Chapter 290
“What?” Toby’s expression changed slightly, and he felt a numbing chill surge through his body.
After a few seconds, he asked again, “How is Sonia now?”
“Miss Reed has not been out of her office, so those media andizens didn''t get to hurt her, but I
guess it has greatly affected her spirit,” Tom replied.
Toby squinted coldly. “Immediately expose scandals about some actors to suppress the news about
Sonia on the Inte, and alsopile a list of all those ounts that are malicious to Sonia as
well as theizens who scolded her.”
He would get back to them after all of these were settled.
“Understood!” Tom nodded and immediately did as he was told.
Toby took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and dialed Sonia’s number. “Hello, the
number you dialed is currently on another call. Please try againter...”
On another call?
Toby frowned.
Who could she possibly be talking to now?
The faces of Charles and Carl shed in Toby''s mind, and the more he thought about it, the more
solemn he looked.
Finally, he put his phone away and walked toward the elevator.
He was worried about her.
In the end, he decided he should just go and check on her himself.
In Paradigm Co., Sonia looked at Toby''s iing call. A strange glint shed in her eyes, but it
soon disappeared.
She could guess why he was calling.
He must have seen what happened online.
“Sonia, are you still there?” On the other end of the phone, Zane couldn''t hear her voice, so he
called out her name.

Sonia put the phone back to her ear. “I''m still here. Sorry. A call came in just now.”
“Who?” Zane asked curiously.
Sonia’s eyes shed upon thinking of that certain person. “Someone irrelevant. Don''t mind
them.”
“Okay.” Zane shrugged and did not doubt her words. Then, he said with a serious face, “Since what
happened to Tina was done by Tim, he shoulde forward to prove your innocence. Otherwise, it
would be very difficult to solve.”
“I know.” Sonia nodded. “I just called Tim, but no one answered.”
“He should be in an operation. A politician abroad had a brain tumor, and he learned that if he let
Tim perform the operation, it would greatly increase the sess rate, so he rushed over from
abroad, and the operation is set for today. My dad and the others are in the hospital right now,
apanying the politician. This operation is very long, and it is impossible to end it in any shorter
than ten hours,” Zane said.
Sonia suddenly raised her chin in realization.
“Oh, I see.”
She was worried just now that Tim didn''t answer the phone on purpose.
Since she found out now that it wasn''t intentional, she was relieved.
“But does that mean I have to wait for over ten hours before I can ask him to help me prove my
innocence?” Sonia frowned.
After more than ten hours, she could foresee that things would develop to the point where the
situation would be unsalvageable.
But that was not the most important thing at this point. The most important thing was that Asher
might not even wait for more than ten hours to force her to hand over the management rights.
Zane sighed. “That''s right. You can only wait now, but I can temporarily help you suppress the heat
on the Inte so that you have time to take a breather and stabilize Paradigm’s stock for the time
being... Huh?”
All of a sudden, he saw something surprising, and he even blinked a few times in surprise.
“What''s wrong?” Sonia asked curiously.
Zane moved his face closer to theputer to make sure he read it correctly, then he gulped and
said, “Sonia, there is some good news. There has been a lot less news about you on the Inte.
Did you tell someone to do it?”
“What? I didn’t.” Sonia shook her head.
Zane’s brows furrowed. “That’s weird. I just saw a lot ofmotion on the Inte a while ago, but
now, it''s almost all gone. It must have been suppressed by someone. You said it wasn''t you, so who
would it be? Could it be Charles or Carl?” “Impossible!” Sonia shook her head with certainty. “There
are many media reporters over at Charles’pany too, so I’m sure he’s busy dealing with the
media there, and he wouldn’t have the time to block the news for me. As for Carl, he has a
completely closed filming job today—he is probably still clueless as to what happened now, so it
can''t be him.”
“If it’s not Carl or Charles, who could it be? Wait. Could it be...” Zane then thought of a person, and
his expression became solemn.
Sonia also thought of him. Her red lips moved, and she slowly uttered, “Toby Fuller.”
It must be him. He even called me just now.
“I, too, think it’s him, and the possibility of that is very high. Sonia, if it is indeed Toby, will you forgive
him because of this?” Zane asked tentatively.
Sonia lowered her eyes and said softly, “No. These are twopletely different things.”
Zane immediately felt relieved andughed when he heard this. “That''s good, that''s good.”
Hearing his reaction, Sonia couldn’t help but feel a little strange. “Aren’t you Toby''s friend? Why
don''t you want me to forgive him?”
“Ah... Well...” Zane looked away with a guilty conscience and smiled shyly. “I mean, I''m just trying to
be fair here. He used to be so cruel to you, so of course I wouldn’t stand by him on this.”
“Wow. Really? Then you must be a pretty just person.” Sonia nodded.
Zane was relieved when he heard that she took his word for it.
“Alright, Zane. I’ll talk to youter.” Sonia rubbed her temples.
Hearing that, Zane understood what she meant and answered, “Okay. Call me anytime if you need
anything, and I will try my best to help you. Also, be careful not to have any direct contact with those
netizens and the media; they are all lunatics. They can easily hurt you, so remember to protect
yourself and don''t get hurt.”
“Don''t worry.” Listening to his advice, Sonia smiled.
Once the call ended, she ced her phone down and put her hand on the mouse. She then
immediately searched the Inte for news about her.
It turned out that, as Zane said, news articles about her had been suppressed, and only a few
pieces were found. The original hundreds of thousands ofments and reposts had all
disappeared, and were reced by the scandals of stars in the entertainment industry.
Some cheated, some hired prostitutes, some evaded taxes, and so much more.
Even theizens could tell that these scandals were to block her news out. Needless to mention,
she could tell as well.
But so what? The scandals of these stars had indeed attracted the attention ofizens, and a new
round of scolding had beenunched on the Inte.
However, this time round, the object of insult had be those stars.
“Phew...” Sonia got up and walked to her windows to look down. When she saw that the original
dozens of media reporters had suddenly been reduced by half, she knew that those reporters that
had left were probably going to interview those celebrities.
Seeing that, she heaved a sigh of relief since it gave her time to figure out a way to stabilize the
stock market.
In the hospital, Tina was sitting on the hospital bed in a good mood, snacking on some fruits.
Thinking of what she had just seen on the Inte and thoseizens’ verbal violence toward
Sonia, she couldn''t help butugh out loud.
Thoseizens are really stupid. I only posted a single post, and they all believed that Sonia was
behind my sexual assault.
However, it was precisely because of their foolishness that her little n could be so sessful.
She just wanted to put the me on Sonia, and she wanted her to never be able to get out of it.
How could Sonia still be clean and pure when I have been assaulted by others!
She refused to see this happen, so she was determined to drag Sonia to hell with her no matter
what!
However, Sonia was also a fool. She actually posted such useless remarks about how truth would
prevail—it only made everyone think that she did it.
Celebrities in the entertainment industry whose bad deeds had been exposed had all posted such
things, and they were pped in the face by their own words. Hence, no one on the inte would
believe that people who said that were innocent.
At this time, the door of the ward was opened, whereupon a thin, malnourished figure came in from
the outside and called out, “Tina.”
