On the other side, Hollie saw Tristian take Jane away and returned home herself.
It was inevitable that Jane would have trouble online, but for now, she had to continue with her own affairs.
Soon after, Hollie posted a video online.
Now Hollie and Jane were at the center of attention. The video had just been released and it received a lot of feedback.
The content showed Hollie meeting with a man in a tea shop in the afternoon. Everyone could tell who he was from his physique and back view.
“That’s Patrick!” someone commented below. Soon after, this video made it to the trending list.
However, when things started to heat up, netizens realized that something was wrong.
The man in the video was cozying up to Hollie. He bought her dessert and fed it into her mouth one bite at a time.
Their intimate behavior quickly caught people’s attention. Although the man’s back view looked exactly like Patrick’s, he never showed his face throughout the entire video. It even seemed like he deliberately avoided being filmed by turning away from the camera.
Moreover, this surveillance footage seemed to be taken from where they were sitting at their table.
All of these coincidences made netizens unsure whether what they saw was real or fake.
Patrick had already registered his marriage with Jane, but now he was seen being intimate with another woman in a milk tea shop, which clearly angered netizens.
However, some netizens commented, “Wasn’t Hollie accusing Patrick of being a scumbag? Why is she being so affectionate with him at this critical moment?”
This question was raised, and soon everyone realized that something was off.
Indeed, if Hollie hated Patrick so much, why would she be privately meeting him at this critical moment?
Moreover, the relationship between the two in the video seemed close, so how could Patrick just abandon her and go register his marriage with Jane?
This series of questions caught the attention of netizens, but many people were still caught up in the video.
In no time, the news of “Patrick being exposed as a scumbag” quickly topped the trending searches. Faced with the doubts, Hollie didn’t respond immediately but allowed them to develop further.
In no time, comments not only accused Patrick but also blamed Hollie for being the another woman.
Hollie didn’t care. That was how the internet worked nowadays. There would always be a few people who didn’t stand on the same side as the majority.
Soon, the situation escalated, and many netizens lost their rationality, running to the comments section of Jane and Patrick to hurl insults.
Almost all the Twitter trending topics revolved around the four individuals. Some accused Jane and Tristian, while others berated Patrick as a scumbag. The newlywed couple was being criticized heavily on the internet.
Jane also discovered the situation on Twitter while at the company.
She lowered her gaze, unable to believe that Hollie would resort to such a scheme.
Jane looked calmly at the man beside her. Patrick had been with her all afternoon, so how could he have had time to deal with Hollie?
Jane frowned, realizing that the video wasn’t very credible. It was evident that it had deceived the eyes of netizens.
Patrick noticed Jane’s uneasiness and waved his hand, asking her to sit beside him.
“What’s wrong?”
Patrick’s gentle and magnetic voice reassured Jane to some extent.
“I saw those comments on the internet, and it’s put me in a bad mood.”
Jane directly complained to Patrick, nestling in his arms and acting spoiled.
“They’ve always been like that. Just ignore them.”
Patrick smiled and placed his hand on Jane’s waist.
Jane looked at the man in front of her, who reflected her in his eyes and heart. How could he possibly go and do such things?
“No, if we let this continue, she’ll succeed.”
Jane sat up, recalling her confrontation with Hollie in the afternoon. She had shown determination and composure, leaving no room for Jane to counter. It was infuriating.
Jane snorted coldly, then took out her phone and showed Patrick a few photos they had taken together.
In the photos, they posed in different positions, and Jane had deliberately used a watermark camera. The date was written next to it, and they also took a video.
She specifically focused on capturing Patrick’s face in the video to let netizens know that Hollie’s video was unreliable.
Soon, Jane also uploaded the video to the internet.
The response to this video was significant, overshadowing the flaws in Hollie’s video and giving the audience a sense of authenticity.
However, the content of the two videos that were released by both individuals was different, and both of them were associated with Patrick. It was difficult for netizens to distinguish between what was real and what was fake.
After all, since Jane was married to Patrick, it was natural for them to spend a considerable amount of time together. Watermarks could also be manipulated, so it was unclear if Jane’s video was shot earlier.
On the other hand, as Hollie had a secret child, her meetings with Patrick would have been limited, making it reasonable for the photos to be obtained only from surveillance footage.
There was both recognition and bias towards the videos of both individuals online, and it was unclear who was telling the truth and who was lying.
For a while, public opinion intensified, and many netizens began to criticize Hollie. They couldn’t understand her lack of moral principles. Since Patrick and Jane had registered their marriage, why would she still have such an intimate relationship with Patrick? It was obviously deliberate.
As mentioned in the live stream before, Hollie and Patrick had met by accident, so how could they have such a good relationship?
Clearly, Hollie’s video had many loopholes.
Watching the online public opinion gradually turning against her, Hollie clenched her fists in frustration. She didn’t expect Jane to catch on to the situation so quickly.
She still felt unwilling and hired a group of internet trolls to heavily criticize Jane on Twitter.
“Your husband has done such things, and you’re still so happy. How can you tolerate this?”
“Scum like Patrick should stop harming girls.”
Jane frowned as she looked at the comments below.
Patrick, on the other hand, was indifferent. He had long become indifferent to these comments.
At this point, the public opinion of netizens was irreparable. Jane simply didn’t care anymore and put down her phone, focusing on her own affairs.
Just then, two influential figures on Twitter spoke up.
They, like Hollie, held a live stream on Twitter specifically for this matter.
