Chapter 376


    J had no idea what had been happening outside.


    Stewing in her own anxiety, she locked herself up at home. She drew all the curtains shut, plunging the


    room in depressing shadows.


    The fridge was empty. Ethan went out to buy some food. When J peeked through the curtain to


    look outside, winter dusk greeted her, which very much looked like nighttime.


    There was still arge group of fans besieging the neighborhood, especially their building. J


    sighed. She was about to look away when a new wave ofmotion seemed to stir the crowd.


    Everyone was still very agitated. They were looking at something on their phones and discussing


    animatedly among themselves. However, the “J, apologize” banners had gone down, and no one


    screamed and cursed at J’s window anymore.


    J felt that the angry mob was no longer upset with her. They seemed to have calmed down a bit.


    The security guards blew the whistles and dispersed the crowd. Finally, they were able to clear a path


    through the gate.


    J’s phone then rang.


    Because the room was as silent as a tomb, the sound startled J. She rushed to find her phone and


    answer the call.


    J had no idea what had been happening outside.


    Stewing in her own anxiety, she locked herself up at home. She drew all the curtains shut, plunging the


    room in depressing shadows. It was Laney.


    Since J and Laney parted at the staircase, they hadn’t contacted each other. J felt that since


    she was the target of public criticism now, she might get Laney in trouble if she keptmunicating


    with her.


    “J? Have you checked your phone?” Laney asked in an excited voice, which was rare. She usually


    spoke in a nonchnt monotone.


    “No. Ethan took away my phone and shut off the Inte connection. He was afraid that I would be


    even more anxious if I checked my phone,” J replied, drooping her shoulders.


    “Then turn on the TV and check out the news.”


    “Sorry, I don’t think that’s such a good idea. I’m not in the best of moods right now. If I watch the news


    now, I may have to ask for a long leave after,” J said as if she was joking. She didn’t want others to


    think that she cared too much.


    Laney said with a smile in her voice, “It’s not about you. It’s about Emani. Last night, a lot of news


    against Emani was exposed to the public, and she’s now being criticized online. I think seeing it on TV


    will make you feel better.”


    Laney’s words reminded J of the strange scenes downstairs just now. She picked up the remote


    control on the tea table and reluctantly turned on the TV.


    Emani was indeed all over the news. Her dirty past had beenid out in the open, and many influential


    TV personalities were condemning her and calling her a bad influence whose immorality knew no


    bounds.


    The public’s attention was now on Emani. It seemed that everyone had already forgotten about J.


    J was stunned. She couldn’t believe that she had survived such a desperate situation. She didn’t


    understand how the tables suddenly turned, but she was immensely relieved.

    She switched to another TV channel. It was broadcasting news from someone who imed to be


    present at the scenic tourist spot where Emani met her ident. He released a video he had taken at


    that time. Emani and J were on it, and they were by theke.


    The angle was perfect, and it captured what really happened between J and Emani that day.


    J hadn’t touched Emani the entire time. It was Emani who held J’s hand and seemed to use


    much force. J looked a little ufortable in the video, but before she could do anything, Emani


    had already fallen into theke.
