[Official Account of Leisure Life: Our guests Emily, Jason, have all recovered from the food poisoning incident, which was completely accidental. We’ll be live streaming tonight at 8 PM. Thank you for your support!]
It ignited a frenzy.
[Great news! My little princess Xena is okay. I was so worried! So it was Emily who poisoned them, huh? Gross!]
[Come on, the production team said it was an accident, and you’re still spreading rumors? @Emily’s Studio, what have you been doing? You should hurry up and sue them!]
[Awesome. I can’t wait to see Jason. As for the rest, whatever.]
[As long as everyone’s safe. I’m looking forward to David, Jackson, and Janie–good–looking people are always a feast for the eyes!]
Some were celebrating, while others stirred up drama. Emily’s fans were in a heated battle with Xena’s and Jason’s fans, throwing insults and spreading rumors, creating quite a spectacle.
Various conspiracy theories popped up: some claimed the production team had deliberately poisoned the food, while others suggested Emily was trying to take them all down with her. Some even speculated that David had poisoned Emily and the others to win Janie’s favor, and there were outrageous claims that Janie and Jackson were aliens on a secret mission.
The absurdity escalated, prompting the investigation team to release a statement confirming there was no poisoning and acknowledging Janie’s contributions.
At the same time, the production team released Emily’s apology video.
[Leisure Life Food Poisoning Incident], [Janie] and [The Disaster Caused by Emily] trended.
[Please, I told you Emily’s cooking was not only terrible but vatal. She almost killed them! Impressive, right?]
[Xena is too kind. If it were me, I wouldn’t forgive Emily! They almost died! Meanwhile, Janie seems so
indifferent!]
[Are you serious? The official statement said Janie helped them. Otherwise, it could have been much worse. How dare you try to slander her for being cold? Honestly, their relationship was rocky before, and Emily pulled this stupid stunt–should Janie lower herself and comfort her? What’s wrong with being indifferent? Indifference is necessary!]
[Seconding that comment!]
[No way! Do you all think Janie is impressive just because she’s a top influencer? Do you believe such nonsense that she saved them? Why don’t you just call her a miracle worker?]
The online debates, celebrations, and clashes were still going on nonstop.
In contrast, Janie and her group appeared much quieter.
Emily couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Janie, where did you get that medicine? And how did you know what poison it was? You’re amazing!”
Jackson was thoroughly annoyed, feeling that Emily was so chatty.

Chapter 36
Janie didn’t want to engage or answer their endless questions, so she replied bluntly, “Because I was knowledgeable and
talented.”
The others were rendered speechless.
Jackson agreed, and David didn’t question her at all.
Emily, Jason, and the others were speechless, their facial muscles twitching.
Janie just took credit for this. Does she have no shame in her? Fortunately, we aren’t on air now, or she would have another chance to hype herself up!‘ they thought.
To them, it seemed like Janie had just gotten lucky, just like a blind squirrel finding a nut sometimes.
Emily awkwardly replied, “You’re really funny.”
Janie remained unfazed, convinced that she was just speaking the truth since she looked knowledgeable and talented.
Jackson added, “Janie is funny, but she’s not joking this time.”
Of course, aside from David, no one would believe it.
They replied perfunctorily, and the lengthy speeches they had prepared fell flat.
Jackson feigned concern. “Are you all really okay? No lingering effects?”
Jason, Emily, and the others didn’t say anything.
As they recalled the pain they suffered, their faces darkened. “No.”
Jackson, aloof and elegant, replied, “I see.”
The others didn’t say a word.
At that moment, Molly returned.
After they greeted her, the director’s voice rang out. “Let’s start the live stream.”
The live stream began.
[Janie, Jackson, my sweeties!]
[I can’t want to see if Jason is really paralyzed!]
[I’m so glad Xena is okay. I’ve been crying at home for days!]
Everyone greeted one another in turn.
Just as the director was about to continue speaking, Emily, looking apologetic, interrupted. “I’m really sorry about what happened. I tried to cheer you all up, but I ended up making things worse and got everyone sick.”
She stood up and bowed deeply. “I apologize to everyone affected and to the audience, and I want to thank my fans for their continued support…”
Her speech grew more emotional as tears began to flow.
Janie, Jackson, and David maintained their usual indifferent expressions.
Ryan frowned slightly, thinking Emily was overdoing it.

Molly looked around with her usual idol composure.
Only Jason and Xena looked worriedly at Emily.
The director, growing impatient, said, “Alright, nobody blames you. Stop crying.”
Emily, sobbing, sat down next to Xena.
Xena gently comforted her.
[Emily is so sincere. I love her!]

[Yeah, your beloved made such a huge mess–she better apologize properly! If she doesn’t show any remorse, how can she redeem herself?]
