Watching through the car window as Janet left, Mason stroked his neck and shook his head resignedy with a smile.
On the other hand, Lee had been waiting at the departure lounge for quite some time. Just as he lifted his eyes, he saw Janet at the entrance, so he quickly walked up to her.
“You’re finally here!” Staring at her, Lee unintentionally saw the mark on her neck.
“What’s going on, Janet? Did you and Mason have a roll in the hay?”
Ruffled, Lee stared at Janet as if she was his younger sister who had been bullied by a toad.
Blushing, Janet pursed her lips and shook her head. “Nope.”
With that, Lee heaved a sigh of relief.
“Did you bring the acupuncture needles?” Janet sat down and asked with her eyes closed.
“Yeah.” Lee passed the apparatus to her and added, “The condition is quite critical this time.”
Janet nodded and remained silent.
Lee shifted his gaze to the mark on her neck and pouted.
What a savage jerk!
After a few hours of flight, the plane finally touched down at Yobril.
Lee took out his phone to look at the time—it was 7 o’clock in the evening.
Due to time constraints, Janet and Lee had not asked the Fullers to pick them up, but had directly taken a cab from the airport.
While they were in the car, Janet pulled out her phone and sent Mason a message to notify him that she had arrived.
Suddenly, Lee who was sitting beside her scrolling through his phone exclaimed in astonishment.
Janet turned to him and asked, “What happened?”
“Check out the trendings on Twitter!”
Lee didn’t even lift his head as he continued staring blankly at the screen while Janet insouciantly opened Twitter and clicked on the trendings list.
There were several trending topics concerning her. She randomly clicked on one of them, which turned out to be a topic about her and Lynette.
‘The young lady of the Shields Family offended the top scholar, causing the stock price of Shields Enterprise to plummet. Meanwhile, Lynette Shields has immediately fled overseas.’
Grinning, Janet locked her phone.
Mason surely fires on all cylinders.
On the other hand, Mason headed straight back to Lowry Family Conglomerate to settle some issues after he sent Janet to the airport.
After a few minutes in action, all slandering posts about Janet on Woodsbury University Forum had disappeared.
Looking at the computer screen, the man smiled in satisfaction.
All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door.
Pinching his brow, Mason pondered for a moment and said, “Come in.”
Sean walked toward Mason’s office table and reported in a servile manner, “Shields Enterprise has taken the initiative to write a public apology. The young lady of the Shields has gone overseas too.”
Hearing that, Mason wore an indifferent expression as if this outcome was within his expectation.
However, any apology would be in vain now as he would not let off anyone who offended him.
Mason rubbed his temples and replied in a deep voice, “Alright.”
“I’ll take my leave first then.”
The moment Sean stepped out from the office, the phone on his table buzzed.
Lifting his head, Mason took his phone and clicked into Messenger, thereafter he grinned when he read the message.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Mason darkened his face at once and muttered in an annoyed tone, “Come in.”
With that, Sean walked in hurriedly holding his laptop. He was even panting, as if he had discovered some big news.
Glancing at him, Mason asked in a frigid and hostile manner, “What happened? What’s the hastening about?”
Sean shuddered and exclaimed, “There’s an uproar on Twitter! The topics on Twitter’s trendings are all about you and Miss Jackson now!”
Frowning, Mason stood up and grabbed Sean’s laptop to look at it while asking, “What do you mean?”
