Chapter 1047


    Toby called at this precise moment. He was most likely aware of the scandal circting on the


    Inte.


    However, Sonia was unsure if he knew who was behind everything.


    What will he do if he finds out?


    Her heart was racing as she looked at Toby''s caller ID. It took her a while to answer with a weak


    voice. "Hello?"


    "Hello, Miss Reed." To her surprise, it was Tom on the other end of the phone, not Toby.


    "Miss Reed, this is Tom. I apologize. President Fuller is currently in a meeting with his client. I made


    the decision to call you using his mobile phone," Tom borated.


    Oh...


    Sonia''s red lips pressed together. Frankly, she was a little disappointed that it was not Toby who had


    called.


    "What''s the matter, Toby?" she asked in the midst of her mild headache.


    At that time, she was convinced that something was going on in her head that caused her


    uneasiness.


    "I heard about the issue on the Inte, Miss Reed. Are you alright?" Tom inquired, concerned.


    His words did not surprise Sonia.


    She had already deduced that he had called for this purpose and that he was simply asking for the


    sake of asking.


    "I''m fine," Sonia responded while shaking her head. She then narrowed her eyes and asked, "Tom,


    does Toby know about this?"


    "He doesn''t, yet. He''s still in a meeting with someone important, but don''t get the wrong idea—the


    client is Toby''s male teacher," he quickly exined because he was afraid she would be mistaken


    that Toby was meeting a woman.


    Sonia almost burst intoughter upon hearing his words.


    Tom mentioned that the individual was important to Toby, which made her nervous. It was not the


    fact that he had a teacher that made her ufortable but the existence of said teacher''s


    granddaughter.


    Despite her difort, Sonia did not express it on her face. "I know. Toby told me about him. I''m


    okay," she said while forcing a smile.


    "That''s great." Tom sighed with relief.


    "What about you, Tom? Do you believe what''s on the Inte to be true?" she asked, her eyes


    lowering.


    Instead, heughed as if he had heard a joke. "Miss Reed, aren''t you implying that my IQ is low?


    That kind of Inte nonsense appears to be fake at first nce. Furthermore, President Fuller


    informed me of the errand you both ran at the hotel yesterday. I even sent Mr. Smith a personal


    thank-you note."

    "Do you really believe everything on the Inte to be a hoax? " Sonia''s face gradually brightened.


    "Of course, not just me; I think President Fuller will not believe it when he sees it as well. After all,


    you have a close rtionship with him and would never do such a thing to him. Furthermore,


    despite the blurry photo, I immediately recognized the man as President Lane when I clicked on it.


    As a result, it''s even less likely that you''ll do something like that. You shouldn''t worry about


    President Fuller''s doubt toward you, Miss Reed. I''ll give him a detailed exnation after he finishes


    his meeting. He will never let go of the people who are using you and the Squirrel Media," Tom


    assured, nodding.


    The Squirrel Media dared to risk offending Toby by spreading such rumors, indicating that they were


    clearly acting on orders from outside sources.


    In other words, whoever dared to do such a thing would have to pay the price.


    "That''s very presumptuous of you to say." Sonia lowered her eyes, making it difficult to see the


    complex look in her eyes.


    Tom only said this because he was oblivious to who was spreading the rumors. Would, he still be so


    confident that the mastermind will be captured if he''s aware?


    "What do you mean, Miss Reed?" Tom, who failed to understand what she was saying, inquired. He


    found her words suspicious.


    Sonia closed her eyes and concluded, "It’s okay, you''ll get it sooner orter."


    "Huh?" He was surprised.


    Refusing to exin further, she pinched the bridge of her nose before responding, "I''m a little tired.


    I''ll hang up first."


    "Okay, Miss Reed. Take a rest. Don''t worry, we''ll take care of it," Tom reassured.


    Sonia gave a light hum before hanging up the phone.


    Tom looked at the home screen of the phone and noticed something was off. Miss Reed''s reaction


    was unusual as if she''s full of thoughts.


    However, it was not something he should mull over as this was clearly Toby''s job scope.


    She was his darling after all.


    "Hey!" Tom eximed at the door after cing Toby''s phone on the table.


    "How may I assist you, Mr. Brown?" asked a man in a suit.


    "Please notify the public rtions department to suppress the Inte scandals, especially those


    vilements. Have them all removed immediately. Please also investigate which spam groups are


    behind all of this. The news was also retweeted by major media and marketing ounts. Please


    summarize them and forward them to President Fuller for future action," Tom instructed with a nk


    expression.


    "Yes, sir." The man nodded.


    "In addition, please investigate the perpetrator who was spreading the false rumors and report it to


    me immediately," Tom added.


    "Roger that," the man said as he turned to leave.


    Tom cursed inside as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Ah, give me a break. Why does trouble


    keep knocking on Miss Reed''s door? Now, who''s the jealousss this time?


    In actuality, Sonia was not the only one who had correctly guessed the perpetrator to be a woman


    as Tom was aware of it too.


    He believed that Sonia was most likely in a bad mood and spirit right now because she suspected


    the person behind the scenes to be a woman who fancied Toby, exining her uneasiness.


    As such, Toby''s poprity with women was to me. There were far too many women who were


    interested in him!


    However, Toby did warn the women to stop entangling him. Otherwise, he might be ruthless toward


    them. As a result, none of the women who were interested in Toby had approached him over the


    years thanks to his warning and clever tricks.


    This time round, a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Perhaps the woman was in


    hibernation when Toby announced his warning at that time, or she thought that he had be


    gentler recently, making him an easier target now. Otherwise, what made her think she had a


    chance now?


    Regardless, this woman would only suffer.


    Tom readjusted his sses and picked up Toby''s phone before leaving the office. He then made his


    way to the conference room.


    Although he had no idea how long Toby would be speaking with Harry, he waited there so that he


    could inform Toby of the situation as soon as possible.


    When Tom entered the conference room, he noticed that the door was slightly ajar.


    Therefore, he could see Toby and Harry conversing.


    Harry was also dressed in a formal suit. Despite his head of white hair, his face was ruddy and


    energetic with no cane in sight. At first nce, he appeared to be an elderly man in good health


    who kept fit through constant exercise.


    Being a sharp one, Harry noticed Tom''s arrival almost immediately. "Toby, your assistant appears to


    have something to tell you," he notified with a smile.
