Chapter 221 Situation
1/4
The elevator crawled upward, finally stopping at the 21st floor.
Arthur relaxed his furrowed brow slightly, yet his aura remained as sharp as ever.
Delia hurried over and nearly jumped out of her skin when she spotted Arthur standing at the entrance.
“Mr. Harrison,” she greeted him, her voice tinged with
nervousness.
Arthur cast her a dispassionate glance and asked, “Do you live. here?”
Delia replied honestly, “Yes, I live right below Mrs. Harrison.”
Arthur let out a derisive snort, the smoke from his cigarette curling into the air, intensifying the frostiness in his expression.
Delia felt the urge to escape and quickly pressed the elevator button to head upstairs, thinking, “Mr. Harrison’s is so intimidating…”
As the night deepened, Charlotte finally drifted into a peaceful sleep, only to be jolted awake by the shrill ring of her phone.
Groggy and irritable, she answered, “Who is it?!”

“Open the door.” A cold voice came on the other end.
Charlotte, still half–asleep, didn’t recognize the voice and snapped back, “No way! I’m trying to sleep here. Disrupting someone’s sleep is sinful!”
With that, she hung up.

Arthur stood at the door, staring at the disconnected call with a frown deepening on his face, irritation flickering in his eyes.
After a moment’s thought, he sent a message to Grace and turned to leave.
The next morning, Charlotte woke up early, instinctively reaching for her phone to check messages. When she saw the call log from last night, she shot up in bed, alarmed.
“Arthur called me in the middle of the night?”
She racked her brain, feeling a mix of confusion and irritation.
“What’s wrong with him?
Just as she was about to get out of bed, her phone vibrated violently–Tina was calling.
“Hello?” Charlotte answered, still a bit disoriented.
“Charlene, we’ve got a situation! You’re trending!” Tina’s voice

was urgent.
“What?!”
Charlotte’s heart raced.

She quickly opened the trending topics, her eyes widening at the sight of several headlines like “Charlene’s Photography Skills,” “Sophia Injured,” and “Charlene Attacks.”
She had a Twitter account, and logging in revealed a flood of notifications.
With no time to waste, Charlotte clicked on the trending topics one by one.
It turned out that a series of her photos of Sophia had leaked online, sparking a heated debate among netizens. In the early hours of the morning, Sophia’s assistant had tweeted a scathing message, accusing Charlene of poor photography skills and maliciously injuring Sophia, complete with a graphic photo of Sophia’s arm, marred with bloody scratches.
Charlotte’s face paled as she clicked on the images–these were the discarded shots from her camera that had gone missing!
The comments section was a frenzy, filled with outrage from Sophia’s fans, who were hurling insults and criticisms at her.
Tina was fuming. “How can they be so clueless? Can’t they see those weren’t the final edits? It’s like they’re all brain–dead!”

“Let’s reach out to Sophia’s team and see if she can still shoot today,” Charlotte said, her mind racing.
Tina sighed in agreement, frustration evident in her tone.
Despite the chaos, they still had a job to do.
After a quick wash–up, Charlotte’s phone rang again–it was Diana, who sounded utterly exhausted.
“I’m caught up on everything. What happened with those discarded shots?” Diana asked.
Charlotte recounted the events of the previous day.
Diana replied, “Someone must have planted something on your camera to remotely access your photos.”
