In the coffee shop, Jane and Hollie had reached an impasse. Despite Jane’s attempts to ask more questions, Hollie had all the answers and there seemed to be no way around it.
“Well then, Miss Miller, I guess we have nothing left to talk about,” Jane said with a tight-lipped smile as she stood up.
“There was never anything worth talking about in the first place,” Hollie replied with a dismissive shrug as she slowly got up from her seat, holding onto the table for support due to her pregnancy.
Jane helped her out of the coffee shop despite some resistance from Hollie. As they stepped outside, they were met by a swarm of reporters calling out for them.
“Jane! It’s Jane!” one of them shouted excitedly while pointing their cameras at them both.
Jane frowned in confusion. Why were there so many reporters here?
She turned to look at Hollie beside her, and sure enough, Hollie had a different expression on her face, completely different from the determined look she had just shown.
It was only then that Jane realized she might have been deceived.
“Ms. North, can you explain to us what you and Miss Miller were discussing when you came out?”
Jane lowered her gaze, releasing her hold on Hollie’s hand.
“Miss Miller is pregnant. You brought her to the café, can you bear the responsibility if something happens? Or was that your intention from the beginning?”
The media’s words sounded confusing to Jane.
She couldn’t believe that the media could fabricate so many things from the time she came out to talk with Hollie.
“Ms. North, why aren’t you speaking? Are you feeling guilty?”
Faced with the media’s words, Jane’s eyes dimmed. She looked at the cameras in front of her with a cold gaze.
At that moment, Hollie suddenly covered her mouth and started crying.
The media turned their cameras towards Hollie upon hearing the sound.
“Miss Miller, rest assured, with so many of us here, we will ensure justice for you.”
The journalist’s words made Jane even more displeased.
It seemed as if they were telling everyone that Jane had bullied Hollie.
“You don’t need to worry about me. It’s my own fault for bringing the child into your sight. I should have taken care of the child alone.”
Hollie cried while holding her large belly, tears streaming down her face.
The journalists began to sympathize with her, and some even handed Hollie a tissue.
“This matter wasn’t a big deal to begin with. I just wanted the Pansy family to give me and my child justice. Who would have thought that before anyone from the Pansy family said anything, Ms. North took the opportunity to stand up and bully me. I can only blame my bad luck for encountering such a situation.”
Listening to Hollie’s words, the journalists sympathized with her.
In contrast to Hollie’s grievances, the media looked at Jane, who had a cold and indifferent expression.
This made many journalists even more angry, and they turned their cameras towards Jane’s face.
“Ms. North, do you have anything to say about all of this?”
Jane frowned, “This matter is not yet decided, there’s no need for me to summon a pregnant woman in the middle of the afternoon.”
Unexpectedly, Jane showed no intention of explaining, which solidified the perception that she was bullying Hollie.
Hollie, on the other hand, felt somewhat triumphant, but she still maintained a pitiful appearance.
“Ms. North is the wife of a prestigious family. How could she care about someone like me? In the end, it’s just me and my child who suffer.”
After Hollie finished speaking, she continued to hold her belly, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
“Ms. North, we never expected you to treat a pregnant woman like this. We were really wrong about you!”
Jane looked up, “This matter is still uncertain, yet here you all are making assumptions. You don’t even know who made the mistake.”
Faced with Jane’s words, the journalists became even more agitated.
“You shouldn’t have done such a thing to a pregnant woman.”
The journalists began to criticize Jane one after another, but suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
“Even if Jane went too far, it’s not your place to make judgments here.”
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice and saw Tristian standing opposite the crowd.
Jane raised an eyebrow. How did Tristian show up at this moment?
Tristian walked directly in front of the media, his expression turning cold. “It’s not your place to make judgments about Jane’s affairs. Step aside.”
Faced with Tristian’s domineering words, the journalists’ pupils contracted.
Although there had been rumors about Jane and Tristian before, the matter was rarely brought up after Jane and Patrick got married.
Unexpectedly, Tristian now stood up voluntarily to speak up for Jane.
Jane was also surprised, but at the same time, she felt even more worried.
This meant that the online rumors about them would probably increase.
“Why did you come?”
Seeing Tristian standing in front of her, Jane asked while the media remained stunned.
“I couldn’t stand seeing you surrounded by reporters, so I came to help you.”
Tristian grinned, his face devoid of the previous playful smile, but still filled with mischief.
“No need, I can handle it myself.”
Jane shook her head and refused as Tristian tried to hold her hand.
But it was too late to refuse at this point. The media captured photos of Tristian coming to Jane’s aid.
Seeing the photos on their cameras, the journalists smiled with satisfaction. Not only did they have material on Tristian, but also on Hollie and Patrick.
This way, tonight’s headlines had a few more stories.
“You see, so many people have seen it. If you don’t come with me, you’ll continue to listen to their chatter here.”
Tristian didn’t wait for Jane’s reply. He directly grabbed her arm and led her away from the crowd of reporters.
The journalists only cared about tonight’s headline trends, leaving Hollie alone stomping her feet in place.
However, this incident quickly spread among the reporters and made its way onto the internet. In no time, pictures of Tristian holding Jane’s hand were circulating on Twitter.
The previous rumors about the two of them resurfaced, but this time, Jane was already married to Patrick, making the rumors even more sensational.
Coupled with the recent events involving Hollie and Patrick, many netizens started eagerly following the developments of this couple.
In no time, the previous rumors about Jane and Tristian became even more prominent, and many netizens couldn’t sit still anymore.
