Chapter 192 I'm the One Dancing for Trinity
The clout of this matter continued until the weekend when Four Seas Entertainment held a press conference.
On that day, Jessica was preparing her luggage to join a new drama crew in a few days. Although most of the filming for "Honey Ferris Wheel" would also take place in Xyleria, some scenes would need to be shot in Sunshine Bay City.
It took about forty-five minutes by train between Xyleria and Sunshine Bay City and about an hour and a half by car on the highway.
Although not far, she might not be able to travel back in time after filming some night scenes. The whole crew would be accommodated in a hotel in Sunshine Bay City, and she had to at least bring one suitcase.
At the Four Seas Entertainment press conference hotel, Linda watched as Trinity sat in the dressing room, her makeup meticulously done but her eyes visibly lifeless.
Trinity had been unable to reach Keegan for several days. He only agreed to meet publicly at the press conference today and didn't give her any private time to connect over the phone.
Especially at this press conference that had already been announced to the public, no matter how much Trinity didn't want to come, she had the honor and pride of an award-winning actress, as well as the glory of the Jenner family. Even if she was facing Four Seas Entertainment, which was about to kick her out, and a man about to break off their engagement, she had no choice but to attend.
Linda left the hotel and made numerous calls to get Jessica's agent's number, finally dialing it directly. "I want to see Jessica."
When Jessica received Mackenzie's call, she happened to be at the studio. She didn't need Mackenzie to relay the message; she could hear Linda's voice directly over the phone.
Half an hour later, a white Audi parked in front of a high-end cafe near the hotel where the Four Seas Entertainment held itspress conference.
The cafe's staff greeted Jessicawith a professional smile. She was dressed in a well-fitted casual sports outfit, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, making it hard to see her face, but from a distance, one could sense her beauty.
As she walked in, the cafe staff caught a glimpse of the thick coat on her arm and couldn't help but wonder, 'Are today's fashion choices for beauties this casual? Sportswear paired with a wool coat? And still, wearing a hat and mask?'
Yet this seemingly casual combination exuded an inexplicably attractive and exceptionally relaxed beauty.
Jessica went straight to the second-floor private room, where a staff member approached her and asked if she had a reservation.
"I'm here to see Linda."
This cafe was co-owned by Linda and a friend, who didn't expect to make much money from the cafe. It was simply a way for these idle socialites to invest in various businesses, big and small, to shuffle assets under their names.
Jessica was led to the most secluded private room inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee was already wafting through the air.
Linda was sitting inside, idly playing with a hand grinder for top-quality coffee beans.
Without a word, Jessica walked in, closed the door decisively, took off her hat and mask, casually placed her coat aside, and lazily sat down. She then put a file bag on the table and pushed it towards Linda.
Surprised by Jessica's preemptive attitude, Linda paused in her actions, looking at the leather file bag. "What's this?"
"See for yourself."
Perplexed, Linda reached out, opened the file bag, and saw a thick stack of paper documents inside. The first sheet she pulled out detailed the embezzlement of funds from the Jenner family's company and several real estate transactions from the Jenner family's private accounts over the years since she married into the family.
"What do you mean?"
"Can't you see? These are just backup files. Ms. Jenner, you called me out today, thinking I'm still the little girl you used to bully and exploit. Do you want to negotiate with me and let Trinity off the hook, especially regarding the incident with Tori, which concerns all her future honors and acting career?"
Jessica continued coldly, "Of course, this also includes Keegan Chloe. Even if he has seen through a lot more than five years ago, there are still many things he is unaware of. Right now, he just wants to distance himself from you all. Have you ever thought about what he would do if all the truths were exposed?"
Linda's face turned grim. "How did you get hold of these things? Did you investigate me?"
Jessica replied indifferently, "Do you think I silently endured so many years at the Jenner family without grasping anything? Or perhaps you want to see more? Like those rooms you used for affairs outside or the financial assets of your lovers that you embezzled? Or whether Trinity Jenner is truly Eugene Jenner's daughter, whether she shares the same father as me or has a different one? Or the fire at the small inn five years ago."
Suddenly losing control, Linda grabbed the hand grinder on the table and viciously swung it towards Jessica's head.
Jessica slightly turned her face, and the object crashed onto the floor, creating a loud noise.
Pale-faced, Linda stared at her in disbelief. "How dare you investigate me! You monster! I knew back then that you often locked yourself in the dance studio, didn't talk, didn't communicate with anyone, and refused to answer questions. You're just a psychologically troubled monster!"
Jessica's expression remained unchanged. "Facing a woman who caused the death of my mother and your daughter you got from an affair, I was just a child back then. What could I do? Do you think burning Eugene Jenner's biological daughter to death, expelling her from the Jenner family, would secure Ms. Jenner's position?"
Linda was stunned, her eyes wide with shock.
After a long pause, she asked guardedly, "So why did you agree to help Trinity dance back then? At that time, you had already harbored rebellious thoughts. Don't think I don't know. Five years ago, the way you looked at me was no longer as innocent as when you were a child."
Jessica replied calmly, "Do I have the right to refuse to be blamed by everyone? Besides, I'm the one dancing for Trinity. As long as I'm alive, I am the most powerful evidence that can destroy Trinity's acting career. I wouldn't miss this opportunity to become a time bomb in your lives."
The weather this season was unpredictable, with the sky clearing up outside for a while before turning cold and overcast again.
The cafe's air conditioning provided a comfortable warmth. The air was filled with the strong aroma of coffee.
Linda looked at the stack of documents in her hand and then back at Jessica. "Do you have anything else?"
Jessica said calmly as if laughing, "Plenty, enough to keep you and your daughter awake every night."
