Chapter 1152 Breaking News
Looking around, Sheryl immediately felt like she was on a deserted island, and she happened to be the
ruler of it.
Although she had the whole island all by herself, she felt like sooner or later, she would starve to death,
because there was nothing to eat.
Sheryl heaved a deep sigh, and in a determined but still reluctant voice, she said, "This is not a big
deal. We can always start over."
Then again, even with that optimism, she wasn't in a better situation than a king of an uninhabited
island. All of her employees had quit, except Isla.
Meanwhile, Isla didn't know how to comfort Sheryl. This was, in fact, a devastating situation. As she
was scrolling on her phone, a piece of news suddenly caught her attention. "Wait, Sher! Look at this!"
she screamed in surprise, making Sheryl's heart skip a beat. Sheryl leaned over.
A high, modulated voice could be heard from the video as the host announced, "Breaking news! We all
know about Sheryl Xia cheating on her husband, the CEO of Shining Company. But our journalists
have gathered another revelation.
No need for more details. Roll video!"
Immediately, the security videos that Charles had copied started playing on the screen. Sheryl and Isla
watched as Duncan and the two kids kidnapped appeared on the video. The kidnapper then got his
phone to dial Sheryl and called her. His voice was clearly heard in the security footage. He threatened
Sheryl to admit that she had an affair, and that she was the woman in the naked photos.
Following the security footage were the evidences that Charles had intended to show at the press
conference.
The proof stated that those naked pictures had been processed, and the security videos had clear
images and sound, enough to disapprove what had been previously assumed.
At this point, anyone who saw the news would understand that Sheryl had been, indeed, framed.
Her eyes still glued on the screen as the host summarized and concluded the problem, Isla beamed
and exclaimed, "Look, Sher! It's about you! Everyone will know that you are innocent, and your
problems now are resolved." With happy tears built up in her eyes, Isla then turned to Sheryl with a
smile.
"Let me have a look," Sheryl replied. Instead of a smile on her face, a confused expression plastered
on it as she took the phone from Isla. She never thought that Charles would be able to find those
security videos overnight. Moreover, she didn't expect that he would contact all the television networks
to release them and prove her innocence in such a short time.
Isla interrupted her train of thought when she spoke again and suggested that she look at the
comments below the video post. Previously, when the news had come about Sheryl's cheating, there
were a lot of negative and hurtful comments below the reports, so she could never dare read them.
However, things were a lot different now that the truth had been exposed to the public.
The comments section had been flooded as new comments popped up every second. Sheryl and Isla
read the top comments and the first said, "Turns out that Mrs. Lu has been set up! Oh my God!"
While the second comment read, "Wow. I can't believe that Mrs. Lu's children had been abducted, and
she had been forced to admit that she had an affair. I didn't know that these plots that I only watched in
dramas could also happen in real life. I have to admit, though, that she is a brave woman and a great
mother at that!"
A netizen replied on that comment and read, "Oh, I definitely agree with you. She admitted something
that she didn't do, most possibly knowing that would place her reputation out of line just for the sake of
her children. Indeed, she is a great mother!"
Another had replied to that very comment and read, "I think that she is not only a good mother, but she
is also a good wife, because, otherwise, Mr. Lu would not have trusted her and tried to prove her
innocence."
The comments about her went on and on, and all the reviews were in Sheryl's favor.
Sheryl was about to stop reading them when a comment caught her eye. It read, "But, who is behind all
of this?"
Sheryl clicked on the reply to that comment, which said, "It must be Duncan Qiu. I have some reliable
source. He was one of the managers of Tarsan Corporation, and from what I had heard, he had some
grudge against Mrs. Lu, because of some business problems."
There was a reply after that. "We all know that Duncan Qiu was fired from Tarsan Corporation. He must
be a bad guy or had done something wrong, or else, he wouldn't have gotten fired."
"At least, he got arrested. That's good news!"
Sheryl read on but was surprised by Isla's squeal. "Mr. Lu did it, Sher! From now on, no one will
wrongly judge you!" Isla hugged Sheryl tightly for a short while and smiled at her. She really did feel
happy for her best friend.
Sheryl gave Isla a weak smile and then continued to stare at the comments calmly. After all that had
happened to her recently, she learned to stop caring about what other people thought of her.
Not long after, Sheryl's phone started ringing. She was overwhelmed by the number of calls she was
receiving from her previous clients. They all apologized to her and proposed to place big orders as a
form of reconciliation.
After all, the CEO of Cloud Avertising Company was Sheryl, the wife of Charles. Since Sheryl turned
out to be innocent, it meant that she and Charles still had a good relationship, and they didn't want to
stop their cooperation with the company.
They were determined to cooperate, because they were all afraid that Charles might take revenge on
them once he learned what they had done to Sheryl.
Frowning, Isla realized immediately the intentions of those clients and grabbed Sheryl's phone,
dropping it on the sofa. With folded arms, she scolded, "Why are you still taking their calls? Let me
remind you that they chose to stop working with us and left us when we were in trouble. Now that you
were proven to be innocent, all they want now is to butter you up, because they won't dare to displease
Charles."
Sheryl bit her lower lip and thought about this situation candidly. After a short while, she replied, "They
stopped cooperating, because I am Charles' wife and they thought I cheated on him. They didn't want
to get themselves into trouble."
Isla rolled her eyes and heaved a deep sigh. "Whatever. Just ignore them still. The truth is out, and I
am certain that we will get new clients soon," Isla said with a decisive and determined tone. As a matter
of fact, Isla couldn't control her anger as soon as she remembered what their former clients had done
to them, and she was determined not to work with those disgusting people ever again.
Sheryl looked at Isla and sighed. "Don't take it too heavy, Isla. You are right. They chose to leave us,
and we will not work with them again. I know we don't have a big company, but still, we can't allow
ourselves to bring back bullies like them," she said in a decided tone.
Isla's anger slowly subsided, and the crease on her forehead started to fade as she replied, "I agree
with you. We should just ignore them and teach them a lesson. Let them regret their decisions."
The news had spread quickly like wildfire. In a blink of an eye, those staff, who were about to finish
their resignation procedures, immediately swarmed to Sheryl's office like bees.
Sheryl looked at all of them, while Isla looked at them in disgust and contempt. "What are you all doing
here? There is no need to say goodbye. Just leave as soon as you finish your procedures," Isla
quipped, rolling her eyes at them. Her anger started to come back as she knew why they came here in C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
the first place.
'They decided to resign earlier, and there is no way we will accept them again, ' Isla thought.
She and Sheryl would rather hire inexperienced but dedicated and loyal employees than let these
irresponsible people continue to work here.
With an embarrassed look on his face, one employee immediately spoke. "I was wrong, Ms. Xia. I want
to continue to work here. My wife just called me from the hospital, and she said that her doctor told her
that she would recover soon. She asked me to focus on my work, and that she could still take care of
our children."
Another spoke clearly in desperation. "Ms. Xia, I was mistaken. The vacant position in a government
unit that my parents had gotten me with some connections has been taken already, so I can't go there
anymore. I want to stay here..."
Isla's anger just continued to rise inside of her as she heard these desperate and shameless excuses.
A few minutes ago, they all had been eager to quit their jobs, and now they were to thick to use all
kinds of excuses possible just to keep their jobs here.
In short, they were all snobs. After the rumors on their boss got the company in trouble, they all
intended to leave, but now that Sheryl's name had been cleared, they were desperate to stay. For sure,
the company was not going to let this slide.
