After Being Cheating novel Chapter 126

"We're just good friends. He's gone to Africa and dedicated himself to world peace. He's doing great now!" Janet was proud that she had a friend like Bill.

"Well, is then Miss Shao still single at the present moment?"

"Yeah, kind of; but there is someone I hold dear in my heart." Janet answered the reporter very sincerely.

She then tried to ask her more questions, and said, "Miss Shao, would you mind if I asked you several questions regarding this matter?"

Janet then showed her a sweet smile and nodded.

"Miss Shao, what does your crush do for a living? Does he also support philanthropic undertakings, like you do?"

Janet smiled happily when thinking of the one she really loved. "He is just an ordinary person in my heart, and yes, he is very supportive of various philanthropic undertakings. He often donates money to welfare homes and other shelters."

"Really? The latter part sounds just like your sworn brother Mr. Si. Is... it really him?"

There was only one reporter that had asked her, so she didn't show any exclusion towards the question. She might also have been considering something, but she said, "Daniel already has a girlfriend, but he is indeed really excellent. I think I may refer to him as a standard for my boyfriend's standards."

Janet covered her emotions with her sweet smile.

Kate, who was also interviewed by reporters, always kept an ear open to Janet's interview.

The reporter carefully observed the expression drawn on Janet's face, but failed to figure out anything incriminating in the end. It was exactly what a sister would say to praise her brother.

"Well, would you mind if Kate will be your sworn sister-in-law in the near future?"

Kate smiled at Janet when she heard her name.

All the cameras were focused on Janet and Kate now; Janet was still immersed in her own deep thoughts, and she answered the reporter in a creeping inertia. "I don't like her, but that's Daniel's business whether they are going to marry or not. I... will give them my blessing."

All the reporters present were shocked by Janet's answer.

Kate's face turned pale almost in an instant; she had spoken in front of the reporters and people of all over the world.

'How could she answer that question without even thinking?' thought Kate.

In this case, Kate didn't have to pretend to be nice with her anymore.

"I can tell you why she doesn't like me; it's because the one she loves is my boyfriend. She likes Daniel, do you understand now?" Kate spoke in a normal and casual tone, but what she had just said was really startling for all the people.

All the reporters then turned to Janet, who was still not aware of what had happened until all the camera flashes flickered on her face.

"Miss Shao, is that true? Do you really love Mr. Si?"

"Miss Shao, are you the third person standing between Miss Song and Mr. Si?"

Janet's face instantly turned pale when she heard the words "the third person".

But they were right, because she did seem to be like the third person.

Janet took a deep breath and stared at the reporter who was wearing glasses. "My father is Samuel Shao. My mother is Ella Shao. My brother is Jerry Shao. Why should I be the third person? Sir, I advise you to be careful because I can easily sue you for libel if you don't have evidence for you just assumed."

"Then what's your relationship with Mr. Si now?"

Janet tried to calm herself down. "I have nothing to do with him now. Doesn't he already have a girlfriend? Do you wish to damage our reputation by spreading this kind of rumors?"

The reporters would't let Janet go so easily, but the host had just announced the beginning of the charity event.

So they just dispersed reluctantly, and Janet thus felt a little bit more relieved.

Everyone was now seated. Janet clenched her fists tightly as she tried hard to resist the urge to punch Kate straight in her face.

"It's a great honor to have you here. I'm today's host, Feifei..." After the host and government leaders' congratulatory speech, the charity awards evening kicked off its start.

Janet's shop was selected as one of the top ten charitable enterprises in C Country, and she stood on the stage with a smile on her face, struggling to maintain at all costs.

Janet had now been exposed to the public during the award evening, and that included her inner most personal emotions. It left a scar.

After the award evening ended, Janet and Kate were again surrounded by the reporters.

They were closely following her, and they asked her question after question, but Janet just stared at the cameras and didn't utter a single word.

The reporters eventually felt embarrassed because of her silence and didn't know whether they should continue asking or not.

At that very moment, a thick-skinned reporter then held his microphone up to Janet's mouth, and asked, "Miss Shao, Have you acquiesced yet that you are the indeed the third person?"

"Which news agency do you work for? What's your name? You'll be waiting for my lawyer's letters if you continue slandering and exposing my privacy like this!" Janet looked at the reporter with a dead-cold stare in her eyes.

"Miss Shao, we are just interviewing you. Is this really the attitude that you should be having?" The reporter was also dissatisfied with Janet's attitude.

Janet then started getting angry. "My attitude? Do you think I'm a public figure? I'm just an ordinary girl. Why do you have to round me up like this and interrogate me about my personal life every time you see me?"

"Miss Shao, you've become a public figure the moment you received the award on the stage. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say that you aren't." The reporter, who was from an unknown agency, began to quarrel with Janet.

"Alright! Then in this case, I quit. If you still have any more questions, please go and ask Daniel. Just ask him if I'm the third person. I'll sue you in court if he says no."

Janet started freaking out, and she didn't mind quarreling with the reporter anymore, nor being recorded by all the others.

"I know that both your father and brother are lawyers. Why should we ask Mr. Si? Perhaps it's just one of your one-sided loves." The reporter looked at her with disdain. He had to report everything this arrogant woman had to say.

Janet was hurt by the words "one-sided loves." She couldn't let all the others insult her like mercilessly like that.

She handed the award to a reporter next to her, and said, "Please hold this for me. Thank you."

After the reporter held her award in his arms, he watched her open up a bottle of mineral water and pouring it over the reporter's head.

The whole hall was silenced for several moments, and the reporter looked more than embarrassed. He handed his camera to another one of his colleagues and then stretched his fist towards Janet.
