Meanwhile, over at Martin Group, Joe had just wrapped up a meeting when
Paul knocked and entered.
“Mr. Martin, there’s been some trouble involving Mrs. Martin’s brother. Would you like to know more?” Paul had overheard company chatter about Charles. and Felicia and felt it necessary to inform Joe.
Joe was always swamped with work, so he definitely didn’t keep up with entertainment news or care about it. But since this involved Skylar’s brother, it was important to inform him.
Paul believed that Skylar was likely already aware of the situation and was probably anxious about how to help Charles resolve it.
Joe looked up and simply said, “Go ahead.”
Paul then recounted the entire situation between Charles and Felicia. He didn’t
know Charles well, so he wasn’t sure if the rumors were true.
Besides the photographer, only the two people involved knew what really happened. Now, Felicia was allowing the situation to spiral, and Charles was being overwhelmed by various accusations and online attacks.
The truth had become blurred, with the general public’s perception being manipulated by different new stories.
After listening, Joe glanced at his phone. There were no missed calls or messages from Skylar.
That alone signaled trouble.
But Skylar hadn’t come to him for help.
“Get someone to investigate this matter,” Joe instructed after a brief pause.
Paul was about to leave and make arrangements when Joe stopped him again. “Wait, have someone prepare a PR strategy first.”
The truth of the situation wasn’t the most important thing.
Joe had met Charles and didn’t think he was the type to engage in such underhanded tactics. Someone who wanted to build a career based on a

genuine skill wouldn’t take shortcuts.
Paul was shocked. He realized that Joe’s regard for Skylar was growing. He was so protective of Skylar’s family that he didn’t even need to check the facts. He was already ready to defend them.
Paul admired Joe’s selfless actions, but he also believed that Joe could
benefit from not always acting anonymously.
Fortunately, Joe had Paul, his versatile assistant, who could step in during
critical moments.
Paul set out to find Sarah and begin the public relations efforts, understanding that it would take time to address the situation from start to finish.
Next, he tried calling Skylar. For some reason, the call went unanswered. She was probably busy and couldn’t pick up.
Paul thought for a moment and left a message on Skylar’s WhatsApp, “Mr.
Martin has seen the news and asked me to consult with the PR team for a
solution.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Martin is genuinely committed to helping. Our PR team will do everything they can to salvage Charles‘ career.”
Meanwhile, Adele closely monitored the situation on her phone as she entered
the room.
Felicia smirked as Adele walked in. “See? My position in the entertainment industry is solid. My fan base is huge, and I’m the victim here. Many are rallying to support me.
“Charles will beg me soon, and even Skylar might come to me. I’ve never suffered such humiliation since that incident with Skylar. I’ll show them that
I’m not to be messed with.”
Adele replied, “Your fan base has grown by one million in just a few hours. We’re also getting numerous collaboration offers. This situation is entirely in your favor.
“You could even use this to expose Skylar’s family to Joe, and by positioning yourself as a victim, you could make Mr. Martin pity you. It’s a win–win. Charles is a fool!”
3/3
Felicia thought about Charles‘ attitude toward her.
Aside from Joe’s indifference, Charles was the only man who had treated her with such disregard.
