Chapter 110 Pamela Battles the Keyboard Warrior
"Lisa, don't freak out. You know Charles, right?" Ken asked.
Hearing his name made Lisa's heart ache.
"What does it matter if I know Charles or not?" she countered.
"Lisa, calm down. We're not here to hurt you. We actually need your help. You might not know, but Charles has some serious connections. Ms. Bishop had a run-in with him, and with just one word, he got her company blacklisted. Eight years of hard work, gone in a flash! We're desperate, which is why we came to you. If you can get Charles to talk to the higher-ups at AromaVista Group and lift the blacklist, Ms. Bishop would be super grateful. And of course, you won't be doing this for free. This card has $20,000 on it, and there'll be another $40,000 once it's done. Think about it, Lisa!"
Ken pulled out a bank card, trying to tempt her, but Lisa was already shocked by what Ken had revealed about Charles.
'With just one word, he managed to shut down a new media company? He can command the higher-ups at AromaVista Group too?' Lisa was completely stunned.
'Charles's words can make someone spend $60,000 to bribe me? So, he really is that powerful?'
Half an hour ago, Lisa still had doubts about whether Charles drove a Ferrari just to show off and whether he was the ultra-rich Mr. Smoke. But now, there were no more doubts in her mind. She was sure that Charles really was a super-rich guy, a guy who could even command a billion-dollar company like AromaVista Group. And she had heartlessly let such a powerful and devoted man down.
Lisa really wanted to slap herself.
'It's all Rachel's fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have done such a stupid thing. Rachel, you've ruined my life. I will never forgive you!' Lisa roared in her heart, her eyes turning red.
"Lisa, don't get too emotional. We're not trying to buy you off; we genuinely need your help. As long as you're willing to help, whether it succeeds or not, you can keep the $20,000!" Ken looked sincere.
"Really, as long as I'm willing to help, I get $20,000? Whether it succeeds or not?" Lisa was tempted.
Even though she was angry and desperate, $20,000 was being handed to her, and she gladly accepted it. It would help make up for the blow and hurt Rachel caused her. After all, she did have thoughts of winning Charles back.
"Yes, whether it succeeds or not, you get $20,000. But you can't just brush us off. I can transfer $2,000 to you first as an activity fund. You need to do everything you can in the coming days to win back Mr. Smoke's feelings and clear up any misunderstandings. Only then will we have a better chance of success!"
Seeing Lisa starting to take the bait, Ken began to play his tricks. This was his classic tactic. Use a huge temptation to lure someone in at first. Then, when it came time to actually hand over the money, he would start dragging his feet, setting various conditions.
"No, $2,000 isn't enough. I need at least $10,000!" Lisa demanded boldly. After a series of betrayals, Lisa now doubted everyone.
"This..."
"Give it to her!" Just as Ken hesitated, Sophia spoke up generously, "$10,000 is nothing compared to saving the company."
Getting the money, Lisa's mood lifted a bit. Rachel wasn't worth her tears.
This time, Lisa was dead set on winning Charles back, no hesitation.
[Lisa: Affection +5
Current Affection: 95 points]
Charles got back to school, more confused than ever.
'What's up with Lisa? How did her affection shoot back up so fast? Does she have a split personality or something?' he wondered.
Anyway, this time, no matter how pitiful or sad Lisa acted, he wouldn't soften.
Just then, Jesse, one of Charles's roommates, sent him a few messages.
Jesse: [Charles, you're a campus sensation now! Do you know, when I just went out, a girl came up to talk to me. I thought she was into my looks and personality, but she asked if I was in the same dorm as you. Damn!
Later, I checked the campus forum and found out someone exposed that you're the Running Man, and even Pamela herself responded to the 'Keyboard Warrior' post dissing you. This girl is really into you!]
Seeing Jesse's messages, Charles suddenly got it.
'No wonder everyone seemed to recognize me today. I've been exposed again, still carrying the title of "Running Man."'
Charles opened his browser and logged into the campus forum. The post calling him a douchebag was pinned again! And another post was pinned alongside it, posted by Pamela.
The content of the post was as follows:
Pamela: [Hey everyone, I'm Pamela. I'm here to respond to the 'Keyboard Warrior' post calling Charles a douchebag.
Because Charles is getting more and more popular, and the Running Man incident on TikTok has been exposed, more and more students are unclear about the truth. I don't want this incident to make everyone doubt Charles's character. Of course, you might not know me, so let me introduce myself. I'm one of the three girls who have a thing for Charles.
Actually, what happened that day was very simple. Three girls brought breakfast for Charles at the same time, but none of them were his girlfriend; they just liked him, that's all. Yes, I admit I like Charles. One of the girls is Charles's ex-girlfriend. She left him for a rich guy because she was materialistic. Later, she realized how rich Charles was and wanted to get back with him, which is why someone took a picture of him being cold to the girl.
As for Prom Queen Jessica, she's my rival. As long as Charles hasn't publicly announced a relationship, I won't give up. It is sure that Charles has girls who like him. But he's still single and hasn't played with anyone's feelings, so you can't call him a douchebag.
Someone, so-called Keyboard Warrior, doesn't know the truth and just rants. You really are a Keyboard Warrior. I'm posting today to fight the Keyboard Warrior. If you don't delete the post and apologize, I'll fight you to the end!]
Under this post, there were also many comments.
[Pamela, you're awesome!]
[Damn, she's so cool! I've never seen a girl who would come out to fight for a man like that!]
