Chapter 1102
A curious Sonia clicked on the notification to open her social media ount. As soon as she entered
her ount, she could see the user that had mentioned her.
Lore Communications? Interesting.
The corner of her lips curved upward, for she wished to know why the Lore Communications official
mentioned her.
She tapped on the tag section at which she could read the posted contents by Lore Communications
immediately. After perusing the text, she could not help butugh sarcastically.
Since there were not many vehicles straight ahead, Toby took the chance to nce at her. "What''s so
funny?"
She lifted her head. "Know what? The Lore Family just tagged me."
"They tagged you?" His brows knitted.
She showed her phone screen to him. "Yeah. With their official ount."
Possessing great dynamic visual acuity, he was able to read the content clearly although she swayed
the phone before him for a moment. His expression darkened. "Is this their apology?"
Honestly, he was dissatisfied because he could not discern a tinge of sincerity throughout the text.
Sonia retracted her phone to read it again before sniggering, "Yup. It is an apology statement. What do
you think?"

"It''s just for show,"mented Toby sternly without saving his tutor''s face.
She was content with that as she smiled. "True. If they genuinely wish to apologize after realizing their
mistake, they could''vee to us in person first thing after I exposed them. However, they did nothing
until now. People online are attacking Lore Communications and their stock price is dropping. That''s
why they thought of apologizing. Funny thing is that they neither met us personally nor released a
press conference for an apology. They chose to release a simple statement and mentioned our names.
It''s my first time seeing this kind of apology."
Sonia had a point. If one was genuinely sorry for their actions, they shoulde up to the victim in
person topensate for their mistake in order to seek forgiveness.
Otherwise, they could hold a press conference and apologize in front of billions of audiences. At least
the public was aware that they could put down their pride to express their regrets.
That would impress the audience, who would take it as their sincerity and deem them as a decent
company.
Consequently, they could restore their ruined reputation and save thepany! Which of those two
alternatives appeared less sincere than releasing a sinct statement online? Anyone would agree
that any of those two would be better.
Yet, the Lore Family chose such a method rather than executing the other two ns to express their
apology.
They''re basically telling everyone that they''re not feeling sorry for their actions. It would''ve been better
for them to stay silent.
A cold glint shed across Sonia''s eyes. "By the way, do you know what they wrote? They mentioned
that Lte acted like that because of immaturity. And what kind of people are immature? Kids. Little
kids! They''re basically telling the world that she behaved that way because she''s still a kid, hence the
mistake. How hrious. She''s already like what—twenty-six, twenty-seven? Yet, they call her a kid.
What is she? A big baby?"
Toby frowned while hearing her mockery. Not that she said it wrong, but he was displeased by the Lore
Family''s actions.
As Sonia had mentioned, he could tell what they were thinking. Clearly, they thought immaturity could
understate matters, but it was utterly preposterous.
"Just ignore them and pretend that we haven''t seen their apology," suggested Toby sternly as he drove
the car.
Sonia tapped on her phone. "Don''t worry about that. I think the same way too. I haven''t nned on
entertaining them since the beginning. Besides, there''s a lot of smart people in this world. We''re not the
only ones who can read between the lines. Theizens will be able to do the same. Look. Someone''s
on the same boat as us."
She showed the screen to him for a short while. "Many of them can see them through. They''re flooding
thement section with taunts."
His gaze swept across it. "Lore Communications has taken the public as fools. They have iting."
"True." She withdrew her hand to look at theizens attacking Lore Communication. Her smile did not
fade for one second.
Toby hit bullseye; Lore Communication''s statement had basically turned the public as fools by
assuming that no one could see through the true meanings behind the message.
However, they were the ones who made a fool of themselves since they had tantly shown their true
color. As long as one was not an idiot, people could see the ugly truth at one nce—the Lore Family
was not feeling sorry for one bit.
Ever since the beginning, Lte and Squirrel Media edited the pictures and released misleading
articles to make the public believe that Sonia had cheated on Toby. Due to the way society was
constructed to view women, Sonia was bombarded with shades as a result of that.
Whenever men cheated on their partners, the ''magnanimity'' onlookers would deem it as the same
mistake that every single man would make. Ridiculous!
On the other side of the coin, if the cheater was a woman, everyone would reproach her bybeling her
as a sinner of enormity. Everyone would tell her to go to hell in rage.
That was why a lot of people hurled criticisms and shades at Sonia when the scandal broke out. They
presumed that she had done such things without waiting for the person involved to release their side of
the story.
Aside from the inherent hate toward women, Lte and Squirrel Media did their part by throwing
everyone off the scent too.
After Sonia exposed their evil scheme, theizens were enraged to find out that they were being
used, hence the attack against Lore Communications and Squirrel Media.
Due to the stock market crash, Lore Communications reckoned that they could not stay still and do
nothing anymore. That was why they released a hollow official statement as a means to appease the
public''s wrath and stabilize the stock price.
Still, Sonia did not expect them to be this stupid.
If they intended to stave off the heat and save thepany, they could have added an apology
directed to the public. Yet, they did not, as only Sonia and Toby were mentioned.
Clearly, Lore Communications took the public lightly and even looked down upon them. Perceiving the
people as ordinary beings, the superiorpany did not mention a word regarding the public at all.
It was hrious to see how they ignored the public when they actually intended to rebound the stock
price. Their thought of apologizing to Sonia and Toby was the same as apologizing to everyone.
How should one think of them aside from being idiotic?
