Chapter 153 – Controlling the Pace
At this point in time the internet has no idea who started the cyber manhunt.
I had to marvel at how powerful the energy of the internet was; in just one night’s time, it was like a tsunami had erupted on the internet, that manic heat that swept through everyone who was curious.
Soon enough, Amelia’s birthplace, the school she graduated from, a couple of boyfriends she had in college, … to when she went to Medikit Inc, and then it progressed to every little move she made at Medikit Inc, was picked up for real, and there’s a tendency to dig deeper.
That’s when I meant that something was wrong!
It’s not a singular thing that happened, but the development is a little strange, not talking about Odette at all, but pointing right at Amelia, which is a little bit of a stretch.
Then there can only be one possibility. Someone is controlling the pace!
I hurriedly dialed Albert, who spoke in a naughty tone, “How do you feel?”
“Is it really you?” I asked.
“What a great opportunity this is, how can we not take advantage of it?”
“Then make it even bigger, point the finger at Medikit Inc to go and make Robert go off the deep end.” I said fiercely.
“Are you sure?” Albert got interested, “Then there’s no turning back for you!”
“OK! From the day I woke up, there was no thought of turning back and leaving anything to chance!” I said righteously, “Any results on the Steven thing I asked you to look into?”
“You mean him and the kid?” Albert asked me.
“Right! Even if you’re not sure, you can use this to get Robert and Steven in trouble, and the pictures I gave you last time, just dump them out there, with pictures, to keep Robert awake!”
“Great!” Albert praised from over there, “I’ll make my move then! You prepare your heart.”
“Well!” I commanded decisively, “No need to leave anything to chance! I don’t want to see him anymore!”
After hanging up with Albert, my palms were sweaty as I clutched my cell phone, and I walked back and forth in the same spot a few times, my heart aching.
Ten years of marriage, starting today, will be completely impossible to go back to.
It all happened faster than I expected, and in a flash, the Amelia incident doubled in hits by the thousands and reprints were incredibly high.
The man behind Amelia becomes a mystery that the people who eat it are desperate to unravel.
It was at this point that someone threw up a post confirming that Amelia’s child’s last name is Brown.
Then there was an immediate follow-up post, speculating that the man was Robert Brown of the Medikit Inc group, first as a special assistant and then as a lover, and the water was running out.
I looked at the constantly refurbished posts and grimaced, Robert, there’s no turning back for you either, I’ll make sure you get nothing.
I was hunkered down on the couch, paying full attention to what was going on online. Robert, whom I hadn’t seen all night, had suddenly returned to the house.
I instinctively looked at him sternly, perhaps because he was weak, or because my eyes were too harsh, stopping him from hurrying over.
I just stared at him coldly, I’d like to see what he’d come back for.
Unexpectedly, the next move made my jaw drop even more.
Only to see Robert fall to his knees with a ‘plop’ in front of me as I watched.
“Honey! I’m sorry, I know you saw all that stuff on the internet. But let me explain!” He came up to my heels on his knees, rather eagerly.
I still kept my cold demeanor and didn’t open my mouth, wanting to see how he was going to act.
Besides, I was pondering what I should do next! His sudden appearance disrupted my original plan.
Robert saw that I didn’t move and didn’t open my mouth, and immediately moved forward again, “Honey, you have to listen to me, it’s all a lie, you mustn’t believe it. The netizens are so irresponsible nowadays, they are slandering. As you know, Amelia is my assistant because of your commission, I trust her. But it’s limited to work, her private life, I really don’t know!”
I threw back my head abruptly and laughed, tears slipping down without warning. Listen to this, this dog man, this is taking me for an idiot!
Robert was startled and looked at my expression for only a few seconds before he reached out to hug me and I snapped and snarled, “Get out!”
His hand stopped in mid-air, “Don’t be angry, darling, watch out for your body. Don’t you do that, listen to me!”
The roar from me shouted Edith out, who was stunned and a bit overwhelmed by the scene before her.
Robert, who always wants to save face, couldn’t care less, still insisted on moving forward, and continued to say in an eager tone, “Honey, calm down! Listen to me, the current form of Medikit Inc and its danger, I suspect that someone is deliberately trying to fix us! Think about it, at this juncture, when this happened, they want to stop Medikit Inc from connecting with overseas, once we make a mistake, we will be finished. So you have to be calm, dear!”
I sneered inwardly, “You’re scared? Hmm?” I asked with a smirk, my eyes all hostile, “Robert, you still care about Medikit Inc?”
“Honey, what are you talking about, Medikit Inc is your brainchild! How can I not care!” He confessed eagerly.
Hahaha! I threw my head back and laughed, almost maniacally!
“Honey, don’t you do this! It doesn’t matter what happens to me, but nothing can happen to you or Medikit Inc! Honey, the more times like this, the more we have to be on the same page, we have to be on the same page! I …”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a crunch of ‘pop’ and a tingle in my hand.
The clamor died down instantly and the room was silent!
