Chapter 852
A classic doting father, no doubt.
Jay finally managed to put Yelena down and then said to Zoe, “I came here to discuss with you how we should deal with news about Yelena.”
“When did you find out about her?” Zoe went straight to the point.
If she still could see how close Yelena and Jay were, she would truly be foolish.
“The night when you were drunk and I sent you home,” Jay said.
“Did you do a DNA test?” Zoe’s face fell.
“I didn’t.”
Zoe raised her brows.
“There’s no need to,” Jay added.
“You’re so sure she’s yours?” Zoe smirked.
“I’m not sure, but… I don’t care even if she’s not,” Jay said.
Zoe stared at him.
“Let’s discuss the solution to the problem.” Jay suddenly changed the topic.
Zoe agreed that they should just cut to the chase.
They sat on the couch.
Clara carried Yelena to her room to play, giving them the space they needed.
“We have three possible solutions. One, deny that Yelena is your biological daughter. You can say that she is your relative’s or friend’s child.”
“I won’t deny it.” Zoe rejected his first suggestion.
That would not be fair to Yelena. Though she might not know anything given how young she was, it could potentially harm her once she grew up and looked back on this news.
Zoe could not bring herself to make Yelena call her Ms. York in public.
“Okay. Two, admit that Yelena is your biological daughter. However, you claimed that you were not married and did not have children when you joined Actors On Set. Your admission would cause you to be labeled as fake and your reputation might suffer. Given that your career has just started, you know the consequences of having a scandal break out at this point.”
Of course, she knew.
“Even if that is so, I’ll still choose Yelena.”
“There’s a third option.” Jay looked at Zoe and paused for a moment.
A long while later, Jay said, “Admit that Yelena is our child.”
“No way!” Zoe rejected the third option without a second thought.
“Zoe, why don’t you hear Jay out on why he even suggested it in the first place? Don’t be in a hurry to reject it.” Quinn tried to persuade Zoe.
“No matter what the reason is, I don’t want to hear it.” Zoe clearly detested the idea. “What’s more, isn’t claiming that I married you the same as the second option? What’s the difference? Just because it’s you and people in the entertainment circle don’t dare to offend you, and so in turn, they’ll let me off the hook?”
“Undeniably, that is one of the reasons.” Jay did not become agitated upon seeing Zoe’s reaction. He went on patiently,” Although the Levine family businesses are no longer around, its family assets remain unrivaled. Society is practical and money is everything. As a member of the Levine family, the entertainment industry will respect me because of that.
What’s more, I’ve made many actors famous through my movies and I have a good standing in the industry. Most media outlets wouldn’t dare to outrightly offend me.”
“Secondly, I’ll tell everyone that I’m the one who asked you to keep Yelena a secret, so that both of us can participate in this program and you can make a comeback in the industry. With that, public opinion will sway against me and I’ll announce my immediate withdrawal from the filming of Actors On Set while you remain in it. Don’t worry, I won’t let you get affected by the media and public opinion.” i novelbin
Zoe fell silent.
Given the power that Jay could wield in the industry, of course he was able to help her stay out of trouble.
After all, one person was sufficient to bear the consequences for this.
Put simply, Jay was using his position to put pressure on entertainment media outlets. If he were involved, media outlets would not dare go on a reporting spree.
Once news lost its virality, it would also lose all influence.
