<h4>Chapter 429: Chapter 431: Personally Asking for Her Forgiveness</h4>


    Garret Twain was taken aback, but then immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. David. Should I sign it with your name?"


    David Benington hesitated, "No need for now, she... should know it’s from me. For the next few days, have a bouquet sent to her every day. Once I’ve handled some matters, I will personally go to request her forgiveness."


    Understanding, Garret nodded, "Yes, Mr. David, I will arrange to have the flowers sent immediately."


    The "some matters" David was referring to was likely his break up with Annie Lawrence.


    Garret was somewhat pleased about this development.


    Of the twodies from the Lawrence family, he had a preference for Ms. Joanna.


    The current woman was not as easy-going as the former one, her attitude towards their staff was not great, and she often disyed a superior attitude towards them as if she was David’s woman.


    She was not yet part of the Benington family, but she already acted as if she was the hostess.


    Garret had long been displeased with her.


    Therefore, when David instructed him to investigate Annie’s pregnancy in the hospital, he took it quite seriously.


    He conducted the investigation meticulously.


    Having epted his task, Garret turned and walked out of the office.


    Less than a minute after he left, there was another knock on the office door.


    David was holding his phone, hesitating about whether to send a message to Joanna. Hearing the knock, he frowned and looked up, "Come in."


    The door opened and an agent from Gxy Agency came in.


    "Mr. David."


    The agent entered the office and respectfully greeted David.


    David set his phone down on the desk with a sober expression, "What is it?"


    The agent hesitated before saying, "Ms. Joanna is embroiled in another scandal. Someone posted on a blog iming she used an alt ount to disparage her sister on the Closia Film School forum. They tracked the location of the IP address from that alt ount."


    "Moreover, the person revealed that Ms. Joanna intervened in your rtionship with her sister, iming she is the other woman."


    "Now, that post is being widely shared on various blogs. Major news media have also called us for fact-checking. If not managed properly, this could negatively affect Ms. Joanna’s reputation, so I thought I should discuss it with you."


    "Mr. David, about this issue..."


    After all, the revtions in that post also misrepresent David’s situation and character.


    So, they couldn’t just handle it rashly on their own.


    David’s expression instantly darkened, "You’re saying she posted the disparagement against her own sister?"


    Upon hearing his question, the agent was startled.


    She looked puzzled.


    She expected David to inquire about Annie’s well-being first and then immediately think about how it should be handled.


    Unexpectedly, the first thing he inquired about was this matter.


    Although the agent was slightly baffled, she quickly responded, "Yes."


    "Did you see the post yourself?"


    "...Yes."


    "Send me the link immediately," David narrowed his eyes, his voice low and grave.


    The agent didn’t question him, thinking that David wanted to devise a n after reading the post. She promptly sent him a link to the post exposing Joanna’s scandal.

    As negative news about Annie was causing a major uproar on the blog, she herself was oblivious to it.


    She was currently participating in a live broadcast interview.


    The live broadcast interview was about her daily life. The host would ask some predetermined questions and then select some people from the inte to each ask Annie a question.
