A few moments earlier. Until that moment, Iris never took any insult hurled at her personally. In fact, she even felt amused sometimes. Although she was now Iris Long, she still considered herself completely separate from the original owner of the body.

The original Iris had a severely damaged reputation. All she cared about were fame and spoiling herself. She was blessed with natural beauty and talent, but because she knew this, she grew complacent and arrogant. Her ill temper rubbed others the wrong way, dragging down their impression of her even further.

The rumours about her sleeping around to advance her career were utter rubbish. After all, she was the daughter of Long Tengfei and a legitimate heiress of the Long family's fortune. She was entitled to inherit, as long as she wasn't officially disowned. Why would an heiress need to sleep around just to advance her showbiz career?

The current Iris had a niggling suspicion that someone was inciting these slanderous rumours behind the scenes. Perhaps she should investigate it later. It was something to think about.

Although the rumours about her being a sl*t and a wh*re were all untrue, it was a fact that the original Iris was a b*tch. She was confident that her status as Long Tengfei's legitimate daughter alone could protect her, no matter what ridiculous things she did. As a result, she had no qualms in recklessly fighting with others who provoked her in any way, like what happened with the Alarm Girls. This was one of the reasons why there was such bad blood between the girls.

The current Iris already tossed the matter of the Alarm Girls verbally attacking her at "MusicFest Tonight". To her, they were just annoying flies buzzing around. She didn't want to waste her time and energy dealing with small, stupid flies like them.

Now, however, was a different matter. These three stupid girls tried to destroy her launch party. She had been anticipating and preparing for this moment for so long. This was supposed to be the start of her music career, which she had been dreaming of since her previous life. How dare they come between her and her dream?

Even worse was that they hurt her band members, some of her fans, and the one which enraged her the most was that they hurt Dominic. For that alone, she had the strongest urge to break all of the three girls' limbs without feeling the least bit of guilt.

This time, it was personal. The Alarm Girls wanted to wage war with her? Fine, she would grant them their wish.

It was now war.

Iris' eyes turned colder with each derogatory word coming out of the hysterical Feifei's mouth. Now that her perspective changed regarding the Alarm Girls, every insult fueled her cold fury.

Her leg whipped into a high sidekick, her high-heeled shoe shooting like a silver bullet towards the screaming Feifei. Her kick was too quick and her shoe flew too fast. Everything was a blur, lending no time for the people to react.

Feifei was hit on the head and she dropped to the floor like a puppet whose strings had been cut. Just a second ago, she was screaming her throat out. Now, she laid unmoving on the floor unconscious.

The people couldn't process what just happened. They could find no words.

Silence.

Iris looked at the security officer beside her and extended her hand like a lady.

Dazed, the man took her fair hand, confused. Did she want to hold hands with him? Was he that handsome? Then a thought entered his mind and he became horrified.

D-did she want to b-beat him up? She wasn't satisfied with beating those three girls, so she set her bloodthirsty eyes on his poor self? He almost pissed his pants.

Iris didn't know that the poor man was treating her like a scary, violent monster in his mind. She ignored his trembling hand, thinking that he was just experiencing too much of an adrenaline rush because of the current situation. The truth was that she only wanted him as support to help her balance on one leg now that she was only wearing one shoe.

"Dom," she called in a voice so gentle, it sounded like crystal bells.

"Yes, boss!" Dom immediately stopped cheering and jogged to her. "What is it, boss? Tell me!"

"Would you kindly pick up my shoe down the stage and bring it back to me?"

"Eh? Oh okay, boss. Right away, boss!" He followed her instruction and returned a few seconds later, kneeling in front of her like a knight to help her wear her high-heeled shoe.

"Thank you, Dom."

"My pleasure, boss. Ehehe."

She removed her hand from the officer's hold. "Thank you."

The man shook his head, his heart racing, feeling as if a deadly monster just transformed into a beautiful goddess. He was still frightened but at the same time, he couldn't stop staring like an idiot at her beauty. His mind was so muddled that he had no idea how to respond to her thanks.

Remembering Dom kneeling in front of the monster goddess just a few seconds ago, he also kneeled in front of her without thinking. However, he looked more like a sacrificial maiden offering himself to the devil than a knight paying respects to his queen.

Iris was taken aback by the man's sudden action. What a weirdo. She blinked a couple of times, then pretended that she didn't see anything.

It took a few seconds before Tang Yiyi regained her senses. When Iris' words finally registered, she nodded her head and immediately started calling on her phone.

"Dom, call my lawyer."

"Yes, yes. On it, boss!" Dom made a phone call as well.

The representatives from JJ's record label and Bright Summit headed to her. They asked worriedly if she was okay. Both of them already concluded that the launch party was a total disaster, a failure.

However, Iris thought otherwise. "Please have someone clean up the stage." Then she turned to the emcee and the musicians. "Hurry up and change into clean clothes. We still have a show to perform. Let's not keep our audience waiting any longer."

"Wait, what? You're still performing?" The representative from JJ's record label couldn't believe her.

"Of course," she replied with a matter-of-fact tone. "The show must go on."
