âOkay, let me take care of the rest. Just be a little patient during this time and temporarily stop going to work. Stop reading those opinions online too.â
Charles walked toward her as he gently caressed her abdomen.
Sophia knew how horrible cyberbullying could be. There were times when it even extended to reality.
She nodded in agreement. âIâll apply for leave from the chief financial officer.â
After a thought, she asked, âAre you planning to reveal Leahâs true intentions when the public opinions reach a climax?â
Charles did not hide this from her. âYes.â
His eyes were cool. The fastest way to destroy someone was to make them fall from heaven to hell!
The phone suddenly rang at this moment.
Sophia thought the call was from Lisa again. She held up the phone and prepared to block the number when she realized the call was from her brother.
She picked up the call.
âSoph, Iâve applied for leave on your behalf from Miss Leadman. Donât come to work for these few days!
âOh, also, stop going online these few days too. Ignore those dumb people on the internet! Just because everyone owns a keyboard, they think they have control over the world!â
Sterling spoke really quickly with the speed of a machine gun. His voice sounded hoarse and was laced with rage and frustration.
Sophia was about to say something when she heard Nicole talking on the other end. The phone was passed to Nicole.
âSoph, is Mr. Harris next to you?â Nicole asked carefully.
Sophia answered, âYes.â
âYou didnât turn on the speaker, did you?â Nicole asked again.
Sophia thought something strange was going on with Nicole tonight, but she answered anyway, âNo.â
âI found something on Momâs phone, itâs... Itâs not convenient to talk on the phone. Just say that itâs boring to be at home these few days and youâd like to watch a new drama thatâs out now. Donât let Mr. Harris get a hold of your phone,â said Nicole.
She paused and later added. âDonât tell Mr. Harris what Iâm about to tell you.â
There was an unexplainable strange feeling within Sophia. What did Nicole find in Momâs phone that she was specially instructing Sophia not to tell Charles?
Sophia was very curious but felt unsettled about it. In the end, she agreed to Nicoleâs request.
âThose people online have terrible words to say. Donât go surfing the internet or read the news. Stay away from the office temporarily and rest well at home. Take care of your baby.â Nicole advised her some more before hanging up.
Sophia looked down at the black screen of the phone. She was gripping hard on it while her right eye twitched a few times uncontrollably.
âSomething on your mind?â
Charles' voice suddenly rang from behind her. Sophiaâs entire body stiffened in an instant, but her expression looked normal. âNope.â
He looked at her without saying a word, but he obviously did not believe her.
âMy brother and sister-in-law told me to stop reading those news and public opinions online, in case they affect my emotions. But my mom is no longer here, yet those people continue to talk about her this way. Iâm just... Itâs making me feel bad,â Sophia said half-truthfully.
Silence.
After a while, Charles said, âI can stop all these. At most, it will take till the day after tomorrow to stop all this news from spreading online.â
âWonât that affect your plan?â
âItâs fine,â Charles replied without hesitation.
Sophia had mixed feelings when she heard this.
Exposing Leahâs ploy in advance must affect Charles greatly, but he agreed for her sake.
Yet now, she had to lie to him because of Nicoleâs instruction.
âItâs fine. Just do things according to your plan. Those words on the internet arenât really affecting me that badly,â Sophia said.

ï¤Chapter 346 I Think Leah Jones Is Really Pitiful âCompared to this, Iâd rather we use the opportunity to stop Leah from ever doing bad again. Otherwise, Iâll be really worried about her doing something to our child if she keeps doing this in the future,â said Sophia.
