Chapter 1044


    Using this chance, the mastermind must have understood her every move and sent someone to tail her


    from a long time ago.


    There might even be spies in mypany.


    On the other end of the call, the man, who did not know what Sonia was thinking, shrinked his neck


    upon hearing her question and replied softly, "Miss Reed, I''m really only a secretary, so I don''t know


    much. What I do know is a woman had our paparazzis tail you in secret in order to take any scandalous


    photos of you."


    As expected.


    Sonia peered through her eyes coldly.


    I am right. The person behind all this is a woman.


    By the look of things, this woman had nned everything for a long time.


    "When did your people start to tail me?" asked Sonia.


    Scratching his head, the secretary answered, "I''m not sure about the specific date, since it was the


    chief editor that personally contacted our paparazzi team and not through the secretaries. If I had to


    say, maybe a week ago."


    "A week ago, eh?" She snorted. "That''s longer than I thought."


    Gulping, the secretary continued, "This was because the chief editor was afraid that they wouldn''t be


    able toe up with an incriminating photo in a short timeframe, so he had them tail you from a week


    ago to capture all the photos they could."


    "Should I praise yourpany for being so far-sighted, then?" Sonia remarked sarcastically.


    The secretary smiled. "You jest, Miss Reed. This was the chief editor''s instructions. It has nothing to do


    with me. Besides, our people couldn''t find an opportunity to take the picture either, so our chief editor


    was unable to report to that woman. Due to this, the person even called the editor yesterday and ranted


    about how she wanted him to hurry up. If they couldn''t get the photos, then fabricate some, she said.


    Yet, before the chief editor could do that, the paparazzis called and said they got a photo of you


    entering a hotel with a man. You know the rest, Miss Reed."


    Sonia did not reply to him.


    After all, the motive was as clear as the sky. All the editor had to do was get a controversial photograph


    of Sonia and fulfill his duty to satisfy the mastermind. Then, the woman would order them to edit the


    photo before making up a fake article and publishing it.


    She did this all so to defame and nder me in order to make Toby break up with me.


    Too bad she didn''t calcte that Toby already knew about me and Charles meeting at the hotel


    beforehand!


    You want Toby to break up with me just like this? Dream on!


    With a cold gaze, Sonia asked, "Who is that woman?"


    The secretary shook his head. "Miss Reed, I am really just a random secretary that doesn''t know much.


    I told you all I knew just now. If I didn''t tell you the woman''s identity, that means that I really don''t know


    who she is. The reason is because from the start to the end, only our head editor has been dealing with


    that woman. I asked him out of curiosity, but he seemed to be very fearful of her and wouldn''t tell me.


    He only told me that she hails from a prominent family and that they seemed to have a bit of a rtion


    with the Fullers."


    Even though this did not reveal who the mastermind was, she still managed to glean some information


    from this.


    Biting her lips, she mumbled, "Someone who is rted to the Fullers..."


    She had deduced earlier with Daphne that since the person was not afraid of Toby, that meant that she


    should have a substantial backing.


    However, she never thought that they would be rted to the Fuller Family.


    What is their rtion though? Are they rtives? Or is it something else?


    "Yes. That''s what our chief editor said." The secretary nodded. "I even asked him before, saying that


    this would attract President Fuller''s ire by creating a fake scandal of you. Yet, he confidently told me


    that the woman would ensure the survival of ourpany. This is why our chief editor''s not afraid of


    President Fuller and published the scandal."


    "So I see. I understand now," Soniamented half-heartedly.


    This was because she had somewhat predicted all this. All the secretary did was confirm her


    spections.


    Laughing awkwardly, the secretary stated, "Miss Reed, I told you everything I know. If you want to take


    revenge, could you please let me off and just look for the chief editor? I''m just an employee after all.


    Besides, I didn''t take part in this. I only heard about it. Our chief editor is the perpetrator. I—"


    "I understand what you''re getting at." Sonia pursed her lips and replied coldly, "I will look into this. If it''s


    true that you really didn''t have a hand in this and only knew about the proceedings, I will not do


    anything to you. However, if you lied, I apologize for what I have to do."


    "Yes, yes, yes. Please, Miss Reed. Go ahead and investigate it. If you need help, you can contact me


    anytime." The secretary patted himself on the chest happily.


    Even through the phone, Sonia could hear him breathing a sigh of relief.


    For now, it looks like this secretary is innocent.


    Hence, Sonia decided to be nicer. "I will. Send me your contactter. Also, feel out your chief editor and


    see if you can figure out the woman''s identity. Don''t worry, if you do as I say, even if Squirrel Media


    goes under, I can arrange another job for you. How does working at the Fuller Group sound?"


    Her voice had a hint of enticement in it.


    After hearing that he might be able to work at Fuller Group, the secretary''s eyes brightened as he


    quickly nodded. "Rest assured, Miss Reed. You can leave this to me. I will make sure to help you figure


    out the person''s identity! It''s as good as done!"


    "I''m entrusting it to you, then." Sonia smiled while saying this and ended the call.


    Leaning against the chair, she started to brainstorm.


    She was thinking which family was rted to the Fullers, who was also an influential family in their own


    right.


    Yet, after some careful pondering, she could not rte any family to the Fullers.


    This made her somewhat suspicious if the chief editor had lied to his secretary.


    It''s either that or the woman has lied to the chief editor.


    Regardless, I will find that woman!


    On the other side, the secretary ced the phone down and wiped his sweat while breathing out.


    Finally, he could somewhat rx.


    My word. I thought that Miss Reed was someone that had a gentle and a bit of a weak personality.


    I never thought that she would be so intense.


    The call had left him out of breath.


    Although Sonia spoke in a calm and collected manner throughout the conversation, it was still very


    pressuring for him.


    This proves just how capable President Fuller''s woman is.


    "Noah." Just as the secretary was deep in thought, the door to the office opened as a short but rotund


    middle aged man walked in.


    About five feet two in height, not only did he sport a big belly, he also had a big head with ears. The fat


    on his face had squished his eyes into a line while he only had a few hairs on his head that was still


    holding on for dear life.

    Even when he looked like that, the person still wore a rtively expensive suit. It really was a sight to


    behold, in a negative way, of course.


    This person was the chief editor of Squirrel Media. His name was Mitch Adams.


    The person he was calling out to was the secretary that had just got off the phone with Sonia. Turning


    around in a hurry, he threw his thoughts aside and bowed down respectfully. "Hello, Mr Adams."


    "Hm. Brew me a cup of coffee, yeah?" pping his beer belly, Mitch sat down behind his desk and


    looked at Noah. "I told you to get a document. What were you doing, spending an eternity in my


    office?"
