Chapter 1046 Sonia’s Worries
“She’s not?” Noah was shocked, as he did not believe his own ears.
She could protect our company, but she isn’t actually relying on her family’s backing to do so!
Even if he said this, nobody would believe him.
“Does the woman have some special privilege that President Fuller has to accommodate for?” Noah asked the chief editor.
Waving his hand, Mitch replied, “Of course not. It’s because of her grandfather.”
“Grandfather?”
“That’s right.” Mitch nodded. “He’s a Lore, the old master, Harry Lore.”
“You mean the family who does online business? That Lore Family?” Noah rubbed his chin.
Mitch grunted. “Yeah, that one. You might not know this, but Harry was once a professor in economics; he is also President Fuller’s mentor. So, you could say that Harry had a hand in President Fuller’s success. As for Harry’s granddaughter, she’s almost the same age as President Fuller, so I guess that they are childhood friends. Even if his granddaughter did something wrong, President Fuller would still forgive her on account of his teacher. Now, do you understand why I’m not afraid of Fuller’s revenge?”
“That’s why.” Noah nodded. As if he wanted to confirm something, he asked again, “Then Mr. Adams, is President Fuller close with Miss Lore?”
Mitch grew hesitant due to his question. “I’m not too sure, but I don’t care either. Everything will be fine as long as we have Harry.”
“That’s right.” Noah smiled and took his hands out of his pocket. “Mr. Adams, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to take some tools and clean this mess.”
“Go ahead.” Mitch nodded.
Noah turned around and walked out. The moment he closed the door, he immediately took his phone and called Sonia.
Seeing the caller, Sonia had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
She obviously did not think that the person would contact her this quickly.
Did something happen?
Without hesitation, she answered immediately, “Hello?”
“Miss Reed, I got it. I found out everything you wanted.” Clenching the phone, Noah could not hide his excitement.
Sonia was stunned.
Even though she had guessed the content, she still could not hide her excitement.
“Really?” She straightened her back and said in an urging tone.
He nodded profusely. “Yup.”
“That’s great. Quick, say who it is?” She had a face of ecstasy.
Noah did not bother to withhold the information as he told her everything he heard from Mitch.
After hearing it all, a stiff expression was painted on her face. “What did you say? It’s Mr. Lore’s granddaughter?”
“That’s right.”
Frowning, Sonia stayed silent, for a torrent of emotions swirled inside her.
It’s actually Mr. Lore’s granddaughter.
Mr. Lore…
If memories serve me right, Toby did mention about Mr. Lore in our video call this morning, didn’t he?
I didn’t think that it would be so coincidental that the person who created the scandal between me and Charles in order to destroy my relationship with Toby… was actually his granddaughter.
Does Mr. Lore know about this?
Also, if Toby knows that it is his granddaughter that did it, how will he deal with it?
This was because before the video call ended, the person Toby was going to meet was Harry.
When Toby mentioned him, he spoke of him in a very respectful tone, so it was clear what he thought about him.
Yet, the person that was behind all this was his granddaughter. Even Sonia was not too sure about how Toby would react when he was stuck between her and Harry.
At that point, numerous thoughts flooded her brain.
She only thought that the person behind all this was someone that adored Toby and had an influential family.
However, she did not expect that the perpetrator would have such a relationship with Toby.
No wonder she guaranteed the safety of the company.
At first, she thought that the culprit was just exaggerating. Now that she knew the truth, Sonia thought that she was too naive.
With this kind of relationship in mind, Toby would naturally spare Squirrel Media on account of Harry.
This was with the assumption that he regarded the Lore Family more important than her.
Hence, she was not sure who Toby placed more importance on—her or the Lore Family?
She had no way of comparing as well.
On the other side of the phone, Noah, who did not hear the reply from Sonia, called out to her, “Miss Reed? Miss Reed?”
With a glimmer in her eyes, she snapped back to reality, “I’m still here.”
“Is everything alright, Miss Reed?”
“It’s nothing.” Sonia rubbed her temples and sighed somewhat tiringly. “I want to confirm something. Is Toby’s teacher from that Lore Family?”
I hope not.
Even though the possibility might be low.
Noah, who did not know what Sonia was thinking of, nodded and replied, “He is indeed. I still have the recording from the chief editor. I recorded it for this purpose. If you want it, I can send it to you.”
“Okay.” Sonia squeezed out a smile after a brief silence.
“So, Miss Reed, about the job…” Noah rubbed his hands and smiled gleefully.
Now, Sonia was not sure if she could arrange a job for him at Fuller Group, since it was something that concerned Toby and the Lores.
If she was not as important as the Lore Family, then obviously Toby would not punish Lynette.
This would cause Sonia to be dissatisfied, in turn, creating an invisible barrier between them.
If that happened, would she still have the cheek to place him at the Fuller Group?
I doubt so.
So, she was uncertain.
Still, revealing her hesitancy right now would only sound like she was lying to him in the first place.
Besides, she also did not know whether he would do anything rash after knowing that he assumed he was scammed.
All in all, she felt a massive headache coming in.
Yet, she could not think of any other way to go about it yet, so she could only word it ambiguously. “Don’t worry. I will arrange it for you. Let’s talk about that another time.”
Regardless of the circumstances, she had to please him first.
I will just think of another way to make good on my promise.
If I can’t land him that job, I can reimburse him financially.
This is all I can do for now.
Hearing Sonia’s words, Noah nodded gratefully. “Okay. I’ll thank you in advance then, Miss Reed. I’ll send you the recording right now.”
“Okay,” replied Sonia.
Ending the call, she let out a fatigued sigh.
The next second, her phone’s notification bell rang—Noah had sent over a voice file.
Sitting up straight, Sonia set aside the troublesome issues for now, as it was more important to listen to the recording.
She opened the file and listened to it with a serious expression.
After that, she closed her eyes.
The content of the recording is the same as what Noah has described with minimal difference.
It is confirmed that the mastermind behind this is Mr. Lore’s granddaughter.
What was new to her was that Toby actually had a childhood friend.
With that, Sonia formed an ambiguous smile.
This was not because she was upset at Toby having a childhood friend.
After all, she had one too, which is Charles.
Hence, she told herself that she would not set up double standards on such affairs.
She was only upset that he did not let on to her about his childhood friend and that the friend had such thoughts toward him.
Just as she was pondering about this, the phone in her hand rang.
Looking down, Sonia saw Toby’s name appear on the screen, making her heartbeat rise instantly.
