Chapter 1205: 1205
Joan Chandler stood behind the thick curtain, secretly opened a gap, and glanced at the dense crowd outside, but only glanced at it, someone in the crowd seemed to notice the strangeness of the curtain here, and in an instant The flashing lights swarmed here, only one or two at first, but then others also realized the change, and a dozen flashing lights poured in in a blink of an eye, which made Joan so frightened that she quickly pulled the curtains tight.
Closing her eyes, Joan could feel countless bright spots flashing in the dark world, which made her brain start to ache, and a dizziness in her head made her unable to stand at all. Opening her eyes, Joan checked the curtains up and down again, and after confirming that there was no gap, she breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped down on the sofa in horror, her head blank, without any thoughts.
Since last night, reporters began to gather in front of their house one after another. She was dressed up yesterday and was going to pick him up from Jordan's school. During this period of time, Jordan's mental state was very unstable. Having reacted to this several times before and after, Joan had to start spending more energy on her son. But just yesterday, as soon as I went out, several people rushed up, like a lunatic, that cannibalism scared Joan out of her body, and she didn't even have time to see whether it was three or four in front of her. escaped back to the house.
When Evan came back, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but comfort Joan, saying that the reporters would leave tomorrow if they didn't wait for them. Just don't know if it's comforting Joan or comforting himself.
When we came together this morning, Joan saw the incredible scene outside the window. Their villa was surrounded by reporters. Although she didn't count them in detail, there were at least a hundred people, densely packed, just like when ants moved in a rainstorm. sight.
All the reporters aimed their cameras at their houses, and when she passed the sink in the kitchen, the oncoming flash made her panic, and she realized what it means to "live under the spotlight", She frantically tried to close all the curtains, but the reporters outside seemed to be crazy, using cameras to record her every move, even the movement of pulling the curtains, which made her into an infinite panic, all this too Terrible, as if... as if those reporters could dismember every inch of your body with their eyes.
Joan hurriedly went to her husband to ask for advice, but Evan was frightened to the point of confusion. Her hands were shaking more than anyone else, and she even fell down when walking on the level ground. She stumbled to the kitchen and began to rummage. Looking for wine, after drinking two glasses of whisky in one breath, he locked himself in the study like a coward and refused to come out again.
Joan was sitting on the sofa, but her body began to tremble uncontrollably, making her feel like she was standing naked in the ice and snow, surrounded by deserted people, and she couldn't find any help. She knew that something happened about Michael Jackson, and she also watched "News Sixty" yesterday, and the scandal of their family was completely exposed in this way, making her feel naked and without any cover.
Joan actually knew the whole thing, after all, it was her husband and son, she knew that the husband was instigating his son to lie, but she felt that it was not right, but she did not stop it. Because deep down, she always believed that Michael was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and they just wanted 20 million dollars—just 20 million, which was just a drop in the bucket for Michael, but it could save their whole family. What's more, hasn't Michael always been keen to do charity? Then he will use it as a charity to support their family, what a perfect excuse!
Even including Amitol, Joan had guessed it in the depths of her heart, but she chose to avoid it, and chose to ignore it. Maybe deep down in her subconscious, she also agreed with her husband's actions, but she didn't want to. Just bear the shackles of morality.
But today, no, it was exactly yesterday that Joan really realized what she had done, how terrible the pressure Michael was under when facing the media bombardment; Joan then really realized her What did I miss? When Hugo faced the media's righteous words, what a terrible accusation was that "witch trial".
There's no way for her to get into heaven, right?
Joan sat on the sofa and shivered. At this time, she didn't even have the strength to cry. She was surrounded by despair. She could only tremble her lips and sat on the spot with a blank mind, even if it was just to move her fingers. It all seemed so laborious.
"Mom, we did something wrong, didn't we?" A voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the living room, which made Joan jump like a bird in shock - this spacious living room used to be her pride, but now it It became her nightmare, and the echo made her feel like she was in hell. She looked up suddenly, and saw Jordan wearing his sleepiness. The fifteen-year-old child's figure was half-twisted like a sapling. Her green face was full of pimples, but her eyes should be clean and clear. It was full of pain at this time.
Joan sat at a loss, she couldn't make any reaction. Just then, a loud bang came from the window, and then a stone hit the living room floor with a muffled sound - someone smashed the window. This made Joan start screaming, and the din outside the window swarmed like a tidal wave.
"Devil! You devils! You deceived the whole world with lies, you ruined an artist's life with conspiracy, and you ruined a man's life with greed!"
"****! Damn ****! You should go to hell!"
"Vampires! Cunning, sinister, shameless vampires! You should be crucified forever!"
"Disgusting Chandler! Shameless Chandler! Dirty Chandler!"
"Return my Michael Jackson, return my Michael! Woohoo..."
The sound of ping ping pong banging came from all directions of the house, as if the whole world was attacking this land in a concentrated manner, the people's anger was like a volcano, firmly surrounding this place, turning this gorgeous palace into a terrifying island. , the fire of hell ignited strangely in sight, as if everything could be burnt out easily.
Joan looked around, the living room that originally allowed her to enjoy countless comforts, has now become a cage, imprisoning her in this world, and the darkness in all directions has shrouded the entire house, even at the beginning of time. The rising sun has no way to break this bondage, as if... as if this land has been abandoned by God.
Then Joan saw Jordan standing there shivering. The thin fifteen-year-old figure was like a mast drifting in a storm, which could be broken at any time. Jordan's terrified face was full of grandeur and fear, and every sound made him startle, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"God, what did I do, what did I do, what did I do to my child." Joan held her head with trembling hands, she wanted to step forward and give Jordan a hug, but Jordan was afraid He took a half step back, his eyes filled with rejection and resistance. This made Joan stiff in place like this, even though the swearing was still in his ears, it was far less than the despair on Jordan's face at this time.
Joan suddenly remembered Jordan's psychiatrist. In fact, Jordan has been receiving psychotherapy since September last year, but the situation has been up and down, which also makes Joan not pay much attention - she is enjoying her life as a superior person . But only then did Joan realize how badly that lie had hurt Jordan.
Joan knew she should be blamed, but she couldn't bear the pain, so she quickly found a scapegoat, "Evan Chandler! You coward! You devil! You ruined Jordan, you ruined I, you ruined this home!" Joan was like a demon who emerged from hell, waving her minions and running barefoot towards the study, then frantically slammed the door of the study, trying to get her husband out. Then bite the aorta in his neck and watch him tortured to death alive.
Jordan stood in panic, his breathing began to become rapid, he wanted to dissuade his mother, but the madness of her mother kept him away; he wanted to find a place to hide, but there were curses and beatings coming from all directions. The sound made him feel that nowhere in the world was safe; he wanted to find the warmth of the sun, but the thick ink of the night seemed to never be able to push away, and the ubiquitous navy blue made him feel that the whole world was full of so dirty.
Suddenly, Jordan began to rub his arms hard. He felt that he was really dirty, as if he had been splashed with ink. He wanted to wash himself, but no matter how hard he rubbed it, he couldn't clean it, and instead it became more and more Black, which made Jordan start screaming, "Mom, Dad! Mom! Help, help me, help me quickly!"
But when he looked up, he saw his mother who was still knocking on the door. Suddenly the study door opened, and his father appeared fiercely. He wanted to beat his mother fiercely, but was caught off guard by his mother. He shouted angrily, "You lunatic!" The strong smell of alcohol could be smelled even across a corridor.
Father! Jordan suddenly realized something, he took a step back in fear, and another step, he remembered the clip when his father tricked him into lying, his father's hideous and distorted smile was like a Halloween demon mask, and it became a nightmare, Jordan was frightened. The ground turned and ran away, opened the door, opened the door again.
The sun suddenly fell, and the warmth of the whole body made Jordan groan comfortably. He wanted this warmth. He dreamed of this warmth. The tears suddenly began to burst, and he covered it in pain. His cheeks, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lied, I lied, all my dad asked me to lie, I lied!"
