw their ashen faces. The girls were high school students and were underage. They would only
have to issue an apology at best, but it was different for the woman. She had one year left before her graduation
and was going to apply for graduate school. She then realized that her name would be tarnished if this matter got
out of hand, so she began to feel scared.
"I'm sorry. I was influenced by the comments online. Please forgive me. My graduation is coming up in a year, and
I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate if the school knows about this. Please..."
