Chapter 3

Merry cried in front of the camera and then shook her head in horror, "Don't talk nonsense, Jemima is very good to me, really, really, Jemima is really very good to me."

This video was posted on Facebook as a clickbait. Some people started to make a fuss, saying that Jemima must have treated Merry badly because she cried so much. Then, the fuss was all over the place.

They all said that my personality had collapsed, saying that I was gentle in front of the screen but vicious behind the screen. And Merry kept recording videos to clarify, but when she recorded the videos, her right eye was bruised. Netizens immediately speculated that I had hit Merry. Then, I became obscure.

This was the entertainment industry, with the power of the Internet, someone could change from popular to obscure, in the blink of an eye.

Later, Zack and Samuel held a press conference, publicly expressing their disappointment in me and shouted across the air, asking me not to be willful anymore and asked me to apologize publicly. Finally, they also said that they would push Merry to debut.

I went to them to explain, but they didn't believe me at all. Instead, they protected Merry in their arms, as if I would really hit someone.

And they said to me fiercely, "Jemima, you have to apologize publicly immediately, otherwise we will hide you!"

I didn't apologize and they really hid me.

During the three months when I was hidden, Merry appeared on four variety shows to become familiar to the public. With her "gentle and considerate" personality, she quickly became popular. She even released her own album, but the songs in the album were my original songs, but I didn't include them in the album because I was not satisfied with them.

I wanted to find Zack and Samuel again, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with my family's business and they urgently needed capital injection.

***

When I returned home, I saw the man who had been pestering me for almost 20 years, Jason. His family's wealth in California was more than one level higher than mine.

When I was in elementary school, he still had a runny nose and asked me to be his wife. When I grew up, his pursuit became more intense, but Zack and Samuel blocked it. Zack and Samuel were almost killed by him when they were thrown into the sea.

That time I slapped him and that was also the time I saw deep sadness in his eyes. Since then, he rarely appeared in front of me.

When I saw him at home, he was talking to my dad about funding my family.

I strode into the study, picked up the teacup on the table and splashed it on his face, saying coldly, "Jason, my family's business is in trouble. Are you the one who is causing trouble? You just want to force me to marry you, right?"

Dad slammed the table, "Jemima, if Jason is such a person, wouldn't he have used this method long ago?"

I realized that I was too impulsive, but I refused to apologize because of my face.

Jason just wiped his face and said helplessly, "Why don't you believe me?"

Then he shook his head and left. Even when he was helpless, his tone was full of pampering for me.

Later I told my dad that I would find a way to deal with this matter.

***

On my birthday, I invited Zack and Samuel and they brought Merry. They knew that I was allergic to alcohol, but they still forced me to drink.

And the one who saved me was the man I had hurt. I suddenly felt that I was a little ridiculous. For more than 20 years, I had never seen clearly what the people around me look like.
