Discovering the Conspiracy
On the other end of the phone was Daphne, who held the mouse and clicked twice before she saw all
the numerous photos on the computer screen. Finally, she replied with a serious expression,
“Chairman Reed, I have already checked the overall renovation of the factory, and I feel that it’s pretty
good so far. However, there are a few places which still need to be repaired a little, but it is not a big
problem. If it needs to be repaired, it will not take much time. Our factory has officially stationed
employees there and the date of opening the assembly line is on the fifth of next month, so there will be
no delay regarding that.”
Hearing this, Sonia nodded with satisfaction. “That’s good. You can let me know what needs to be
repaired.”
“I can’t clearly describe it over the phone. I’ll send the photos directly to your phone,” Daphne
suggested.
Sonia agreed. “Of course that would be best.”
“Okay, I’ll send it to you first.” A smiling Daphne dragged all the photos on the computer into a folder
before zipping them to send them to Sonia.
As Sonia’s phone vibrated, Sonia pulled it away from her ear to place the call in the background as she
started to receive the said photos.
The folder was gigantic, so it took a long time for her to receive it. All in all, the process took at least
two or three minutes.
Taking advantage of the time, Sonia instructed Daphne, “By the way, there may be someone live
streaming to apologize to me in the coming two days. You should keep an eye on the news on the
Internet. If there is too much news on the Internet, ask the public relations department to handle it over
there. They need to take control and remove malicious comments toward the person.”
Since Anya would not explain the reason for her apology, netizens would not be attacking her too
much. However, the apology would make everyone curious, which would result in their definite
speculation on the reason behind the apology.
Netizens were not all fools, so there would always be someone who would think too much about it.
After all, it was a beautiful woman apologizing to another woman, so everyone would assume it was
because of a love relationship. Hence, those who guessed this would definitely say some malicious
things.
Once many started to comment, it would give rise to the online trend and the rest of the netizens who
were unaware of the truth would begin to believe the rumors and agree with it. In the end, things could
still escalate into cyberbullying. In order to prevent that from happening, Sonia could only warn Daphne
in advance.
Daphne was dumbfounded when she heard Sonia’s words and obviously didn’t understand what Sonia
meant.
“Chairman, will someone apologize to you? What is going on?” Daphne asked in confusion.
Sonia didn’t beat around the bush and after snorting, she told Daphne what had happened when she
met Anya last night and today.
After listening to this, Daphne couldn’t help but be taken aback. “Is it because of that? That woman
really doesn’t know what’s good for her. President Fuller would rather take risks on his own in order not
to run into her last night, but what did she do? She is actually interested in President Fuller and even
provoked you? Moreover, she kept blocking his way? This… This is on a whole different level of
shamelessness!”
Although she had never seen Anya, it didn’t stop her from disliking Anya. Chairman Reed was right in
scolding her!
In fact, Daphne still felt that the scolding wasn’t strong enough. Why didn’t she scold the woman until
the woman cried or felt humiliated? What a pity!
It was with regret that she sighed.
When Sonia heard Daphne’s indignant tone, her heart felt warm before she said with amusement, “It’s
the first time that I’ve seen a pretentious woman like that. She almost made me sick.”
“Fortunately, President Fuller is a good man and won’t be easily distracted by these women,” Daphne
commented with relief.
Sonia smiled again and noted, “If he can easily be fooled by them, then he is not Toby Fuller. He will
not be worthy of managing the Fuller Group and being the head of the Fuller Family. Not to mention,
he’ll be even less worthy of my love.”
Daphne repeatedly nodded. “That’s why I said that he is a good man unlike his peers. Many men like
this kind of woman; they can’t tell the difference between the good from the bad at all. They just feel
that these pretentious women are so soft, weak, and pitiful that it arouses their inner desire to protect
these women. In short, it is simply annoying.”
“That’s right,” Sonia agreed.
“Chairman, since Anya wants to rob you of President Fuller, why do you have to handle the comments
on the Internet for her? If it were me, I would allow her to be criticized by thousands of people.” Daphne
frowned as she couldn’t understand Sonia’s thoughts.
When Sonia heard Daphne’s comments, her smile faded. “I also hope that she will be criticized, but
before that, we have to be sure that she is psychologically and mentally strong enough to ignore those
malicious comments on the Internet. However, none of us know whether she is strong enough or not.
Hence, I won’t dare to take the risk. In case she is not mentally strong enough and takes extreme
actions after reading the terrible online comments, it will be me who ends up being responsible.”
Daphne fell silent.
Indeed, the Internet was a murderous weapon. If used improperly, it was indeed effortless to cost
people’s lives.
By then, Sonia would become the murderer, even though she didn’t directly cause the action.
So, the online comments needed to be handled well.
Thinking of this, Daphne pushed her black-rimmed glasses and replied, “I understand now. I will keep
an eye on the Internet and I will also instruct the public relations department to handle this.”
“Alright.” Sonia nodded.
When the call was over, she kept her phone away, took another sip of the black tea, then set her gaze
on the untouched piece of cake.
It was a strawberry red velvet mousse cake that was topped with a large, fresh, and ginormous
strawberry that was simply irresistible. Under the strawberry, there was a layer of scattered red velvet
while underneath was a white cream mousse followed by the next layer of fruit jam…
All in all, it looked extremely appetizing.
Sonia couldn’t help swallowing her saliva before she picked up the silver fork. She had always loved
desserts; she especially had no resistance toward desserts that looked as good as it tasted.
Sitting on the sofa, she happily ate the cake. When she tasted her favorite jam, she couldn’t help but
squint in delight. The expression on her face was beyond beautiful.
After eating the cake, Sonia went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth. When she finished rinsing and
was about to head out, she suddenly heard footsteps in the office. Has Toby come back from the
meeting?
Now that her face was filled with joy, she placed her hand on the door handle of the bathroom, ready to
open the door and head out.
However, just as she turned the door handle, a voice came from outside. “Don’t worry, he is in a
meeting right now and there is no one in the office, so he won’t find out.”
This is not Toby’s voice! Sonia stopped her movements immediately as the expression on her face
became a little ugly. Toby said that this meeting will last a few hours, so it’s impossible for him to return
at this time.
She originally thought that he was back because he was worried that she was all alone in the office, so
she was about to leave the bathroom.
What she didn’t expect was that it was not Toby who came back, but a sneaky thief had entered!
From what the man just said, it can be deduced that this person deliberately sneaked in while Toby was
in a meeting, thinking that there was no one here to witness him doing something bad.
Sonia also didn’t expect that she would discover a conspiracy for Toby when she came here today.
This is really…
She chuckled as she gently turned the doorknob. After opening the door, she took out her phone and
started recording.
Fortunately, this person was not smart enough. He probably thought that there was no one in the office
and Toby would not be able to come back at this time, so he did not even lower his voice. If Sonia could
hear him clearly from the bathroom, the recording would be naturally clear as well.
The person outside the door was probably rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Then, she heard
the sound of him pulling a drawer open.
Seemingly not stumbling upon what he was looking for, the man angrily slammed the drawer shut and
cursed, “Mr. Lore, Toby is too cunning! I rummaged through his desk and couldn’t find the documents!”
