“Yes, President Reed?” Daphne looked at her.
Sonia rubbed between her eyebrows. “Have you sent the CCTV footage of the car park to the police?”
Daphne nodded. “Even though it was delayed for a bit due to the traffic jam, it was delivered eventually.”
“That’s good to know. You can leave now.”
“Understood.” Daphne smiled, after which she turned and walked toward the door. When she arrived at the door, she didn’t even manage to open the door when someone pushed it open from outside, and in came Charles. He was in such a hurry that he bumped directly into Daphne.
“Ah!” With her center of gravity disturbed, Daphne staggered backward in her high heels and was about to fall.
Fortunately, Charles moved right in time and grabbed her wrist, saving her from the fall.
“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it. Are you okay?” Charles apologized to Daphne, embarrassed.
Daphne looked at his hand holding hers, and joy lit up in her eyes before disappearing in an instant. She shook her head. “I’m all right, President Lane.”
“Good, then.” Charles sighed in relief, then let go of her and walked toward Sonia.
Daphne gazed at his back, and the look in her eyes dulled for a moment before she lowered her head and left the room. When she closed the door, she even heard Charles saying, “Darling,
I’m here.”
Sonia rolled her eyes at him. “Yes, you are, but what’s the rush? You even ran into Daphne.”
Charles smiled bashfully. “I just wanted to see you as soon as possible.” He told her over the phone that he would meet her at the police station, but something cropped up, so he couldn’t make it. Hence, he drove all the way to her office.
“What’s the matter?” Sonia pointed opposite her, gesturing for Charles to take a seat.
Charles found a chair and sat on it. “Something good happened. Try guessing what’s happening on the Internet right now.”
Hearing that, Sonia frowned. “Did Tina say something to make things worse?” “No.” Charles hastily waved his hands. “I told you it’s something good, so it couldn’t be Tina
• » again.
Sonia’s interest was piqued as she straightened her back. “Oh? Then what is it?”
Charles raised an eyebrow and grinned at her. “Remember the netizens who cursed at you? And some business accounts and media that stood on Tina’s side and pinned the blame on you? They got what they asked for: retribution!”
“What?” Sonia’s eyes went wide. “Retribution? What retribution?”
Charles clenched his fists tightly, excitement written all over his face. “Those netizens were exposed, and all their personal information was made public. And, most importantly, everything they did in the shadows was brought to light. Now that their horrible acts were made known to everyone in the world, they probably can’t even go out in public anymore.”
“Oh?” Sonia narrowed her eyes. “What about the business accounts and the media?”
“Ah, them.” Charles snorted gleefully. “More or less the same. Those business accounts and media were chock full of selfish people, so as long as you give them enough cash, they wouldn’t care if the news they posted were real or fake or if there was a story behind it. They would do anything to attract traffic. In fact, they have a horrible track record and even got some hideous cases stemming from their posts. They had indirectly caused the deaths of many innocent people, so now every horrible thing they did was exposed on the net. The cyber police are looking into it right now.”
Sonia had to admit that Carl had really pulled out all the stops this time. He actually went and pulled down the covers all around the Internet so that the darkness behind it was exposed to the sunlight that is the public. He really caused a mess on the net this time.
Because of that, the cyber police would definitely put in the effort to capture Carl. Sonia hoped that Carl was skilled enough to escape their claws.
