Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 99 Numerous Gossips (Part One)

The video was edited by cutting off the part where Essie stood up to call the police. All that could be

seen was the bald guy handing her the envelope.

With the help of the rumor and the incitement of the paid posters, the public opinion took a big twist.

All of a sudden, the victim became the target of public scrutiny. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Now, Essie was deceiving, over-hyped, and was a green tea bitch. All of the abuse hurled at Essie

almost drowned her, and as her partner, Nicole was also hurt.

The crew of the program was also shocked. They called Essie immediately and asked her and Nicole

to go to the TV station. They wanted to find out the truth and discuss countermeasures.

Sitting in the car, Essie was aggrieved and furious. She had been worried about this happening before,

and it actually turned out to be a conspiracy against her. "That bald man was not crazy at all. He must

have been hired to play tricks on me. If I find him, I will cut him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"

she said.

Zac, on the other hand, was extremely calm. He stroked her head and said, "Don't worry. Good fortune

always follows a disaster and disaster lurks within good fortune."

Outside the TV station, there were many reporters and fake fans.

All of them were hired by Sunny. In their hands was a photo of Essie that had been painted with a big

X. They shouted, "Essie, Essie, get out of the show, and get out of the fashion circle!"

A stinky egg came flying towards Essie as soon as she got out of the car. Zac quickly protected her and

put in a good word for her. Then, several tall and strong men in black approached the crowd and threw

the man who had thrown the egg three meters away. The man was rendered unable to move. Seeing

this, the others in the crowd became too scared to move, and even their voices seemed to be caught in

their throats.

Essie mistakenly thought that the men in black were the security guards of the TV station, when in fact,

they were Zac's people. He had already foreseen that someone would try to make trouble.

The men in black led the way, until Essie had entered the TV station.

Eva was very worried when she saw the video. When she called Essie, she told her that she was going

to the television station. She immediately came, wanting to help her in some way.

A while later, Nicole and Hanson also arrived there.

Essie immediately told the staff her version of what happened at Starbucks last week.

"I was in Starbucks the other day when the bald man splashed coffee on me. After that, I went to the

washroom to clean myself up," explained Eva. "I guess they sent me away on purpose so that they can

frame up Essie," she added.

"I knew you were set up," Nicole said with a frown. She had been in the entertainment circle for many

years, and she had seen a lot of similar things.

"I won't spare him if I find out who did this," Hanson said, gnashing his teeth. He would do everything to

figure it out. 'It better have nothing to do with Sunny, or I will kill her for sure,' he thought. He turned to

look at the director. "Director, it seems like there is a mole in your crew. Please look into it carefully."

"I will figure it out," the director said at once.

In the black commercial vehicle not far from the television station.

Zac and a man in black quietly watched the farce outside.

The man in black was named Josh. Zac had sent him to protect Essie in secret. He had been secretly

following Essie recently whenever she was out. He saw the scenes in Starbucks clearly and took a

video of it too.

But it was not the right time for Zac to make a move. He wanted to wait for the right moment that he

could bring Essie to justice.

"The person who sent the video has been caught. He told me that it was Sunny's idea. Seems like she

hasn't been taught a good enough lesson," Josh snorted.

"Let her have more freedom." A cold look flashed in Zac's eyes. Sunny was the best restraint on

Hanson. With her in the picture, Hanson would not dare to go after Essie openly.

"Upload the video online in the name of a photo blogger tonight." Zac opened the car door and went

out of the car. He had a feeling that Essie was coming back.

As soon as Essie came out of the TV station, Hanson quickly caught up with her and said, "Don't worry.

I will prove your innocence."

"Thank you, Hanson." "There are a lot of reporters outside. I have to go," she added.

Hanson stared after her as she left in a hurry. He felt depressed, but he had no idea what to do. Eva

patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. "Take it easy. The key is to deal with your mother and Sunny

first," she said.

Hanson gritted his teeth. What Eva said made sense. He could no longer be so passive. The only way

he could win her back was if she saw that there was a future between them.

The night was dark and rich, like a cup of black tea that had been sitting for a long time.

However, a new round of fierce battle on the Internet had just begun.

A blogger named No.5 uploaded the video he had taken at Starbucks by chance.

It was another dramatic reversal.

Some of the people who didn't have a firm stand had gone from fans to haters then from haters to fans.

Essie and Nicole's fans emerged like bamboo shoots, and they even looked for the bald man and his

partner.

While all of this was happening, Essie was just lying on the bed with her heart beating very fast. She

was finding it very difficult to calm down.

She was in heaven while also in hell at the same time.

How dramatic!

But in hindsight, this was also great publicity for her.

Now, not only did the Internet store become popular, but a few other online shops had even reached

out to her to promote her brand, Summer 100℃ which was the name of her online shop and the

trademark of her clothes. Zac was wise enough to register the trademark for her before she

participated in the program.

Zac was casually playing on his iPad beside her. Essie kicked him lightly and said, "It's already 12

o'clock. Why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"

"Can't I just sleep here?" The corners of his mouth curled up, forming a small smile.

"Whatever. I'm going to sleep." Essie turned her back to him. Since he had blocked the rotten egg for

her today, he deserved to sleep on the same bed as her.

Zac's eyes suddenly sparkled. He put down the iPad at once, then he lay down beside Essie and

hugged her from behind.

"Don't push your luck." Essie wriggled her body, pretending to be mad at him, but she didn't try to free

herself from his grip. 'Anyway, he has never crossed the line. I don't care about his small tricks. He has

already taken advantage of me before after all, so I don't need to be pretentious,' Essie thought.

Getting a whiff of the jasmine scent on her neck, Zac couldn't help but put his chin on her shoulder. The

new stubble on his face rubbed against Essie's skin, making her feel ticklish and itchy. She giggled and

twisted her body. Unable to stop his stubble from rubbing her neck, she had to turn around and push

him. "Hey, stop it. I'm sleepy."

He laughed in a low voice, and looked into Essie's eyes as they shone in the night light like stars

casting their reflection on a clear lake. Zac's features were perfect, but he normally looked too cold.

Whenever he laughed, his profile became soft. It made him look full of sunshine and extraordinarily

charming.

"Ice guy, you should smile more. You look pretty when you smile."

"I will only smile for you." He touched her nose indulgently.
