Patrick's furrowed brow betrayed his concern. He had deliberately allowed the media to report the news, and he hadn't authorized its removal. The post had become the most viewed in history, and it made no sense for someone to remove it.
Intrigued, he dialed Morton's number, instructing him, "Find out who removed the most viral post about what I said and why."
Morton replied, "Yes, sir," perplexed about who might have the authority to remove such a post, aside from Patrick himself.
Meanwhile, Jane received a message from Anthony confirming that the task was complete. With a sense of satisfaction, she responded, "Good! I knew you wouldn't fail."
Curious about Anthony's remark, Jane felt puzzled by his insinuation that only someone like Patrick could control her. Annoyed, she texted back, "Mind your own business, Anthony."
Turning her attention back to her laptop, she discovered that there were no more news articles about her, and she continued her work.
The progress of the Ice and Fire advertisement had been hampered by Monica's stunt, and Jane needed to expedite the process. After arranging with Osborn and Maria for another shoot, she contacted Bruce to schedule the press conference. With everything in place, the product launch was imminent.
Time passed swiftly, and it was only when Patrick called her that Jane realized how late it had become.
"Can we leave now?" Patrick's voice sounded through the phone.
Checking the time, Jane saw that they had exceeded working hours. She agreed, saying, "Okay."
Patrick, now behind the wheel, focused on the road. Jane settled into the passenger seat and gazed out the window.
However, Patrick's phone rang suddenly. It was Morton calling. Patrick put on his wireless earphone to answer the call, asking, "What's up?"
Morton informed him, "Sir, I've just discovered who removed the post."
"It was taken down by a well-known hacker known as Anthony."
"Anthony?" Patrick's brow furrowed. He had heard of this mysterious individual before. "Do you know why he did it?"
Morton replied, "No, sir, I'm still investigating."
"I think he was merely showing off."
