Monica stood there, shocked for a moment. Her eyes brimmed with a mix of anger and disdain as she finally spoke, "Janele, you're a murderer. How dare you show up here?"
The reporters, seizing this unexpected turn of events, directed their attention and cameras toward Jane. Her unexpected appearance took everyone by surprise. Online users, who had speculated that Jane would be in hiding, vented their frustrations, hurling insults and curses her way.
However, some media personnel were thrilled, as Jane's presence promised a more engaging and dramatic interview. The media couldn't have asked for a better story, with the potential for a fiery confrontation between the two women.
A reporter, seizing the opportunity, stepped forward and questioned Jane, "Melissa and Monica have shared their accounts of what transpired at Lover Lake, stating that you pushed Monica into the lake. Is this true?"
Jane chuckled, looking at Melissa. "Melissa, did you truly witness me pushing Monica into the lake?"
Melissa nodded confidently. "Yes, my classmate and I saw the whole incident."
"Are you absolutely certain?" Jane continued, her gaze shifting to Monica, a hint of a sneer playing on her lips. "Monica, did you clearly see me push you into the lake?"
Monica, filled with rage, responded angrily, "Yes! You're so wicked that you wanted to murder me. How could I possibly be mistaken? You were the one who pushed me into the lake!"
Jane remained calm, her voice steady. "Monica, you claim that I pushed you into the lake with the intention of killing you. But you're still alive, aren't you? Who rescued you?"
Monica was caught off guard. She knew full well that Jane was the one who had saved her and performed CPR. However, she had no intention of revealing the truth. Monica glared at Jane and replied, "I lost consciousness at that moment. How could I know?"
"What about you, Melissa? You witnessed me pushing Monica into the water, so you must have seen who saved her, correct?" Jane inquired, arms crossed, her tone unwavering.
Melissa hesitated momentarily before responding, "It was... Osborn."
Jane, raising her voice, addressed the ward's door, "Osborn? Were you the one who rescued Monica?"
The reporters were ecstatic, unable to believe that Osborn had made an appearance. Osborn stepped into the room, removing his hat and sunglasses, revealing his handsome features.
"Wow, it's Osborn, the movie star!"
Osborn was known for being low-key and rarely granting media interviews. Even though reporters would often trail him for a chance to snap a picture, it was a rare sight to see him at an event like this.
A reporter couldn't hide his excitement and inquired, "Osborn, were you also present during the Lover Lake incident?"
Osborn nodded in affirmation. The reporter continued, "Can you tell us what transpired that day? Did Jane push Monica into the lake?"
Osborn cleared his throat and spoke gently, "No. On that day, we were at Lover Lake to shoot an advertisement. Jane had gone to scout the perfect location for the shoot. When I arrived at the scene, I saw Monica in the lake. I quickly jumped in to rescue her, even though I'm not a strong swimmer. Jane also entered the water to save both of us."
