Chapter 15 Little People Get Their Way

  • The next day, as soon as Gemma arrived at the company, Leticia rushed over, bursting into the room with anger.
  • "That scoundrel posted the video online last night, and the netizens are all drunk, taking sides without even knowing the whole story."
  • As Leticia spoke, she opened the video and handed her phone over. Gemma frowned slightly as she watched the carefully edited footage. The contrast between her decisive action and the man's bloody head formed a sharp contrast, and netizens were accusing her of bullying.
  • Some insiders revealed what happened at the party, saying that Ian's new lover constantly caused trouble, and the people of Yarwells had terrible luck to have such a jinx. Some even threatened to dox her and teach her how to be a decent person.
  • This video made it to the top of the hot search list, and Gemma sneered.
  • "Those people have nothing better to do. Don't watch it; out of sight, out of mind."
  • "But it's not right. Little people get their way," Leticia said. Although she had drunk a lot, she remembered last night's events clearly. Gemma was the victim, yet the entire internet was smearing her.
  • As they spoke, Ian walked in, and Leticia blushed. She had been so loud before; she didn't know if he had heard her.
  • "How do you like the new car?" Ian habitually rubbed Gemma's hair.
  • "The performance is pretty good, but it's too flashy. Brother, I came to work." She sighed helplessly. The car was the only one of its kind in Yarwells and attracted too much attention.
  • "Just make do with it. When the other cars arrive, you can choose a suitable one."
  • Leticia was secretly amazed. She had seen the new car when Gemma arrived and guessed that it was a gift from her doting brother. A car costing over six million dollars was just a temporary solution? She wished she had such a generous brother.
  • After Ian and Leticia left, Gemma called Chris and asked him to check the source of the video.
  • The door was knocked on again, and Karen walked in. "Miss Lewis, are you free now?"
  • "Is there something you need?"
  • "I saw Secretary Grant's subordinates sorting out Strayes Group's information. Maybe you forgot to tell him that our focus is on the Justice Group. I've given you all the best resources, which is equivalent to allowing you to make a significant contribution. Do you not trust me, Miss Lewis?"
  • Karen threw the file she was holding onto the table as if Gemma were ungrateful.
  • "I will consider Director Karen's suggestion."
  • "Do you still need to consider it? Being afraid of taking action will not lead to great things. Business decision-makers need courage and the ability to lead everyone forward to convince everyone."
  • Gemma sneered, "Is Director Karen teaching me how to do things?"
  • Karen's expression stiffened, and she raised her voice. "Of course not. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because Mr. Mason supports you. He can make you vice president, but it depends on whether you can handle it!"
  • "Please address me as Vice President Gemma, Director Karen."
  • Karen snorted disdainfully and turned to leave, deliberately slamming the door to show her contempt. Gemma smiled meaningfully.
  • The information from Chris arrived after the morning meeting. Not only did it have the complete video from last night, but it also bluntly told her that the mastermind behind it was Travis.
  • Gemma suspected that he was involved since he was the one gathering information and editing videos. When she was with the Summers family, he liked to collude with Jane to cause trouble for her openly.
  • "He really can't change his ways; he's still using some lowly means." Gemma was busy on the keyboard and quickly invaded Travis' computer. An encrypted file caught her attention. It wasn't much effort to unlock it, and the content inside shocked her, making her feel insulted. She pursed her lips. Since Travis liked to edit small videos, she didn't mind making him famous.
