Chapter 368 Trade Nothing for Chris

The next day, before Joanne woke up, the news of her and Brian's reunion had spread through the Internet; the news on X and major gossip websites had exploded.

The source of the gossip was that an authoritative entertainment magazine published photos of Brian and Joanne entering and leaving a private hospital and kissing in a car. The content of the report was even more explosive-

"The staff of the County Clerk Office said that Brian and Joanne had never gone through the divorce formalities, and in the legal sense they are still husband and wife."

"The staff of the 8th People's Hospital said that Joanne appeared in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for the purpose of obstetric examinations."

"Joanne's former colleague released the news that Shawn and Joanne are really just good friends. They have known each other for seven or eight years, and they had been together in college. As for that day when they went in and out of the hotel, it was only for the official affairs of the police station."

......

In summary, not only did Joanne and Brian not divorce, Joanne did not have an abortion operation, and the ambiguous relationship between Shawn and Joanne was even clarified...

The sudden reversal was like a dense net. Except for the parties, the people watching that farce were trapped in the net and could not see the truth.

Rosalyn's X was a storm again; hundreds of thousands of comments were published with the same sentence: Weren't you with Brian?

Her agent and assistant were even worse, and the phone was shut down because of calls by various media outlets.

Brian already knew what would happen that day, so he had shut down Joanne's phone.

Without interruption, Joanne slept until eight o'clock.

When she woke up, Brian was just getting ready to leave. She simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep-Brian thought that she was still sleeping, so he didn't call her for breakfast, and she could just sleep till ten o'clock.

Before leaving the room, Brian looked at Joanne as usual, and found that her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings. He smiled, and kissed her eyes.

Joanne knew that she was about to be exposed so she raised her lips, but still closed her eyes and pretended to sleep soundly.

Brian could do nothing about it with her, and tucked her in. "If youre hungry, remember to ask Martha to bring breakfast up."

Joanne nodded, and slept some more before slowly getting up.

After brushing her teeth, she suddenly felt that her stomach wasn't quite right, and when she was about to go back to the room to lie down, her stomach made a tumble at that moment, and she vomited a lot.

The thing Martha was most afraid of was to see Joanne throw up, so she caressed her back and said, "I'll call the young master!"

Joanne hurriedly grabbed Martha and shook her head. "I'm fine. He should have just arrived at the company, let him work."

Brian had so many things that he needed to handle every day. If he wasted time rushing back, it would be equivalent to asking him to work overtime at night. Joanne didn't want him to be needlessly tired.

"But," said Martha in a dilemma, "The young master also specifically explained before going out that if youre not comfortable, I had to call him."

Joanne smiled, gargled and pulled Martha downstairs. She said, "See, do I look uncomfortable?"

Martha thought for a while. "If you don't vomit later, I will listen to you and won't call the company."

Joanne was relieved for a while and ate breakfast slowly, fearing that eating too fast would cause nausea.

Near noon, she received a call from Freya, knowing that the photo taken at the hospital that day was exposed, and she was talked about by everyone again.

"I'm going to be interviewed by the media today. They will definitely ask me about you and Brian. How do you want me to answer?" That was why Freya made the call.

Joanne knew Freya so much, and had a bad feeling. She warned Freya seriously, "Don't say anything wrong."

"Of course I can't talk nonsense," Freya grinned a few times and continued, "My purpose is very simple-to irritate Rosalyn. According to the staff around her, her temper is getting more irritable. I guess she can spontaneously ignite if I just say a few words!"

"Freya..."

Before Joanne finished talking, Freya said she was going to put on makeup and hung up the phone decisively. Joanne felt it was too troublesome.

She didn't know what her brother thought, and actually allowed Freya to enter the entertainment circle again. She could set off an entertainment storm in minutes!

After Freya and Chris talked last time, Freya had gone back to the company to find Candy the next day. She tried to post something on X and was reported by multiple media that she had returned to the industry. Candy thus took the opportunity to let the PR department release the announcement, that Freya was back and arranged an interview for her that day.

The news of Joanne and Brian was so explosive. Regarding the relationship between Freya and Joanne, they didn't need to worry about not finding media that would care about it.

Candy's wishful thinking was not wrong. The reporters all came. Cameras were aimed at Freya, capturing her most beautiful side at any time.

At first, Freya couldn't avoid being asked about giving up the finals and even being questioned if he didn't respect her opponents.

Freya replied with a smile, "I hope my competitors can respect me, and I will also respect them firsthand. At that time, because my parents had a serious car accident, I couldn't get the most out of the runway when I was in that situation. For this reason, I gave up the game. Isn't this a form of respect?"

"Freya, you used to be the most favored dark horse, but you disappeared for almost three months. Have you ever worried about the audience forgetting about you?"

Freya shrugged. "Then Ill make them remember me again. Didn't anyone know me at first? I started from scratch."

Listening to Freya's answer, Candy nodded gladly. She really grew up after leaving for three months.

But the next thing made Candy clearly realize that Freya had not changed.

The question suddenly shifted to Joanne and Brian. That was Freya's returning press conference. Candy wanted to signal the reporters to stop asking those questions that had nothing to do with Freya. But Freya stopped her.

At present, Joanne could not be contacted. Rosalyn and Brian refused to respond. Freya was the only person they could dig some material from. Several cameras were like pairs of sharp eyes, staring at Freya.

The reporter asked, "Freya, are Mr. Lambert and Mrs. Lambert really not divorced?"

Freya was puzzled. "They have known each other for more than ten years, and they have always considered each other to be the one. After marriage, they have always been so good that single people cant bear the sight of them. Why divorce?"

"What about the scandal between Mr. Lambert and Rosalyn? Everyone thought they really were together."

"Someone directed and acted independently, misleading the media, so they were just fooled," Freya smiled, looked at the camera and said, "Now, Miss Rosalyn should wake up from her sweet dream. Hes destined not to be hers, and will never be hers... even if she succeeds in making everyone think she's got him, in the end... what's the use?"

What she said successfully made the reporters excited. They wanted to ask for more details, and wanted to know how Rosalyn self-directed and played it by herself. Freya then signaled Candy a look at that moment, and Candy understood, it and took the wireless microphone to say, "Now, if there are no more questions about Freya's comeback, please wait for next time."

The reporters were also smart and knew that Freya would not answer if they kept asking, so they simply gossiped about Freya. "Freya, can you talk about your relationship? Someone claiming to be your college classmate posted online saying that you have been pursuing the president of the Everbridge Group during your entire university years, is that true?"

Freya shook her head seriously. "No."

Pursuing made her sound cheap, so in order to maintain her own image, it was normal for Freya to deny it. The reporters were trying to follow up and suddenly heard Freya say,

"That classmate, his news was not detailed enough. Who said that I chased Chris since I was in college? I was already chasing him since I was a graduate student in high school."

The candid tone made it look like she was just talking to an old friend about something very usual. The reporter seats were quiet for half a second, and then a burst of relaxed laughter suddenly appeared. The reporter hurriedly asked, "Freya, you don't seem to mind, can you tell us in detail?"

All of Freya's friends knew the fact that she had chased after Chris. She also seemed to be numb after being ridiculed for so many times. Even if she didn't say it, it would be dug out by the media. She might as well tell it to satisfy the public's curiosity.

Freya drank some water, admitting that she had pursued Chris specially for more than ten years and had done a lot of stupid things.

The reporters on the press bench all laughed, and the atmosphere of the interview became more and more relaxed. In the end, it was not so much an interview as a chat between friends.

Near the end of the press conference, a female reporter raised her hand. "Freya, I have a crush on a person for a long time, but I don't have your courage, can you tell me how are you and Mr. Scott now?"

"We now are..." Freya shrugged. "He still disdains me like he used to."

"Are you ready to give up?"

"Give up?" Freya shook her head, "No, he can only be mine in this life. At the moment I decided to chase him, I had also decided not to give up. I will keep chasing him until... the day he marries me."

There was another round of laughter in the press conference. "Why would you want to chase him like this? If you give up on him, I believe there will be many outstanding young talents chasing you."

"I just want this person," Freya said, "Even though there are so many young talents out there!"

Candy looked at Freya close by, feeling helpless.

The reporters present were almost all for Joanne and Brian; there was actually no one that really wanted to report on Freya's comeback.

When reporters asked about Brian and Joanne, Freya cooperated fully. Candy thought that the title of that interview would not be "Lost with the champion, Freya announced to return" as she originally thought, but "Freya returned, responding about her friend Joanne's emotional situation."

But Freya's final frankness not only made the atmosphere at the scene relaxed and natural, but also made herself the protagonist again. Her comeback and emotional experience would soon become the headlines of major websites. In contrast, Brian and Joanne's materials were not that important anymore.

Candy didn't know if Freya was smart or if her personality always made her clumsy.
