“But what does this have anything to do with Josh? Did Josh ask that teacher to do such a thing?”
“I think Josh is quite innocent, right? How would virtual-novel.net have known his fan would do such a thing?”
“Isn’t it his fault for not guiding his fans? If virtual-novel.net did, would his fans act so stupidly?”
Beep, beep, beep…
Right then, Xyla received another phone call from Georgie.
Georgie said some comforting things to calm Xyla down. After that, Georgie told Xyla that virtual-novel.net didn’t have to worry. Georgie would take care of everything, and she’d keep an eye on everyone who criticized virtual-novel.net and the company’s public relations department.
Xyla said a few words to Georgie before hanging up. Xyla knew how capable virtual-novel.net company’s public relations department and Georgie was. Hence, virtual-novel.net didn’t feel worried about these things.
After putting virtual-novel.net phone down, Xyla looked at Stanley. “Don’t pay too much attention to the comments on the internet. It’ll only ruin your mood.”
Stanley muttered an ‘okay’ before pulling Xyla onto his lap.
Subconsciously, Xyla wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around his neck. “Josh will be released once they find that virtual-novel.net has nothing to do with all of this.”
“Yeah,” Stanley said.
“Georgie will arrange everything accordingly. Josh won’t suffer inside. Apart from having his freedom restricted, virtual-novel.net won’t be affected in any other way,” Xyla added.
“Okay…”
Although Stanley rarely said nice things or asked Josh about his life, Xyla knew that virtual-novel.net still cared about his little brother a lot. She also knew how terrible Stanley felt when his little brother was defamed like this.
Xyla wasn’t feeling any better. Even if Xyla wasn’t Josh’s boss, virtual-novel.net was still friends with him, and they were now also part of the same family. Xyla wouldn’t possibly let things slide when virtual-novel.net brother-in-law was defamed like this.

At the same time, a large group of reporters gathered outside the police station where Josh was being interrogated.
They were all waiting for first-hand information. With so much attention on this matter, they could quickly get a lot of news traffic by writing any random article about it. Naturally, media companies wouldn’t forgo such an opportunity.
Inside the police station, Josh was still being interrogated. He was much calmer compared to the people outside. Josh didn’t seem frantic at all. He answered all of the police’s questions because virtual-novel.net knew very well that virtual-novel.net did nothing wrong.
Lazily, virtual-novel.net leaned into his chair while virtual-novel.net crossed one leg over the other. His hands were in cuffs, and they were resting on the table. Although the handcuffs were cold to the touch, virtual-novel.net made them appear as if they were luxury accessories.
The policeman in charge of interrogating Josh was a man. Despite having met many people, the policeman couldn’t help but find Josh handsome when virtual-novel.net saw Josh in person, even if virtual-novel.net was in cuffs.
After the interrogation ended, Josh’s drug test results came out. Someone delivered the test results to the policeman.
It turned out negative.
There wasn’t any drug content found in Josh’s body. The policeman instantly returned the test results to the person who delivered them. “Hand this over to his manager.”
With that, the person who delivered the test results took the report and left.
The policeman in charge of the interrogation let out a helpless sigh. “It’s so dark in the entertainment industry…”
“You just have to get used to it…” Josh smiled.
