"Jessica, what the hell is going on?"Tanner came in without knocking on the door and began to blame Jessica, who was sitting at her desk. "We have finally quieted down the Internet users. But why is the public outcry sparked again now?”"Those paid posters have a point. You and Hammer are not weak. Why can’t you lead public opinion? Why are you guys always affected by it?"Jessica and Hammer were the pillars of Jakesville TV Station. It would be badly affected if either one of them was involved in a scandal, let alone both of them. Tanner could not control his temper at all.Jessica calmly stood up and said, "Calm down, Tanner. Actually... I was about to deal with this matter just now. If you had not come, I would have already dealt with it.""Hey!"Tanner glared at Jessica and yelled with his hands on his hips. He thought to himself, ‘Is she complaining that I got in the way?’But after the yell, Tanner still sighed and asked, “You can fix it?""Yes," Jessica replied calmly
'What happened again?'Jessica was browsing a webpage on the computer.The previous comments about her, including the slanders of half an hour ago and the supportive comments of ten minutes ago, were all covered up by new ones in an instant…[Hammer is a scum! His behaviors fly in the face of his public image!][I’ll give poor marks to any shows hosted by Hammer and boycott all his upcoming shows!]The rating for the girl group talent show, whose four episodes had been aired, had risen from 8.4 to 9.2, but because of this malicious boycott of Hammer, it dropped back to 8.4 in just half an hour.And a large number of netizens were also getting involved in boycotting him, whether on purpose or not. If it went on like this, the rating of the girl group talent show would keep dropping…Director Cooper had urgently ordered to issue a statement through the official social media account of the girl group that they would definitely reach the bottom of the fact and punish the relevant pe
Director Cooper turned around to stare at Jessica. "Who is it?""Wade Maddox,"Jessica replied calmly."Wade Maddox?" Director Cooper's eyes sparkled."Yeah. Wade is the judge of charm for the talent show. Although he wasn't in the venue in every show, he showed his face when giving his comments via video call. I'm sure all the viewers of our show know about his involvement, so there won't be any doubts about the rationality of the replacement. On top of that, Wade stepping into the breach will naturally provide some causes of sensation. Actually he himself will give rise to a stir. I think it'll take only a little bit publicity to drown out those disapproving voices online."Director Cooper nodded in satisfaction, the anxiety on his face instantly disappearing. "All right! Let's bring Wade on board!"Tanner, who had been sitting on the side quietly listening all along, looked at them and remarked, "Getting Wade to be the judge of charm cost quite a fortune. If we want him to mak
It took some time, but Jessica Bush finally connected the dots.The person said that she was the one in the photo… It was just that she had changed her number.[Yes, of course! The time and date?]Jessica replied eagerly.[You can pick the place. My only request is that it needs to be a safe and secluded place within this region. Apart from that, I want you to come alone, as soon as possible. If possible, make it tonight.] The woman then gave Jessica the location of a district.Jessica furrowed her brows.The woman asked if she wanted to know the truth, but she was more impatient than her.Jessica gave it some thought and told her the address of a restaurant.Fifteen minutes later, Jessica got a reply: [Alright. See you then!]*After Jessica got off work, she drove to the restaurant as promised.The reason she chose this restaurant was not only because of its privacy but also because the owner of the hotel was Jayden’s childhood friend. This assured Jessica of her safety.
Jessica walked into the emergency area.She took out her phone and called the phone number again.The phone rang.The person answered the phone this time."Hello."Jessica heard the Queue Management System calling the next number on the phone, which overlapped the sound in the emergency area.Jessica asked calmly, "Why didn't you show up by appointment?""I had an accident." It was a woman's voice and sounded hoarse."Where are you? In the hospital?" Jessica asked."..."The woman sighed. She sounded relieved but still worried. She paused for a while and said, "You're right.""What has happened?"After Jessica asked, she heard a nurse saying. "You're being put on a drip. Please hang up. Be careful!"Jessica looked in the direction where the nurse who pushed a nursing trolley looked at. A woman with long hair lay on a raised sick bed which was against the wall!The woman's appearance wasn't like Jessica's, but her face feature and temperament were somewhat like Jessica's
Jessica knitted her brows.After a brief pause, she said, "Okay. If your information is indeed worth something, I'll have Maddox Group shelter you."The wariness in Perla's eyes ebbed somewhat as she perceived the sincerity in Jessica's attitude, but she still insisted, "I need to hear you say it to Christian Maddox."Though a trifle resigned, Jessica still fished her cellphone out of her handbag and ran her finger across the screen.Before tapping the dial button, she raised her head and said to Perla, "It's only fair if you give me something solid before I make the call, don't you think?"Perla pressed her pale lips together and, after a few second's internal struggle, lifted her head to look Jessica in the eye and asked, "Did you meet a woman in a cemetery half a month ago?"A hint of incredulity appeared in Jessica's eyes.Her mind racing, Jessica said, "I remember her voice. You're not her."Perla gave a watery smile, "Of course not, but I know who she is, so the online ex
Startled, Jessica glanced around.The emergency section was seething with people and rather noisy. Her eyes searched the crowd carefully, but Perla was nowhere to be seen.She hastened up to the nurses' station. "Excuse me, would you please tell me where the patient occupying Bed 26th, the one next to the wall, has gone?"All nurses in emergency were very busy, and the whole place was full of intermittent rings of call bells. Not until she repeated her question urgently did one of the nurses think back for a moment and tell her, "I think she's gone to a consultation.""What kind of consultation? Is her injury really that serious?" Jessica became faintly apprehensive.The nurse, not knowing the details, told her to step outside to ask the nurses in the on-call room.But it struck Jessica that the matter was not what it seemed. Walking out, she made a phone call to Christian. Fortunately for her, this time he answered the call. She said without preamble, "I need a favor.""Go on."
Taken aback, Jessica jerked her head around."Are you okay?"The tall, shadowy figure behind her stepped forward and put his hands on her shoulders, looking at her to gage her mood. He had seldom seen such manifest panic in her eyes."Why did you come here?""After watching the security footage you asked for, I decided I should come here," said Christian.Lips pressed together, Jessica found the hands on her shoulders scalding.The reason why she had called Christian without thinking the instant she'd realized that something might have happened to Perla was not only because Christian could pull the security video for her within the shortest possible time, but also because of, as she believed, her heartfelt trust in him.But now, her trust in him had begun to waver again."I've had someone run a background check on that woman. Her name's Perla Leah. There might be some kind of connection between her and the woman in black you met a couple of days ago," Christian told her explici
