At this moment, the police chief received a message and walked in directly. He shook hands with Patrick and said, “Mr. Pansy, what are you doing here?” The police officer next to him looked confused.


    “Rodrigo, your people arrested me and imed that there were drugs in my car,” Patrick red at the officer fiercely.


    “Mrs. Pansy, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Pleasee with me,” said the chief as he led them both into his office. The young policeman followed closely behind.


    Jane exined briefly about what had happened. The police chief was furious and scolded Officer Ben saying, “Ben, how could you do such a thing? Mr. Pansy is our esteemed guest! If it weren’t for the contributions made by the Pansy family to our city through donations and charity work, we wouldn’t even have a ce inw enforcement.”


    Officer Ben apologized profusely saying, “Mr. Pansy I’m sorry but your friend’s drug possession…”


    “After we get results from testing his body for drugs, then we’ll know who’s telling the truth,” Jane interjected sensibly.


    She also wanted to find out who was behind all of this mess.


    April returned home and began to overthink. The more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she felt. They were so close to rescuing Marco, why was everything so difficult?


    At that moment, someone online exposed a series of recorded phone calls. Jane looked at the news and listened to the contents of the recording. The voices were that of April and the journalist who exposed them, but the recording had been manipted.


    “Some people can’t control themselves anymore. I’m starting to worry about April,” Jane said, afraid that she might do something foolish on her own.


    “It’s almost over, don’t worry,” Patrick seemed to hold a positive attitude and wasn’t so pessimistic.


    The online recording escted, and everyone started pointing fingers at April, believing that she couldn’t distinguish reality and was obstructing the drug user. Thements section was filled with insults.


    “How did April be like this? If it weren’t for this journalist, we wouldn’t even know about Marco’s character.”


    “That’s right, dating someone like him, the likability has gone down the drain. Turning from a fan to a hater.”


    “Unfollow, unfollow.”


    As Jane watched the increasing number of negativements, she contacted thepany’s public rtions department to find a way to remove the hot topic and sent a few people to keep an eye on April at her home.


    Meanwhile, Patrick and Jane were still at the police station, waiting. The people associated with Marco were also arrested.


    They spent the entire night at the police station, until early the next morning, when they finally released Marco and handed them his test report.


    The chief himself delivered it, just like the day before.


    “Sorry, Mr. Pansy, we made a mistake. Mr. Gibson’s body doesn’t show any traces of drug use. As for that package of drugs, it seems we made a mistake,” Rodrigo’s exnation satisfied Patrick.


    “Thank you, Rodrigo. Because Marco is a public figure, I’ll need to use this test report. I hope you don’t mind,” Jane added, with this test report, everything would be much easier.


    Marco followed Patrick and left, and finally, a smile appeared on Jane’s face.


    “Let’s go straight back to thepanyter and release a statement. With this statement, let’s see who dares to cause trouble,” Jane ignited hope once again.


    Marco looked at the scenery outside the window, seemingly not as happy as expected.


    A few people arrived at Jane’spany, and the office was already bustling. Jane arranged the PR team in the meeting room, while Marco and Patrick waited in the office.


    As soon as they entered, Jane ced the test report on the table. “This is Marco’s body test report, and it has the police seal on it. Write a notice rifying the whole situation.”


    “Do we continue investigating the journalist who exposed us?” the PR department asked.


    “No need,” Jane waved her hand.


    The efficiency of her ownpany was fast. In no time, they sent over the statement, which was logical, clear in direction, and detailed in content. Combined with the test report, everything was in order.


    Jane directly released it through thepany’s official social media ount.


    Now, they just had to wait for the results. Jane also contacted a few marketing ounts to create a buzz, and several influential inte personalities could help spread the exnation of the whole situation.


    This fermented situation had finallye to a conclusion after nearly ten days.


    The whole situation had turned around.


    After the release of that statement, with the help of public opinion and Jane’s methods, the tide had turned. Although there were still a few people criticizing Marco and ming Jane in thements, they had been drowned out.


    The overall trend was in their favor.


    Finally, Jane let out a long sigh of relief, exchanging smiles with Patrick. It was good news after these past few days.


    “Now that this matter is settled, you can finally rest assured,” Jane patted Marco’s shoulder and then noticed another hot topic trending on the homepage.


    She opened it and realized it was posted by April. “Unconditional support for Marco, and also exposed some recorded phone calls.” Although the content was brief, it was an added bonus since the situation had already improved.


    It seemed that April was still concerned about Marco.


    “You see, some people are still looking out for you,” Jane pointed at the screen, showing Marco.


    Marco nced at it and let out a sigh.


    Afterward, they all went to April’s home. Patrick and Marco waited downstairs while Jane went upstairs alone.


    Several people from thepany stayed with April, and there was no immediate danger.


    When Jane arrived, she asked them to leave first.


    Seeing April sitting alone in front of theputer, she looked up with a bitter smile. “You’re here? Is everything okay now?”


    These past few days, she had been forcing herself not to care about anything rted to Marco. They had already rified everything online, but she found she couldn’t do it.


    “Don’t tell Marco I’m worried about him!” April’s first words were a plea.


    Jane let out a long sigh. “Why are you doing this? You clearly care deep down, so why pretend like you don’t?”


    Those statements already exined everything.


    “I’m afraid… I’m afraid everything will start over from scratch.” April calmly tried to control her emotions, not wanting to transmit this negativity to anyone.


    Jane walked up to her and gently tapped her back, her voice soft and delicate. “Don’t be afraid, it’s good to talk about it.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “The first time Marco chose to give up on me, I already felt heartbroken. Even though I chose to let go at that time, it wasn’t my first choice, nor what I wanted. Our rtionship back then was just as described in the public announcement.” April had never mentioned these things to Jane before.


    “I’m afraid… I’m afraid that our already fragile rtionship will crumble again, and all my efforts will be in vain. Then, what’s the point of struggling like this when it’s on the verge of copse?” April suddenly shouted out her thoughts, it was the first time she openly expressed her emotions.


    She was well aware of how fortunate she was to be with Marco, and she was grateful for this opportunity, but she didn’t want the tragedy to repeat itself.


    As April spoke, her eyes began to redden, tears struggling to stay at bay, and Jane looked at her with aching heart.


    “Have you ever thought about starting over with him?” Jane asked tentatively.


    April clenched her lips and shook her head. “I’ve never thought about it, nor do I dare to hope for it.”
