"Don't care about what others say," Joanne said.
"I just can't tolerate others insulting you!" Jack answered straightforwardly. "Who are they? If they believe everything on the Internet, they have no ability to distinguish right from wrong. I scold them just to let them think about what the truth is. Moreover, there is another group of people who know that the news online is false, but they still use it to deliberately humiliate you. These bad people must be punished."
Joanne was shocked by his words.
As Jack had been a playboy who always fooled around with girls, she didn't expect him to get so angry when she was defamed.
A warm feeling welled up within Joanne, who thought she didn't really know Jack in the past.
Edwin's face had been dark since he returned to the Atherton Group.
Even five meters away from Edwin, Lucas could sense his anger, as if someone had owed him billions.
All the employees in the president's office were nervous, for fear that they might say something wrong and annoy Edwin.
When he was about to get off work, Lucas was relieved that the difficult day would finally be over... Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The manager of the project department knocked on the door at the moment. "Mr. Atherton."
Edwin replied in a cold tone without even looking up, "Come in."
As soon as the manager came in, he felt that he had stepped into an ice house.
He handed the list of projects in his hand to Edwin.
"Mr. Atherton, this is the list just submitted by Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment Co., including some recent investments in film and television projects and social welfare sponsorship activities. Please check them. In addition, Miss. Sinclair would like to invite you for a short meeting when you have time."
Edwin ignored things related to Noah.
Miss. Sinclair was Noah Sinclair. When Joanne and Patrick eloped, and Edwin recuperated from the car accident, Harry let Noah manage some performers of Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment Co., and she got many resources for the performers within just a few months. Later, Edwin took over the Atherton Group shortly after he was discharged from the hospital. He didn't spend much time on Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment Co., and he just occasionally went there for an inspection. So, he and Noah hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Edwin took the list and immediately saw the crew of Story in Rosch.
The Atherton Group only occupied 30 percent of its investment.
Edwin casually crossed out the crew of Story in Rosch. "I don't want to hear that Story in Rosch will be filmed."
The manager looked up at Edwin abruptly with confusion." Mr. Atherton, do you mean that we will withdraw the investment or force the crew to stop filming?"
Edwin gave him a cool glance. "Can’t you understand my words?"
The manager explained with a pale face, "But the project has already been approved, and the actors have also been recruited. All the preparations have been made. If we cancel the project, the previous investment will be wasted.
Moreover, Story in Rosch is very popular on the Internet, and the actors involved are excellent. If there is nothing wrong, we will make a lot of money from the TV series. Mr.
Atherton, do you really want to call off the project?”
Edwin threw his pen onto the desk and looked at the manager with a sarcastic smile. "Well, since you think so clearly, how about I let you be the president and you give me orders?"
"I... I’m sorry, Mr. Atherton. I’ll execute your order right away."
With cold sweat on his forehead, the manager left in fear while holding the list.
When seeing the manager, Lucas immediately went with him.
Then the manager began complaining to Lucas about what Edwin had done.
