They were a little regretful, but this time they had gained something.
Due to the incident on the way with Jane and Haven, the press conference was forced to be cancelled.
Although the video of the car accident leaked onto the internet, it was released by the high-speed rail officials and did not specify who was inside.
Although this accident received some attention, because of its extremely blurry image quality, netizens could not see who was inside at all.
The incident happened suddenly and no one informed those waiting at the press conference that Jane had an accident. As a result, a large group of reporters waited at the interview site for an entire afternoon.
This press conference was live-streamed online. Netizens and journalists waited for Jane and Haven all afternoon but didn’t even catch a glimpse of them.
As a result, it immediately caused anger among netizens:
“What’s up with these two? Are they too good to show up? They promised to come to this press conference!”
“The things said online are still unknown if they’re true or false. These two just disappeared like that. They really can’t afford it!”
For a while, many people flocked to Jane and Haven’s Twitter accounts accusing them one after another.
But at this time, both Jane and Haven were still in hospital; after working hard during daytime hours,
Jane had already fallen asleep long ago. And Finley saw that online comments were becoming more heated so she kept her from seeing Twitter out of fear of hurting Haven’s feelings any further.
Public opinion continued growing louder yet neither Jane nor Haven came out to explain anything; allowing public opinion develop as it would:
“For several days in a row now, Jane hasn’t come out to explain anything – is she feeling guilty or what? Now lies are about ready be exposed – afraid face everyone?”
“I don’t think Star Entertainment is any good company either! The president has become like this; there isn’t even anyone there willing say anything!”
Netizens began targeting Star Entertainment as whole until finally even their official account became subject their attacks:
“A broken company! You guys stand people up whenever you want! It’s because people like you that entertainment industry has been ruined!”
“Go bankrupt quickly! Seeing you guys makes me nauseous.”
Comments below grew increasingly intense until finally Marco could only shut down company comments altogether due lack options available him.
These past few days he’d been trying contact with Jane but unfortunately his calls never went through. He also didn’t have Patrick’s contact information either; he’d gone over their house before knocking on door for quite some time without anyone coming answer.
Jane suddenly disappeared again leaving employees within Company once again anxious:
“Still unable to reach Jane?”
Outside thedoor, April stood looking worried.
Jane disappeared again, and no one knew what would happen to her.
“Um.” Seeing the worry on April’s face, he opened his mouth to comfort her but couldn’t find the words.
“Okay.”
April’s eyes dimmed as she nodded. Employees had been asking her where Jane was for days now, and since she was close to Jane at work, everyone came up to ask her about it. But April didn’t know where Jane was either.
With Jane gone, many of the company’s businesses had slowed down.
“Don’t worry.” Marco couldn’t bear seeing April so distraught and spoke up. “We all know who Jane is. She’ll be okay.”
Hearing this, April smiled faintly and nodded vigorously in agreement.
In the hospital room:
Patrick was still taking care of Jane after they took down their enemies that morning. They returned to the hospital exhausted because of their efforts. Since Jane still needed an IV drip, she couldn’t go home yet. Patrick arranged a VIP ward for her instead.
However, these past few days there were also online insults directed towards Jane that Patrick saw but didn’t tell her about them since she was sick and he didn’t want more stress added onto it all.
Patrick couldn’t bear it, and the next moment, he received a call from the police.
Jane, who had shallow sleep to begin with, was startled awake. After Patrick finished the call, she let out a soft voice.
“What’s wrong?”
“Why are you awake?” Patrick’s magnetic voice came, and he walked over to stroke Jane’s head. “The police wants to reward us and said they would give us a flag as an honor.”
You see, police flags are usually awarded to the police, so the fact that Jane and Patrick were receiving one indicated that they had helped a great deal.
Jane took a deep breath and nodded. Now that things were coming to an end, she could finally rest properly.
Due to professional habits, Jane still had some concerns while preparing to rest. She was about to open Twitter to check the situation, but Patrick snatched the phone away.
“Rest well and don’t look at your phone.”
Seeing Patrick, as usual, preventing her from using the phone, Jane was puzzled.
The next moment, she remembered the last press conference.
It happened suddenly, and she hadn’t had a chance to tell those reporters that she hadn’t shown up for the whole afternoon. Something must have gone wrong!
Jane suddenly snapped back to reality and saw Patrick’s anxious expression. Even a child could guess that something had happened.
“Give me back my phone!”
Jane wanted to come forward and snatch the phone, but Patrick still had a stern face.
“I know what you’re worried about, but if we don’t solve the problem promptly, it will only get worse.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick wavered.
As a businessman, he really didn’t understand the rules of the entertainment industry. Helpless, he had no choice but to return the phone to Jane.
Just as Jane was about to post an explanation, she opened the top trending topic, and unsurprisingly, it read, “Star Entertainment Throws a Tantrum.”
Seeing this headline, Jane was already accustomed to such things.
Jane felt helpless as she read the crazy comments below. It was no longer just about the press conference.
If she explained things like this, the situation probably wouldn’t be resolved.
However, Jane quickly discovered another breakthrough.
The flag from the police station happened to arrive. Although Jane looked sickly, with a disheveled appearance, she couldn’t hide her beauty.
Jane brought the flag close to her and took a few photos with it.
Then, she posted the photos on Twitter, without mentioning the online abuse she had faced these past few days.
After the images were uploaded and edited by the Twitter algorithm, Jane added the caption, “Have you all read the news today?”
In the photos, Jane appeared without makeup, and her patient gown quickly caught the attention of netizens.
Only then did they realize that Jane was in the hospital.
Inspired by Jane’s Twitter post, many netizens went to the police’s Twitter account, and unsurprisingly, the first tweet praised Jane and Patrick as a couple.
And the flag in Jane’s photo was actually awarded by the police!
What an immense honor! Netizens usually only pay attention to entertainment news, rarely focusing on city news like this.
