Chapter 722


    Meanwhile, over at Martin Group, Joe had just wrapped up a meeting when


    Paul knocked and entered.


    “Mr. Martin, there’s been some trouble involving Mrs. Martin’s brother. Would you like to know


    more?” Paul had overheardpany chatter about Charles. and Felicia and felt it necessary to


    inform Joe.


    Joe was always swamped with work, so he definitely didn’t keep up with entertainment news or care


    about it. But since this involved Skr’s brother, it was important to inform him.


    Paul believed that Skr was likely already aware of the situation and was probably anxious about


    how to help Charles resolve it.


    Joe looked up and simply said, “Go ahead.”


    Paul then recounted the entire situation between Charles and Felicia. He didn’t


    know Charles well, so he wasn’t sure if the rumors were true.


    Besides the photographer, only the two people involved knew what really happened. Now, Felicia


    was allowing the situation to spiral, and Charles was being overwhelmed by various usations


    and online attacks.


    The truth had be blurred, with the general public’s perception being manipted by different


    new stories.


    After listening, Joe nced at his phone. There were no missed calls or messages from Skr.


    That alone signaled trouble.


    But Skr hadn’te to him for help.


    “Get someone to investigate this matter,” Joe instructed after a brief pause.


    Paul was about to leave and make arrangements when Joe stopped him again. “Wait, have


    someone prepare a PR strategy first.”

    The truth of the situation wasn’t the most important thing.


    Joe had met Charles and didn’t think he was the type to engage in such underhanded tactics.


    Someone who wanted to build a career based on a


    genuine skill wouldn’t take shortcuts.


    Paul was shocked. He realized that Joe’s regard for Skr was growing. He was so protective of


    Skr’s family that he didn’t even need to check the facts. He was already ready to defend them.


    Paul admired Joe’s selfless actions, but he also believed that Joe could


    benefit from not always acting anonymously.


    Fortunately, Joe had Paul, his versatile assistant, who could step in during


    critical moments.


    Paul set out to find Sarah and begin the public rtions efforts, understanding that it would take


    time to address the situation from start to finish.


    Next, he tried calling Skr. For some reason, the call went unanswered. She was probably busy


    and couldn’t pick up.


    Paul thought for a moment and left a message on Skr’s WhatsApp, “Mr.


    Martin has seen the news and asked me to consult with the PR team for a


    solution.


    “Don’t worry, Mr. Martin is genuinelymitted to helping. Our PR team will do everything they can


    to salvage Charles‘ career.”


    Meanwhile, Adele closely monitored the situation on her phone as she entered


    the room.


    Felicia smirked as Adele walked in. “See? My position in the entertainment industry is solid. My fan


    base is huge, and I’m the victim here. Many are rallying to support me.


    “Charles will beg me soon, and even Skr mighte to me. I’ve never suffered such humiliation


    since that incident with Skr. I’ll show them that


    I’m not to be messed with.”


    Adele replied, “Your fan base has grown by one million in just a few hours. We’re also getting


    numerous coboration offers. This situation is entirely in your favor.


    “You could even use this to expose Skr’s family to Joe, and by positioning yourself as a victim,


    you could make Mr. Martin pity you. It’s a win–win. Charles is a fool!”


    3/3


    Felicia thought about Charles‘ attitude toward her.


    Aside from Joe’s indifference, Charles was the only man who had treated her with such disregard.
