Chapter 377
Janet had known well that there were no security cameras around the lake, which was also partly why she hadn’t bothered to assert her own defense.
She simply didn’t see the point—no one would believe her when she didn’t have any evidence to back her up.
But surprisingly someone had filmed the whole thing, and the footage could finally prove that she hadn’t pushed Emani into the lake.
The TV stations feasted on the story, and some of them even went as far as to interview random passersby and ask for their opinion on the matter.
“What do you think of this incident?”
“I honestly think that the standards for artists and celebrities these days have reached a new low. It looks like even an ill-mannered and talentless girl can be a star as long as she looks the part.”
“Yes, I’ve seen the video, and it led me to do a bit of digging. Apparently, Emani hasn’t even graduated from college. She only managed to be where she is now by latching on to some rich old man. With her disgusting character and her questionable morals, I think she deserves to be banned from the entertainment circle entirely.”
“I heard that Emani purposely incited her fans to bash Janet on the Internet. I’m telling you, that woman is crazy! Janet is a good person who’s done nothing wrong, yet she had to suffer such malice. I really feel sorry for her.”
Janet turned off the TV and sighed. She wasn’t expecting the public opinion shift completely in just a matter of hours. Janet had known well that there were no security cameras around the lake, which was also partly why she hadn’t bothered to assert her own defense.
She took out her phone and began reading news about Emani on the Internet. All the brands that she had previously endorsed announced the termination of her contract, and the comment section for each article was bombarded with hate speech against Emani. Even on various social media platforms, this was the hottest issue, and the netizens didn’t hold back with their criticisms.
Emani had done many other despicable things in the past, so people didn’t really find it hard to believe that she had also framed Janet this time. Gradually, they began expressing their regrets in public, and some even apologized to Janet for wrongfully pinning the blame on her.
As Janet scrolled through the social media sites, she realized that Emani’s account had been officially deleted and could no longer be found. She seemed to have been banned from the Internet altogether.
Just then, Janet received a message from Gerda. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I heard that Emani’s Twitter account has been deleted. Serves her right! Finally, the whole thing has been brought to light! I am so pleased with how things turned out.”
The text ended with a couple of cute smiling emojis. Janet pursed her lips and smiled as well.
For some reason, the sight of the comments and her friend’s text brought her comfort. She felt her anger slowly ebb away. At last, this matter could be laid to rest.
“Looks like the trouble Emani caused is finally cleared up.” Ethan stood at the door, a gray, woolen scarf wrapped around his neck. He was carrying a large grocery bag in one of his hands.
Janet turned to him with a wide grin on her face. “Someone posted the footage of us by the lake that day on the Internet. It proved that Emani fell into the water by herself. Now, everybody is apologizing to me. This feels so good.”
Ethan chuckled under his breath. His pretty little wife was so simple and naive. If it were his former self, he would have looked down on her with disdain. But now, he could only feel sorry for the likes of Janet, who often got bullied by the rich and the powerful. He made up his mind to protect her for the rest of their lives, no matter the cost.
Ethan strode across the living room and went straight to the kitchen. “I’ll make some good dishes to celebrate,” he said as he passed by.
Janet hurriedly put on her slippers and followed after him. “Great!” she said happily. “I want to eat some braised pork, please.”
They bickered in the kitchen for a while. All of a sudden, Janet turned pensive. “Don’t you think I’ve been too lucky lately, Ethan? Emani has gotten away with her evil deeds all this time. Why was she exposed now, after so many years? Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”
