James cooperatively took out the phone and showed her, and then rubbed her head, "Don't worry, I recorded it all."
Jessica was about to fall, listening to his words, she froze, and she knelt while holding on to the ground.
"You didn’t black out?" Angela patted her chest, her heart was still fluttering with fear, "I thought you were going to pretend to black out and frame me."
Jessica’s face turned pale.
"I don't mean anything else." Angela said, "Don't get me wrong, I just reacted subconsciously, you know, a burnt child dreads the fire."
James hugged her and comforted her gently, "Jessica treated you wrong, and now it is normal for you to have such a reaction. She won’t blame you. You worry too much."
"I think so. She framed me when she was a teenager, she did it flawlessly. Now we are in a way simpler situation, without me explaining, she can figure that out." Angela said.
She was in tune with him, Jessica couldn't get a word in.
"James, Angela," Edward interrupted them, and said in a deep voice, "Jessica sincerely apologized to you. Why do you play with her?"
"She was eager to excel, but now she kneels before you and apologizes to you. Isn't she sincere?"
Jessica smiled bitterly, "Please stop, dad, I am kneeling here today to apologize to Angela. It is what I deserve. Nothing else matters, I just want to apologize to her, I hope she can forgive me."
"How can I forgive you?" A gleam of light flashed in Angela's eyes, and she said with an innocent expression, "I have never blamed you."
Jessica bit her lips and wiped her tears, "But comments on the Internet..."
"Netizens all like to uphold justice, and what they said is true." Angela said in bewilderment, "Besides, laws allow the freedom of speech. How can I control what others say, right?"
Jessica looked at her with red and swollen eyes, "If you don't want to forgive me, just say so, why do you have to humiliate me?"
"I'm telling the truth." Angela was very aggrieved, "Or you can stay in jail for two years, and then work for public relations in Dream Club for a month."
"In that case, I can speak for you that we are completely even, and they won't blame you. No, no, no, after all, you framed me up, and they might still blame you, but it's better than now. What do you think?"
She looked straight at Jessica.
Jessica did not answer, but she staggered and fell.
"Jessica." Edward ran up to her in a panic and picked her up, "Jessica, wake up, please don’t scare me."
Jessica's head was hanging down, her eyes closed tightly, her dry lips and the dark circle around her eyes all showed that she was in a terrible condition.
"In fact, before I came, Jessica told me that she wanted to stay in jail for two years just to apologize to you." Edward's eyes were red, and he was choked with sobs, "But you can see it. Jessica is not well. If she stays in jail for two years, she will definitely not be able to stand it."
Angela sneered in her mind, but she acted as if she was embarrassed, "Edward, it’s no use talking to me. Now the Smith Group’s stock hits limit down as a result of public opinion. But how can someone like me control the public opinion?"
"I don't want to bother you in this matter. After all, Jessica did wrong thing to you." Edward said in vicissitudes. "It's just that now Jessica is under huge mental stress. The doctor said that she has a nervous breakdown and it might turn into depression."
