Chapter 8: Chapter Eight: Big Brother's Protective Streak

Xiaomeng bowed slightly, her voice filled with apology, "I'm sorry, Miss Fanny. The studio has been booked for today, and this little lady is our VIP guest for today."

"Are you kidding me? This little brat?"

Roxanne Fanny pushed aside the person blocking her way, "With my status in the entertainment circle, no one dares to stop me!"

After saying that, she walked to the makeup mirror, grabbed Gemma Bessemer's collar, lifted her up and threw her aside.

Gemma Bessemer hadn't even reacted when her short legs flailed in the air twice before falling to the ground.

Xiaomeng was terrified and tried to stop her, but it was too late, "Oh - Miss Fanny, don't do this, she is..."

Roxanne Fanny impatiently interrupted her, "Anyone who talks nonsense will be asked to leave immediately!"

"Who should leave?"

A steady and powerful voice came from outside the door. Everyone turned around and quickly moved aside to make a path in the middle.

A tall man wearing a finely made suit walked in. Roxanne Fanny saw him and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Xia Yuzhe, what a coincidence? Are you going to tonight's party? I don't have a male companion yet, if you don't mind..."

Roxanne Fanny walked over, her hands eager to hold his arm, the greed and ambition in her eyes were obvious.

Xia Yuzhe is the most unique existence in this circle. The strong power of the Bessemer Group behind him makes him completely unnecessary to attend some sycophantic parties.

Xia Yuzhe has always been independent and unapproachable to women. Being able to have any relationship with him would definitely smooth the road to acting.

Roxanne Fanny was still dreaming, but Xia Yuzhe directly pushed her hand away, his tone cold, "Sorry, I'm not interested in such boring gatherings."

Roxanne Fanny stood there awkwardly with empty hands.

He went straight to Gemma Bessemer, who immediately ran over and hugged his leg, her words filled with infinite grievances, "Murphy..."

"What happened? Why are you looking so miserable? Did someone bully you?"

Although he was complaining, his hands weren't idle. He picked up Gemma Bessemer and held her tightly in his arms.

The eyes that usually picky and nitpicky were now gentle enough to drown a group of people.

Everyone looked on in amazement.

The legendary emperor who hates being close to anyone, is now holding a cute baby wearing a pink chiffon dress?

This shocking scene scared Roxanne Fanny like a puppet standing there, and when she thought about how she didn't take this little kid seriously just now, she felt a mix of emotions.

Silence all around, only Xia Yuzhe's soft voice could be heard as he comforted Gemma Bessemer. Gemma Bessemer, however, only pouted and remained silent, her eyes red and her eyelids drooping as she buried her little face in his neck without a word.

Feeling her low spirits, Xia Yuzhe immediately turned cold.

Turning around, he looked at Xiao Meng from afar, "What just happened?"

"Mr. Bessemer, we have already cleared out the studio for you, but Miss Fanny Qi insisted on having her makeup done now for tonight's party..."

Before Xiao Meng could finish, Roxanne Fanny quickly interrupted her to explain, "Yuzhe, it was all a misunderstanding. I saw no one in the makeup room and thought the staff were fooling me."

She turned her face, glaring angrily at Xiao Meng, "Why didn't you say that Yuzhe had booked the studio? You're tricking me!"

Xiao Meng ignored her, immediately lowering her head and walking up to Xia Yuzhe to bow deeply, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bessemer. This is my fault."

Roxanne Fanny's unreasonable behavior is well-known. She uses her fame to bully others, and Xia Yuzhe knew exactly what was going on.

"It's not your fault."

He placed his large hand on Gemma Bessemer's back, soothing her with gentle strokes, saying calmly, "End the cooperation with Miss Fanny Qi. As compensation, this will be the only studio I work with from now on."

This statement was like a bolt of lightning, shocking everyone.

Roxanne Fanny is at least a top-tier actress in the industry, and has strong relationships with her partners. Xia Yuzhe's words meant she would never again have the opportunity to enter D.m.

She might be the first actress in history to be kicked out, what a disgrace!

Roxanne Fanny panicked, feeling dizzy and weak in the knees, almost falling to her knees.

"Yuzhe, I... I was just impulsive, please give me another chance!"

Xia Yuzhe didn't even look at her, softly asking Gemma Bessemer in his arms, "Brother did this for you, are you still sad?"

Gemma Bessemer looked at Roxanne Fanny's anxious expression, a cold glint flashed across her eyes, then she weakly consoled, "Murphy, you're too harsh. This auntie only hit me once, isn't it too pitiful to punish her like this?"

Xia Yuzhe immediately frowned, Roxanne Fanny actually dared to lay a hand on Anan!

"All entertainment resources under the Xia Corporation will exclude you. Someone without artistic integrity doesn't deserve this position."

Roxanne Fanny was completely stunned. The Xia Corporation controls half of the entertainment industry. If Xia Yuzhe speaks, she will surely face great difficulties.

And all of this was due to Gemma Bessemer!

Gemma Bessemer still looked innocent, resting her head on Xia Yuzhe's shoulder, seemingly pure and harmless, but Roxanne Fanny clearly saw her gloating in her eyes. She doubted her eyes, but the hint of mockery in Gemma Bessemer's eyes was crystal clear.

Roxanne Fanny was unwilling to be outsmarted by a child and angrily said, "How can you lie with your eyes wide open? You're full of lies!"

Xia Yuzhe's face was as calm as water, his gaze unfriendly as he stared at Roxanne Fanny, his tone stern, "If you don't want to eat this actor's meal, keep talking!"

Roxanne Fanny was like she had been cast a spell, resentfully staring at Gemma Bessemer, but dared not say another word.

Everyone watched as Xia Yuzhe carried Gemma Bessemer away. Roxanne Fanny's face was ashen, Gemma Bessemer's mocking gaze always appearing before her eyes.

She called her assistant over and whispered, "Now, do something for me immediately."

Xia Yuzhe appeared in the hall carrying Gemma Bessemer, while Frederic Bessemer and Channing Bessemer had been waiting for a long time.

Xia Mocong sat on one side, fiddling with a palm-sized computer.

Channing Bessemer saw the two of them and his face darkened slightly, "What's going on upstairs? It's so noisy."

Xia Yuzhe didn't answer, his gaze searching for Winfred Bessemer's figure, "Where is that Winfred Bessemer guy? Let him come out to see me right now!"

His tone was cold, his gaze sharp like a knife.

Winfred Bessemer had just appeared at the top of the stairs when he was scared by his murderous gaze and shrank back.

"Come here." Xia Yuzhe put Gemma Bessemer down, "You better explain to me what you were doing just now? An'an was bullied!"

"I... cough."

Winfred Bessemer couldn't explain himself, Gemma Bessemer puffed out her lips and quietly answered for him, "Winfred went to play with the beautiful sister."

Winfred Bessemer wanted to stop it but it was too late. He looked up and met the gazes of several people that could cut him into pieces, instantly feeling guilty and lowering his head.
