"No pressure." Avery leaned forward slightly. "If you want to find Charlotte, then go. If you want to accompany Rick, then stay. In any case, there's nothing I can do to you now. It's impossible for me to poison your cake."
"I'd better stay," Kendall said as he grabbed Rick's sleeve. Her intention was obvious, she was afraid that Avery would poison her.
Avery laughed out loud. He leaned back and stretched his legs, his gaze fixed on the clock hanging on the wall. "It has been a total of 18 hours since the email was sent. If I were Christopher, I would definitely be monitoring the site traffic. Unless he is a fool, he should know by now that Charlotte didn't log into the website. His next step would be to get in touch with her again."
"Why don't you deactivate Charlotte's account first?" Rick suggested. "Forward all the information to you and me. Let's help her deal with official matters first."
"Well, what if she finds out and sues us?" Avery frowned. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Charlotte, but if he didn't properly explain this matter, it would shatter their trust and friendship. It would be unusual if Charlotte didn't lose her temper with him.
Rick frowned. He didn't give it much thought. He just instinctively wanted to protect Charlotte and hide this matter from her and prevent her from being harassed by Christopher.
"Why don't you tell You- Know- Who?" Kendall definitely didn't like Shane if she chose not to utter his name. She felt more comfortable saying "You-Know-Who" than using his given name.
"It would be more bothersome if he knew," Avery answered and paused. "There are only two ways Shane would deal with this. First, he would track Christopher down. If Christopher had anticipated this, it would be trouble for Shane. Second, he would hold Charlotte captive, or have someone tail
her. That would be very unfortunate because his relationship with Charlotte would be over. His approach has always been precise but unscrupulous."
"Hey, didn't you say that Charlotte was going to deal with Cassius? Can't we tell her to handle that while you help her with the office matters? This way, you could get her to hand over the log- in information for her email account."
"Kendall, if I told you that you can't eat anymore because starting tomorrow, I'm in charge of cooking. What will you do?" Avery retorted.
Kendall's mouth twitched and she acknowledged, "Alright, I know that was illogical."
"I didn't expect you to own up to your absurdity. That's good." Avery nodded with satisfaction and then continued seriously, "At present, the possibility of blocking her from accessing her email account is not looking good, but I can try it. I could merge her account with mine and sieve through her emails. But I'll need her consent." It was difficult to access her account directly.
However, Rick didn't think so. He countered, "Let's think about it. If we told her that it's to prevent NSFW websites from sending her more emails, wouldn't this excuse be easier for her to accept?"
"That's reasonable." Avery thought while frowning. "But do you think she would be suspicious if we went to such lengths to stop an NSFW website?"
"We'll need to coordinate."
Woohoo!
In his heart, Avery was looking forward to hatching a plot with Rick.
A moment later, Charlotte sent a message to Avery. He immediately stood up and said, "I'll bring her over."
Rick nodded, while Kendall was a little nervous. Every time she saw Charlotte, she would be very tense. She was not afraid of Charlotte, just a little uneasy.
Avery returned with Charlotte and Rick slid a cup of coffee to her. "I ordered your favorite cup of coffee. Have a taste. If it's not good, Avery will have to close up shop."
Charlotte laughed. "I was just thirsty after having cake. They were really good this time." Charlotte picked up her cup and took a sip. She raised her eyebrows. "It's good. I like it."
"I'm relieved." Rick picked up his cup and casually remarked, "I just heard from Avery that you were targeted by an NSFW website?"
"That's right, I don't know who leaked my account," Charlotte grumbled as she took a seat. "If I ever receive such an email again, I definitely wouldn't dare open it."
"Avery, you have a quick fix, don't you?" Rick asked Avery who was still standing by the door.
Avery smiled and closed the door. "Of course there is. But you may not like it."
"When have we beat around the bush? Rick knew that I need your help."
"I'll merge your account with mine for a while. I'll help you filter out any untoward news," Avery said. "When I find out who leaked your email information, I'll be able to block the other party."
"It's so complicated, but it's fine as long as you say so." Charlotte handed the phone over to Avery. "Just like before, I'll leave it all to you."
It was much simpler than he had imagined.
Just as Avery took the phone and began to fiddle with it, Rick mentioned Cassius. Charlotte was at a loss, but when she heard that he had a plan, she was all ears.
It was not easy to fight against a team backed by companies in the entertainment industry. It was almost as difficult as bringing down the Stevens Family. So, they needed a very solid ploy.
Avery had a preliminary plan, but only the bare bones. That was the reason why he wanted Rick to join the team.
"My idea is actually very simple. Well ruin whatever they do," Rick said as he leaned forward. "We should all have the capabilities to do so."
"How are we going to do it?" Charlotte only cared about that.
"Avery could stop their information flow. As long as they release a message, they will be blacked out."
"It's simple.”
"I can do it on the e-commerce side. I'll leave the rest to you and Shane. If you don't understand this, I'll give Shane a list and let him handle it."
Should I let Shane do that?
Charlotte had initially wanted to take care of it on her own. There was no need to trouble Shane. After thinking about it carefully, why should she do them a favor?
Sure enough, it was better to leave this to Shane.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell him about it."
"If Shane doesn't have time, or if you want to solve this problem yourself, there's another way," Rick said.
"What is it?"
"There is someone in Airline Union who has been looking for investment opportunities. He doesn't have other skills, but he is particularly good at spying, especially in the film and television business. His name is Luciano."
Airline Union.
If it wasn't for Rick mentioning it, Charlotte would have forgotten about this organization. Because of the incident with Shane, the people in Airline Union were completely one-sided. It was a pill she couldn't swallow, and Shane wouldn't just stand idly by. Thus, they had dealt with those people, and Airline Union was in tatters now.
Only a few people were left struggling, Elaine and Christopher included.
"Will he accept our invitation?" Charlotte was unsure.
