The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 342

"Isn't this Jared, who's married but has a child with another woman? How does he even have the time to stream?"

"Didn't he already get together with one of his fans? I heard she even had a kid recently."

"I can't even see him as an award-winning actor anymore, especially after the news of his child. He's a total scumbag."

Some people seemed to be filled with righteous indignation. They already started to attack Jared before he even said anything.

Jared glanced at the camera before looking in my direction.

I gestured at him to continue.

Holding my phone, I kept a close eye on his every move.

He cleared his throat a few times. He was just supposed to make a few clarifications, but he seemed intent on stirring up some tension.

"I deeply apologize for the incident involving Xavier and the fight," he started.

As expected, he was met with harsh criticism the moment he spoke.

The comments below were a sea of insults that were directed at him. There was nothing he could do but endure them.

There were some moments when it seemed like Jared was about to give up. He looked up at the camera and tried to find the right words.

"The fight Xavier got into was an accident. I hope everyone won't stop supporting him," Jared pleaded with the fans in a serious tone. "I'll make sure to keep a close eye on him."

But after the news from before, no one believed a word he said.

"Xavier actually got into the fight because of me," he finally confessed after thinking about it for a long time. His reputation was already ruined anyway, and his commercial value was at rock bottom. He couldn't let Xavier's value plummet as well.

"He got into the fight to defend me…" Jared exaggerated the story and tried to paint Xavier as a valiant figure.

The comments were filled with skepticism.

"A video of the fight Xavier got into was already released. Why are there still people trying to defend him?"

I was just about to give Murphy a call when I felt a tug on my sleeve. Looking down, I saw Jonas pointing to the nearby computer.

"Daddy, look at this," he said.

"What is it?" I followed Jonas and discovered that Jared's stream had been maliciously edited into short clips. The contents had been completely distorted.

Beneath the clips were countless hateful comments.

"People like this shouldn't even exist."

"They clearly committed a crime, but rich people get away with everything. It's so unfair."

"I seriously don't get what's so great about Xavier. Why is everyone defending him?"

Even though Jared's stream had helped a little, the video of Xavier fighting continued to spread like wildfire, with people constantly sharing it everywhere.

Before long, the video started trending internationally as well, and the comments there were equally harsh.
