Chapter 210

He leaped up from his chair and stood up straight while fixing his gaze onto his phone with a dark expression.

Coincidentally, his secretary entered and reported to him dutifully, “President Morton, the Board of Directors meeting will begin in ten minutes.”

Jason tightened his expression without saying a word.

A few seconds passed before he replied, “Understood, you may leave.”

The secretary nodded and exited his office.

Jason took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation within and made a phone call.

Soon, his call was answered and Celine’s surprised voice could be heard on the other end. “Brother Jay.”

“What are you doing?”

“Me?” Celine was at the hospital. She glanced at Angel, who was beside her, and said in a guilty manner, “Nothing, I’m at the film set...”

“At the film set? Hmph! Looks like you aren’t aware of what’s going on on the internet?”

Celine was shocked and baffled.

“The internet? What about it?”

“What about it?! Go online and look at your handiwork!”

Jason yelled and hung up instantly.

His reaction took Celine by surprise. She regained her composure after a while and logged in to Weibo on her phone.

There, she discovered that the internet had been set ablaze with the netizens’ neverending comments and reactions. The video of her hitting Nell was now at the top of the list of hot topics, and the comment section was full of suspicions and harsh words directed towards her.

Celine’s expression shifted. She immediately watched the video and flew into a rage.

That skank!

It must be her!

She must have been plotting against her. She thought it was strange for Nell to behave that way. Usually, Nell was cold towards Jason, but today, she was so warm towards him!

She must have made those remarks on purpose to aggravate her, then instructed someone to film that video in secret.

That evil b*tch!

Celine started to panic. She recalled Jason’s furious tone and felt hesitant.

She decided to call him back.

When her call was picked up, she explained herself hastily, “Brother Jay, it isn’t what you think it is. It’s Nell, she set me up. The truth is unlike what you see on the internet.”

Jason muttered, “Are you saying that she, too, offered her face to be slapped by you?!”

Celine was startled.

“Brother Jay, you must believe me. I didn’t hit her on purpose. She aggravated me and I got heated...”

Tears began to fall from Celine’s eyes as she sobbed. “How could Sis be so cruel? It’s fine that she set me up, but to blow it out of proportion? She clearly knows how much this comeback means to me!”

Meanwhile, the doctor arrived and called her, “Celine, time for treatment.”

Jason overheard those words and asked skeptically, “Where are you?”

“I...” Celine hesitated and did not say a word.

Angel could not bear to see this any longer. She snatched the phone and cried, “Young Master Morton, you keep blaming Elder Sister Celine, but you refuse to see how she got hit by that evil woman because of you!

“Truth be told, we’re now at the hospital! Apart from getting slapped in the face twice, Elder Sister Celine suffered a kick too. The doctor said that her ribs showed signs of fracture. If we hadn’t gotten to the hospital in time, there might be complications later on!”

“Angel, shut your trap!”

Celine grabbed the phone from Angel and replied nervously, “Brother Jay, I’m fine, don’t worry. Sis... Sis has always been stronger than me. She probably didn’t mean it.”

The other end was silence.

Celine and Angel held their breaths as they waited for his response.

After some time, they heard him taking a deep breath and he spoke in a slower manner.

“Are you hurt?”

Celine shook her head. “Just some minor injuries. It isn’t serious at all.”

“Which hospital are you at? I’ll come over now.”

Celine bit her lip and felt uneasy. “Brother Jay, won’t this interfere with your work?”

“No, send me the address.”

“Al... Alright then!”

Once she hung up, Celine sent him her current location.

Angel stared at her and said, “Young Master Morton decided to come over as soon as he heard you are injured. This shows that he still cares about you.”

Celine nodded. “But of course.”

She felt a bit better now.

No matter what tricks Nell used against Brother Jay, he still loved Celine.

Or else, he would not have put his work aside to attend to her at once.

Brother Jay cared about her. There was simply no question about it!

When she thought of this, Celine stopped panicking and allowed herself to be treated by the doctor.

Thirty minutes later, Jason arrived.

Skylar accompanied him.

Having seen the video as well, she had ordered her subordinates to take the video off the hot topics and delete it.

In spite of this, she was fully aware that half a day had passed and the video had been shared widely across the internet. Taking down the video would not do much help.

At least, it was better than doing nothing at all.

Skylar consoled herself. When she noticed Celine, she ran towards her, looked at her from top to toe and asked, “How are you? Are you alright?”

Celine pursed her lips and shook her head.

She eyed Jason, who was standing behind Skylar, with her tearful puppy eyes.

“Brother Jay, I’m sorry, I caused you trouble again.”

Jason was evidently upset.

He never imagined this incident would happen.

He could not believe that Celine would be so impulsive that she would slap someone on set.

Aside from hitting someone, her actions were recorded and this brought no good to her either.

What a fool!

He was pissed, but it was not a good idea to show his temper in front of the helpless Celine. Hence, he withheld his rage and addressed her with a dark look, “What exactly happened? Tell me everything.”

Therefore, Celine and Angel took turns in explaining the situation to Jason.

Naturally, most of what they told him was the truth, but when they came to certain details, they were biased in their explanation.

Once they were done explaining, Celine wiped her tears with a tissue and her expression was sorrowful.

“I admit I was too impulsive, but Sis has crossed a line too! I only wanted to ask her some questions and she got her bodyguard to attack me. How is she any different from a barbarian?”

Jason was surprisingly irritated by the sight of Celine weeping.

He waved a hand dismissively. “Fine, I’ll take care of this. Don’t head to the film set for the next two days. I’ll inform Tim on your behalf and you shall return once this issue blows over.”
