Chapter 316 The Upon hearing Annis’ words of Janey's missing, Raegan's legs turned to jelly.
"Annis, what do you mean by that? Where was Janey last seen? What exactly had happened?" Annis said between sobs, "Back then, the driver and 1 were already outside the kindergarten before the bell rang.
We were waiting for Janey to go out.
But the gate of the kindergarten was crowded with people who kept saying they were looking for the child of that bad woman. The bad woman they were referring to was you. They said there were videos on the Internet to prove it.
I had no idea what was going on.
When 1 finally squeezed through the crowd and got into the kindergarten,
the teacher told me that Janey probably hid somewhere in the kindergarten out of fear. Those teachers said they couldn't find Janey yet." When Raegan heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Her face instantly turned pale, and her legs went limp. But she tried her best to speak. "Annis, keep looking for her. I'll be right there." Stefan overheard Raegan's conversation with Annis on the phone.
He didn't ask any questions and started the car without hesitation. He turned to Raegan and comforted her, "Calm down. Janey will be fine. Let's go and see what exactly is going on." Behind them, Mitchel was standing in front of the vehicle. Although he didn't hear anything, he saw how Raegan
freaked out and exclaimed something on the phone. Even from a distance, he felt how anxious she was. He wondered what had gone down.
Then, Mitchel saw Stefan's car dash away. His face instantly darkened. He quickly got in the car and ordered, "Follow them." In the car.
"Mr. Dixon, something's up!" said Matteo after checking on the latest news.
When Mitchel saw Matteo's solemn expression, a bad feeling surged in his heart. He asked nervously, "What is it?" "The video of the dinner party Miss Foster attended last night has gone viral. They are saying..." Matteo paused. He didn't know whether he
should continue or not.
Mitchel's face turned cold. He questioned, "What did they say?" Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, Matteo answered cautiously, "Some netizens asserted Miss Foster attempted to seduce Cary, the head of Sino Entertainment for the sake of business. They speculated she drugged Cary and took a video she could use to blackmail him and thus seal the cooperation. Worse, they even argued that this was not her first time playing a trick like this." After a pause, Matteo uttered the rest of the sentence with difficulty, "They...
They call her a slut." Upon hearing this, the expression on Mitchel's face changed dramatically.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMatteo continued, "The public opinion
has fermented in just two hours. It seems that someone is behind it.
Cary's wife had made a statement, accusing Miss Foster of being..." Matteo's voice trailed off. He felt like the words were stuck in his throat.
Those baseless accusations were sO harsh that he didn't dare to say them.
It was as if those words could kill him if he spoke them out.
But in the end, Matteo had to bite the bullet. "Cary's wife called Miss Foster a social butterfly. She said Miss Foster has many little tricks to seduce men." As he spoke, Matteo didn't even dare to look at Mitchel's face.
"Cary's wife is a third-tier artist in the entertainment industry. A group of her die-hard fans found out Miss Foster's address and even the school where her
daughter goes. Some are saying that Janey is a bastard who doesn't even have a father. Some netizens expressed their intention of going to Janey's kindergarten to tell her that her mother is actually a bitch." Matteo plucked up his courage to blurt it out in one breath.
There was dead silence in the car.
After a while, Mitchel said in a low voice, "I will give you half an hour to suppress all this slandering news." His voice was like an emissary from hell, cold and cruel.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
Matteo was so startled that he dropped his phone on the car floor. Half an hour to suppress the news? Could he just use an atomic bomb to destroy everything at once? Matteo said in embarrassment, "Mr.
Dixon, it's not possible..." Matteo met Mitchel's threatening gaze and explained with trepidation, "The issue is still a hot topic. The netizens are in heated discussion. At this moment, its popularity has been constantly rising. It's a bit difficult to settle it in half an hour." "Contact Glenn Brown of Arthen Entertainment. Ask him to release something else to distract the public's attention. Besides, mobilize the IT Department of the Dixon Group to clean up all the relevant topics online.
I want everything to disappear within half an hour, by all means," Mitchel ordered.
Arthen Entertainment was the biggest entertainment company in the country. It covered more grounds than Sino Entertainment. So, if Arthen
Enter tainment dropped some bombs at this time, the public attention would be naturally diverted.
But it wasn't favorable for an entertainment company to drop a bomb at a time like this, risking its role of helping shift the attention being exposed.
Matteo didn't dare to disobey Mitchel.
Having braced himself for the expected reaction from Glenn, Matteo dialed Glenn's number. Sure enough, Glenn roared and even cursed upon hearing Matteo's words. Though not on a speaker, Glenn's raised voice didn't go unnoticed by Mitchel.
"Holy shit! Has Mitchel Dixon lost his fucking mind? Why doesn't he just ask me to kill myself? Damn it! The nerve of him asking me to risk the reputation and promising future of Arthen
Entertainment! What about my career, huh? Tell him, I will never do as he said. Over my dead body!" Glenn's fury flared as he went on.
Glenn and Mitchel had known each other for years. Their close friendship granted Glenn to speak as he wished on the phone without much scruples.
Hearing Glenn's outburst, Mitchel interjected, "Give me the phone." Matteo hurriedly handed his phone to Mitchel, slightly relieved.
"Listen up. In exchange, your company will do the endorsement of the Dixon Group for one year with an extra five percent commission," Mitchel calmly offered.
A five percent commission was not a small amount. This was equivalent to adding hundreds of millions of dollars
to the original fee.
Ever a shrewd businessman, Glenn wouldn't pass such a lucrative offer.
His demeanor instantly changed.
"Deal! Expect a breaking news that will definitely blow everyone's mind!" After hanging up, Mitchel threw the phone back to Matteo and ordered coldly, "After suppressing all this slandering news online, find out who is behind this propaganda.” Meanwhile, in Stefan's car, Raegan was uneasy. She had been silently praying for Janey's safety and didn't bother to check the trending topics. Her heart hung in the air, and she was worried sick about Janey.
Finally, they arrived at their destination. Stefan pulled over in an area near the kindergarten.
From where they parked, Stefan could see the surging crowd. The kindergarten had already deployed security guards to control those unreasonable netizens. Although those netizens couldn't enter, no one was willing to leave. They all wandered around the gate of the kindergarten.
Some of them were holding Raegan's picture, and some were live streaming.

Is this facility specially designed to teach children how to become the other woman?" "Why not teach the mothers of these children not to seduce other women's husbands?"
Those words reached Stefan's ears, and he couldn't help frowning. "It's not safe for you to get out of the car. Wait for me here. I'll find Janey." - "No. I need to go inside and look for Janey myself! Janey needs me." Raegan knew Janey very well. When Janey was angry, she would hide herself and wouldn't respond to anyone except Raegan.
"Stefan, wait for me here. I'll go inside and look for Janey. I'll be quick." After saying this, Raegan put on her mask, opened the door, and got out before Stefan could stop her.
Stefan hurriedly followed her. "I'll go with you." Raegan had already contacted Janey's teacher in advance, and she was instructed to pass through the back
gate.
But as soon as Raegan arrived there, several netizens rushed over upon catching Raegan's figure as if on cue.
Despite Raegan's mask, they managed to recognize her and shouted excitedly, "It's her! That shameless woman is here!" Regrettably, Raegan's eyes were too captivating to go unnoticed by those insane netizens.
They charged at Raegan. Stefan interfered in time and blocked them with his figure, granting Raegan the chance to get into the kindergarten.
Raegan hastily rushed to the gate. But before she could make a few more steps, a crazy woman rushed out of nowhere and grabbed Raegan's hair.
"You bitch! Where do you think you're going, huh?" the woman yelled hysterically.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Raegan lost her balance, her face about to make contact with the iron gate.
If Raegan's face were to hit the gate, she would definitely suffer from a serious head injury and a disfigured face under that crazy woman's force.
Raegan instinctively grabbed the woman's arm, trying to twist it. But to her surprise, another crazy person came over to help the woman.
They dragged Raegan and were about to slam her against the railing.
Soon, a loud bang echoed. But the loud noise came from behind Raegan.
Those two crazy women who tried to
harm Raegan found themselves being thrown away, scrawling on the floor in pain.
Bewildered, Raegan turned around, only to see Mitchel standing there with a stern face, his murderous gaze on those two crazy women.
Raegan's lips moved as if she wanted to say something. However, she couldn't utter a word.
Sensing Raegan's gaze, Mitchel's demeanor softened as he locked eyes with her. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic. Let's go inside and find Janey."
