Seeing her curled up in the boss’s chair giggling at the iPad, couldn’t help but ask: "Faye, what are you looking at that’s got you so entertained?"
"I’m looking at Weibo."
"You applied for a Weibo account too?" Declan Rivers looked shocked.
Faye Townsend shook her head: "No, I didn’t. I’m just checking out the trending topics."
After she finished speaking, she put down the tablet and looked at him: "What’s up, Declan? Is there something you need?"
"The salary approval document the finance team sent this morning needs your signature."
Faye dropped her feet from the chair, took the approval document, glanced over it, ensured there were no issues, and signed her name.
After retrieving the documents, Declan Rivers said: "Faye, those lackluster things on Weibo are not worth looking at, they’re really not interesting."
"But I found something interesting. Come here, I’ll show you."
Faye opened the tablet again, and Declan Rivers walked over, standing behind her, watching the trending news she showed him.
He laughed: "I’ve been following this the past few days too."
"And now? You’re not following it anymore?"
Declan Rivers nodded: "Yeah, such one-sided news really isn’t worth watching."
"One-sided?" Hearing Declan say that, Faye seemed to have thought of something.
"Don’t you think this Sebastian Sheldon is actually quite pitiful?"
"Whether pitiful or not is not for me to decide, nor for the media.
Sebastian Sheldon is now showing her vulnerable side with evidence.
People see her pitiful and vulnerable side and think this woman has become synonymous with tragedy.
But her ex-husband has not come out to clarify anything from start to finish.
Sebastian might indeed be very pitiful, but it’s also highly possible she’s just acting.
My time is so precious, why waste it on them?"
After Declan Rivers finished speaking, Faye gave him a thumbs up.
"Declan, I find you really outstanding.
Not many young people are as calm and composed as you these days."
Declan Rivers chuckled shyly: "Faye, why are you suddenly praising me?"
"I was actually just amused by the comments.
I find these people really interesting. Their own lives aren’t happy, so they find comfort in talking here."
She shook her head and put down the tablet: "On this kind of platform, everyone claims they have reason on their side, and whether black or white is turned upside down is determined by the "victim’s" narrative.
To be honest, I’m not even sure whether Sebastian Sheldon was really beaten by Lucas Warren.
Alright, Declan, there’s nothing more. You can go rest for a while."
"Okay, Faye, I’ll head out now."
After Declan Rivers left, Faye slowly wrote the words ’one-sided’ on paper with a pen.
Declan’s words were a reminder to her. She laughed softly and her eyes shifted slightly, seems like there’s something she needs to do.
She picked up her phone and dialed Lucas Warren’s number.
Lucas Warren answered the phone: "You’re not calling to scold me again today, are you?"
Faye remained silent for a moment before asking: "Did you really hit Sebastian?"
Lucas Warren snorted coldly.
She raised an eyebrow, a smile at the corner of her mouth, yet her voice was gentle: "Why did you need to resort to violence?
Is that the only way to solve problems?
I always thought you were calm, but why are you so impulsive."
"Calm? The way you talked to me about this, stirring up a storm, how am I supposed to stay calm."
Faye was speechless: "I knew before that Sebastian Sheldon often claimed to be domestically abused by you.
But I believe you’re not that kind of person.
Before you left Anchester, I had dealings with Sebastian, and I know, she’s not as vulnerable as she appears to be.
So when Roman Hughes in the United Kingdom happened to see her with broken bones claimed to be caused by you, I really didn’t believe it was truly you who caused them.
But this time... you really behaved poorly.
There are so many ways to solve the problem, why did you choose this way?"
"That’s what she deserves."
"Ha, her? I think it’s you who deserves it.
Have you stayed abroad too long to understand the current trends in Eldoria?
Sebastian has now exposed you online, she’s entirely taken on the victim role, and you’re being pointed at by thousands."
Lucas Warren snorted coldly without replying.
Faye secretly mocked in her heart, so? Why was he acting bravely back then?
"Since you played the hero in front of Sebastian that night, you should now handle the aftermath properly. Look at what the public opinion has turned you into, yet you’re playing the shrinking Black Turtle?"
Lucas Warren scoffed: "What others say is none of my business?"
"Really none of your business?" Faye’s voice turned cold: "If it’s really none of your business, consider me meddlesome today then."
