Chapter 2943 This behavior is too much
Emily nodded without saying anything, simply allowing Sister Xue to search her.
After confirming that they were not carrying any belongings, they were then allowed to enter the house.
Charlene and Shino had already heard the conversation at the door, and they both stopped what they were doing at the same time.
At this moment, the two looked at each other, both feeling somewhat awkward and uncomfortable.
Charlene instinctively looked away.
Shino took a deep breath and broke the silence first, saying softly, "Please sit down."
Emily shook her head, stood still, and said in a sincere but low voice, "No, I came here specifically to apologize to you."
She lowered her head slightly and continued, "I'm sorry that my personal matters have caused you so much trouble."
It also dragged you into the public opinion storm, even making it to the top of the trending searches, and subjecting you to so many unwarranted accusations and insults.
I am especially sorry to my team for dragging you into this without my knowledge.
Before this, I never imagined that anyone would be in such a situation because of me.
I never even considered creating any scandals.
But I never expected that it would still hurt you.
I never expected to gain your forgiveness, even though I wasn't in control of any of this.
But it was because of me that you encountered these unpleasant things.
I'm so sorry for all of this!
Her voice was filled with obvious remorse, and her eyes were full of sincerity.
Then, she pulled her sister's arm, made her take a step forward, and continued, "And there's my sister too."
This morning, during the filming process, she deliberately created several misunderstandings that could lead to unnecessary speculation and attention.
Regardless, I must take responsibility for this.
Once again, I express my sincerest apologies. I'm sorry.
When the older sister was told this so bluntly, her expression clearly showed more shame and unease.
She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "Shi Ye, Xia Lin, I'm so sorry."
At that time, all I could think about was my sister.
She was in a difficult situation, and in my anxiety, I followed the arrangements of her agent, Xiao Zhen.
She paused for a moment, as if trying to compose herself, and then continued, "He asked me to set a trap for you, to deliberately create some ambiguous scenes, and to take some photos that could easily lead to misunderstandings."
I know that doing this is very wrong.
Anything I say now sounds like I'm just trying to excuse myself.
But my sister, from beginning to end, really didn't know anything.
At this point, her tone became even more dejected, filled with regret, "Actually, I was also... deceived by Xiao Zhen."
He kept pressuring me, saying that if I didn't do that, my sister's upcoming concert might not be able to take place.
At this moment, Sister Xue asked, "What exactly did Xiao Zhen tell you?"
The older sister hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Emily beside her, as if seeking her opinion on whether she could speak.
Emily looked at her calmly and firmly, indicating that she didn't need to hold back and should explain everything clearly.
So the older sister nodded and began to describe everything in great detail.
She said, "Xiao Zhen said that if that matter is exposed, it will not only ruin my sister's reputation, but also completely destroy her future."
However, if they just create a little hype and use the buzz to divert attention, they might be able to defuse the crisis.
After all, hyping up a romantic relationship and a scandal involving moral issues are completely different in nature.
The former, at least, can maintain a semblance of decorum.
She paused briefly, her voice still tinged with regret, "I... I really don't understand the intricacies of the entertainment industry, so at the time, I just believed him."
Moreover, Xiao Zhen has been her sister's manager for many years, and she feels that all the strategies he comes up with are for her sister's good.
As long as you do what he says, you can't go wrong!
So, I didn't think about it that much!
After hearing these words, Sister Xue's expression did not change much.
Sure enough, it was pretty much as they had guessed.
She nodded calmly and said, "Well, now there's only one question left."
Could you elaborate on the matter of the third party?
Although this is your private matter, we've also been dragged into this trouble. We're afraid the reporters will keep bothering us, so we need to prepare in advance to deal with it.
Therefore, I hope that we have the right to know and can truly understand the whole story and the reasons behind it.
We know that your agent is indeed untrustworthy.
Nevertheless, I would still prefer to hear your own version of events.
After all, only you truly know your own stance and thoughts.
At this point, Sister Xue paused slightly, her tone becoming more serious, "Also, there's that clarification statement you posted on your social media account."
Is it a genuine expression from the heart, or merely a tactic and excuse to salvage one's image and clear one's name?
Upon hearing this question, Emily's face paled noticeably, and her previously composed expression began to waver.
Her voice was slightly hoarse, but she answered firmly, "Every word written on it is true, there is absolutely no falsehood."
The reason I haven't formally apologized publicly yet is because I feel that such an important matter cannot remain merely in words.
I would much rather have the opportunity to express my apologies to you in person.
Of course, I am very aware that no matter how I explain this, it will be difficult to gain your forgiveness.
I don't expect you to accept it immediately.
But I still want to tell you personally the whole story and the truth behind it, so that the misunderstanding doesn't deepen.
She had met all sorts of people, but Charlene was a friend she genuinely wanted to make.
She was truly heartbroken that something had happened that hurt both of them.
No matter what, we can't hurt Charlene's feelings anymore.
Emily took a deep breath and continued sincerely, "When we go out to face the public later, I will also make it clear that neither of you has anything to do with this matter."
We will absolutely not allow the audience to have any more unnecessary misunderstandings or speculations about you.
After hearing the whole story, Charlene felt a mix of emotions.
I felt a deep sadness, but also a quiet sense of relief.
What's sad is that neither she nor Shi Ye did anything wrong, yet they were dragged into this undeserved disaster and suffered accusations and harm that didn't belong to them.
And then there's Emily's sister's scheming from beginning to end, exploiting their trust and goodwill to drag them into this turmoil.
Both Shino and I have always respected this older sister.
I can understand the older sister's feelings of wanting to protect her younger sister.
To some extent, this kind of family affection may be understandable.
But to hurt innocent people so easily, even at the cost of sacrificing their reputation and feelings.
This behavior is simply outrageous.
