<b>“</b><b>Hey</b><b>, </b>everyone, good evening.” Tristan swept a hand through his hair<b>, </b>the <b>picture </b><b>of </bid<b>–</b><b>back </b>ease and effortless charm.
More and more people flooded into the livestream, virtual gifts flying across <b>the </b>screen. Tristan shot a quick look at the crew, and soon after, the gift feature was switched off.
He didn’t dive into the main topic right away. Instead, Tristan fielded a few casual questions from fans, warming up the atmosphere. Once things were rolling, Fitch’s fans began to arrive, and the previously friendlyment section immediately turnedbative.
Lillian kept an eye on the official website. As soon as thetest update popped up, she signaled Tristan with a quick gesture.
Tristan turned his gaze back to the camera. “Who would’ve thought? Me, Tristan, getting used of bullying the neers. Live long enough, and you’ll see everything.” He delivered the line with a crooked smile, clearly unbothered, as if the whole issue was just another joke.
“Kids these days, huh? Manners really aren’t what they used to be.”
“Me? I’m already an old–timer.”
“Little Tristan? Sure, I’m getting on, but I’m still here. No need to find a stand–in just yet.”
“Thepany put out a statement? Come on, be good–don’t go picking fights. Is my face really that boring now? You’d rather argue than watch me?”
‘Just wrapped up a movie recently. Want new music? The sweeter you are, the faster I’ll release it.”
Even though Tristan came off as easygoing, there was an undeniable sincerity in the way he spoke to his fans. In the industry, genuine personalities were rare, especially among the stars at A&C Entertainment. Tristan, the poster boy for hard work and fan service, was a fan favorite for a reason.
Not only was he talented and good–looking, but he’d built his career step by step, earning a devoted following without ever letting it go to his head. He kept honing his craft, and even the casual viewers found themselves drawn in.
The livestreamsted nearly an hour. Before signing off, Tristan reminded everyone once more not to argue or cause trouble, promising he’d stay active and engaged.

After thepany released its official statement, Fitch’s side also responded–this time with a direct video message.
They’d wanted to go live as well, but quickly realized most people were glued to Tristan’s stream. Left with little choice, they recorded a video instead, though Candace suspected this might actually be for the best. Knowing Fitch’s temperament, she worried a live broadcast would have devolved into a heated shouting match with viewers.
Candace understood the power A&C Entertainment wielded, but right now, Fitch was her only way forward. On top of that, they were dating. No matter how she looked at it, Candace had but one option.
“Good evening, everyone. Sorry to take up your time. As someone just trying to make a living, I feelpelled to speak out against unfair contracts and unjust treatment. I n to defend my rights using thew. If someone with hundreds of thousands of followers like me can be treated this way, what hope is there for anyone else?”
“I signed with A&C Entertainment on August 15th. My agent told me I already had a solid fanbase and could debut within a month,plete with a solo single. But just when I was about to debut, thepany decided to promote someone new and took my song away. When I spoke up, the manager dislocated my arm.”
“I’m not asking forpensation. I just want answers–from thepany, for myself, and for my fans. All I want is an apology.”
