The reporters and the journalists already had an assumption that Rebecca was poisoned. Now, with the doctor's confirmation, they firmly believed that Aria Liu really had the intention to kill Rebecca.
Rebecca was indeed an award-winning actress. In front of the cameras, she seemed to be very calm when she spoke, "I'll take legal actions to hold Aria Liu accountable. I won't let her get away with this. I am merciful but it seems that my kindness makes some people bolder. I have participated in so many social events and I have been nice to everyone. But if I let her go this time, I don't know how many people will be like her and try to hurt me in the future."
Tears were rolling down her face while she was speaking. She then continued, "I have worked hard to be who I am today. I know some people are jealous of me and they even hate me because they think that I don't deserve to be a famous star and gain fame. But I don't think so. I become famous because of my own efforts and my conscience is clear. I can let go of those who curse me, but I can't forgive those who hurt me easily. They have harmed me and I have to protect myself."
Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement to what she had just said. When they saw the tears on her face, the reporters and the journalists hesitated to ask tough questions. They could feel that Rebecca was a bit weak and emotional right now. Eventually, she succeeded in getting the people's sympathy. She looked so weak that people just wanted to like and protect her.
After a while, the media and her agent left. The doctor gave some instructions to her assistant first before he left as well. The assistant took note of everything that the doctor said.
Only Rebecca and the assistant were left in the room.
Rebecca immediately sat up and asked her assistant, "How is Aria Liu now?"
The assistant's eyes were suddenly filled with hatred as she replied, "Take it easy. She is miserable now. She has been badly hit by your fans and she is now in the custody of the police. I've already called the people in the police station and I've already given my order. She won't be released easily."
"Were those fans hired by you?" Rebecca asked. She knew that her fans were not so menacing. In such a situation, she thought that those people who initiated the attack to Aria Liu must have been paid by her assistant.
"Yes, I asked my friend to find several criminals and I paid them," her assistant admitted. "So you should expect that Aria Liu must have been hurt seriously. Those guys have really hit her hard." Although the assistant did not personally see Aria Liu's injuries due to the chaotic situation, she strongly believed that she was really badly hurt.
There was nothing but loathing in Rebecca's eyes. She glared ahead and said, "I want Aria Liu's life a living hell. She dared touch my man, I'll let her know the consequences of offending me."
Her assistant agreed, "Rebecca, don't worry. She won't get out of the police station. She will be locked in jail forever. She will have no chance to communicate with the outside world for the rest of her life."
"That's great," Rebecca replied. She was satisfied with her assistant's words. Then she continued, "After I leave the hospital, I'll reward you for your hard work."
"Thank you, Rebecca," her assistant replied with a smile.
