"What's the news on the Internet now? Since you love gossip so much, Hannah, why don't you turn to work for some tabloids?" Jessica joked.
"I'm only concerned because you are involved! If it weren't for you, why would I even care about it?" Hannah didn't understand why Jessica was so not worried at all.
Jessica paused for a moment and asked, "I'm involved? What is it?"
"The netizens are saying that your private life is a mess and that you let other men stay at your place after making things up with Lucas." Hannah paused for a moment and added, "They even said that you are pregnant, so you are looking for a dad for your baby. Jess, what is this all about?"
Jessica knew Hannah well. Hannah wouldn't keep joking about such a thing.
Hannah's tone made Jessica realize that someone had smeared her reputation.
"I don't know from whom you learned that I am pregnant, but I can tell you that my period had just started yesterday."
Hannah froze at Jessica's words, "Gossips about you are widely spread on the Internet. Some people have posted photos of you, Caesar, and others, saying that you are 'hunting' these rich boys."
Jessica now understood at once that she had been misinterpreted again.
"I just got off the plane and didn't have time to read the news. I'll call you when I figure out what is going on."
After Jessica finished speaking, she hung up the phone and turned to Wendy at the side.
Obviously, from Wendy's shocked look, Jessica could tell that Wendy had also heard of the rumor.
Seeing Jessica looking at her, Wendy quickly hung up. "Miss Hall..."
Jessica smiled. "Wendy, don't tell me you think I'm pregnant."
Wendy immediately said, "Of course not, Miss Hall."
Wendy knew Jessica wasn't pregnant. After all, Wendy was the one who first noticed that Jessica's period started.
"We've been on a business trip in Paris for the past two days. It seems that someone knows that I'm not in LA and has started to make a move." Jessica smiled.
"I'll look into it right away," said Wendy.
Jessica nodded. "Okay, I'll go online and see what is happening."
Jessica said as she logged in to Twitter. As Hannah said, the post about Jessica's messy private life had been viewed over 10 million times. Several hot comments were analyzing her "lovers".
Well, the analysis looked fairly reasonable. If the post was not about her, Jessica might probably buy it, too.
Jessica was so angry that she even laughed.
She was neither an actress nor an influencer. What was the media aiming at her for?
Jessica read the news about her private life on the Internet for more than half an hour. Wendy had also sorted out the whole thing. The news came out of the upper-class circle in LA.
Jessica frowned, "Find out who's behind this."
Wendy had already sent someone to investigate. The news was spread so widely that Morgan probably had already known about it. "I've already sent someone to investigate. Aren't we going to react online? Miss Hall?"
"The plotter would be happy to see we do that. In that case, what we did would be interpreted as trying to hide the skeleton."
A clarification wouldn't change the public mind.
Even if she posted the pregnancy test report online, someone would say it was fabricated.
Thus, the wise thing to do was to find out the plotter instead of making any response.
The rumor could only be shattered when Jessica found out the culprit.
Hannah was not the only one shocked by the news. The Halls were also shocked and worried.
They believed that Jessica was not that kind of woman. But when Jessica and Lucas were snapped at the hotel, Morgan did learn from Wendy that Jessica didn't go back to her place the whole night.
Though Jessica said she and Lucas didn't get back together, it was fairly reasonable if the two did sleep together that night.
Someone said Jessica was pregnant. Morgan and May were worried that Jessica might have forgotten to take the pills after the two slept together that night.
The two were worried because Jessica didn't know how to handle relationships. For years, Lucas seemed to have been the only man on Jessica's mind.
Jessica didn't have much experience when it came to relationships. Yet someone was spreading the rumor about how messy her private life was. Both Morgan and May felt worried.
However, the two of them didn't want to upset Jessica, so when they called, they spoke with great caution, "Jess, I heard some news online today."
