Chapter 1118: Depression
“No matter the outcome, I’ll leave the follow-up matters to you after I step forward. That should be enough, right? I promise I’m only fighting for my best friend this time!”
Jane couldn’t accept staying silent this time, even though she felt physically unwell.
But she knew that her voice would be more effective than others if she spoke up. After all, she was the real person involved in all of this.
So she had to step forward, from whichever perspective, to prevent April from sinking further into despair.
If the voices from the online community could be brought to light, it was likely that April would regain her strength.
This was what mattered most to Jane. She didn’t want April to continue feeling as low as she did before.
It would be unacceptable if it started to affect the child or April’s mental well-being in the future.
“April is my sister, and she’s also an artist under my company. Even if a stranger were involved in this matter concerning me, I would still have to speak up.”
“Whether you agree or not, this is what we’re going to do. Even if you disagree, I’ll hold a separate press conference.”
Upon hearing Jane’s words, Patrick reluctantly nodded.
“I’ll handle the rest. You just need to appear at the press conference!”
“Go home and rest. We’ll have other staff members taking care of things here. There won’t be any issues. The press conference will be held tomorrow.”
Patrick knew that holding the press conference the next day meant time was already running out. He had to ensure Jane’s peace of mind.
Seeing Jane nod, Patrick arranged for her to be sent home.
He then began coordinating the situation.
The next day, Jane appeared at the press conference venue. Many gossip reporters and other media personnel were seated, eagerly awaiting the event.
Yesterday, they had already enjoyed a big scoop, and they were hoping for an even bigger revelation.
They had even prepared headlines in advance, but they didn’t expect Jane and Patrick to show up and disrupt their plans.
Jane sat there, her complexion not fully recovered.
After all, it had only been one night, and she hadn’t slept well. How could she rest peacefully when her best friend was in trouble?
So, deep down, Jane felt a sense of self-blame. She thought she had learned about the situation too late.
If she had known earlier, perhaps things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
And if she had gotten out of bed to check on April, maybe she would have noticed something amiss earlier.
But now everything had already reached this stage.
All she could do was make every effort to remedy the situation and hope for a positive outcome.
“I’m Jane, and I appreciate the concern of all the online users. I want to make one thing clear: April is my best friend and an artist under my company. I strictly forbid anyone from defaming April.”
“I don’t know how these rumors started circulating, but I do know that they have caused significant harm to April. We will hold those responsible for spreading false rumors accountable.”
As Jane finished speaking, some journalists stepped forward, hoping to hear the truth about the situation, especially since it involved Jane’s child.
So if Jane could reveal the truth of the matter, perhaps all of this would already have an answer.
Of course, those gossip media reporters also know that if they continue to spread rumors, someone might end up dead.
Now, they listen to Jane, who intends to hold someone accountable, so they dare not create news just for the sake of popularity.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“My child’s condition was caused by my personal health issues. Although this illness is rare in our country, there is still a possibility. Therefore, after discussing with my husband, we decided not to have children.”
“This matter has nothing to do with April. It’s all rumors deliberately spread by those malicious people who targeted April. So, the current situation with April is caused by these individuals.”
Jane grasped the root of the problem. By telling everyone, she was bound to hold herself accountable.
Of course, this was also to quickly quell the online public opinion and guide everyone in the right direction.
Several other gossip reporters raised questions, and Jane addressed them all.
“No matter from which perspective I stand, I must tell everyone, you are wrong, really wrong. You’re driving a person to their death. Each and every one of you is an executioner.”
“If anything happens to April, I will not let the instigators go. Let me reiterate, my child’s issue has nothing to do with April.”
“I thank those netizens who care about me. I also appreciate those netizens who care about April. I hope you can take this issue seriously and guide the conversation in the right direction!”
Jane’s press conference had the desired effect of guiding public opinion correctly. Some netizens had already changed their attitudes online.
Of course, some netizens genuinely wanted to support Jane and were influenced by the uninformed. While others were intentionally stirring up trouble.
Now that they knew they had caused trouble, they certainly didn’t want to escalate the situation further. They didn’t want to exacerbate the conflict.
Since Jane had already stated that she would collect evidence from now on and focus on this matter, holding the netizens and the media accountable.
These netizens also knew that if they continued, they would be the ones in trouble next. It was better to face the situation head-on.
Of course, there were even more of Jane’s fans, and they had already voiced their opinions online.
“We should support Jane, we should support the truth. We need to tell everyone that there is only one truth, and that is Jane, the person we admire. We should support her decision.”
“We shouldn’t put too much pressure on Jane because of her abortion. Now that everyone understands the truth, we can only bless Jane and hope she recovers quickly.”
These were all comments from Jane’s fans, and their rationality deeply moved Jane when she saw them.
Later, Patrick also stepped forward to clarify the situation. He made a solemn statement online.
“Regarding the matter of Jane and our child, it was a careful decision made by the two of us after thorough research. We had to prioritize the well-being of the adults, and even if we wanted to protect the child, it was impossible.”
