It was too late to switch to another airport, and even if she wanted to enter the VIP passage, she had to first get into the airport.
“What should we do now?” Mira asked.
“What else can we do? Just walk in.”
However, Mira was more cautious. She first called her manager to explain the current situation. After some consideration, Connor also suggested she enter the airport first.
Jones Calvin’s assistant had already contacted the airport security personnel, and soon a group of security staff arrived to maintain order.
Mira put on her sunglasses and got out of the car with Jones Calvin, walking towards the airport. The fact that they got out of the same car was practically a sensational gossip story.
The reporters caught the strong scent of gossip and almost shoved their long lenses right in their faces. Mira maintained a cold expression throughout, and with the escort of security, she entered the VIP passage. Once inside, the reporters and fans could no longer follow.
With just a few minutes until check-in, Mira entered the lounge and called Connor to prepare for public relations.
After hanging up, she noticed Jones Calvin casually sitting on the sofa, looking quite unconcerned. She couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you worried that reporters will stir up rumors about us?”
Jones Calvin shrugged nonchalantly, “Well, there are already plenty of rumors about me.” He raised an eyebrow, “What? You look like you’re feeling wronged by the thought of being in a rumor with me? If you could stir up a rumor with me, your popularity would skyrocket. Wouldn’t you be happy about that?”
Mira scoffed; he was still as self-righteous as ever.
It was almost time to board, and Mira entered through the designated passage. After returning to Brackenfield, she opened her phone and casually searched online. Sure enough, the news of her and Jones Calvin being in the same car made the headlines.
Connor had sent an assistant to pick her up. Mira got into the van, and the assistant drove her to the company. Everyone was already aware of her situation and was waiting for her to return to discuss what to do next.
Phoenix had already gone to the States to give birth, but Thelma had hired a few new people. At that moment, the conference room was filled with people, and as Mira walked in, she immediately felt a wave of pressure.
“I’m really sorry, Sister Thelma. I didn’t handle things well and caused trouble for everyone.”
Thelma was very easygoing; she patted her shoulder and said, “It’s okay, just be careful next time.”
The news of Mira and Jones Calvin being in the same car had been captured, and unsurprisingly, Mira received a barrage of criticism.
“What the hell? Didn’t she just accuse my brother of harassment? How come she’s suddenly in his car?”
“The queen of hype is at it again, using my brother to gain attention.”
” please leave my brother alone. You seem so pure and detached from the world, but my brother is really not someone to mess with.”
Later, a powerful fan even dug up the relationship between Mira and the Jones family. It turned out that the reason they were in the same car to the airport was that they were both returning to the Jones family, and Jones Calvin was just giving Mira a ride. Fans uncovered this, probably to dispel the rumors about Mira and Jones Calvin, as the wives of fans didn’t want to see their idols with other women. Once there were rumors, they had to dig deep; if they could find out that it was a misunderstanding, that would be best. If not, they had to find excuses to comfort themselves, unless the idol admitted it outright.
However, after this was revealed, Mira was criticized even more harshly.
“WTF, so Mira is the Jones family’s adopted daughter? The Jones family raised her, so why did she accuse Jones Calvin of harassment back then?”
“The Jones family really raised a white-eyed wolf; it’s simply not worth it for my brother.”
“Mira is truly malicious. How can someone like her still stick around in the entertainment industry? She’s ruining the atmosphere.”
Thelma and Connor were overwhelmed by the one-sided criticism online. Jones Calvin’s fans were truly powerful, and at this point, they had no choice but to hire people to speak up for Mira.
So, amidst all this criticism, another voice emerged.
“It’s strange. Even if it’s harassment from an adopted parent’s son, isn’t that still harassment? How many known cases of indecency involve acquaintances?”
“Since Jones Calvin has acknowledged his mistakes and is trying to change, and Mira has publicly stated she won’t dwell on the past, plus they are step-siblings, must they treat each other like enemies? Or do you want your brother to be forever seen as a pervert?”
While Thelma hired a group of online commenters to speak for Mira, it seemed there was another force also speaking up for her. With the influence of both forces, Mira finally managed to avoid being too badly criticized.
Just when everyone thought this matter would fade away, Jones Calvin posted a bizarre Instagram update. The content of the Instagram post was just a few words.
“I like her.”
This statement, unsurprisingly, sparked speculation again, with many people leaving comments asking who the person he liked was.
