Chapter 1075
This wasn't the end of the comment. The platform 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 few comments. His second
comment came soon after his first.
'Even if we met other regular clients, we would still pick this hotel. As I said, this hotel is a high-class place that
allows us the security and privacy to discuss our work-related 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 explained it to you. I hope you don't embarrass yourself again
[smile]'.
When the netizens 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 regular 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 whose comment that triggered this is probably too furious to say anything now,' one
comment said.
'Logically speaking, I should feel angry as I'm one of the low-level workers that President Lane mentioned in his
comment. But for some reason, I don't feel angry at all. If anything, I feel pretty good!' another comment 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,' the comment said in response,
'I see,' the earlier commenter replied. The person who had made the triggering comment read Charles' reply to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim and all the other netizens' 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 his comment before going offline.
The netizens were keeping an eye on him. When they saw that his comment had disappeared, they knew that the
person had been too embarrassed to stay. So the netizens 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
other netizens thought.
There was more than just one person who made such mean comments. But after seeing how the first comment
had been rebutted so harshly, many of the other commenters held themselves back. 'Hey, President Lane, how are
you planning to go against Miss Lore and Squirrel Media?' This comment surfaced under Charles' post after a while.
The netizens 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,' Charles commented.
'Ahh... This wasn't the answer we wanted!' The netizens were devastated. Are the three of them devils or what?
Why are they so hard to deal with? Even Sonia was amused at the comments. "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 the netizens, right? But I'm not fooling around with them. I'm being honest. I'll go according 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 Lynette'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?"
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—regular staff from other departments wouldn't be able to do it. So, when Lynette 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter our company 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 a laugh. "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 a laugh 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."
