Chapter 42
It was hard to tell Ben’s mood from his badly scarred face.
But at that moment, the secretary saw his face suddenly darken. Obviously, he was riled up.
“Luke?” Ben said coldly, rage pulsing through his veins.
“Yes.” The secretary spoke rather timidly.
He thought, “It made sense that Ben was furious.
Starting the business with chips, the company was a global leader in electronic information.
It meant that the Programming Department mattered the most in the Storm. Group.
Only when the Programming Department produced more fruitful scientific results. could the Storm Group continue to gain an edge on competition.
As the head of the Programming Department, Luke was Ben’s trusted subordinate.
Yet Luke had lured a naive girl to have sex with him. He betrayed Ben’s trust and there was a reason for Ben’s irritation.
Good luck with that, Luke.”
The secretary sighed inside.
Ben gritted his teeth, “What are these based on?”
The secretary hurriedly answered, “Well, there is a post on the Staff BBS.””
“Send it to me. Now.”
The secretary sent the webpage to Ben immediately.
Ben frowned with anger after reading it.
How foolish and stupid Susan was!
To be admitted to the company easily, she should never have turned to Luke.

He was the CEO of the company as well as her husband, the one who could give her what she wanted,
Putting his hand on the keyboard, Ben quickly typed.
Though somewhat curious, the secretary didn’t dare to check what Ben was doing.
He could only speculate, “Ben couldn’t help but respond to the post, right?
Well, it seems that this really caused the crowd to be angry.”
Ben had turned off the computer as the secretary made a wild guess, “Done.”
The secretary wondered what was done.
He picked up his phone with curiosity and wanted to click on the ‘favorite‘ post.
But he found that the post was gone.
He thought, “What’s wrong with that post!
Something wrong with my phone?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The secretary kept clicking on the link, but the link was not valid.
“Sir… The post was deleted.” The secretary said hastily.
Ben glanced at him, “So what?”
The secretary soon realized it, “Ben, you…”
Ben sneered, “I don’t mind some anonymous complaints. But this post is totally different. It’s immoral. It slanders others, which has violated the laws. Therefore, it should be deleted as soon as possible.”
The secretary was even more confused.
He thought, “You don’t have to do it yourself.
It seems that you are anxious.”
“I will go to the Programming Department myself. Arrange that.” Ben ordered.
The secretary froze.
Ben glanced at him, his face void of emotion, “Any problems?”

“Nope.” Startled, the secretary delayed the five–minute meeting till half an hour
later.
At the Programming Department.
The crowd fixed an angry look at Roy.
Though there was no direct evidence, they assumed it was Roy who was behind it.
Roy was panicking first but soon she calmed down and acted recklessly.
At this time, Luke walked in.
“Luke.” The crowd greeted him.
Luke seemed to be not affected by the post, judging from his emotion.
He said flatly, “I believe you’ve all read it.”
“Yep.” The public nodded embarrassedly.
Luke took a glance at Roy.
Roy looked away with a guilty look.
Luke sneered.
He explained emotionlessly, “Such a rumor has impacted Susan and me greatly, but it’s not that hard to address it.”
It was simple, indeed.
All were gazing at Luke quietly, waiting for his next words.
“Post the grades,” said Tom calmly.
The grades would lay the truth bare and stop the rumour.
“Really?” Roy questioned. “Wouldn’t it turn into a bigger controversy?”
Roy thought Susan got a rather low grade and Luke didn’t want her to be ashamed.
“Don’t worry.” Luke gave Roy a faint smile.
Others cast a weird look at Roy.
It might cause some discussion if everyone knew the grades.
Roy had thought the grades would never help Susan out.
Not knowing what Luke meant, Roy affected a calmness she did not feel. “Alright.”
“Go and announce the grades on the forum.” Luke randomly asked an employee to
do so.
“Got it.” The man quickly clicked the Staff BBS.
He said in surprise after he found the post deleted, “Luke, the post has been deleted and there are more people who make suspicious and anonymous
comments on it.”
Luke frowned, “It doesn’t matter. Just post it.”
“Okay.” The man responded.
He was about to edit.
At this time, someone said the boss was coming.
Susan imagined, “Our boss?
Ben!”
Upon hearing Ben’s name, Susan panicked.
“Why? What is Ben doing here?
It’s said that ordinary employees could hardly get the chance to see him.”
“Ben knew it?” Luke frowned, “That will be great. I intended to report this to him. Let’s put it all on the table.”
Susan paled more.
She got more worried as she thought, “Ben probably came for the post.
That means he has read it.
Oh my! He has seen me as a scheming woman who caters to him for my own sake. He has read the post. What does he think about me?
Will he think that I’m–not only a scheming whore, but also a shameless bitch?”
Susan trembled and sweated with fear.
She was reluctant to see Ben right now.
She didn’t have the nerve to do so.
Susan gritted her teeth and stood up, “Luke, I feel sick in my stomach.”
Luke was stunned for a moment, “Susan, hang in there. Let’s tell the truth to Ben first.”
“I…” Selena blanched.
She knew both Luke and her were innocent and that the truth could be clear to all.
But what if Ben didn’t believe it?
Although the probability was tiny.
He might turn a deaf ear to her explanation.
Susan was somewhat concerned.
More importantly, she wasn’t prepared to see Ben in the company.
Noting Susan’s uneasiness, Roy thought Susan was nervous due to guilt. So she held Susan’s hand tightly and said with a smile, “Susan, just explain it to Ben. He would give you justice.”
Susan’s being seized with panic confirmed Roy’s belief.
Roy couldn’t come up with other reasons for Susan to be guilty.
Therefore, she held Susan’s hand tightly, not letting her get away.
“Roy.” Susan planned to shake Roy’s hand away.
But she failed.
And Ben arrived.
