Chapter 098 Sophia is Scared
"Hey, Ms. Bishop, something terrible has happened!"
"Didn't I tell you all before? Don't panic over small issues. Stay calm; there's no problem that can't be solved in this world!"
"No, Ms. Bishop, this is really serious. AromaVista Group is blacklisting our company and announcing it online. They've already posted it on their official Twitter!"
As soon as the person on the other end finished speaking, Sophia was stunned on the spot.
"Don't joke around like this. AromaVista Group and we have been cooperating well..."
"It's true, Ms. Bishop. Director Wright has already called us. Ms. Bishop, did you offend someone? From what Director Wright said, it seems you've really offended a big shot this time. Even Director Wright can't protect you!"
Stunned!
Sophia was completely stunned!
This was simply a shocking piece of bad news.
They all knew AromaVista Group's status in the industry.
How could her small media company possibly resist?
If this blacklist wasn't revoked, no platform in the industry would cooperate with them anymore.
The key point was that her signed streamers would probably cause an uproar.
Eight years of hard work might be destroyed overnight.
Why did this happen?
Sophia almost collapsed on the spot.
"Ms. Bishop, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Ken looked at Sophia's pale face and quickly went over to support her.
She was fine just a moment ago.
Why did she look so devastated after taking a call?
Could it be that something really serious happened to the company?
"Hurry up and call Director Wright, hurry up!" Sophia urgently shouted.
"Okay! Okay! Ms. Bishop, don't worry. I'll call right away!"
Ken's forehead started to sweat.
He had never seen Sophia so out of control.
"Hello, is this Director Wright's office? I'm Ken, Ms. Bishop's assistant from DreamBuilder Media..."
"No need to say more. Director Wright has already instructed. Ms. Bishop offended Ultra-rich Patron Mr. Smoke. The top management of the group has personally ordered that DreamBuilder Media be blacklisted by AromaVista Group. Handle it yourselves!"
"Hello! Hello! Hello??"
Ken was dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand how DreamBuilder Media had offended Mr. Smoke.
Could it be that their boasting using Mr. Smoke's name was found out by Mr. Smoke?
Impossible!
It didn't make sense!
They didn't even know Mr. Smoke.
It was only in the past two days that they started boasting using Mr. Smoke's name.
How could Mr. Smoke find out so quickly?
This was just too unlucky!
Could Mr. Smoke be omniscient, knowing everything happening in the world?
"Ms. Bishop, did we really offend Mr. Smoke? But who exactly is Mr. Smoke? Could it be...?"
Ken glanced behind him.
Only Charles had made a call earlier.
They hadn't offended anyone else today.
Based on the process of elimination, there was only one truth.
Ken's eyes widened, and a wild and terrifying guess formed in his mind!
Sophia was shocked on the spot.
She also stared at Charles with an incredulous look, this recently viral running man on the internet.
Could he actually be...?
What the heck?
Goosebumps.
Ken was trembling!
Sophia was trembling too!
"Mr. Smoke? Are you... Mr. Smoke?"
Sophia stammered.
"Yeah, weren't you planning to blacklist me? I heard Mr. Smoke has a partnership with your company. I was wondering, when did I ever cooperate with you? Was it in a dream?"
Charles's expression remained calm.
The breakfast on the table had been devoured by him.
He was barely 80% full.
Recently, his appetite had increased due to growth.
Charles spoke in a calm tone while eating, saying extraordinary things.
Like a legendary figure in a movie, exuding an explosive aura!
Even in slippers, shorts, and a tank top, his powerful presence couldn't be hidden.
When Ken heard Charles's response, his legs went weak immediately.
He had heard that Mr. Smoke was not only an ultra-rich patron online but also a leading figure among the second-generation wealthy in Syeattel.
His influence and background were astonishing!
His strength was unfathomable!
As an assistant, he had just said he wanted to blacklist Mr. Smoke.
Terrifying!
Ken was no longer worried about losing face. He was extremely terrified.
A person like Mr. Smoke could easily deal with a small assistant like him.
"Mr. Smoke, this is all a misunderstanding. I really didn't know you were..."
"Please, don't hold it against us. Ken is a new assistant I just hired. He's fresh out of college and doesn't know much. It's all my fault, I'm willing to apologize to you!"
"How about I treat you to dinner tonight? I'll do anything you want. DreamBuilder Media is my life's work. I really don't want to lose it..."
At this moment, Sophia had lost all her noble aura.
Like a fallen aristocrat, Sophia stripped of the empress's new clothes and left with only humility and pleading.
"There's no way to fix this. Consider it a lesson. Don't always think about using someone else's name. You should pay for what you've done!"
Charles showed no mercy.
He strode out of the cafeteria.
Sophia collapsed to her knees on the spot.
"Ms. Bishop, that guy is too much. He's pushing us to the brink. We can't just sit and wait for death. How about we expose him? He wants to stay low-key and hidden, but we won't let him!"
"Ken, are you crazy? How dare you retaliate against Mr. Smoke? Don't you know his power? Do you have a death wish? And even if we expose him, what loss would it cause him?"
"Ms. Bishop, you're right. But what should we do now? We can't just let the company go bankrupt!"
"Beg! That's the only way. If once doesn't work, then twice. If twice doesn't work, then three times. If three times don't work, then ten times. Use every means to persuade him. I believe he will sympathize with me!"
Sophia's eyes were filled with determination.
Starting from scratch at twenty, she had built her own media company. Her greatest strength was her unwavering determination.
She was never afraid of failure, and she could even completely abandon her dignity and pride for success.
She was a woman willing to pay any price for success.
Charles couldn't be bothered with Sophia.
Charles couldn't tolerate that Alice was being forced to go on a blind date.
