Jane sat in her office, looking at the online comments, feeling a bit exhausted.
Hollie often made ambiguous statements on Twitter, and Jane couldn’t refute every single one of them, or else the Pansy family would appear heartless.
Jane sighed lightly as she looked at the online data, lost in thought for a moment.
Meanwhile, Molly, upon learning about the online news, had been studying the tweet that Hollie had posted.
Although the video in the tweet didn’t show the face, the figure and body shape were unmistakably similar to Patrick’s.
Suddenly, Molly noticed something odd in the video. She skipped to one minute and forty seconds, and there she saw a familiar watch on the man’s hand.
This realization shocked Molly. She had only met Patrick a few times and couldn’t possibly be familiar with the watch he wore.
Molly’s expression immediately turned grim because she had seen that watch on someone else’s hand before.
Thinking of that person caused a pang of pain in Molly’s heart.
She took a screenshot of the man’s watch in the video and used the image recognition feature on her phone. Soon, the brand of the watch was identified.
“Zata…”
Molly pronounced the name of the watch brand, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.
Zata was the brand that Jaiden had always liked.
Molly had previously researched Jaiden’s preferences and knew that he had worn this watch since childhood. She had even bought one for him from the official website.
Her heart trembled. Could it really be him?
Thinking of Jaiden, Molly’s eyes darkened. Carrying the video, she went to the bubble tea shop where Hollie had been before.
Due to the video Hollie had posted online in the past few days, the shop was now busier than usual.
Molly found the location from the video and turned around to see that the surveillance camera was indeed facing that area.
It had to be said that Hollie had chosen a very cunning angle, keeping the person in the video facing away from the camera the entire time.
Thinking of Jaiden’s video with Hollie, Molly lowered her head and then approached the staff at the front desk with the video in hand.
“Miss, don’t bother asking us. We’ve had hundreds of people asking us these past few days.”
Seeing the familiar video again, the staff member wore a troubled expression.
“I won’t give you a hard time.”
Most likely, it was those gossiping netizens from the internet. Molly put on an unconcerned expression.
She scrolled through her phone and pulled out a photo of Jaiden, handing it to the staff member. “Is this the person who was here eating with Miss Miller that day?”
The staff member looked at the photo, stunned, then turned to Molly with an incredulous expression.
“What’s the matter?” Molly raised an eyebrow.
“No, nothing,” the staff member scratched their head. “Many people have come asking us if he was Mr. Pansy these past few days, but we all said we didn’t know him. The man in the photo you showed me, he did indeed visit the shop that day.”
The staff member’s response caused a slight tremor in Molly’s heart.
She couldn’t believe it. It really was Jaiden.
“That lady that day claimed to have lost something and insisted on checking our surveillance footage. Later, I don’t know what happened, but the video somehow ended up circulating online. To protect the privacy of our customers, we’ve been turning away people who ask about it these past few days.”
Listening to these words, Molly nodded, but couldn’t understand how Hollie could be connected to Jaiden.
This was another unknown factor.
“Well, you’ve been online these past few days, and I’m sure you’re aware of the video of Miss Miller circulating on the internet. It has caused a lot of trouble for my boss, so we need you to record a video to prove that the man in the video is not Patrick but Jaiden. We’ll pay you a hundred thousand as compensation.”
In order to help Jane out of this predicament, Molly took the initiative to search for evidence.
Faced with a hundred thousand dollars, the staff member’s eyes lit up, and they readily agreed without hesitation.
Soon, Molly found a tripod to record the video, undoubtedly to prove that the man in the video was not Patrick but Jaiden.
After backing up the video on her phone, Molly asked the staff member for their account number and then left the bubble tea shop.
After coming out, Molly’s mood was somewhat complicated, but she still headed straight to Star Entertainment.
Jane, who was thinking of a solution, let Molly into the office when she saw her.
“That video, I studied it when I went back, and sure enough, the man inside is indeed not Mr. Pansy.”
Molly got straight to the point, and Jane looked up at her.
“Have you found evidence?”
These past few days, Jane had been frustrated by the inability to find evidence to counter Hollie’s claims, which was why the situation had been deadlocked for so long.
“Yes.” Molly nodded and then showed Jane the watch on her phone. “I found that the man in the video was wearing this watch. Have you seen him wear it when you’re with Mr. Pansy?”
Jane thought for a moment and then shook her head. “No, but this evidence is not conclusive either.”
Faced with Jane’s doubt, Molly smiled. “But I saw it on Jaiden.”
“Jaiden?”
Jane widened her eyes, surprised that this matter was somehow related to Jaiden.
Molly showed Jane the clarification video from the staff member at the bubble tea shop. Although Jane was somewhat shocked, the matter was clear, and she felt relieved.
Looking at Molly’s pained expression, Jane felt helpless and patted her shoulder. “Don’t be sad for someone like him. He’s not worth it.”
Listening to these words, Molly nodded and then asked Jane what they should do next.
“Of course, we have to go find him.”
Jane’s gaze became determined, realizing that it was Jaiden who was causing trouble.
It was strange indeed that Jaiden and Patrick had such similar body shapes, and she hadn’t thought of him all these days.
“You should go back for now. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Jane gave Molly a confident smile and let her go back.
Seeing Molly’s heavy steps, Jane shook her head. She could understand this kind of situation.
Then she opened the blacklist on her phone and found Jaiden’s phone number.
She had blocked Jaiden a long time ago, but unexpectedly, she had to contact him now.
Looking at the phone, Jane dialed without hesitation.
“Well, Ms. North, what made you suddenly remember me?”
Jaiden’s teasing voice came from the other side, and upon hearing it, Jane furrowed her brow.
“Do you have some free time?”
Faced with Jane’s impatient tone, Jaiden still maintained his casual demeanor.
“As long as you need it, I’m always available.”
Jane felt her stomach churn, and then she proposed the idea of meeting Jaiden for a conversation.
