their reletionship wes purely e professionel one. Dephne wes simply his senior in the enterteinment industry end en
ecqueintence in reel life, nothing more.
After Keaton made sure that they had deleted the photos and left, the two paparazzi suppressed their dissatisfaction and anger,
exchanged a glance, and then smiled knowingly.
As professionals in this field, they were always prepared for such situations when dealing with celebrities. They were always
ready to outwit and outmaneuver.
One of them took out a hidden phone and scrolled through a few photos, confirming that there were clear side shots of Daphne
entering the pharmacy and bending over the rows of shelves to pick something up.
The photos were taken from a distance through the window glass, so her face, as well as the item she was holding, were blurry
and indistinct.
Nevertheless, as long as the clothes matched, it wouldn't affect their editing and dissemination.
In just a few hours, the news of Daphne's pregnancy spread like wildfire on the internet.
The topic climbed up the trending list and quickly became the hottest topic of discussion among netizens.
All kinds of opinions could be read from online discussions.
'Did I miss something? Why is there news of her being pregnant before news of her relationship?'
'Who is the biological father of this child? Is it Theodore Frost?'
"Can the person above stop being disgusting? Theodore Frost is in prison! Do you want to go keep him company?'
'Let's be reasonable. Theodore hasn't been in there for long. If Daphne is really pregnant, it is still possible that the child is his.'
As a result, those who believed that the child's biological father was Theodore started arguing with Daphne's fans, resulting in a
heated exchange of insults.
In addition, some people questioned whether Daphne had simply gone to the pharmacy to buy medicine and there was no need
to make a fuss.
However, some busybodies took out enlarged images of the packaging boxes of several pregnancy test kits and compared them
to the items Daphne was holding in the photos. The patterns and outlines were completely identical, proving that she was indeed
picking pregnancy test kits.
All of a sudden, several different topics related to this matter surged to the top of the trending list:
Daphne'sPregnancy
FatherofDaphne'sChild
DaphneandTheodore
DaphneandLouis
When the last topic emerged, apart from many instigators deliberately stirring up trouble, Louis' only fan base expressed that
their relationship was purely a professional one. Daphne was simply his senior in the entertainment industry and an
acquaintance in real life, nothing more.
Regarding her pregnancy, they also expressed their respect and blessings, asking others not to get Louis involved.
Of course, there were also many irrational fans who began to launch personal attacks on Daphne as well.
Some even claimed that after she terminated her contract with Pearson Group, she went back to her former sugar daddy and
unexpectedly became pregnant.
However, this statement didn't hold up to scrutiny.
Daphne had been with Pearson Group since her debut. Even during the two years when she was falsely accused by Theodore
and kept a low profile, she had always been well-protected by Pearson Group. Moreover, she made it onto the Forbes list last
year, hence she wasn't in need of a sugar daddy at all.
The online discussions were all over the place, with all sorts of claims being made.
After Louis finished his last class and left the classroom, he overheard his classmates discussing with each other. When they
looked at him, their eyes were filled with curiosity, as if they wanted to find out something from him but didn't dare to speak up.
Louis quickly left the classroom, found a secluded place, and checked his phone to find the trending topics.
After reading them, he pursed his lips and sent a message to Daphne.
Louis, 'Turns out it's true that kissing can lead to pregnancy.'
On the other side, Daphne quickly replied, '...'
Then, she added, 'Didn't you assume that I could've flirted with other men besides you?'
Louis responded, 'That's possible but not likely.'
When Daphne saw the message on the screen, she couldn't help the smile forming on her lips.
After this incident started to escalate, her first thought was Louis, fearing that he would misunderstand.
However, before she could even think in his shoes, he sent her a reassuring message.
The feeling of being unconditionally trusted was nice.
Beside her, Zoe looked at her smiling face and nudged her with her elbow. "People are saying all sorts of things about you
online, yet you're still smiling."
Daphne immediately put away her phone and coughed. "N-No. I just saw a funny comment."
Zoe was puzzled. "What comment? Show me."
Daphne pushed her away embarrassedly. "Err, I've already scrolled past it. Actually, now that I think about it, it's not that funny."
Zoe was speechless at that.
Was she starting to have a split personality due to the insults?
Leanna felt sorry for her. "I should release a statement to respond to this. We can't just let it go on."
Daphne declined, "No. You can't make your pregnancy public during the first three months, or it might affect the child. Let's just
leave it like this. It's fine."
Zoe showed her a strange expression. "It's fine?"
Daphne nodded and brushed her hair. "Yes. I'm used to being criticized. Let them say what they want. Once this storm is over,
everything will be fine."
Leanna frowned. "No, but—"
Daphne approached her and held her hand. "Listen to me. Let's not worry about this matter. In our line of work, we're not afraid
of being criticized. What we're afraid of is not being criticized. Think about it. It's true that I've been bashed, but I've also gained a
lot of attention and popularity. In a few more months when you publicly announce the pregnancy, you can explain my situation
then. That will generate even more attention."
Leanna knew that Daphne was comforting her, but it was true that her current status and position no longer required such
negative attention and popularity.
After pondering for a moment, Zoe felt that Daphne's words made sense and said to Leanna, "Should we just listen to her? I've
heard that you shouldn't let too many people know about the pregnancy during the first three months. It's considered a taboo."
Daphne nodded fervently. "Exactly, so don't worry. It won't affect me. Actually, it doesn't matter what others say. As long as the
person we care about doesn't misunderstand, it'll be fine."
As she spoke, Daphne's voice became softer because she felt a little embarrassed.
Zoe raised a brow and nudged Leanna again. Daphne's intentions were clear now.
Leanna sighed, persuaded by the two of them.
"But you can't let them keep insulting you like this. Let the studio release a statement, saying that you're not pregnant, and it's all
a misunderstanding. I'll explain the rest later," Leanna suggested.
Daphne nodded. "Okay."
Daphne picked up her phone and sent a message to her assistant.
For now, this matter was temporarily resolved.
Suddenly, Zoe remembered something and looked at Leanna. "By the way, have you told Aidan about this yet?"
Leanna answered, "I almost forgot about that..."
They had just returned and were greeted by the overwhelming news online, hence she had no time to tell Aidan about it.
"I think you should wait for him to come back and tell him in person. When he sees the news online and hears it from you, his
expression will definitely be priceless," suggested Daphne.
