"Seriously, these haters are the worst, spewing their venom because they can't handle howamazing Barbie is. It's sickening how they try to drag her down!"
As the fanatical fans' tirades escalated, more and more of them confronted the mall-goers, the clashintensifying by the minute. Barbie sensed the chaos spiraling out of control. She shoved abodyguard aside and jabbed a finger at Liam, her voice sharp with fury.
"Move it! I've got a grand opening to attend. Be smart and step aside, now!"

The assistant's push only fueled Liam's rage. He stood firm, his eyes icy, a palpable aura of menaceradiating from him.
Liam's eyes narrowed, locking onto the assistant. "Apologize! Or nobody's going anywhere!"
The moment Barbie heard that, her temper flared. She jabbed a finger at Liam and yelled, "Enoughchit-chat, just get him out of here!"
Suddenly, the security guards shifted their stance, their faces turning menacing as they lunged atLiam.
