Chapter 55 All of a sudden, Agnes was the talk of the room.
She was stunned too.
Everyone around was from Agnesâ Journalism Society. They were all looking back and forth between her and Jenny with curiosity.
What the heck was happening?
Jenny was marching over to Agnes, looking pretty peeved. Sheâd even forgotten her usual grace. Pointing at Agnes, Jenny blurted out, âAgnes, why are you framing me? How could you be so ruthless? You created this audio to set me up; wasnât it enough for you to ruin my child with Elton?â
Jennyâs words were loaded, and a crowd began to gather.
Agnes felt a touch dizzy, but she kept her cool and responded, âI didnât fake the audio. You know in your heart if Iâm framing you.â
Elton had also slowly made his way over.
His icy stare sent a chill down the spine, and Jenny realized that Elton was starting to doubt her.
She quickly responded, âElton, you have to believe me. I was really pregnant with your child. You know Agnes hates me; she hates that I took you from her. Thatâs why she killed our baby and is now framing me. Elton, you must believe me.â
Elton didnât respond to Jenny but asked Agnes, âDid you do this?â
Agnes felt a coldness in her chest. Was Elton suspecting her too?
Yes, Elton had believed before that Jennyâs child was killed by her.
âIt wasnât her, it was me,â a calm and deep voice said from behind the crowd.
Though cold, the voice carried an innate dignity.
It was Jared from the Whitfield family!
Hancock Taylor and Sarah hurried over.
Jared approached Hancock Taylor and said, âI was the one who released this audio, but the content is real. Although the Taylor family and the Whitfield family arenât close, I respect you as an elder, I couldnât just sit back and watch a scheming girl play around with the Taylor family. I played this recording in public just for Elton to see her true colors. I hope you wonât blame me.â
What was supposed to be the Taylor family engagement party turned into a spectacle because of this video. The Taylor family had been humiliated. But if this were true, they should be thanking Jared.
Jenny didnât expect Jared to step in at this moment.
Jenny blurted, âHe and Agnes are in cahoots. Agnes is kept by Jared. They are out to get me.â
Jared replied coolly, âJenny, I reserve my right to sue you for defamation. But I, Jared, would never wrong a good person and would never let a bad person go.â
Jared picked up his phone and made a call, saying only two words: âCome in.â
Then a man walked in through the door.
He was Patrick, the wellâknown yet controversial head gynecologist at Hope Hospital, he was known by many.
Patrick came over and said, âJenny, Iâm truly sorry. As a doctor, I canât go against my conscience to help you falsify pregnancy and miscarriage documents. Iâve been restless these days. Iâve confessed my actions to my superiors and resigned from my job.
Now, the only thing I can do is reveal the truth to make up for my guilt. I also want to advise you: Youâre still young, you should start over.â
Jenny shook her head, pointing at the crowd, and said, âThey teamed up to frame me.â
