Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Heartbreak_1
The development might not have been great, but at least they could wait until they were completely used up.
But it was this sudden trending search that shattered everything.
Perhaps because of Ginny’s earlier accusations, some people had already assumed that this was Hannah’s doing.
Lucy Taylor wasn’t idle either; she quickly dragged Teresa Gordon into it, "Manager Gordon, we’re just small artists, you must have some clues about this matter, right?"
Forced to join the fray once more, Teresa Gordon could only sigh internally—Lucy had indeed become smarter.
After all, she had been in the entertainment industry for so many years; although she initially had a moment of doubt about Hannah, she quickly figured it out.
This incident really had no meaning for Hannah.
If it had been during the time when the group was first formed, it really could have been Hannah’s doing, but now that the company had agreed to let Hannah go solo, it would be superfluous and even attract criticism for her to do such things.
After all, now there were not a few people online taking advantage of the trending search to scold Hannah for "showing no gratitude to her past."
So, the beneficiary of the situation wouldn’t be Hannah.
A simple analysis made it all very clear.
"Whether it’s buying a trending search or retracting one, these are all just PR tactics in the industry. I still have some tricks up my sleeve for these things. No need to name names—it would just hurt feelings, as she said."
The implications in her words were already very clear.
The phrase "hurt feelings" was exactly what Tiffany Lynch had just brought up, wasn’t it?
Every gaze immediately turned towards her.
Nails, freshly manicured, pressed tightly against the tabletop. Although they didn’t break, the sudden pain brought Tiffany back to her senses.
Ignoring the stares of everyone, she addressed Teresa, "What do you mean by this, Manager Gordon?"
Teresa shook her head, "Nothing in particular, just thinking that if that person feels guilty, an apology would be nice, because, well..."
She deliberately paused, and instantly all eyes were pulled back to her.
"Because, due to this trending search, it looks like the disbandment of the group is about to become a reality."
At her words, everyone’s expression changed.
The dissolution of the group was more beneficial for those members who were doing well, but for Sunny Lee as well as Heather Harrison and Ginny, whose development was restricted due to vote manipulation, it was definitely a blow.
After a long silence,
Sunny Lee finally spoke up at the most tense moment, "Hannah, if you choose to go solo and the group disbands, what will become of us?"
Ginny panicked too, "Right, Hannah Winter, you can’t be so selfish. Just because of you, the whole group has to disband."
Hannah was nonchalant, smiling faintly, "I didn’t buy the disbandment trending search."
That single sentence woke Ginny.
She came to her senses and turned to Tiffany, "Tiffany Lynch, apologize to Hannah Winter and ask her not to leave!"
"Apologize?" Tiffany laughed coldly, looking at Hannah, "Let it dissolve, what does it have to do with me?"
Their gazes met, with Hannah maintaining a calm and composed demeanor, laughter gleaming in her eyes, suddenly tinged with an inexplicable affection, "The temper of my niece-in-law is still as fierce as ever."
Christopher Lee just heard this and was puzzled, "What niece-in-law?"
At that moment, Tiffany panicked, stood up sharply, and pointing at Hannah, she shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!"
The two, one standing and one sitting, somehow made it seem as though Tiffany was lower than Hannah.
Hannah curled her lips, her tone suddenly that of an elder.
