Lisa understood what Jennie meant, and she also understood that even though she wanted to pretend that she had nothing to do with the Manoban family, she couldn’t. Hiding wouldn’t solve the problem either. Like Jennie said, attacking was the best way to go about it.

“We’ll do as you say. I’ll get a press conference ready so I can declare that I’m severing all ties with the Manoban family.” Lisa was also very decisive. Since the truth had to come out, she could only use a press conference to make her standpoint known.

“Very good. I’ll call my mom immediately.” She shot Lisa an admiring glance. Women should all be decisive like this.

The Dragon’s Emissary was the head of the media industry for a good reason. Although they had little time to prepare, the result was satisfactory. The article they produced was undoubtedly better than the ones released by the Lee family’s Lee Media and their subsidiary company, Tiansheng Media.

“The Film Empressʼ Secret” was the title of the article. It was simple but eye-catching. The subtitle, “An exclusive interview with Film Empress Lisa on her mysterious family background,” encouraged people to step in and take a look.

Lee Media and Tiansheng Media, on the other hand, wrote entertainment-oriented articles with vulgar titles about illegitimate children, the rich and powerful, social-climbing, and the like. Although plenty of people read their articles, most of their readers knew that what they were reading was gossip, and few believed in said gossip.

Plus, their reader count had dropped since Jennie and Lisa openly revealed their love to the public. Several readers were very displeased with the absurdity of the articles released by Lee Media and Tiansheng Media.

By contrast, the readers were much more inclined to read from The Dragon’s Emissary. The headline was plain and not at all sensational, but that only made the article seem more trustworthy. With the words “exclusive interview” in the subtitle, the audience didn’t have to think twice about which media to read from.

The three separate articles released by The Dragon’s Emissary, Lee Media, and Tiansheng Media all talked about the blood relation between Lisa Manoban and the Manoban family.

As an abandoned illegitimate daughter, Lisa had to put in a lot of effort to attain the fame and success she now enjoyed. The Dragon’s Emissary emphasized this. Every single word in the article helped paint Lisa as an outstanding woman who was not only proud but also hardworking.

The interview section asked the woman about her views on family. She responded without any hesitation.

“I am an orphan who was abandoned from an early age. Back then, I would wonder why I had no family, but as an adult, I no longer have the time to think about that. I just want to work hard for the life I have now. After I married Jennie, I stopped thinking about my birth family, because I now have a family of my own. It doesn’t matter why they abandoned me. I don’t care, and I don’t want to worry about it anymore.”

“Rumors say that your father is a wealthy man. If this is true, what will you do?”

“Regardless of his identity, he became a stranger from the moment he abandoned me. But if he was a beggar or someone who couldn’t take care of himself, I wouldn’t hesitate to lend him a hand. Otherwise, I hope that we do not disturb each other.”

“Great Empress Lisa, isn’t that too cruel? They are your parents, after all,” the reporter asked according to the script.

“They are not qualified. If I had a child, I would never let them grow up in an orphanage—not unless I was dead.” Ruthless? Heartless? Well, she’d never believed that the people who had abandoned her were qualified to call themselves her parents.

A video recording of the interview spread very quickly. Although not everyone was on her side, as some believed that she was being too heartless, the majority of people supported her.

Moreover, the public had always been partial to the side of the victim, so the orphan Lisa was in an unshakable position.

Compared to the article from The Dragon’s Emissary, the other two articles from Lee Media and Tiansheng Media were exaggerated and dramatic. They talked about Lisa's ascendancy as the illegitimate daughter of a prestigious family, as well as her marriage with Jennie being due to her desire for revenge. Every sentence could lead to a myriad of other topics, but the public did not take the articles well. The two media companies were immediately condemned.

At this point, the ferocity of Lisa's fanbase must be mentioned. When Lee Media and Tiansheng Media released their articles, her fans immediately launched a protest. From Lisa's official website to Lee Media and Tiansheng Media’s official websites, the protest raged.

At first, neither company paid attention to it. Fandom outrages in the entertainment industry were so common that the companies didn’t even bother to respond. As a result, their websites were eventually hacked into.

【Slandering Great Empress Lisa? Kill!】A violent comment.

【Rotten company, rotten articles, rotten people!】An angry comment.

【Such impractical opinions, the media must take responsibility! 】A sensible comment.

【Return me my innocence!】A playful comment.

Jennie and Lisa were both keeping an eye on the situation and didn’t know whether they should thank the fans for their support or get a headache from their obstinance.

“If I bully you in the future, will your fans also hack into Resplendent Entertainment’s website?” she asked Lisa seriously.

At the moment, both of them were in her office. Jisoo, Rosè, and Seulgi were also inside bustling about. When they heard her question, strange expressions suddenly appeared on their faces.

Lisa's expression was also a bit strange as she stared at Jennie, caught between wanting to laugh and wanting to cry. She realized that the more she learned about her, the more often she encountered her unusual side.

Some of Jennie's thoughts were so unique that they left Lisa completely at a loss.

“I won’t tell them,” she promised after a moment of contemplation. Although she knew that Jennie was just teasing her, she responded with similar solemnity.

Jennie took in her serious expression and raised an eyebrow. Then, she reached out and patted her head with the grace of a queen.

“Good.”

Instantly, the three eavesdropping assistants burst into laughter.

Who would’ve expected the interactions between these two icebergs to be so cute and entertaining at the same time? As the assistants watched, they all felt that the two were very much in love.
