“The lawyers will handle everything. I have already asked the IT department to track the ones who made the accusations online,” Lawrence said. He had expected this reaction from her.

“So, you simply wanted me not to say a word…” Sofia muttered.

“At the end of the day, everything is still up to you.”

“However, that will affect how the shareholders view your name. With the Annual shareholder’s meeting happening in just a few days, it is too risky to let this issue continue,” Lawrence spoke. Just as he expected, Sofia’s gaze

career. I cannot let a rumor ruin her.”

Lawrence was pleased to hear that answer. Either way, he can still release what he has on her. However, it might not have the effect that he wanted. It was said but… it is what it is.

The effect would still be the same.

I am giving you the time to decide.” Lawrence said. “I will stand with you no matter what.” Seeing Sofia’s teary eyes, Lawrence patted her shoulder before he took his coat and left the office. He always knew that Sofia would be soft
