“Uh…” Sheila froze for a moment, and then realized that things were exactly as she said.
She rubbed the tip of her nose awkwardly and said, “Even if you did force her to apologize, it was her fault in the first place. And if you hadn’t forced her, she wouldn’t have apologized at all. So it’s not wrong for you to force her to do that. But she’s acting like you’re the bad guy here, which is really despicable.”
Amber laughed sarcastically, “There’s nothing you can do about it. Morons like this one will never think that they are wrong. In their view, the wrong one was never themselves.”
Makenna was just like her.
She wondered where exactly Makenna was hiding now.
Elias said that he had poisoned Makenna twice with the venom extracted from iron trees, the kind of venom that could make people suffer from one of the most painful terminal diseases, that was, ALS.
Although it was unlikely that Makenna would get ALS directly, her immune system was already damaged by the venom and her movements would begin to be slow and stiff.
So she and Jared had been looking for doctors around the world who specialized in treating ALS in order to search for Makenna. But after searching for a long time, they found that those doctors had not seen anyone that might be Makenna, nor had these doctors been asked to see anyone else in private.
So, judging from that, Makenna’s body had not yet begun to become stiff. After all, each person’s physique would be different, Elias also couldn’t guarantee that there would definitely be something wrong with Makenna’s body, and the only sure thing was that there was a higher probability of problems.
Secondly, it was possible that Makenna’s physical conditions did have problems, but in order not to be found, she deliberately did not seek medical attention, allowing her body to become stiff.
After all, Makenna was a ruthless person to start with. She was cruel to others and to herself.
Amber took a deep breath and stopped thinking about Makenna for a while. Otherwise, the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became.
“What’s the situation of social media right now?” Amber asked as she moved her neck a bit.
Sheila replied, “According to your instructions, the PR department has been working since the beginning. Although there was some bad speculation about you on the internet due to Alice’s playing victim, it was not a big problem. The PR department has basically kept the negative news down and there’s nothing too big. On the contrary, some media have been contacting me to ask about the specific reason for Alice’s apology, which I didn’t answer.”
“That’s right. No matter who asks that, tell them we have no comment.” Amber waved her hand.
Sheila nodded, “I know. But Alice is playing victim online to mislead everyone. Miss Reed, do you want to…”
“No,” Amber pursed her lips, “I understand what you mean. But don’t give attention to people like that. The more attention you give her, the more she’ll get thrilled and end up doing something instead to prove that we’ve bullied her, which would cause greater damage. Just ignore her. You won’t see her again anyway so there’s no need to deal with her.”
Since she put it like that, Sheila had no choice but to give up. She said, “Okay, I get it.”
Amber said, “Alright then, I gotta hang up now. I’ll be at Goldstone Co. this afternoon.”
“Okay, Miss Reed,” Sheila nodded.
Amber put the phone down from her ear and checked the time.
It was twenty minutes past ten.
She hadn’t been asleep for that long.
She remembered that she was fast asleep last night when she faintly saw the break of dawn outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
It must have been after five o’clock at that time.
So, she had only slept for five or six hours, which was indeed not that long.
But this was only the case for her as a late sleeper.
For someone who usually went to bed before 12 o’clock, she did get up too late.
She scrolled down the screen of her phone and realized that there was another message from Jared. She checked the time it was sent and found out it was actually after 7:00 am.
So, he had gotten up that early and left so soon.
