Chapter 291

It was lunchtime, and the area around First Media's office was bustling with activity. Some passersby stopped to take photos with their phones, and snippets of conversation could be heard all around."How could she treat her parents like that? She's heartless!""She's the editor-in-chief of First Media. With such a cold-hearted boss, how can they produce any good content?""She just became editor-in-chief and already disowns her own parents. If her career advances further, will she look down on everyone?""You don't know anything. They're not my parents!" Joey tried to explain."Sweetie, don't worry. We'll leave right now. We won't embarrass you anymore," Paul said, helping Karen up from the ground, and they hurriedly left."Her parents are so considerate, how can she be so cold-blooded!""Her parents look like such decent folk. How did they raise such an ungrateful child?""Having a daughter like that, it's like they wasted all those years!"After Paul and Karen left, the onl

"Parents cannot be chosen, it is simply fate! Why should I feel guilty?" Joey's eyes flickered with unease."If you're not guilty, then why haven't you given them Penelope's address?""Because..." Joey gripped the steering wheel. "She has already left Johnsonville. I do not know where she has gone.""I knew you were not that kind-hearted."Didn't she claim that her vast network could find Penelope in any city?I wanted to throw some sarcastic remarks her way, but upon seeing her start the car, I simply said, "From what I know about them, if they cannot find Penelope, they will pester you non-stop. Your days will not be easy.""They will bother you too, their blood relative! Let us see how you handle it!""Just take care of yourself. My affairs are none of your concern."The car started moving slowly. I took a step back, standing straight. "If their harassment becomes too much and you cannot handle it, you can come to me.""You want me to beg you for a solution? After all the t

Joey always acted arrogant when she was around me. Even when she needed something from me, she consistently refused to speak softly. The more she behaved this way, the less I wanted to deal with her. It wasn't me who was desperate, it was her. If she wanted to wait, I would wait with her.Our cars were parked at the small entrance, blocking other residents from entering the complex. The entrance soon became congested, with some people honking and others stepping out of their cars to see what was happening. The security guard also rushed over to maintain order.Joey called out to the guard, "It's my fault for parking in the wrong spot and causing trouble. Can you help me back the car out?"Joey's attitude changed in an instant. Just a moment ago, she was glaring at me, but now she was suddenly gentle and polite. I looked around and noticed that Luke's car was parked nearby, and I understood.Luke's car windows were closed, so I couldn't see his expression. Once Joey moved her car, I

"You're the chief editor of a magazine. You can use your resources to expose how my uncle and aunt mistreated and exploited Penelope over the years," I suggested."There are many families with internal conflicts and abusive dynamics. People just need to work harder to overcome their circumstances. I don't see anything newsworthy in this, and it doesn't help my situation at all," Joey responded dismissively."Escaping an abusive family isn't as easy as you think," I countered. For some people, their family is a nightmare. "You called my uncle and aunt to Johnsonville to trap Penelope, but it backfired and caused you trouble. Nowadays, people like to read stories that expose injustice and provide relief. If you write about the awful things my uncle and aunt have done from your perspective, readers will be interested.""You want me to portray myself as the villain in this story?" Joey asked skeptically.Given her past actions, she did fit the role of a typical antagonist."People are

After the video was uploaded online, another wave of internet trolls began attacking Joey, making the comments even more vicious. Joey's personal accounts were flooded, and she had to disable comments. Even the magazine's social media account suffered, with people demanding her immediate dismissal and threatening to boycott all First Media publications if their demands weren't met.Joey must be feeling extremely stressed right now. After my evening routine, I checked the comments and prepared to go to bed when Joey called."Send me the video," Joey said bluntly."Give me your email, and I'll send it over after we hang up," I replied.Joey's arrogance was unmistakable, but I didn't refuse her request."You had this video ready, knowing I'd come back to you?" she asked, her tone laced with anger."This was prepared after a conversation with Penelope. I thought it might be useful someday to expose the truth. Now seems like the perfect time," I explained honestly."You're not afraid

"You're just stating the facts. Don't let online trolls get to you. Focus on finding a job and living well."Whenever I spoke with Penelope, it felt like she was surrounded by people with sad stories, hiding away in her own world to heal her wounds. I wanted to rescue her from that world, but I was afraid that my attempts might have unintended consequences. So, the best I could do was to offer support without disrupting her life too much.Joey worked swiftly, and the newspaper featuring Penelope's story was published the following day. The article cleverly disguised Penelope's real name and was divided into three parts: beginning, middle, and end.Joey was better at evoking emotions than I was. She took the material I provided and added dramatic flair to make Penelope's story even more heart-wrenching. For example, she described how Penelope was left alone at home without warm clothing in the midst of winter while her aunt and uncle indulged in gambling. Penelope shivered as she wen

"Crushing someone using public opinion seems to be a tactic you're familiar with.""You're mistaken. This time, I'm targeting two people. This is the kind of strategy media people like you excel at. You've been the editor of First Media for years, so you should know what to do next."Joey appeared intelligent, but perhaps she couldn't bring herself to tarnish her own image. Once she took this step, she wouldn't let me manipulate her. Something didn't make sense."Do you think I can decide how to handle this?"Joey said with clenched teeth before hanging up. Was there a hidden meaning in her words? I pondered for a while but couldn't figure it out. I had work to do and soon forgot about it.Joey acted swiftly. About ten minutes after our call, she uploaded her video online. Being a media professional, she knew how to make her video go viral. Within an hour, the video had amassed over a million views and continued to gain momentum.In the video, Joey admitted that she had attempted

Stephen, a highly accomplished lawyer at a prestigious firm, would undoubtedly be the best choice to maximize Penelope's benefits. However, he is busy and expensive, and I lack the influence to ask for his help on Penelope's behalf."You have a busy schedule. Let me handle the lawyer situation," I assured her."Okay.""Jen..." Penelope hesitated."If there's something you need to say, go ahead. Don't hold back."Penelope was usually respectful of boundaries, but her hesitation made me worry that she might be facing another difficulty that she didn't want to burden me with."Are you Mr. Walker's assistant?""You already knew that. Why are you asking now?" I was puzzled."Your boss seems really great. He's good-looking, straightforward, and very successful.""Yes, he is."Although his attitude towards the person he likes is quite perplexing!Penelope's hesitant praise of Luke made me suspect that she might have a crush on him. She witnessed Joey's interview with Luke, so she s

"Is he on another business trip, or is he sick?" Luke furrowed his brow in concern."He mentioned that product quality has been inconsistent lately and that he needs to inspect the workshop. Quality control is crucial."Today's meeting was centered around the development of Hanque's new car, and it was mainly attended by Hanque executives. Initially, the meeting was scheduled to take place at Hanque, but Neil's attitude had irritated Luke, leading to a change of venue to JL Capital.Luke instructed, "Get Neil Thornton on Zoom.""Yes, Mr. Walker."Felfast Motors has emerged as a major player in the smart car industry, experiencing rapid growth in recent years.

Felfast's new car received high praise from famous racers who detailed its impressive performance. Even before the launch event concluded, orders for the vehicle started pouring in. Felfast took the initiative to update the sales data in real-time online for easy tracking. While some orders might have come from supportive friends, the extensive publicity and impressive performance of the car indicated that sales would likely be strong.Mr. Henderson, the marketing manager who had previously spoken dismissively about the car, now had a flushed face and lowered his head in embarrassment. Luke's gaze swept over him, causing him to bow even lower in shame."Mr. Dawson, what do you think are the strengths of this vehicle?" Luke leaned back in his chair, appearing slightly more relaxed than before.Mr. Dawson, the head of sales, noticed this and ventured, "I don't see anything special about this car. If our R&D team works a bit harder, we can definitely produce a superior model. Our previ
