?Chapter 446:
Star’s psychological defenses were crumbling. Moon seemed to know all his escape routes, blocking him and chasing him relentlessly.
He had been so proud just moments ago, but now he was as pitiable as a lost dog,pletely unable to fight back.
Norah slowed down slightly. She was about to hack into Star’sputer when her phone rang.
She answered the call, sticking the phone between her shoulder and ear, determined not to be distracted as Star was trying to make a quick escape.
“Hello, honey.”
Sean’s voice came through the earpiece.
“What’s up?”
Norah’s eyes were sharp, her fingers flying over the keyboard even faster. Star was a threat to Sean’spany, and she couldn’t let him get away. At the very least, she needed to extract some information from him.
“I had Phillip look into it. The original post was made by a doctor at Victoria Hospital. I’ll send the details to youter. A nurse at Silver Boulder Private Hospital posted the second one, and then others gradually began forwarding it. As for the rumors about you, at first nce, it seems their spreading was unnned. However, I dug deeper and discovered they were orchestrated by an organization that was paid to specifically spread rumors about you.”
Sean had called Norah as soon as he received the report. He heard the rapid clicking of herputer keyboard and asked, “Honey, are you busy confronting someone? You don’t need to bother with those trolls. My PR team is handling thements. Once the buzz fades away, I’ll have the posts taken down.”
Find your next story at g?lnσν????s.??o??
He knew it wasn’t wise to censor the discussion right now. Removing the posts during the height of public curiosity would only fuel more spection and gossip.
The PR team had developed aplete response n, and in a couple of days, this matter wouldn’t be on anyone’s mind.
“Ah, thank you, darling! I’m busy with something else right now. I’ve heard everything you said. Is there anything else? If not, I need to hang up.”
She was at a crucial juncture. Sean’s words had just passed through her ears, and she hadn’t quite registered what he had said.
Sean heard the dismissive tone in her voice, and his fingers tightened around his phone. Was Norah implying that he wasn’t efficient enough? She hadn’t said it outright, but her attitude conveyed it clearly.
What could be keeping her so busy thiste at night? He disconnected the call, his expression souring.
Phillip and T had put in a lot of effort to unearth the information. They had hoped that their boss’s mood would improve, but after the call, his demeanor turned cold again.
“Mr. Scott, did Miss Wilson give any instructions?” Phillip wiped the cold sweat that had beaded on his forehead, terrified of his stern boss.
“Direct the PR team to manage thements immediately. Notify T and prepare to delete and block the posts. I want all this done before eight tomorrow morning.”
He had to resolve the situation before Norah went to work at the hospital the next day. Otherwise, she would view him as ipetent.
“I don’t care how you do it, I just want results.”
He nced at Phillip coldly, as if an invisible pressure emanated from him that was impossible to ignore.
Seated at the desk, Sean appeared intimidating, exerting a crushing pressure on Phillip.
As an employee, Phillip could only sigh and do as his boss asked.
Norah was on the verge of breaching Star’s firewall when she pulled up the tab for the forum’s homepage. She saw that he had spammed dozens ofments. She paused. He had promised he would share all the information he knew, but Norah believed this could be more beneficial than just hacking hisputer. After all, she wasn’t sure how much data still remained on his system.
