Chapter 1103


    Perchance, Lore Communications perceived theizens as a fool, who would take that official


    statement as an apology to them.


    It was possible for them to have that kind of idea.


    They assumed that theizens were ordinary citizens, who admired the strong and respected the


    powerful people. Thus, theizens would take that as an apology directed at them.

    A part of theizens might think so, but unfortunately, the majority were indeed ordinary people.


    However, they did not feel so inferior to take an apology statement from the prestigiouspany as an


    apology toward them.


    All Sonia could say was that Lore Communications had taken theizens lightly by underestimating


    them.


    In fact, the destructivements were easy to deal with. The issue could have been settled if only


    Lore Communications apologized to them sincerely or mentioned them in the statement.


    In doing so, she believed that Lore Communications would be able to earn forgiveness since no one


    was silly enough to go against someone with power.


    Still, thepany did not do that as they might have forgotten about the fact that they were the


    instigator. Lte had enraged the public and stirred turmoil in the stock market, so it would not be


    wrong to say that Lore Communication used them first.


    When they were osted by bacshes, neither did they apologize nor mention theizens.


    Therefore, it was obvious that they thought lightly of theizens.


    How can the people not be angry and not attack them again? I bet they''re driven to the edge by now.


    Sonia smiled while wondering whose idea was it to release that statement. Was it the public rtions


    team or the Lore Family themselves?


    If it was the PR team, they could bid their job a sweet goodbye because nopany would want a


    troublemaker as their employees. If it was the Lore Family, they were destined to be done for.


    Great men''s sons hardly do well. I reckon the Lore Family would not be able to secure their status for


    any longer. It''s their shoring to have such a leader.


    Sonia shrugged her shoulders with a smile and backed out from Lore Communications'' page to her


    own page.


    Under hertest post, the number ofments proliferated almost over ten thousandpared to the


    time she left.


    Raising her eyebrow, she clicked on thement section to have a look of it. It was flooded with


    comments asking her to not forgive Lores.


    It seemed like they leftments on her page upon reading the infamous apology statement.


    Furthermore, there were even some of them who were worried that she might not decipher the implicit


    meaning behind that statement. So, they interpreted the content for her before tagging her in order to


    let her know about it. They were concerned that Sonia would take it as a sincere apology and forgive


    Lore Communications and Lte.


    Sonia was touched at that and giggled, prompting Toby to take a nce at her. Although he did not say


    anything, it was obvious that he was questioning why she wasughing.


    Without hiding anything, she waved her phone and exined, "It''s theizens. They''re cute."


    "Cute?" He frowned. "Have you forgotten how they criticized you?"


    "Those people are racking their brains to find a way to win thewsuit. They don''t have the guts to


    leave anyments here. So, thesements are basically from the good ones." Sonia stuck out her


    tongue.


    Then, she decided to reply to the most likedment. "Thank you for the reminder. Don''t worry. An


    empty apology doesn''t deserve to be forgiven, much less when they excuse a mistake made by an


    adult with immaturity. They should''ve sought agreement from the victim on whether to understate the


    issue first."


    Soon, people screenshotted and posted her reply, bringing it to the trending chart. After all, that reply


    from Sonia implied her attitude toward the Lore Family.


    She was not going to forgive them.


    Almost instantly, everyone rejoiced at her answer and mocked Lore Communications by leaving


    comments on their official page. Thepany''s stock price declined to rock bottom.


    The whole PR team was dumbfounded, except for their head department—Joshua, who sat in front of


    hisputer with a cup of coffee. Looking at the data shown on the monitor, he calmly drank his


    coffee. "Told you so. The apology statement mustn''t be released. If President Lore held a live


    broadcast in person to apologize to Paradigm and the public, it would''ve been for the best, but you


    wouldn''t listen. Look. They''re not holding back with their words."


    Grayson''s secretary, Jack, stood behind the head department and saw the datas as well. The stock


    price decline made him anxious.


    "What else could I do? It''s President Lore''s orders and I''m just a secretary. How could I not obey his


    orders?" Jack scratched his head in frustration.


    Joshua looked at him. "Can''t you advise him? Frankly speaking, he doesn''t have what it takes to be a


    president. He''s meh. If it wasn''t for the Fuller Group''s help, thepany could''ve announced


    bankruptcy long ago. So, do you think that his idea is feasible?"


    "I am aware that it''s ridiculous, but you know how he is. He doesn''t listen. He''s full of himself. Even if


    his strategies are wrong, he won''t listen to others and thinks that his orders are right. We have to


    execute his orders or we''ll be asking for trouble. Do you think I would have been able to dissuade him


    in this kind of situation?" Jack smiled bitterly.


    Joshua sighed. "All of the Lore Family members are scoundrels."


    "What do you mean by that?" Jack lowered his head to look at him.


    Joshua blurted out, "Miss Lore contacted the technical department to make the issue trending so that


    President Fuller wouldn''t be able to appease the online rage. Mr. Whitlock—he works in the technical


    department—knew that President Fuller was on the move to bring the issue down and tried to convince


    her to stop. Obviously, it won''t do anyone good if we offended him, but Miss Lte is the same as her


    father. She''s stubborn as a bull and just wouldn''t listen. She thought that Toby wouldn''t mind, since her


    grandfather was his tutor. Mr. Whitlock had no choice but to bear the pressure and do as he was told.


    Two hours ago, he resigned from his position. He''s afraid that it would be difficult for him to escape


    when President Fuller takes revenge."


    Jack heaved a sigh without saying anything.


    Joshua set down his cup. "It seems like I gotta think of an escape n too."


    "Are you going to resign?" Jack was shocked.


    Joshua kneaded his temples. "Yup. Look, President Fuller is genuinely livid and everyone is saying that


    he''s going to cut ties with ourpany. Otherpanies are waiting for the show to begin. Once


    President Fuller clearly states that it is true, they will join hands to take Lore Communications down.


    When the timees, it''ll be difficult for us to hunt for another job. Thus, it''s better to hand in our


    resignation letter ourselves. At least, we won''t be dragged into the fray before the war starts. Jack,


    we''ve been good friends for more than two years. I think you should give it a serious thought."


    Jack fell silent for a moment. "I''ll think about it, but I should report thetest news to President Lore for


    now. Let''s talk during dinner."


    "Sure. Go on." Joshua waved his hand.


    With his documents in hand, Jack walked out of the office and headed to the presidential office at the


    top floor. He reported theizens'' reaction to Grayson.


    Hearing that, Grayson asked in disbelief, "How did this happen?"
