Chapter 1066
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
With Hilton Group involved, the news soon went viral. It popped in many usersâ news-feeds as it was
shared again and again.
Of course, it was Debbie who was behind the story. She paid a lot of money to make sure this was the
top trending topic. And she also paid for some gossip rags to spread the scandal.
Jamesâ scandal spread like wildfire on the Internet. He was soon the name on everyoneâs lips as the
gossip surrounding him was juicy. The head office and branch companies of Hilton Group were
swamped with calls. Carlosâ fans and many media outlets were to blame.
All those calls were to petition the board to remove James and reinstate Carlos as the rightful CEO.
Those who knew what was really going on criticized James for snatching
Carlosâ position while he was in a coma. Carlos had been back to work for some time, but James still
held onto the reins of power.
A N G E L A âs L I B R A R Y
The PR department of Hilton Group was having a hell of a time protecting the companyâs good name.
The video of Jamesâ affair was already all over the Internet. X-rated material was strictly prohibited on
the Internet. Good thing, or the person behind it would have uploaded the whole video. And they
wouldnât bother pixelating it, either.
By the time Carlos got wind of it, it had already been shared to several different media sites. It had
been online a whole five minutes.
The scandal was spreading.
Carlos knew this wasnât normal, and someone had to be behind it. And that personâs purpose was
obvious-to ruin James.
After glancing over the news, he ordered Frankie in a calm voice, âTear those articles down. I want that
scandal quashed. Give fair warning to those online gossip rags. Whoever posts this again will have
their credentials yanked and be banned from the Internet.â
âYes, Carlos. But thereâs another issue. The phone lines are jammed with callers demanding an
explanation. They want one from James,â
Frankie reported honestly.
Carlos thought about it for a bit. Then, he said, âI see. Iâll take care of it. In the meantime, find out whoâs
behind this.â
âYes, Carlos!â Frankie nodded and left to carry out Carlosâ orders.
At the CEOâs office
Bang! A teacup was thrown against the wall. It shattered, the shards skittering across the floor.
âThat bitch! It must be Debbie! Damn you! The arrogance?! You dare set me up?â James snarled in a fit
of rage. At this point, he finally understood the woman came on to him that night was a trap, and
Debbie was the one behind it. And he walked right into her clutches.
The assistant next to James was frightened, his face pale. He unbuttoned the top button, loosened his
tie, and gulped. But he managed to collect himself and continued reporting to his boss, âCarlosâ already
issued takedown notices. As soon as he got involved, itâs started to die down. We havenât seen anyone
ballsy enough to repost it.
But the phone Lines are still jammed. They want you to give an explanation in person.â âOr more
precisely, admit to the affair, â the assistant thought to himself.
âCarlos has it handled?â James mused.
A few minutes later, he hurried to the general managerâs office.
Carlos was talking on the phone with Tabitha.
âDonât worry, Mom. Weâre all good here.â
James entered hurriedly, knocking as he opened the door.
