Chapter 1075


    This wasn''t the end of thement. The tform that they used had a limit to the number of words


    in a statement, and Charles couldn''t finish his words all at once, so he had to split it into a few


    comments. His secondment came soon after his first.


    ''Even if we met other regr clients, we would still pick this hotel. As I said, this hotel is a high-ss


    ce that allows us the security and privacy to discuss our work-rted matters. I''m not the only


    one who does this. Anyone in the business industry would do the same. Oh, I forgot, you''re


    probably just a low-level worker who''s too far from our level. You probably haven''t attended a work


    meeting like this, which is why you don''t know how normal it is. Well, you should remember this now


    that I''ve exined it to you. I hope you don''t embarrass yourself again [smile]''.


    When theizens saw Charles revealing everything to the public, they were shocked for a moment


    before responding to their situation.’


    ''That''s cool. President Lane, you''re one of a kind—no regr person can achieve your standards. I


    intended to help you out, but it seems like you don''t need us at all. You can do everything yourself—


    it makes us feel like we''re useless. I bet the person whosement that triggered this is probably


    too furious to say anything now,'' onement said.


    ''Logically speaking, I should feel angry as I''m one of the low-level workers that President Lane


    mentioned in hisment. But for some reason, I don''t feel angry at all. If anything, I feel pretty


    good!'' anotherment said.


    I agree! I''m the same. But I think I know why... President Lane is targeting that person, and as we


    watch the argument go on, we associate ourselves with President Lane, not


    that person or ourselves. That''s why we enjoy this,'' thement said in response,


    I see,'' the earliermenter replied. The person who had made the triggeringment read


    Charles'' reply to him and all the otherizens'' sarcastic remarks toward him. His face was red with


    anger, but he didn''t dare to say much. He wanted to argue against Charles and curse at him, but as


    Charles said, he was nothing but a low-level worker while Charles was a big shot. He couldn''t afford


    to offend Charles, so he didn''t say anything in the end. All he could do was delete hisment


    before going offline.


    Theizens were keeping an eye on him. When they saw that hisment had disappeared, they


    knew that the person had been too embarrassed to stay. So theizens cheered when he left.


    That''s the way it should be! The CCTVfootage made it clear that there''s nothing between Charles


    and Sonia. They were just there for business. So why did that person try so hard to prove their


    intelligence? Look at how that turned out. They deserved it! The otherizens thought.


    There was more than just one person who made such meanments. But after seeing how the


    firstment had been rebutted so harshly, many of the othermenters held themselves back.


    ''Hey, President Lane, how are you nning to go against Miss Lore and Squirrel Media?'' This


    comment surfaced under Charles'' post after a while. Theizens hadn''t gotten an answer from


    Sonia and Toby, so they were clearly trying to dig some information from Charles. They figured that


    Charles wasn''t as serious and stern as Sonia and Toby—He''d probably answer us, right?


    In the end, they were right—Charles did give them an answer. However, it wasn''t the answer that


    they were looking for. ''Hehe... I don''t know about this. After all, Sonia''s the victim more than I am.


    So, this will depend on what she wants to do. I''ll support her regardless of how she gets revenge


    against them,'' Charlesmented.


    ''Ahh... This wasn''t the answer we wanted!’ Theizens were devastated. Are the three of them


    devils or what? Why are they so hard to deal with? Even Sonia was amused at thements.


    "Charles, you''re really—" Sonia started.


    Charles held a finger up to stop her. "I know what you''re about to say. You''re going to say that I''m


    nasty because I messed around with theizens, right? But I''m not fooling around with them. I''m


    being honest. I''ll go ording to your will—I''ll do whatever you need me to do in order to avenge


    you. But you didn''t tell me what to do, so what am I supposed to tell them?" he said.


    Sonia shook her head. She was speechless for a moment and was about to say something when a


    phone ringtone sounded. Both Sonia and Charles turned to see Toby''s phone ringing. With the both


    of them staring at him, Toby pulled his phone out. The moment he saw the caller ID, his face


    darkened, and the space between his brows narrowed. Finally, he slid his phone across the screen


    to end the call.


    When Sonia saw his actions, she could somehow guess who the caller was. "Was that Harry?"


    Toby shook his head. "No. It was Harry''s son and Lte''s father. He’s the head of the Lore Family


    and the CEO of Lore Communications."


    Sonia nodded to show that she heard what he had said. She didn''t question him further as she


    wasn''t interested in knowing more. Charles, on the other hand, seemed somewhat interested. "That


    guy''s calling you to talk about this, huh? I bet he saw your statement and knew that you''re


    searching for the person responsible for this matter. Perhaps that was why he contacted you. But


    that''s a pretty pretentious move, isn''t it?"


    A disdainful look surfaced on Toby''s face. "I bet this guy already knew that his daughter was


    responsible for this. His daughter probably got Lore Communications to make her post go viral. I''m


    sure that this person is aware of this matter since he''s the CEO. After all, either the CEO or the


    president has to provide the passcode to boost the engagement of a postregr staff from other


    departments wouldn’t be able to do it. So, when Lte got Lore Communications to do this, she


    must have already told the CEO about it and gotten his approval beforehand."


    "Are you saying that this guy secretly allowed his daughter to ruin my reputation and frame me


    online? Arc you saying he''s supporting his daughter''s behavior because he wants us to break up?"


    Sonia asked as she turned to look at Toby. Toby wore a grim expression on his face, and the air


    around him seemed to be a few degrees colder. His gloomy aura seemed to suck all the oxygen out


    of the room. He was clearly furious.


    "That''s right. That''s what Toby meant." Charles stuck his thumb up. "That''s why I think this guy is


    pretentious. Look. After ourpany announced his daughter as one of the people responsible for


    this matter, he never once called Toby to plead for forgiveness. But now that Toby had made a


    statement himself, he finally called Toby. Obviously, this guy thought Toby wouldn''t do anything to


    him at first—his beliefs only started getting shaky after he saw Toby''s post. That was why he


    decided to call and ask for forgiveness. But, no... Perhaps it''s not that... He seems like he''s just


    testing waters right now," Charles said.


    "Charles is right." Toby nodded in agreement. Sonia was quiet for a while before she let out augh.


    "That''s interesting. His daughter is interested in you, so he wants us to break up. As a father, this


    guy didn''t stop his daughter after seeing what she did; he even tried to help her out secretly. As I


    observe the way that both of them are, I can''t help but wonder... Could your teacher secretly be


    hoping for us to break up as well?"


    When Toby heard Sonia''s words, his pupils shrank in surprise. He couldn''t utter a single word for a


    while. Sonia''s heart sank when she saw his response, but she quickly spread her lips into a wider


    smile. "It seems like I was right. Your teacher doesn''t seem to fancy me."

    "Sh*t. All three generations of the Lore Family are waiting for you and Sonia to split up. That''s so


    weird." Charles was surprised and looked as if he had just heard the funniest joke of his life. Toby


    ignored hisment as he stared at Sonia. He parted his lips and hesitated for a while before


    speaking. "I’m sorry. I didn''t know that my teacher..."


    "It''s not your fault." Sonia shook her head. "I’m not money; I can''t expect everyone to love me. So, I


    don''t really care whether your teacher likes me. What I care about is whether you''d get impacted by


    them. I''m afraid you might think of breaking up with me when you hear that they don''t like me or


    want you to break up with me..." she muttered.


    Toby let out augh before flicking his fingers against her forehead. "What nonsense is that? Why


    would I do such a thing? If I had such thoughts, it''d only show that I''m someone who can''t form my


    own opinions. Do I look like a puppet that''s being controlled by someone else? I haven''t told you


    this yet, but... My meeting with my teacher today went pretty bad."
