Chapter 277: Low Spirits


    After what Eris said, a stunned silence lingered for a few seconds.Then, the ce erupted with


    enthusiastic roars.


    All the reporters stood up and shouted their questions.


    Their voices were so intermingled that it was hard to tell where they wereing from.


    "Eris, do you think you''ve done something so bad that you''re unable to stay in the show business?"


    "Have you realized your mistake?"


    "Eris! You''ve been banned by thepany and have been reced in the Story of Concubine


    lvanka.Is that the reason why you decided to quit?"


    "Eris, please exin!"


    "Eris..."


    "Eris..."


    "Please be quiet and listen to met"


    Eris shouted at the top of her lungs, effectively prating through the noise.


    One by one, the reporters lowered their voices into a murmur.


    Anticipating Eris to give a speech, they aimed the cameras at her and started recording.


    Eris showed up in a different style today.


    In the past, she always wore a white dress, which perfectlyplemented her long straight ck


    hair.She looked like an angel straight from heaven, an authentic dream girl that captured everyone''s


    heart.


    But today, her face looked pale and haggard.


    She was wearing a tight ck sweater partnered with a ck woolen coat and a pair of leggings that


    entuated the shape of her thighs.


    Her hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing her bony cheekbones and sunken eyes.She lowered her


    head and smiled bitterly.


    "Over the past few days, I have been under the spotlight.First of all, I''d like to apologize to my fans.I''m


    sorry for letting you down."


    Eris looked straight into the camera and bowed deeply.


    The reporters began to look at each other, not sure what to make of this demonstration.


    Eris’ eyes looked slightly wet.


    Then, she looked at the reporters and continued, "Secondly, I want to apologize to all of the


    netizens.I''m sorry for flooding your timeline with too much news about me.I''m sorry!"


    She performed another deep bow.She came off extremely sincere to everyone watching.


    When Eris stood straight, tears were starting to roll down her cheeks.


    "Lastly, I want to apologize to my sister, Wendy! Wendy, I admit that it was all my fault.From the very


    beginning, I already knew that Brian was your boyfriend.I should''ve never liked him, nor should I''ve


    been close to him in the first ce.But more importantly, the thing that I regret the most was drugging


    you with the hopes that the two of you would break up.I should''ve never put you in danger..."


    A chorus of gasps erupted in the crowd.


    Before, Eris refused to admit her crimes no matter how much she was pressed by the reporters.


    But now, she was admitting it right in front of them.


    All of them had their mouths wide open.


    Eris covered her face and cried behind her palms.


    "Sorry! I''m truly sorry! I had no idea that the consequences would be so serious! I''ve been haunted by


    my conscience over the past few days.I know that no matter what I say or do, there''s nothing that will


    change the fact that I did something horribly wrong.I no longer want to exin my side.I just want to


    admit to all the mistakes I''ve made.I''m willing to take all the criticisms from the public.I want to appease


    everyone''s anger, that’s why I''m willing to quit the show business..."


    Despite the range of emotions she disyed in her speech, the reporters didn''t feel an ounce of


    sympathy towards her.


    They began rebuking her, with much more venom in their voices.  "Eris, did you just confess to your


    crime?"


    "Your mother killed Wendy''s mother, and then you stole her boyfriend.How dare you ask for


    forgiveness?"


    "Shame on you!"


    "You''re disgusting!"


    Eris pursed her lips as she let the curses from the crowd rain down on her.


    She wanted to tear their mouths apart, but had no choice but to remain quiet and look remorseful.  The


    only emotions she could show in front of the cameras were regret and self-me.


    With tears streaming down her eyes, she performed another deep bow, her head almost reaching her


    knees.


    "I''m so sorry.I had no idea what my mother had done.I was only a child at that time.Wendy, I''m really


    sorry.I don''t expect you to forgive me.The reason I said this in front of the media today is that I want to


    make myself feel better."


    The rage in the reporters’ voice began to wither.  Although they hated Eris, they hated Cacia even


    more.What Cacia had done were too vicious for them to forget.


    She killed Wendy''s mother and then took her property.


    After that, she pushed Wendy and Reese into a dangerous situation!  With Cacia already in prison, the


    reporters could only vent all their anger and hatred on her daughter, Eris.


    But after Eris show of remorse, they began to see things a little bit differently.  Some reporters in the


    crowd nodded their heads in agreement.  The video that showed Cacia killing Cassie was shot a long


    time ago.


    At that time, both Wendy and Eris were still kids.


    It was too far-fetched to say that Eris was involved in her mother''s crimes.


    If they were really aplices, Eris would''ve already been arrested by the police.


    The reporters looked at Eris, whose eyes were red and marred with tears.They fell silent.


    Eris had already been punished.


    At first, this A-list actress was at the peak of her glory.


    But now, she had be everyone''s target.Her parents were imprisoned.She lost her job.


    And then, her fiance left her.


    In the past, she refused to admit any of the things she had done.


    But now, she apologized to the public in front of the media.


    She even said that she was willing to quit the show business.


    The reporters didn''t hate her that much anymore.


    Eris'' press conferencested for two whole hours.


    She kept bowing and maintained an apologetic air, constantly regretting her own behavior.


    Her attitude appeared so sincere that no one could find anything wrong with it.  As soon as the press


    conference was over, videos of it began to go viral.


    When Wendy received the news, she was in the middle of filming at the set.


    During the intermission, Daisy ran towards her, with her mobile phone in her hand.


    "Wendy, Wendy! You have to watch this video!"


    It was an edited version of Eris’ press conference.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    It was cut down into three minutes, and Wendy was able to finish it quickly.


    Once she was done, she raised her eyebrows.


    "Wow! Can''t you believe Eris’ audacity? She even held a press conference to announce to the public


    that she''s quitting her job.What an idiot!"


    ‘Idiot? I don''t think so.In fact, I think Eris made a really wise decision.She put herself in a very


    sympathetic position and won everyone''s heart"


    Daisy took back her phone and said in a disdainful tone, "It''s good that she quit the business.You no


    longer have to deal with such a two-faced bitch in the future."


    The thought of how fake Eris’ show of gentleness was andparing it to how vicious she was in


    reality sent shivers down Daisy''s spine.


    ‘Damn! Women like her are too scary! If you offended her even by ident, you''d probably die and


    never see iting"


    "Eris was making an unnecessary move," Daisymented.


    "She was not." Wendy ced her hand on her chin and was deep in thought.


    "What?" Daisy looked confused.


    "Check her Weibo page.You''ll see what I mean."


    Immediately, Daisy opened Weibo on her phone.


    The top video on the page was her announcement that she was quitting the show business.


    Daisy scrolled down to thement section and was shocked by what she saw.


    Theizens who had been cursing her angrily seemed to have a change of attitude once they saw the


    video.


    The situation had now been reversed.  "Ah...get what you mean.Watching this video, I don''t know why


    but I suddenly feel sorry for Eris!"


    "Me too.Now that I think about it, the only thing that Eris did wrong was to fall in love with Brian.And


    can you really me her for that? After all, no one really has control of their own heart.On the contrary,


    I think it''s Brian who''s the jerk.Shit! If he hadn''t given Eris so much hope of being with him, she


    would''ve never done so much for him!"


    "You''re right.Now that Eris has realized her mistake and been punished for it, I no longer hate her."


    "She was just implicated by her mother.If not for that, robbing her sister’s boyfriend wouldn''t be as big


    of a scandal.How could such a thing cause a huge impact?"


    Daisy was speechless, her face housing a shocked expression.


    "What?"


    Wendy wasn''t as shocked as Daisy was.She was lost in her thought.


    ‘After what happened this time, Eris seems to have be smarter"
