Chapter 1043


    "You don''t need to go. Just have your assistant chase them away. You''ll be going to the hotel I went to


    with Charles yesterday and get the whole surveince footage when we were there." Sonia peered at


    her.


    Hesitantly, Daphne replied, "President Reed, I doubt we can get the footage. The mastermind might


    have already destroyed the evidence to save you from using that."


    "I thought of what you''ve said, but no matter what, we have to try." Sonia rubbed her temples.


    Daphne, who agreed with her, nodded. "Okay. I''ll go there very soon. Still, shouldn''t we tell President


    Fuller about this?"


    Smiling, Sonia stated, "Now that this has gotten so out of proportion, he will know it eventually through


    his men even without my notice. As for why he hasn''t contacted me, it should be because he''s still


    busy. So, the people by his side haven''t had the chance to inform him yet. Don''t worry, when he knows,


    he''ll call me."


    "That''s a relief." Daphne puffed her chest. "It''s only by President Fuller knowing about this that things


    can be dealt with much easier."


    "You''re right. After all, this incident concerns him as well. We still need him if we want to catch the


    culprit." Sonia opened her arms up. "Go on, then. Remember to inform me ASAP about the situation


    even if you don''t get the footage."


    "Understood, President Reed." Daphne went down with the assistant.


    With that, Sonia was the only one left in the office.


    Looking at the monitor in front of her, she became angrier as she scrolled through thements. She


    then closed the webpage, seeing how she did not have any solution to it.


    Next, she picked up her phone and called Squirrel Media again.


    Earlier when she dialed the number, it said that the line was busy.


    She guessed that a lot of people must have called Squirrel Media to validate the truth of this story,


    causing the busy line.


    So, she hoped that the call would go through this time.


    Perhaps it was the heavens that heard her prayer, the call connected this time with a man''s voice


    coming from the speaker. "Who''s this?"


    "Sonia Reed," she replied with a cold tone.


    The person on the other side fell silent. After a while, she could hear heavy and rushed breathing


    coming from the other end.


    Obviously, the person panicked upon hearing her name.


    This made Sonia sneer.


    They really are a bunch of guilty squirrels.


    Otherwise, why would this man be so afraid to hear that it''s me?


    Meanwhile, the person who answered the call was regretting and wanted to beat himself up.


    Seriously, why did I have to enter the office at this time? If I didn''t, I wouldn''t have picked the call up.


    How unlucky!


    After shouting out miserably inside, the man took a deep breath and pretended nothing happened while


    replying to Sonia, "I''m sorry, Miss. We don''t know who you are. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be hanging up


    now. I wish you a good day. Goodbye."


    He was about to hang up after saying that.


    Yet, Sonia suddenly sneered loudly. "Hang up the call and I''ll tell Toby to shut yourpany down right


    now! Every single one of you can pack your bags home by the end of the day. Try me," she warned in a


    very dominating manner.


    With the coldness and arrogance in her tone, nobody dared to doubt if she was joking. At the very


    least, the man on the phone knew that Sonia would do as she said.


    Feeling like he would be better off dead, the man had a very somber expression as he begged, "I''m so


    sorry, Miss Reed. I''m just some random secretary, so..."


    "Enough." Sonia frowned and interrupted him. "Seeing how you called me ''Miss Reed'', you obviously


    recognize who I am, so you should know why I''m calling, right?"


    The silence of the man was taken as a ''yes''.


    Gripping her phone tightly, she continued, "Since you do, why don''t you give me an exnation now?"


    "But, Miss Reed, I''m just a secretary..." The man repeated his words in the hope that this would suffice.


    Sonia, who did not believe him, smirked. "Stop telling me that you''re just some secretary. I called the


    number of your chief editor, so you have to be at least someone to be able to pick up the call. I don''t


    care if you''re the secretary or the personal assistant of the chief editor, I know you have all the tea, so


    spill it!"All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    The man was on the verge of tears.


    Why is Miss Reed so smart?


    She was not giving him any chances.


    With a scrunched up expression, the man exined, "Miss Reed, I..."


    "Enough. Just spit it out now!" Sonia bellowed. "If you don''t, then don''t me me when I realize all the


    promises I''ve mentioned earlier. Not only can I make you all jobless, I can leave a special remark on


    your resumes. Good luck on getting a new job by then. Like I said, try me all you want."


    Shuddering, the man was frightened as he profusely nodded. "I''ll spill it out. I tell you whatever you


    want to know, Miss Reed."


    As he was no fool, he knew that he could not go head-to-head with a threat looming over him.


    This was because they all knew the news online was fake, as Sonia never did cheat on Toby in the first


    ce.


    Since this was all fabricated, this meant the couple still enjoyed a solid rtionship.


    Naturally, they would be enraged to see such a mediapany spreading audacious rumors of Sonia


    cheating on Toby.


    So, Toby would target theirpany sooner orter.


    Even though the person did tell their chief editor that theirpany would be safe, they did not


    guarantee the employees of thepany would stay employed.


    Although he was only a secretary, he was still a worker there. If Toby were to go to war with the person,


    there would be sacrifices no matter what.


    This was because no matter how influential the person was, they were still not a match for Toby. The


    person might be able to ensure the job of the chief editor and thepany''s safety, but they would not


    be able to keep these employees; eventually, they would only be the coteral whether they liked it or


    not.


    If that happened, it would not be a better fate than what Sonia described as they might even find


    themselves in a more dire situation.


    Hence, if he could save himself, why not just tell the truth?


    If this caused him to be fired and sued by thepany, at least his resume would be clean, meaning


    he could just seek another job out.


    On the other hand, if he kept his lips zipped now, his future would be as good as gone.


    Since there is a silver lining, I''ll just grab onto it for now.


    Thinking of this, the man looked around before confirming that he was the only one in the office. Not


    hesitating anymore, he covered his mouth with his other hand and said in a lowered voice, "Okay, Miss


    Reed. I''ll tell you everything that you want to know."


    Sonia knew that her threat worked upon hearing the person be docile.


    As expected, Toby''s name really is useful.


    Smiling, she maintained a cold tone. "Tell me, who ordered yourpany to tail me and take those


    photos?"


    This was because she did not tell anyone about her meeting up with Brian at the hotel.


    Therefore, no outsiders would have known about her whereabouts.


    Yet, the person had urately captured the moment she and Charles entered the hotel. This proved


    that someone was constantly following her. Otherwise, they would have never gotten that shot so


    precisely.


    I actually didn''t realize that I was followed for so long!


    Pursing her lips. Sonia had a face full of disdain for the mastermind.
