He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 141

Public opinion was boiling, reaching unprecedented new heights.

At this critical juncture, top-tier attorney Quinton Grant issued a formal legal notice on behalf of his client, Juniper Lane.

Meanwhile, Audrey Vance and the rumor-mongering Jade Vance were now facing trial.

In the released interrogation footage, Audrey was initially stubborn. But when she realized she was genuinely facing prison time, she broke down in tears. "I didn't mean to! I really didn't know it was illegal. I just said a few mean things to her. She didn't lose any flesh! Why won't she just settle this with me privately? Go contact Juniper. Tell her to come see me right now!"

Jade was crying beside her, trembling violently. "I... I was misled by this woman's video! I genuinely thought Juniper was that kind of person. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I was jealous of her. I envied her. Why does she get to be so beautiful? Why does everyone at the studio like her? Was it wrong for me to want to drag her down? We started at the exact same place—why does she get to be better than me?"

Everything pointed to one undeniable truth: the original video had been maliciously edited.

It completely scrambled the context, framing Juniper as a homewrecker.

In reality, Juniper probably didn't even know Yorke Chambers.

For four days, she had endured relentless abuse over an absolute disaster of a misunderstanding. She had just gone to the hospital for a medical appointment, only to be dragged into this mess.

Anyone would call it a stroke of terrible luck.

Soon after, Yorke's manager was also arrested. He confessed to buying internet trolls just hours prior to divert public outrage onto Juniper, turning her into the internet's punching bag.

As each piece of evidence surfaced, the public was left reeling in shock.

Especially regarding Audrey and Jade. The two of them had egged each other on, and even when faced with such serious charges, they still didn't believe they had done anything wrong.

The unedited footage showed Yorke harassing Juniper first, yet Audrey was the one who slapped her.

Audrey hadn't dared to unleash her fury on her own man, so she dragged an innocent bystander down instead.

And Jade, purely out of jealousy, had fabricated dozens of posts to launch personal attacks against Juniper.

The internet collectively lost its mind.

Then, someone noticed something off in the unedited video released by the police.

"Look here, she's messing with her hearing aid. Was her hearing aid broken at that moment? Could she not hear anything?"

"Holy crap, I think that's true. When Audrey was screaming at her, she didn't react at all."

"Damn it, I can't watch this anymore. It's bad enough she couldn't hear, but she was bullied like that on top of it."

"Still staying skeptical. Her family background is poor, but the fact that she lives in a mansion is true. Maybe she really is a sugar baby."

"To everyone claiming she's a sugar baby, bring out the evidence. Audrey, Yorke, and Jade were all nailed to the wall with hard proof. As for Juniper, it's been nothing but 'insider gossip' from the start, without a single shred of actual proof."

It was true; everything had only ever been from "insider sources."

And now, those gossip posts had been wiped completely clean. The so-called college alumni and former roommates had all vanished into thin air.
