Reporters excitedly approached, surrounding Jane and Patrick.
Patrick’s fiancée and first love had a major confrontation, and Jane had allegedly forced Candice to jump off the building. This was explosive news!
Reporters eagerly bombarded Jane:
“Miss North, what exactly happened?”
“Miss North, we heard you forced Miss Dillon to jump off. Although she harmed you before, she didn’t take your life. Now that Miss Dillon has a terminal illness, do you feel justified in pushing her like this? What about your conscience?”
“Mr. Pansy has always claimed that Miss Dillon is his first love, searching for her for many years. Yet, you intervened. Do you not feel guilty being a third party?”
Reporters were indignant, sharply questioning and directly accusing Jane of forcing Candice to jump.
Jane glanced at the cameras, casually stating, “Patrick is my fiancé. How am I a third party? As for the first love, did they end up together?”
However, reporters persisted:
“Miss North, we heard you two already called off the engagement. You haven’t re-engaged, so is Mr. Pansy really your fiancé?”
“If, as you say, Mr. Pansy is your fiancé, why force Miss Dillon to jump? Are you afraid Miss Dillon will steal Mr. Pansy away?”
They dared not offend Patrick, so they continued to question Jane.
Jane’s pretty face hardened, “No comment!”
At that moment, a black Bentley pulled up, and Osborn stepped out.
“It’s Osborn! Osborn is here!” A reporter shouted with excitement.
People surrounded Osborn, bombarding him with questions:
“Osborn, are you here to pick up Miss North?”
“Osborn, what’s your opinion on Miss North forcing Miss Dillon to jump?”
“Osborn, what’s your relationship with Miss North? Just colleagues?”
Osborn ignored the questions, walking straight to Jane, “Jane, are you okay?”
Jane shook her head, “Let’s go!”
Osborn opened the car door, and Jane got in. The two drove away.
Reporters were taken aback by Jane’s swift departure. They turned to look at Patrick.
Patrick’s face was ice-cold, radiating an unwelcoming aura. Everyone felt a bit intimidated and quickly retreated. After all, the material they had just captured was enough.
Patrick gazed in the direction Jane had left, his cold eyes squinting, emotions flickering within.
This woman dared to call Osborn in front of so many people, as if he didn’t exist…
In the car,
“Osborn, thank you. You always come through for me,” Jane said from the passenger seat, glancing at Osborn.
Osborn’s eyes deepened slightly. “As long as it’s your matter, I will do my best.”
This situation was better than before when she always avoided him.
Jane felt a bit uneasy under his gaze and changed the subject, “By the way, how’s your preparation for this year’s international film festival awards?”
“Still considering,” Osborn furrowed his brow slightly.
Lately, he felt a bit off and couldn’t find a suitable theme for a stunning film. The news of Jane’s engagement to Patrick also troubled him, and he had considered not participating.
Jane smiled, “I have an idea.”
“Hmm? The film festival is just seven months away now…” Osborn was somewhat surprised. Could one produce an exquisite and outstanding work in just seven months?
Jane raised an eyebrow, “Are you questioning my abilities?”
“Are you personally taking charge?” Osborn was slightly amazed.
Jane nodded, her clear eyes radiating confidence. “The time is sufficient. I’ll write the script in five months, start filming, and air it during the year-end holiday season. With your popularity, breaking through won’t be an issue at the international film festival.”
Osborn tightly gripped the steering wheel, earnestly listening to Jane’s melodious voice.
Her allure captured his heart even more.
She was outstanding by nature, and now she radiated a unique charm in front of him that other women lacked.
How could he not love such a woman? How could he forget her?
“Osborn?” Jane noticed Osborn’s distraction and quickly called him.
He was driving, after all; his absent-mindedness could be dangerous for both of them.
“Cough.” Osborn snapped out of it. “Sorry, I spaced out for a moment.”
“Do you have something on your mind?” Jane was concerned about his state. In the entertainment industry, no matter how high you climbed, the constant scrutiny and immense pressure were taxing. Moreover, the events with the Maltz family two years ago continued to affect him.
Despite not showing it in public, Jane knew that the Maltz Group’s near bankruptcy had cast a significant psychological shadow on Osborn.
He hadn’t completely let go of it even today.
“No, you haven’t told me where you want to go.”
Osborn’s words brought Jane back to the present.
Jane thought for a moment, “Let’s go to the company. We can discuss the new script. Since we’re starting the shoot, we need to discuss and refine the details.”
“Have you already written it?” Osborn asked in a deep voice, no longer looking at Jane to avoid being captivated.
Jane nodded, “Yes.”
Soon, they arrived at Star Entertainment.
Jane and Osborn got out of the car and headed towards the company’s main building.
People, seeing the return of the long-unseen big boss, speculated if something significant was about to happen.
Everyone was guessing. As Jane passed by, they hurriedly greeted her in unison, “Hello, Miss North.”
Jane courteously responded and led Osborn into the elevator, heading to the top floor where her office was.
Upon entering, Osborn’s handsome face suddenly turned stern. He handed his phone to Jane, “Are you really going to let this escalate online?”
Jane looked down and saw that the incident of Candice jumping off the hospital had already spread like wildfire on the internet.
Perfect.
Jane smiled, “These media outlets sure work efficiently.”
“Jane, are you willing to let people tarnish your image like this?” Osborn’s expression soured as he saw his beloved woman being maligned.
Even though he knew Jane must have her reasons, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
“I don’t care,” Jane shrugged nonchalantly, wearing a relaxed expression.
This was precisely the effect she wanted. The development of events was entirely within her expectations.
