Chapter 213 Getting Married Ahead of Schedule
All in all, people were quite convinced by Stephen's response.
He was handsome and also had a sense of humor, which made people like him more. And he successfully turned this scandal into a comedy.
How hilarious!
As for his fans, they were finally relieved after both parties lifted the misunderstanding.
They knew that Stephen would never lie to them. He would just admit what he had done.
He and Natalia were just friends. No real couples would ever make jokes like this.
As long as they were not lovers, his fans didn't care about other stuff.
But since they were friends, his fans wouldn't mind help promoting this series. Natalia was so pretty and her acting was fantastic. Who knew if she could become a big shot one day? After that, Natalia had witnessed how the number of her followers had doubled dramatically.
Natalia didn't know what to say.
But it was indeed a good sign to gain so many followers. She didn't think too much and went to bed.
Then there was another voice on Twitter.
"Jessica also starred in this series, right? She is kind of like one of the leading creators. So why is she the only one that has not forwarded the trailer?"
People started to question quickly.
There was even a rumor that Jessica had gotten kicked out from the series because of her fight.
The official account of the series hadn't announced that yet so all of this was just gossip.
But that didn't stop the gossip spreading widely. A lot of people thought it was true.
Jessica's fans were like a cat on hot bricks.
It was already hard enough for her to get back to the show business. If the rumor was true, then it was all over.
In the Dawson Mansion.
Jessica was also agitated.
Julia didn't allow her to see what was going on on Twitter because she was afraid that this might affect her mood. She wanted Jessica to have a good rest at home so that she could get back on her feet. For that, she took away her phone and computer.
But that didn't mean she wouldn't know what was happening on the Internet.
After all, she could sense that something was definitely wrong from the look of her two maids who came in to run a bath for her.
No, she could not take this anymore.
Julia was not capable of handling this situation. If she continued to sit still and do nothing about this, she would regret it afterwards. Jessica put on a coat and went downstairs.
In the living room, Clara, Philip and Aleena were sitting on the couch gloomily.
They were not surprised to see her.
Clara pointed at the couch opposite to them and said, "Since you're here, sit down."
Jessica was perturbed. But seeing Clara scowling, she didn't dare to utter a word and sit down quietly.
Of course, Philip had seen the gossip on the Internet, which explained why he looked so angry.
"Mom, what should we do now? If the rumors keep spreading, Jessica's career will be doomed! And if that happens, all of our money invested in Century Entertainment will be gone!"
Back then, when Century Entertainment signed Jessica, the Dawson family invested a large amount of money to support her.
They told everyone that it was an investment, but it actually was intended to strengthen their relationship with the Miller family. Because Henry didn't approve the relationship between Jessica and Shawn in the first place.
Henry and Kiera went to the same university and were pretty close at that time. Obviously, he didn't like Aleena and Jessica who tried to kick Kiera out of the Dawson family.
But Jessica was so good at acting nice and obedient, and at present she was the only match for Shawn Miller.
Plus, Natalia was caught cheating and there was no turning back. He had no choice but to accept the fact.
Now, there was no way that the Miller family didn't know about what happened to Jessica.
Clara had always wanted Jessica to marry Shawn. It was hard to say whether Henry would accept her if her reputation was ruined.
Therefore, at this time, they couldn't remain silent any longer. They must take action first.
Thinking of this, Clara looked at Jessica and suddenly asked, "Last time you told me that Shawn proposed to you and that you would get married after the series was done. Is he serious about this?" Jessica nods. "He said that in front of a lot of people on the set, so he must be serious."
"Good."
Clara thought for a moment and said, "In that case, you need to get married as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be better for you to get your marriage certificate first and then hold the wedding ceremony after the filming is done?"
Jessica paused.
It didn't take her long to figure out what Clara meant.
She was now caught up by scandals. Even if she tried to clear things out, it would take a lot of time and effort.
Instead, she could simply cover it up with some good news first to distract the audience, and then clarify it step by step.
But she still hesitated for a while.
"Will Shawn... agree with us?"
Clara said earnestly, "If he really loves you, he will. Shawn is a smart man. He knows how much it would benefit you to get married now. Just tell him!"
Jessica bit her lip. After a few seconds, she finally nodded.
"All right then! I'll give it a try."
That night, Shawn got a call from Jessica.
At the time, he was in his office at Century Entertainment. He was in a meeting with the PR team to come up with a solution on Jessica's case.
When he got the call, he could not help but picture her crying in his mind. He was a little agitated.
He felt an impulse to hang up on her. After some hesitation, he finally answered.
"Hello?"
"Honey, are you in bed?"
Shawn wearily rubbed his eyebrows, "No, why?"
Jessica hesitantly said, "Well, grandma came to me and asked me to discuss something with you."
Shawn stunned and became a little uneasy for some reason.
He asked, "What is it?"
"Grandma thinks the situation is too complicated. No matter how we explain, those people won't buy it. So, she wants us to get married as soon as possible. We can get our marriage certificate first and have a wedding ceremony afterwards. What, what do you think?"
Shawn didn't say anything.
There was only silence at the other end of the phone.
She felt like she was holding a bomb instead of a phone. Her palms began sweating.
