Chapter 714


    Sonia’s words made sense to the crowd. It was a fact that Jessica had been making ims without


    providing any evidence to the public. No one knew whether what she said was the truth or not. All


    she had given the public were words, after all. As long as she hadn’t produced any evidence, it


    meant that no one could determine the validity of her statements. If the truth couldn’t be proven,


    why would Jessica continue to emphasize that Sonia had done something wrong?


    Previously, the crowd hadn’t realized what was going on. However, after they heard what Sonia


    said, they realized that her words had some truth to it. It did seem like Jessica was doing all the


    talking in order to brainwash them and make them believe that Sonia had done something bad.


    Then, Jessica got the public to point their fingers at Sonia, so that everyone wouldbel Sonia as


    the illegitimate daughter and evil sister who bullied Jessica.


    Once the public realized this, they also realized that they no longer knew who was the evil person in


    that situation. Even if Sonia had actually done bad things, the public could tell that Jessica was no


    innocent saint either. At that thought, many of the reporters and audiences turned to Jessica with


    looks of astonishment on their faces. One reporter broke the silence to ask Jessica a question.


    “Miss Jessica, since you imed that Miss Reed has bullied you and your mother since you were a


    child, you probably have some evidence, right?”


    “Yeah. You also mentioned that Miss Reed isn’t your father’s biological daughter, but you didn’t


    provide us any solid proof for that. If you can’t give us any evidence of this, and if you can’t prove


    that your father’s ex-wife had Sonia with another man, then we have enough reason to question


    your motives! Would we be wrong to suspect that you’re harming Miss Reed intentionally because


    you’re displeased by the fact that she has more shares than you?’ one reporter cried.


    “That’s right, Miss Jessica. Please exin yourself. If you can’t provide us with sturdy evidence,


    then whatever you said online can be considered as defamation. You’d have to face the


    consequences of thew.” When Jessica saw all the reporters turning to interrogate her, she felt her


    chest heaving up and down as her eyes turned red. She had been sneakily enjoying herself while


    the reporters interrogated Toby and Sonia just moments ago, and she hadn’t expected the tables to


    turn so quickly.


    Unfortunately, Jessica didn’t have the evidence that the public wanted. “Why aren’t you answering


    us, Miss Jessica? Are you hiding something?” The reporters began to question Jessica when they


    saw her staying silent. Even the online audiences discussed it in the livestream chat.


    ‘Did you see that? Miss Jessica sure looks frantic when she’s questioned by the reporters,’ one


    commented.


    ‘I don’t think she’s frantic. I think that’s a look of guilt on her face. My brother always looks like that


    when he does something wrong and doesn’t want to admit it. I know that expression too well,’


    another one replied.


    ‘Are you saying that there’s something wrong with Miss Jessica?’ someone asked.


    ‘Of course! I’m 100 percent sure that what Jessica said was a lie. If it were true, why wouldn’t she


    give us evidence? She could have given her evidence to the police after reporting about this online


    yesterday. Yet, she didn’t take any action or show any evidence—all she did was whine on the


    Inte. A normal person wouldn’t do that, would they?” ‘You’re right. I would’ve made a police


    report if I were Jessica,’ another one replied.


    Although Jessica couldn’t see thements that were being written about her in the live stream,


    she could tell from the demeanors of the reporters that the situation online probably wasn’t looking


    too good for her. With her fists clenched and her eyes darting around anxiously, Jessica attempted


    to reply to the reporters. “It’s true that I don’t have evidence of Sonia bullying me. After all, I


    mentioned that this happened when I was young. How am I supposed to find evidence for my


    childhood incidents?”


    “You also said that Miss Reed isn’t your father’s biological daughter. Do you have proof of that, Miss


    Jessica?” The reporters held their microphones up to her. Jessica took a nce at Sonia who was


    on the stage. In an instant, the fear and panic in Jessica’s face were reced with a smirk. “Of


    course I have evidence for that,” she replied. She expected Sonia to panic the moment she uttered


    those words. I’m about to expose Sonia’s true identity in front of the whole world, so she should be


    afraid of me now. Everyone’s going to know that she’s not a child of the Reed Family.


    But to Jessica’s surprise, Sonia didn’t show a hint of fear in her eyes, and she even began to giggle


    and chat with the man beside her. No one heard what Sonia said to Toby, but Toby turned to give


    her a fond gaze. Jessica gritted her teeth in anger when she saw the man gazing at Sonia


    affectionately. You guys canugh all you want now! Jessica thought as she looked away. Well see


    who’s the oneughing in a while!


    At that thought, Jessica spread her lips into an arrogant smile once more as she held onto the


    microphone and stared directly at the reporters’ cameras. “It’s easy to prove if Sonia is my father’s


    daughter or not. We can run a DNA test. I’m my father’s biological daughter, so if Sonia does a DNA


    test with me, it’ll tell whether we are biological sisters. If the results show that we aren’t, then it’ll


    prove that Sonia isn’t my father’s daughter. It’ll prove that she’s a product of her mom and some


    other man.”


    “That does sound like a good n.” The reporters nodded agreeably. Jessica took another nce at


    Sonia as she lifted her chin to provoke Sonia. “Would you dare to do that with me, Sonia?”


    Everyone turned their attention to Sonia as they anticipated her answer. Sonia responded with a


    calm smile. “Of course I would dare to do that. However, there is no need for it.” “What do you


    mean?” Jessica knitted her brows together. “Are you trying to hide the truth from everyone and lie


    your way out of this situation?”


    “When did I say anything about hiding anything from others?” Sonia raised an eyebrow while ring


    at Jessica coldly.


    Jessica let out a resentful scoff. “If you’re not trying to hide, then why did you say that there’s no


    need for a DNA test?”


    “There’s a simple answer to that—it’s useless to run a DNA test because it’s true that we’re not


    sisters. The test will not indicate that we’re rted to one another, so it’s pointless to run the test.”


    Sonia flicked her wrist dismissively. Meanwhile, Toby reached his hand out toward Daphne, who


    was standing beside them. Daphne knew what he wanted, so she quickly lowered the files that she


    had been hugging in her arms.


    Once Toby took the file, he slowly flipped through it. The contents were rted to the procedures


    the Reeds went through to adopt Sonia. Meanwhile, Jessica and the reporters were equally


    shocked when they heard Sonia. “Miss Reed, it sounds like you’ve known this all along. How long


    has it been since you knew that you’re not Jessica’s biological sister?” Sonia held onto one of the


    microphones. “I’ve known this all along, but I only obtained this information about two months ago.”

    “Miss Reed, doesn’t that mean that your mother actually did it with another guy...” The reporter


    trailed off. She knew how offensive this statement could be to some individuals. Of course, the


    reporter wouldn’t have had to consider so many things if Sonia had been alone. However, since the


    man beside Sonia was a person who held power over everyone, all of the reporters had to be


    especially cautious when they spoke.


    At that very moment, Toby frowned in response to the reporter’s question. The reporter who had


    posed the question could feel her heart racing. She even regretted asking the question. But the


    world was filled with idiots, and the reporter was just one of them.


    When Jessica saw the reporter chickening out, she decided that she would step forward to


    complete the reporter’s questions. “Sonia, the reporter is asking if you knew that your mother had


    given birth to you after sleeping around with another man.” “Jessica, you—“ The reporter hadn’t


    expected Jessica toplete her question. She even highlighted that I, the reporter, was the one


    who asked this question. Isn''t she just trying to sabotage me? The female reporter stared at the


    couple on stage with fear in her eyes. Her chest tightened when she saw the icy look on both Toby


    and Sonia’s faces.
