Unfortunately, these voices could only be heard in another place.
Jane was arranged by Patrick to go home and rest, and an assistant was assigned to look after her.
However, she watched the live broadcast of the press conference online. She had learned to control her emotions and not let it affect the child.
But seeing the two sisters cry so heartbrokenly, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have let them hold onto their illusions.
“Madam, Mr. Pansy said to take you to the hospital for a check-up later.”
The assistant appeared to be a young girl in her early twenties. She was very serious and meticulous in her work.
“No need, I’m perfectly fine. I don’t need a check-up.” Jane refused without hesitation.
“That won’t do.” Unexpectedly, this young girl had quite a temper. “The President said that if you’ve been through such a big shock, what if your health deteriorates? How can he continue to live?”
Upon hearing this, Jane burst into laughter and couldn’t interrupt the earnestness of the young girl.
She also knew that Patrick would never say such things.
“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Jane felt as if she were a controlled machine, being led into the car.
Just as they were about to start, Patrick’s car arrived.
As soon as he got out of the car, he immediately ran to Jane and hugged her tightly.
The assistant quickly turned away upon seeing this.
“What are you doing? There are people around.” Jane leaned on his shoulder, feeling a bit shy.
Patrick shouted at the assistant, “You can leave work now.”
The assistant was initially confused but quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly left the scene.
Patrick personally drove and took her for a check-up.
“You really make a big fuss over small things. It’s just a minor matter, and I’m not that fragile.” Jane couldn’t help but complain, but she was truly happy inside.
Patrick did a great job with the two sisters’ situation.
“Nothing concerning you is a small matter.”
Hearing those words, Jane smiled knowingly and turned her head to the side. She saw a little boy being dragged back by his parents, without even a trace of dignity left.
The little boy seemed to have just escaped from school and was caught red-handed by his parents.
Jane glanced at the commotion and couldn’t help but think about her own child. If they encountered something like this, how would she react?
But her child would probably be obedient and sensible.
With that thought, a smile appeared on Jane’s face, and she couldn’t help but laugh foolishly at Patrick.
After she finished her check-up without any issues, Patrick finally felt relieved.
Jane was bored and restless at home, so she browsed the news online and came across various evil deeds of internet addiction treatment centers. Suddenly, the image of that little boy came to her mind, and she felt suspicious.
She immediately called Patrick.
“My dear wife, just relax at home and take care of yourself. Don’t think too much about these things. Everything will come to an end.”
Jane seemed to have changed a bit lately, but she couldn’t remember when it started.
“No, I saw these news, and I’m so angry that I can’t sleep. If you don’t have time, I’ll handle it myself. After all, I can handle it on my own as well.” Jane hung up the phone directly.
She could investigate it herself; there was no need to rely on Patrick and make things difficult.
Just a short while after hanging up the phone, Patrick called in a rush, continuously apologizing. Jane wasn’t a person who held grudges, so she forgave him.
The two of them started investigating the whole matter together and discovered that the little boy was indeed in an internet addiction treatment school. However, these schools were not legitimate. But because their methods were effective, no parents reported them. Some parents even voluntarily sent their children to them.
The more Jane looked at these materials, the more something felt off. She couldn’t let these children waste their time in such an irregular place.
Patrick knew some police officers and brought Jane directly to the police station to investigate.
They briefly explained the situation to the police.
“We are already investigating the matter you mentioned, but I advise you not to have high hopes,” the officer, who knew Patrick, naturally spoke his mind.
“Are you implying that the background is very influential?” Patrick questioned.
Seeing the officer’s silence, Jane already knew the answer. It seemed even a small school had so many risks. It seemed they would have to be more careful in the future.
“So, should we continue the investigation?” Jane asked proactively. She had initiated this matter, but she hadn’t expected it to be so complicated.
Patrick spread his hands. “Although our social status has improved, it doesn’t mean that anyone will listen to us. Therefore, we should consider the long term.”
Jane nodded along. That seemed to be the only option now.
…
Maria rested at home for a while, and her injuries had mostly healed. In the evening, her agent arranged a variety show appearance to boost her popularity.
The agent was hesitant, so she called Jane.
“Maria hasn’t appeared for such a long time, and the audience has probably forgotten about her. The chances of gaining popularity now are slim. Why not give up?” the agent suggested.
Jane rejected it outright. “No, we can’t.”
Maria was an artist she had signed, and she couldn’t give up so easily.
“Select some better variety shows and prevent maliciously edited videos from appearing. Buy some marketing accounts to increase visibility. Once she appears on the variety show in a few days, things will improve. Also, let her appear on regular shows first, and then on variety shows.”
A variety show takes several months to film, and it takes time for the post-production process before it can be aired. During this time, anything could change. If they wanted to appear in the public eye directly, this type of show would be faster.
The agent understood Jane’s intentions and didn’t say much more.
Jane was still a bit worried, so when Maria started filming the show, she went to visit her.
From afar, she could see that she was in a good state, seemingly even more carefree than before.
When Maria saw Jane, she waved at her and quickly ran over. “Jane, why are you here?”
Seeing her sunny face, Jane couldn’t be happier.
“How have you been lately? Are you adjusting well?” Jane noticed the changes and felt a warmth in her heart.
“I’m doing well. My agent has filled my schedule with various appearances. I have to participate in several shows, as well as filming for variety shows and dramas, and so on…” It was evident that Maria enjoyed this lifestyle, with a smile in her eyes.
“That’s good. I was worried you wouldn’t adapt. I came specifically to see you.”
