Sophia was surprised that people were standing out.
But after a few minutes, these comments were gone, and new comments took place.
"Nonsense! I studied in Colin but never knew that. Sophia was a warm-hearted girl and was kind to everyone."
"Bullshit! You chased Sophia and she ignored you, and you said she was your girlfriend. Are you kidding me?"
"I studied at Colin. There was no such thing. Sophia is too good for him. Boys who chased her could form an army. Who does he think he is?"
***
Sophia didn't get it. What was wrong with these people? These were lies.
But soon, she realized that it must be the Internet water army hired by Albert. Was he hiring the Internet water army on Christmas? He did move fast.
Anyway, Albert would not give Charles a chance to refute. Charles wanted his alumni to prove it, while Albert hired the Internet water army to refute them. Even though there were Charles' alumni, they were at most thousands of people, and less than a tenth of them would speak for him while the Internet water army might be thousands of people. They were professional and could comment all the time. Could the alumni do that?
Charles could prove it unless he could provide new evidence like some naked photos. But he didn't have that. The young Sophia was into Charles but didn't do anything. Besides, Charles just wanted her money and didn't want an intimate relationship with her. So, they just ate and hung out together and had no further development.
Charles regretted not taking advantage of Sophia's obsession with him to take photos of them kissing or something else. She would have agreed then. But at that time, he just took her as a useless little girl and did not like her. So, he never had a desire to kiss her. There were several times she tried to hold his hand, but he shook her off.
Sophia took the photos on his phone. Charles felt they were useless and deleted them. A few days ago, he happened to see them on the online storage system. They might be useful, he thought. Then he downloaded them.
He was fretting when his cell phone rang. He took a look at the number. It was from Nina.
He pressed denial, but soon, the phone rang again. Then he just blocked the number.
Since the show, he had gained a lot of fans for his talent and looks. The women who came to him were much richer than Nina. The love birds' drama was no longer necessary for him. Actually, he didn't like the woman at all. She was not as good looking or as good-tempered as Sophia. Had it not been for her money, he would have ignored her.
The phone rang again. He looked at it. It was an unknown number. He doubted that Nina changed a number to call him, but he still answered it for fear of missing something important.
It was a man's voice, "Is that Charles?"
Charles stayed, "Who's that?"
"You don't need to know who I am. What you should know is, you're against the Pearson Group. With your background, do you think you can beat the Pearson Group? You'd better stop and apologize."
Charles thought of it after Chubby posting messages. But he also considered it a chance to expand his popularity.
Even though he might offend the Pearson Group, he wanted to seize the opportunity. He was famous enough that everyone would know him in a few days.
"What I do is reasonable! I'm telling the truth!" Charles said, "There are laws in this world, you know. I know you're rich, but you can't break the law. Try, kill me!"
"Reasonable? You're a creep! You won't come to a good end! What a shame!"
Then, he hung up.

"That's it." Ryan reported to Albert in injured tones on the phone, "I threatened him. But this shameless man didn't take it, and he talked about laws or something."
Albert said peacefully, "I see. That's it. He has no evidence to prove what he said anyway. His words would only be regarded as a joke."
Ryan said, "I'm so pissed off. He can't bully Sophia like this. I'm so angry that I want to kick his ass till he can't stand up."
Albert couldn't help but laugh. His assistant seemed to be even angrier than he was.
"Forget it. Violence doesn't solve any problem. And he might get something to talk about. Tell all the partners not to hire this person," said Albert.
Ryan was shocked and realized that his boss was the most poisonous.
Almost every major company had worked with the Pearson Group. Even if some had not, they didn't dare to hire Charles. Hiring him was against the Pearson Group. Everyone knew it. In this way, Charles might not find a job in the country after graduation. Was this forcing him to go abroad and not come back?
Speaking of which, there were many companies abroad working with the Pearson Group.
Ryan asked, "Shall I ask the Super Quiz to eliminate him? We're the sponsor. It's a piece of cake for them to find an excuse to kick out a contestant."
Albert smiled, "No. In that case, Sophia won't have fun."

Sophia thought, once again, that the show was finally coming to an end. What she did not expect, however, was that the next day an even more startling reversal would occur.
What a big play! It could be a movie.
A marketing account posted bed photos of Charles, the scale was amazing. The key part of his body was covered with mosaics, so as the girl's face, so that only Charles's face could be seen.
The message explained everything. "The picture was from the video, which was taken a week ago. You can see a pimple on Charles' left face. It appeared on his recent twitter selfies. The pimple usually breaks within a few days. So it means that the two pictures were taken close in time. As you can see, the girl in the picture is heavier and shorter than Sophia. To keep her privacy, we won't tell her name. Anyway, she's not Sophia. The man said Sophia cheated on him. But on the other hand, he slept with another woman. What a good actor! It's a pity that he doesn't major in acting. But at present, is the sex play not examined in the acting major exam?"
Even though there were mosaics, the scale of the photo still made her shy. And she didn't want to see the scumbag's body.
Although the girl's face was blocked, Sophia could tell from the figure that it was Nina.
This woman was perfect.
