Chapter 149 Empty handed
Luke's words carry a lot of weight in Xicheng.
As soon as he says those about Jessica, the reporters below the stage couldn't resist any longer. The reporters have a lot of questions because of the news during this period. However, most of the online comments are bias against Jessica causing her reputation to be in tatters. Journalists always conform to the 'public opinion'. That's why even if there's a differing opinion if it doesn't cause any ripples, they will not pursue it.
But now things are different.
It's obvious that Luke never picks a fight that he can't win.
"You are casting wild allegations..." Jessica can sense the mood below the stage and panics.
Lilian coolly glance at her.
"Miss Vogt, please maintain your composure. Mr. Lu never wrongs a good person."
After saying that, she turns to the reporter below the stage and says calmly, "I'm Lilian, Mr. Lu's secretary, if you have any questions, please raise your hand and ask me. Mr. Lu is busy and needs to leave soon."
As soon as she says that, the reporters anxiously raise their hands.
Jessica looks towards Myles who was observing at the sides.
He frowns and was about to stand up when Luke's two bodyguards stop him while the personal bodyguard of Luke is looking at Myles, crackling his knuckles and looks at Myles coldly.
Mr. Hopkins, I'd like your explanation on a matter that happened three months ago."
Myles' expression changes when he thinks back to what he and the boss of Jade Picture did. Suddenly his heart panics.
"You... what explanation do I have to give? This is Brilliant Entertainment, my territory..."
"Really? You're deciding what to do on someone else's territory. Being with Mr. Lu so many years I've also done several times."
After he finishes saying, Tom's hand ruthlessly slapped onto the sofa seat, scaring Myles to cower with his hands covering his head not daring to speak a word.
"You..."
Tom bends over to see Myles holding to his head like a frightened mouse and laughs while a chilling light flashes across his eyes.
"Mr. Hopkins, just quietly watch the show, I'll give you and advise. Don't go and get involved, otherwise, you'll be in the same situation with Miss Vogt but now it'll be all the people of your company." Myles stares at Tom for a while and slowly lowers his hands. He looks discontented but he didn't do anything else thereafter."
He can only hope that this Jessica has her own abilities as he coolly glances at the stage.
When she sees Myles' expression, Jessica's heart shivered.
At this moment, Lilian relentlessly bashes her into hell to be condemned eternally.
"This is the pregnancy test from the hospital, on it is the doctor's signature and the hospital stamp. The doctor who was paid by Jessica to cover up this matter has been fired by the hospital. When necessary, this can be proven by the courts. The pregnancy report stated clearly that Jessica's pregnancy was very unstable and the doctor suggested to terminate the pregnancy but she repeatedly refused and wanted a traditional treatment. The latest pregnancy report by the hospital's maternity doctors collectively recommended terminating the pregnancy. They even warned her that if she doesn't terminate the pregnancy, the consequences will be very severe. Not only the baby may not survive, the mother's life could be at risk."
Lilian reads in accordance with the pregnancy report and then glances at the pale Jessica. She emphasizes each word, "But under such circumstances, Jessica chose to bribe the doctor to keep the truth form everyone about her situation. Thereafter everyone should be familiar with her miscarriage. Whether it was our company's Jenny who pushed her that caused the miscarriage, this has to be investigated. Before this issue can be clarified, she is using public opinion to gain pity, this is making a mockery of everyone."
The reporters become frenzy when they heard about the pregnancy reports.
When Lilian finishes, immediately someone asks, "Then what you mean is Jessica intentionally used the baby to harm Jenny. But why? Aren't they good friends?"
"This will lead us to another explosive issue." Lilian calmly keeps the pregnancy report and opens another document, waving it from the stage.
"This is the relationship history between Jessica and the company's Mr. Frankie. Everyone also knows that their relationship grew with time. But Miss Vogt said that Jenny stepped in when they were about to get married. With regards to this matter, I'm afraid that I have to lay it out slowly for you and Miss Vogt."
Lilian closes up the document and tosses it towards her assistant. “Go ahead and circulate and take your pictures. Reporters here know that about three months ago, our company's artist Jenny went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit and became your tabloid news. Now it should be clear to you who this test kit was for."
Everyone shifted their attention to Jessica who had a miscarriage.
If the dates are counted, Jenny's abdomen didn't have any reaction but at that time Jessica's pregnancy was all over the news. This pregnancy test kit was for who, they should know.
That's why the news at that time wrongly accused Jenny.
"So we may have wrongly accused Jenny, bot now what about the third party issue?"
"Third-party?" Lilian laughed coldly, "These are affairs of the heart, and we as outsiders can't interfere. Who was the third party isn't a discussion point. But in the end, there is a winner. Can you all see who is the winner?"
Jessica's wedding preparation to a wealthy family has been on the internet headlines for a long time. The winner in life will be continuously admired. From the looks of it, Lilian's words are already very clear. If it's not because of this child, perhaps she already has a luxurious life.
The reporters started to murmur and they collectively pushed the microphones to Lilian and wanted to ask for more juicy information.
Jessica was so flustered that she lost her composure. She looked around and realized that the tables had been turned against her. Initially, she had sharp reasons but now the reporters had defected. "No, you have turned black to white. You are all bias towards Jenny and this is the reason why I left the company."
She yelled furiously, "Luke obviously was involved with Jenny, and it's all favoritism..."
Lilian frowns and glances at the frenzied woman and then looks towards Luke, seeking his opinion.
Luke nods gently, stands up, and left the place.
He has already lost his patience with this woman. Since she can't bring any good influence for Jade Picture, and now it's all negative news, it's better to just end it here.
Lilian's expression turns cold and squints at Jessica, "From the moment Miss Vogt established herself with Jade Picture, she has spent time with lots of customers. It was after Luke Up Group took over Jade Picture that much of the improper practices were stopped. Miss Vogt, are you trying to show that you are unhappy with this?"☐☐☐☐☐
