Yvonne frowned before finally picking up the phone and answered the call, "Hello, who’s this?"
"Mrs. Lancaster, it's me." A soft voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Yvonne could immediately tell that it was Mandy Lovett.
Yvonne's small face suddenly sank and her voice became indifferent. "It’s you. How did you get my number?"
Mandy smiled. "Mrs. Lancaster, don't sound so cautious. I was the assistant to the chairman for quite some time after all. I know a little about his personal connections."
"Hah!" Yvonne laughed and her laughter was full of sarcasm. "Miss Lovett, why aren't you speaking softly and weakly, like everyone else in this world is bullying you?"
Mandy could hear that Yvonne was mocking her. Her face was distorted for a moment, but she quickly returned to her usual appearance and smiled. "What are you talking about, Mrs. Lancaster? I didn't mention anyone bullying me. It was you who misunderstood."
Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Okay, cut the crap. Why did you call? Are you here to show off those things on the
internet to me?"
Mandy didn't expect her to see right through her intention of calling. She panicked and her smile stiffened. "Mrs. Lancaster, what you said was too much. I'm not here to show off. I'm here to say sorry to you."
"Sorry?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows. "What are you sorry for?"
"Of course it's about the two videos on the internet. Mrs. Lancaster, I'm really sorry. I don't know how the videos got on the internet, and it has caused you criticism. I'm really sorry." Mandy lowered her head and looked very sorry.
Yvonne just found it to be extremely funny. "Miss Lovett, do you really not know why the videos are on the internet?"
"I really don't know." Mandy shook her head.
Yvonne sighed coldly, "Okay, Miss Lovett, you can quit acting in front of me. You know in your heart if it was you or not. You don't need to be phony in front of me. I know why you did those things, so it’s really unnecessary to do all this-it will only make you look stupid."
Mandy was irritated by her remarks, so she did not bother pretending anymore. She squeezed her phone tightly and her voice became sharp. "Mrs. Lancaster, what do you mean I look stupid? All I know is that I tainted your reputation, and the chairman is going to
despise you!"
"So now that you’ve said this, you’re acknowledging that you did those things on the internet, aren't you?" Yvonne curved the corners of her mouth.
Mandy bit her lip. "Yes, I did it. All I know is that I won."
"You won?" As if she just heard a big joke, Yvonne couldn't help laughing while holding her stomach. " You said you won, but what did you win? Did you win by tarnishing my reputation? Or do you think you won because you think Henry will despise me?"
"Both!" Mandy clenched her fists.
Yvonne had enough laughs and held her forehead. " Then I’m sorry, you're going to lose. Do you really think you tarnished my reputation? It's just people on the internet insulting me and aside from that, I'm completely fine. What’s more, the titles of the videos are all fake anyway. Since they're fake, it certainly wouldn’t tarnish my reputation."
When Mandy heard this, her heart shook and she began to feel a little uneasy.
Yvonne fluffed her hair and said, "Also, you said that Henry despised me. That is even more nonsensical. D o you know what we’ve been through? Do you know how long it took him to get me back? If he would actually despise me because of something like this, then with all due respect, he’s not a good man, so..." "So what?" Mandy swallowed her saliva as she became more and more worried.
Yvonne narrowed her eyes. "So if he was a man like that, you don't even need to snatch him away from m e. I wouldn’t want him anyway, understand?"
Mandy's eyes widened. "You..."
"You what? Well, you don't have to tell me all this. It's going to be eleven o'clock in one hour. Henry will release a press conference to clarify the things on the internet. Mandy, I hope you won't be crying after you get attacked on the internet." After speaking, Yvonne smiled and hung up the phone directly.
Mandy looked at the phone blankly and started panicking.
Press conference?
Henry was going to hold a press conference?
How could he do that? If he held a press conference, what should she do?
At this moment, Mandy truly regretted it. She regretted being so impulsive and posted those videos online.
