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 fewments.


    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 CCTV footage 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 first


    comment 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?'' Thisment


    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?"


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    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 post—regr 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?


    Are 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 his conunent 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."
