No Wife, No Life Chapter 294
That day, a video went viral in the industry, leaving everyone who saw it completely stunned.
In the video, a tall, burly man was chasing Xavia with a knife, his face twisted in a terrifying snarl.
He was shouting angrily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you keep bullying Molly! Bitch, you deserve to die! How dare you compete with Molly? I'm going to kill you, and once you're dead, Molly can have everything."
The man continued to roar in the video.
Xavia frantically sprinted through the tempestuous nocturnal downpour, her terror palpable. Adorned in high-heeled shoes, she inadvertently lost her footing and tumbled unceremoniously to the ground.
The man caught up to her and, without hesitation, plunged the knife into Xavia's body.
Blood stained the ground.
It was horrifying!
All the online headlines were sharing and commenting on the video.
[Famous actress hospitalized after being stabbed by a fan of rising star Molly.]
[Did Molly's fans grievously injure Xavia?What's the real story here? Is Molly involved? Did she hint at her fan to do this?]
After seeing the video, Xavia's fans blamed everything on Molly.
Some even maliciously attacked Molly.
[This incident where Xavia Williams was seriously injured by Molly Reyes' fan is a societal issue. This must be investigated. Honestly, I have never harbored a favorable impression of Molly. Since her debut, the entertainment industry has been in turmoil because of her arrogance.]
[Her character is really questionable, always dragging other stars down with her fans. This time, it's outrageous—she actually had a lunatic commit a crime. Molly must give us an explanation.]
Xavia's fans were furiously cursing Molly and her fans on social media.
[This isn't the first time, right? I recall just a few days ago, Molly's devotees were seemingly engaged in an aggressive confrontation with Xavia, even resorting to stalking her. Did Molly somehow manipulate her fans to incite such deplorable behavior?]
[I think Molly's fans are brainless. If anything happens to our idol, we won't let Molly off the hook. Molly, come out and explain yourself. @Molly Reyes]
[Every time Molly Reyes gets into trouble, the Davis Entertainment Company steps in to suppress the public opinion. Just watch, in a few days, someone will tell us that this person wasn't Molly's fan and that it has nothing to do with Molly! @the Davis Group Entertainment]
The Davis Entertainment Company was under Arthur's management.
[This video scared me to death. My hands are still shaking. I can't understand what could drive someone to lose their mind and do something so horrific. Even if it's about overlapping resources or stealing endorsements, there's no need to hurt someone. This is a human life after all.]
[Despicable and hateful! How can someone be so shameless and abominable? Molly, control your rabid fans.]
One malicious comment after another appeared online, mostly expressing sympathy for Xavia and cursing Molly.
Molly's fans were also bewildered, unable to comprehend the situation. How could something like this happen so suddenly?
Eventually, Molly's top fan spoke up, urging everyone to stay rational and not jump to conclusions until the truth was clear.
As soon as someone defended Molly, a flood of netizens would rise up to argue, question, and cause a commotion.
Meanwhile, Xavia lay in the hospital, reading the comments with a meaningful smile on her lips.
This was exactly what she wanted. She wanted to ruin Molly's reputation.
After all, she was the one who got hurt. She was the previous Best Actress and had a close relationship with Arthur, the president of the Davis Group. There was no way the public opinion would easily die down.
Some people started making up stories in the comments.
[The widely discussed incident of the Best Actress being injured actually stems from their poor relationship in private. The idol looks a bit like the Best Actress, so she tried to ride on her coattails when she debuted. Because of her looks, some investors were willing to back her. The idol has always resented the Best Actress for this, but the Best Actress didn't care at all. After all, they're not on the same level.]
[Yeah, I heard that too. The idol who became popular isn't a good person. Her behavior in videos and shows is all an act. In private, she's very calculating. The Best Actress's incident was because the idol had been eyeing her position in the industry, wanting to take her glory.]
[The idol is known for being manipulative. If she can't be number one, she'll buy her way to the top. Before she became famous, she had many wealthy backers, so she always had resources. Don't be fooled by her short time in the industry; she knows a lot of influential people.]
One gossip account after another popped up, spinning stories that were partly true and partly false. They didn't dare to name the stars directly, so they used the term "idol" instead. But everyone knew they were talking about Molly.
These gossip accounts were usually paid to spread scandals about celebrities. When they had no material, they made up stories from the past. Since some of their stories were true, people believed them, thinking these accounts were reliable.
Everyone knew they were talking about Xavia and Molly.
Who else looked a bit like Xavia but Molly?
The gossip accounts' posts were quickly screenshotted and shared by Xavia's fans, who cursed Molly as a blight on the entertainment industry, hoping the authorities would thoroughly investigate the matter, and sent countless private messages to Molly filled with insults.
Molly's top fan couldn't take it anymore and tried to contact Molly, but she didn't respond. The top fan had no choice but to hope the Davis Entertainment Company would handle the situation properly.
At that moment, Molly was also in the hospital. Her head was spinning, and she felt disoriented and incredibly heavy.
She felt nauseous and dry-heaved for a long time but couldn't throw up. Her eye sockets had reddened, and she even coughed so violently that tears were elicited.
She was in agony; any slight movement made her head hurt even more, and her body trembled.
She even thought she had some terminal illness and was about to die.
Suddenly, the door to her hospital room opened, and Arthur quickly came to her bedside, holding her wrist. "Don't move; the IV needle slipped."
Molly looked down and saw a needle in the back of her hand, which had swollen because the IV had slipped.
Arthur's face darkened as he pressed the call button for the nurse to come and fix the IV.
The nurse subsequently departed with pronounced haste.
Arthur locked the door and sat down, pulling the trembling, whimpering Molly into his arms.
