Chapter 185 The Dignity Without Results Is Worthless
"Get justice for Donna! Expose the face of this third party who interferes with the relationship of the leading actress to the public!"
A young fan held an expensive camera with a recording function, pointing it at Jessica's face.
"You've been a hot topic for the past few months. I've heard people say that you, Jessica, are not simple. Who knows if you've climbed up using some dirty means? What's the point of buying all those hot searches every day? It's so annoying!"
"You are really shameless!"
"Corrupt morals, destroying others' relationships, and lacking in character!"
Several young fans angrily scolded, and although there were only five or six of them, it was enough to surround Jessica layer by layer.
Jessica lightly curled her lips and said in a drawn-out tone, "My reputation, good or bad, is in the hands of other. Have you ever understood? Your parents raised you and gave you a good education just for you girls to come here and be used as tools by others?"
"Are you educated us? Who do you think you are?"
"Don't think that just because Donna has a good temper, you can do whatever you want! Now, everyone sees your true colors! Disgusting!"
"Quickly apologize to Donna! During 'Charles II,' you snatched the role that originally belonged to Donna! We haven't settled the score with you yet! You, a trashy person who doesn't even know which sugar daddy you've slept with, if you continue to be active on the big screen in the future, we won't be able to eat anymore! We'll just vomit!"
Jessica carefully looked at these few girls one by one. Clearly, she was the one being surrounded and attacked, but she stood calmly in place, just giving them a serious look. The expressions of the girls began to shift, showing some avoidance, but they didn't want to be inferior in momentum to her. Even though their eyes showed some evasion, they still held up those ugly photos and stood in place to block her.
People's hearts were easily swayed now.
Especially in such an online environment.
Jessica wasn't actually surprised.
What surprised her at first was that a person, or a group of people, could hide behind and distort facts to fabricate lies out of thin air just to ruin someone's reputation, actually disregarding their moral bottom line.
But when everything was laid out in front of her like this, she suddenly felt that this was just human nature.
"Jessica, you are now seen as completely rotten by everyone. Have some shame, if you still want a bit of dignity, just leave the circle!"
Jessica glanced at the girl who had just spoken, her eyes filled with both indignation and evasion. "Young lady," she said, "let me tell you, dying in anyone's words is a fate to be avoided at all costs. Dignity without consequence holds no worth."
As Gabriel exited the main entrance of the hospital, this was the scene that unfolded before his eyes.
Jessica stood there gracefully, her voice clear, exuding confidence from head to toe.
Just like her actions today when she fought to retrieve Danielle's photos.
She could charge forward for herself and Danielle like a fearless female warrior.
"Dare to do but not to admit, what are you pretending for!"
Jessica replied, "You say I interfered in the leading actress's relationship. Do you have any evidence?"
"Everyone says so!"
Jessica continued, "Everyone says so,' is that evidence?"
"Don't nitpick with us. It's an internal message! People inside the Four Seas Entertainment have already spread the word. You are the third party!"
Jessica inquired, "Who are these insiders?"
"Since it's an internal message, it can't be casually disclosed to everyone!"
Jessica just smiled directly, "So, does this person really exist?"
The five or six girls suddenly fell silent when asked.
Jessica smiled ambiguously. "Is this evidence? Is a rumor passed around by everyone automatically the truth?"
Because Jessica exuded transparency and fearlessness from the inside out, the attacks of the few girls at this moment seemed pale and powerless.
One of the girls, in extreme anger, said, "My cousin worked in the makeup room of 'Charles II' crew. She saw that you and Trinity really didn't get along, and Trinity even told you to get lost! If you didn't do something offensive to the leading actress, why would she be mean to you?"
"Yes, Trinity 's movie was about to be released after months of shooting, but it's said that because you relied on your background, you reported the film, causing the sudden delay in the release!"
Jessica raised an eyebrow and asked, as usual, "I reported it? Any evidence?"
"Everyone says so!"
The conversation seemed to circle back to the starting point.
The girls seemed to suddenly realize something, their faces changing, some blushing and continuing, "The movie had passed the first review and was about to be released. If it weren't for someone maliciously reporting it, how could it suddenly be stopped?"
Jessica retorted, "Then you should ask the movie producers and distributors about that; what does it have to do with me?"
The girls had various expressions of anger, but the one who had been holding the camera on Jessica persistently shouted, "Speak up, keep talking, let everyone see your arrogant face! I'll post it all online for you!"
Jessica glanced at her indifferently. "You are still students, and you don't understand the adult world. It's too easy to ruin someone's reputation in a circle. Do you know what a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth means? Everyone adds fuel to the fire above the facts, distorting the truth, conveying the 'inside story' they want others to know, and gradually countless people spread a completely groundless event, even distorting it beyond recognition of the original incident."
"In the end, something fabricated out of thin air becomes 'everyone knows,' 'everyone says so.'"
Jessica raised her hand, "Do you know how I got these injuries? Today, I was illegally followed by someone, and I have already sent that person to the police station. Can you guess who instructed them to film me secretly? The records are with the police, and I even have a video of that person detailing their backer and the bank transactions. He even confessed that someone had been secretly placing a tracking device on my manager's car since yesterday."
Jessica looked at the suddenly silent girls who seemed to understand something. "Do you want me to make this video public?"
The girl standing on Jessica's left side, holding up her ugly photos, suddenly panicked. "You're lying! Donna is not like that! You have no evidence!"
Jessica raised an eyebrow. "I actually do have evidence."
After a moment of silence, Jessica looked at Mackenzie, who had been standing not far away for a long time. "These girls don't sound like locals. They're probably either out-of-town students or came here temporarily. Help me take them to the police station, find their parents' phone numbers, and safely send them back. Don't let anything happen to them outside."
