A curious Sonia clicked on the notification to open her social media account. As soon as she entered her account, 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 but laugh sarcastically.
Since there were not many vehicles straight ahead, Toby took the chance to glance 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 account."
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," commented 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've come 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 should come up to the victim in person to compensate 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 the company! Which of those two alternatives appeared less sincere than releasing a succinct 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 plans 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 flashed across Sonia's eyes. "By the way, do you know what they wrote? They mentioned that Lynette 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 hilarious. She's already like what—twenty-six, twenty-seven? Yet, they call her a kid. What is she? A big baby?"
