Shawn stood up from the chair, staring at the phone with a livid face.
The secretary just came in from outside and reported respectfully to him, "Mr. Miller, the board meeting will begin in ten minutes."
Shawn kept silent with a straight face.
After a few seconds, he said, "I see. You go out first."
The Secretary nodded and left.
Shawn took a deep breath to calm himself down and dialed a number.
The phone was connected within a few seconds, and Jessica's surprised voice came to his ear, "Shawn?"
"What are you doing?"
"Me?" Sitting in the hospital, Jessica looked at Ally next to her and said guiltily, "I didn't do anything. I'm in the crew now..."
"In the crew? Huh! It seems that you still don't know what happened on the Internet?"
Jessica was stunned and confused.
"Internet? What happened on the Internet? "
"What happened? Read the news and see what you have done!"
After shouting, Shawn hung up the phone immediately.
Jessica was stunned by his roar. After a few seconds, she came to her senses and hurriedly login into her Twitter with her mobile phone.
It became trending on Twitter. The video of her slapping Natalia had been listed in the top search list, and the comments were full of doubts and curses, all of which were criticizing her.
Jessica's face changed. She went to watch the video and then was furious.
This b*tch!
It must be her plan!
It must be Natalia who had set her up on purpose. She wondered why Natalia was so strange today. Normally, when Natalia saw Shawn, she would be just indifferent. But she suddenly became so enthusiastic today!
Natalia must have said those words on purpose to irritate her, and then secretly asked someone to take this video.
This vicious woman!
Jessica was flustered now. Thinking of Shawn's angry tone just now, she became more nervous.
She quickly dialed back.
As soon as the phone was connected, she hurriedly explained, "Shawn, it's not what you think. It's Natalia. She framed me. What they said on the Internet is not true."
Shawn said in a gloomy voice, "You mean it was her who moved her face close to you and asked you to slap her?"
Jessica was speechless.
"Shawn, please trust me. I didn't hit her on purpose. She irritated me. I was just too angry..."
Jessica couldn't help but burst into tears. She choked, "How could she do that? It's not a big case that she set me up, but she made it bigger. She knew clearly how important this comeback is to me!"
At this time, the doctor came over and called her, "Jessica Dawson, come here to take medicine."
Shawn keenly heard this sentence through the phone and asked suspiciously, "Where are you?"
"I..." Jessica hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
Ally couldn't help but grab the phone and said angrily, "Mr. Miller, you only blame Jessica. Don't you see how Jessica was beaten by that vicious woman because of you!"
"Let me tell you the truth, we are in the hospital now! Jessica was not only slapped by that woman two times, but also kicked by her help. The doctor said that Jessica's ribs were fractured. If we didn't come to the hospital in time, there might be sequelae!"
"Ally, stop doing that!"
Jessica grabbed the phone in time and said anxiously, "Shawn, I'm fine. Don't worry. Natalia... Natalia has always been domineering. I don't think she did it on purpose."
There was a moment of silence on the other side.
Both Jessica and Ally held their breath, waiting for Shawn's response.
