Chapter 210
Kirk didn’t need Charles to finish speaking. He turned on his tablet, and a push notification about Sarah’s accusation against Caroline appeared on the big screen.
It was a video. It showed Sarah, who hadn’t dressed up and looked haggard. She cried as soon as she started talking.
“I know we shouldn’t air our family’s dirty laundry in public, but we really don’t have a choice. Caroline has blocked us everywhere, so we can only communicate like this. I’m sorry for using the public’s resources like this.”
Sarah wiped her tears away and looked straight at the camera. As if she were looking at Caroline, she put on a loving expression.
She said, “Carrie, I know you’re listening. You’re already a married adult, so I don’t want to keep pampering you. It would only do you more harm. You’ve never contributed to the family your entire life, but it’s okay. As your mother, I should be supporting and providing for you.”
She paused briefly before continuing. “But how can you be so cruel to leave your father and me alone after you got married? We’re still young, so we can still fend for ourselves. But we need you to support us when we’re old!”
The sound of Sarah’s tearful accusations filled Kirk’s office.
Charles felt uncomfortable just listening to this. Life was too harsh on Caroline. Her parents were simply monsters. They clearly knew why she had cut them out of her life.
Kirk narrowed his eyes, and the veins on his arms throbbed as he clenched his fists.
He looked through the comments. Most expressed pity towards Dan and Sarah or cursed Caroline for being a cruel and ungrateful daughter.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?” Kirk asked, glaring at Charles. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Trembling in fear, Charles explained. “Sir, although this headline about the madam is second on the trending list, it’s nothing compared to
yours.
“You’ve attracted almost 90% of the public’s attention. I thought the most important thing right now was to deal with the public’s opinion about your news, so I didn’t inform you about her…”
Kirk lightly tapped on the table with his pen. He asked, “Did you say that the news about me attracted most of the public’s attention?”
“That’s right, even before we did any damage control.”
“In other words, if I release another big story to the public, I can take the heat off of Caroline?”
Charles‘ heart skipped a beat. He uncertainly asked, “Sir, what are you planning to do?”
“Don’t remove the trending searches and let this plece of news blow up even more. Also, invite that woman to see me tonight and ask her to dress up nicely,” Kirk ordered.
Charles asked worriedly, “But if you do that, it will increase the risk of your exposure to the public. This will have a certain impact on expanding your business in Easton.” 1
Kirk’s expression was sullen, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. “Just do as I say.”
Charles had no choice but to obey. “Yes, sir.”
Meanwhile, on set, the entire crew surrounded Daphne.
“This glass of water is too hot. I want it warm! And these grapes aren’t fresh! Get new ones! Also, you! You’re the female lead, aren’t you? You’re a horrible actress! Get out of here if you can’t act!” Daphne barked.
The crowd remained silent, not daring to talk against Daphne. After linding out that she was the wife of Eddy’s second uncle, no one in the crew dared to disrespect her.
They didn’t expect a rich man’s wife to be right under their noses.
Eddy’s second uncle owned the largest company in Sarcozla. As his wife, Daphne could bring everyone in Easton to their knees, and no
