Chapter 175 Slandering For Slandering
As soon as Kent hung up the phone, he walked into the room inside. Emily was sitting there, but in a condescending manner, she confronted everyone.
"The victim's family is here. You can tell him your problem." The policeman was annoyed by the woman, so when he saw Kent come in, he immediately pushed the matter on Kent. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
When Emily and Kent looked at each other, there was a moment of panic in Emily's eyes. In the past, she only thought that Kent was a frail scholar, but she didn't expect that he would be so powerful when she saw him again.
He had an aura of a superior. The position of the editor in chief had made great contributions to Kent's aura.
"Miss Bai, it's been a long time," Kent greeted her with a faint smile. He was still the gentleman, but his eyes were as sharp as eagle's.
"Mr. Jiang, I have a question for you. Why did you ask the police to take me here?" Emily didn't like Kent, just like she didn't like Melinda.
She didn't like anyone who was kind to Melinda. In her opinion, they were all blind that they would be kind to Melinda. Nelson was the most serious one, and the second one was Kent.
"Of course for a serious matter. Miss Bai, have you forgotten that you have threatened Mellie so soon?" Kent pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, as if a ray of cold light flashed. Hearing what he said, Emily was in a panic and then sneered.
"Are you making up a story? I know you're a good story teller. But why would I do such things to destroy my reputation since I'm so famous? What's wrong with me?"
Emily said, with her fingers under the table clenching tightly. She forced herself to cheer up and deal with the person in front of her.
She didn't forget that Kent was a smart man. He was eloquent enough to turn the dark into the white.
"I don't know if there is anything wrong with you, but you did do that," Kent said and sat at the opposite side of Emily calmly. The police looked at them and found that Emily was like a clown.
"Stop talking nonsense here. I have no reason to do that. And, where is the evidence?"
said Emily. She believed that the person would not expose her. Hearing her words, Kent frowned as if he thought of a difficult thing. Which made Emily a little proud. She pointed at the police and said, "I want to sue this person for slander and destroy my reputation. I'm a public figure. Do you know how serious the effect is?"
While the policemen looked at each other, a woman came in again. This woman was Emily's new agent, who was in her thirties and was very composed. Hearing Emily's yelling, she frowned.
She wouldn't take over the awful mess if her superior didn't ask her to accept the job.
Although Emily was cleaned up, her agent knew clearly that Emily was just a mess. And she didn't expect that the mess would make trouble for her as she was called to the police just after a few days since she took over this mess.
"You come at the right time. I will sue this person for defamation."
Seeing that her agent came, Emily became more arrogant. This woman was arranged by Jonas, since she was well connected, if she came, she would definitely find a way to get away.
What was more, Kent had no evidence now.
Emily was too innocent to think about that. If there was no evidence, would the police station let Kent mess around with her?
Melinda had got the evidence from Jonas under the instruction of Kent.
"Sir, do you think there is any evidence that Emily has frightened your friend?"
Her agent ignored Emily. Emily could only mutter how famous she was, not substantial words.
"Miss Bai is so popular. If she does something, it's not hard to find that," Kent said with a smile, but the agent actually felt a sense of danger from it.
Kent said that at a double answer, and he was vague with her. She couldn't help but think whether he had any evidence. If she was set up, what should she do? And the most annoying thing was that she didn't know the truth. She had to stick to the principle to protect Emily.
"Of course. But the star also has the privacy, if the privacy is invaded, we also must pay attention to it." The agent said with Kent for a while, but they didn't get to the point.
"Privacy? The latest news? But fortunately, you've been very careful and protected her in just a few days."
The agent's face darkened as he heard the irony in Kent's words. Those policemen who disliked Emily laughed out loud unkindly.
"Kent, don't go too far!" Emily stood up and was about to confront with Kent, but was pressed down by the agent. Kent was still smiling indifferently. "This is the police station. Please watch your behavior, Miss Bai."
"A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Mr. Jiang, what on earth do you want to do? Why do you slander Emily like this?"
The agent said, seeing Emily's expression, she knew that it was likely to be true, while Kent was the most reasonable one. When the agent asked, he told her the recent things slowly.
It was reasonable and convincing.
Then a policeman came forward and reported. They had received evidence. Although the case was not serious, Emily should bear legal responsibilities.
"Mr. Jiang, Emily is a public figure. How about we carry out a private mediation?" The agent realized that Kent had come well prepared, so she looked at Emily angrily. But she still maintained her calm and experienced.
She knew what to do was the best solution.
"It seems to be good to mediate in private. But I am so sorry that the police have to go through this. It is better to make your superstar, apologize to the victim."
The word "superstar" couldn't hide a trace of mockery in his tone. It seemed that Kent was easy to persuade. But his attitude showed that he would solve the problem for sure. Otherwise, Emily would be sent to the police station for a few days.
Apologizing might be the best solution.
"I don't want to apologize to that bitch." Emily's reaction was the most intense. Hearing that, Emily's agent almost fainted. Was she still thinking that it was not a big deal? Her attitude was still as bad as before.
Just as she expected, the smile on Kent's face froze. "Make the apology public, or we'll sue you. No negotiation."
Even though the agent was skillful, it was useless since Kent rejected the negotiation at this time. Thinking that it was all Emily's own fault, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
What kind of person did she take over? Her reputation in the business circle was almost ruined.
Not letting them go, Kent sat still. The agent finally compromised and let Emily apologize to the victim.
"These policemen can prove it. What's more, if the victim is hurt by anything recently, it will be all up to you. You'd better not let me have any evidence,"
Kent said jokingly, but no one would think it was a joke. And now, what was worse, they not only had to apologize, but also had to protect Melinda.
Emily didn't expect that things would end up like this. She was unwilling to accept this, but she knew that this agent was very powerful.
The group of people left the police station in tumult. Still, a lot of media were informed. Her agent had become a professional one at this point. No one knew what she had done to turn the media's attention to Kent.
Kent was sort of a celebrity now.
"Just solving a problem." Kent smiled gently. He didn't want to say anything, but he reminded the media to pay more attention to Weibo.
Both sides decided to let Emily apologize to Melinda and made an address. As for Kent, it would be better for Emily to hold a press conference, but he should be cautious.
The paparazzi had a keen sense of smell. After hearing Kent's words, they sneaked into the police station again to ask for the news. The policemen were all satisfied with what just happened. Emily
irritated everyone and they told everything to the media.
At that night, the video of Emily coming to the police station appeared on Weibo. With the news that those paparazzi got from the police station, negative news about Emily instantly emerged on the news.
This made those people very happy. Last time when Emily was whitewashed, they were not reconciled at all. It was an accumulated negative news, but just like this, their hard work was whitewashed.
It was another blow to Emily's popularity.
The next morning, after Melinda arrived at the company, she received a link from Kent, so she knew what had happened. And at this time, Victor also came up to her.
"Are you all right?"
"What?"
Hearing that, Melinda raised her head in astonishment. She had thought that it was a business call from Victor, but she hadn't expected that he was caring about her. Then she realized that as a semi media company, they naturally knew that.
"It's okay. Thank you,"
Melinda said politely. Noticing that she treated him indifferently, Victor felt uncomfortable and wanted to care more about her. Picking up the cup on the table, Melinda said, "I'll go get some hot water. Please sit here yourself, Mr. Cheng."
This news must have been known to everyone in the company. At the thought of their questions, Melinda felt her head was aching. She had just found an excuse to leave.
The gossips about her and Victor had just dissipated. She didn't make any topic to pry into.
Melinda remembered Emily's sullen face under the camera and only thought that she looked so pitiful that it seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice.
It was just that this was obviously a show, no wonder there were some comments that this video was more fake than her acting skill.
They didn't know what politeness was. They were just slandering for slandering her.
However, it didn't matter. Melinda was happy to see that Emily was beaten. After suffering a lot during this period, she finally had a chance to vent her anger.
