He ended the call as soon as he finished speaking.
Without wasting any time, he sent over all the photos taken of him and Joan, together with a document contenting pure fabrications about their relationship.
Needless to say, the media would publish any news that could get good ratings for them, regardless of the truth. The following morning, an article about the fiancee of the Norton Corporation's president having an affair with a mysterious man became a headline.
The content went like this: Joan, the fiancee of the Norton Corporation's president, used business reasons as an excuse to go on a date with a mysterious guy during office hours. According to a source, the mysterious man's name was Cory,
while his occupation remains unknown.
At the bottom of these lines, a few intimate photos of Joan and Cory were attached.
These photos were secretly taken at the coffee shop where Carl deliberately acted friendly with Joan. Some others were taken when Joan visited Carl at the hospital when they were chatting and laughing.
In just a few days' time, another headline became the hottest topic in Marsingfill.
While last time it was about Larry and Joan, this time it was about Joan as well.
Since Larry had announced his engagement with Joan in front of all the reporters, Joan had become a well-known figure in Marsingfill.
The moment the news published her affair with another man, it inevitably caused an uproar among the community.
Soon, Joan became the hot topic, together with the mysterious man, Cory.
While most of the community was more interested in how Larry would react to this news, many wondered if he would call off the engagement due to this public embarrassment.
In a blink of an eye, the entire city was gossiping about this incident.
