Janet had no idea what had been happening outside.
Stewing in her own anxiety, she locked herself up at home. She drew all the curtains shut, plunging the
room in depressing shadows.
The fridge was empty. Ethan went out to buy some food. When Janet peeked through the curtain to
look outside, winter dusk greeted her, which very much looked like nighttime.
There was still a large group of fans besieging the neighborhood, especially their building. Janet
sighed. She was about to look away when a new wave of commotion seemed to stir the crowd.
Everyone was still very agitated. They were looking at something on their phones and discussing
animatedly among themselves. However, the “Janet, apologize” banners had gone down, and no one
screamed and cursed at Janet’s window anymore.
Janet felt that the angry mob was no longer upset with her. They seemed to have calmed down a bit.
The security guards blew the whistles and dispersed the crowd. Finally, they were able to clear a path
through the gate.
Janet’s phone then rang.
Because the room was as silent as a tomb, the sound startled Janet. She rushed to find her phone and
answer the call.
Janet had no idea what had been happening outside.
Stewing in her own anxiety, she locked herself up at home. She drew all the curtains shut, plunging the
room in depressing shadows. It was Laney.
Since Janet and Laney parted at the staircase, they hadn’t contacted each other. Janet felt that since
she was the target of public criticism now, she might get Laney in trouble if she kept communicating
with her.
“Janet? Have you checked your phone?” Laney asked in an excited voice, which was rare. She usually
spoke in a nonchalant monotone.
“No. Ethan took away my phone and shut off the Internet connection. He was afraid that I would be
even more anxious if I checked my phone,” Janet replied, drooping her shoulders.
“Then turn on the TV and check out the news.”
“Sorry, I don’t think that’s such a good idea. I’m not in the best of moods right now. If I watch the news
now, I may have to ask for a long leave after,” Janet said as if she was joking. She didn’t want others to
think that she cared too much.
Laney said with a smile in her voice, “It’s not about you. It’s about Emani. Last night, a lot of news
against Emani was exposed to the public, and she’s now being criticized online. I think seeing it on TV
will make you feel better.”
Laney’s words reminded Janet of the strange scenes downstairs just now. She picked up the remote
control on the tea table and reluctantly turned on the TV.
Emani was indeed all over the news. Her dirty past had been laid out in the open, and many influential
TV personalities were condemning her and calling her a bad influence whose immorality knew no
bounds.
The public’s attention was now on Emani. It seemed that everyone had already forgotten about Janet.
Janet was stunned. She couldn’t believe that she had survived such a desperate situation. She didn’t
understand how the tables suddenly turned, but she was immensely relieved.
She switched to another TV channel. It was broadcasting news from someone who claimed to be
present at the scenic tourist spot where Emani met her accident. He released a video he had taken at
that time. Emani and Janet were on it, and they were by the lake.
The angle was perfect, and it captured what really happened between Janet and Emani that day.
Janet hadn’t touched Emani the entire time. It was Emani who held Janet’s hand and seemed to use
much force. Janet looked a little uncomfortable in the video, but before she could do anything, Emani
had already fallen into the lake.
