Chapter 1023 Splashing Dirty Water
Some relatives had already started throwing accusations, thinking that it was worth taking advantage of the confusion.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
For them, there was no reason to be kind to someone without cause, nor was there unfounded animosity.
So now, Michael standing up to defend Jane definitely indicated that there was a relationship between them.
Otherwise, Michael wouldn’t bother doing something meaningless, especially since his involvement already showed his stance.
“Don’t speak nonsense. Some people naturally know the relationship between Jane and me, but it’s definitely not as you describe.”
After Michael said this, some people started laughing.
“Not as we describe? What do you think we’re saying? The connection between you two is as clear as day.”
“Now I understand why you’re here. Are we mistreating you while we hold the children? Isn’t it a good opportunity to get rid of your worries? You’re pretending to be righteous here, but it’s useless.”
These relatives were deliberately adding fuel to the fire, but Jane’s anger had already taken over.
Regardless of who said such things, Jane directly retorted, and in the end, these people dared not say anything more.
Seeing this, Mike could only address everyone.
“Let’s all calm down. Let’s go back and think about it. We need to find a solution that benefits Jane and all of us.”
“There’s no point in staying here any longer today. Let’s go.”
Mike stood up, and the other relatives had no choice but to leave as well. After all, the argument had already disrupted their intentions.
They didn’t know what the right choice was at this point.
They could only follow behind Mike and discuss how to proceed when they returned to the Pansy family, rather than staying here and continuing the noisy confrontation, which wouldn’t solve anything.
They now understood Jane’s resolute attitude.
When all the relatives of the Pansy family returned home, they sat on the couch and discussed the events of the day.
Mike’s face showed displeasure, but no one thought of any other solution.
“We must share the burden with Mike in this matter. We can’t just leave it like this.”
Beatrice took the initiative to speak, and although the others nodded, they all knew that finding a solution would be difficult.
Without considering other perspectives, there was simply no way to resolve the situation. After chatting for a while, Mike angrily left.
Since no one proposed a viable idea, his departure actually made these people feel relieved.
They had already formed an idea in their mind earlier, but they hadn’t voiced it yet.
Because they weren’t sure if Mike would agree to it, but now that he had left, they weren’t afraid anymore.
When she saw Michael earlier, she already had some thoughts, and she had been contemplating them for a while.
Now that Mike was gone, she smiled and spoke to the relatives in front of her.
“Since Jane doesn’t agree with this matter, let’s force her to agree. Isn’t she taking care of the children at home? Let’s make her unable to be at home.”
“She treats the children like treasures, right? Let’s make her suffer losses in other aspects, so she won’t have time to care for the children or come to us willingly to negotiate terms.”
Harrison’s words puzzled and confused the others, unsure of what method Harrison would use.
Harrison smiled and didn’t tell the others. However, once everyone left, he shared his idea with Beatrice and a few others.
After all, this idea required support and someone to act upon it. When Beatrice heard Harrison’s idea, she immediately nodded.
For her, there was no better choice.
The next day, rumors started spreading on various websites and forums, all revolving around Jane and Beatrice.
Some rumors aimed to tarnish their relationship by suggesting they had a scandalous secret, while others accused Jane of wrongdoing towards Patrick.
In any case, these rumors came from different angles and tactics, as if overnight, numerous concrete pieces of evidence had emerged.
Some people who came across these rumors began discussing them, even though some had known about Jane’s deep affection for Patrick in the past.
However, these people also knew that Jane and Patrick no longer had any marital relationship.
Therefore, based on this fact, they were fueling the online gossip, questioning whether it was true or false.
But by noon, they no longer needed to speculate because someone took the initiative to step forward.
They wanted to find Jane and question her about whether she had done anything to betray Patrick.
These individuals were Jane’s female fans, and whether someone had orchestrated or organized them behind the scenes remained unknown.
It was simply a few female fans who had come to a consensus, while others echoed their sentiments.
So, at noon, these people cornered Jane at the entrance of her company.
Jane had no choice but to face them.
After all, she was aware of these online rumors, and since she hadn’t done anything wrong, she had nothing to fear.
“Are you really so unfaithful? Have you done many things that hurt Patrick? Are those online rumors true?”
“You’ve deeply saddened and disappointed us. The Jane we liked is definitely not the person you seem to be.”
Upon hearing the words of her fans, Jane’s smile carried sincerity.
She knew that if she wanted to regain the trust of these fans, she had to demonstrate her attitude.
“Thank you for liking me, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come here today.”
“I know that every rumor and gossip always serves a purpose when it tries to attack someone. I’m willing to accept the challenge of facing all of it.”
As Jane spoke these words, everyone looked at her, not understanding what challenge she was referring to. She continued addressing her fans.
“Rumors and gossip are fueled by people with ulterior motives, but the truth will never be afraid of anyone’s defamation.”
“I’m willing to let everyone present substantial evidence to prove the authenticity or falsity of any online rumor.”
