Chapter 41

Sophia Laurent was taken back to the Lowell family at thirteen. They raised her for ten whole years. Now that she's grown wings, she dares to bite the hand that fed her?

Emily Lowell's fan group exploded with outrage.

"We found out! Sophia Laurent is the chief secretary at Lowell Entertainment!"

"Pathetic. Getting a job at her own family's company? That's pure nepotism."

"If the Lowells hadn't taken her in, she'd still be picking through trash in the slums!"

On the live stream, Emily and Nathan Lowell were sharing intimate moments. Their subtle expressions of distress instantly ignited the fans' fury.

The angry mob stormed Sophia's social media accounts.

"Sophia! Have you no conscience?"

"Buying things for your mother is basic decency. How dare you sue her?"

"Ungrateful wretch! They should've smothered you at birth!"

Sophia was currently handling transition work at Pearl Group, completely unaware of the online storm.

When the target remained silent, the enraged fans escalated their attacks. They turned their fury toward Lowell Entertainment's official account.

"Fire Sophia! She doesn't deserve to work there!"

"Nepotistic trash. How is she qualified to be chief secretary?"

"Partners will cancel contracts if they know you employ such people!"

The flood of hate comments nearly crashed the company's social media page.

Soon, Lowell Entertainment issued an official statement:

"Sophia Laurent has left Lowell Entertainment and is currently employed by Pearl Group. Please refrain from further commentary."

This announcement only fueled the fans' frenzy.

"See! Even her own family doesn't want her anymore!"

"She must have done something shady!"

"Let's take this to Pearl Group's page!"

The digital mob immediately redirected their attack.

Pearl Group CEO's Office.

Oliver Granger watched the hate-filled screen with a cold smirk.

His fingers flew across the keyboard as he personally typed the response:

"Sophia Laurent is Pearl Group's employee. We're keeping her. Don't like it? Call the police."

The unexpected clapback left everyone speechless.

"Is Pearl Group insane?"

"Birds of a feather flock together!"

"Did their PR team get hacked?"

Neutral observers found the exchange highly entertaining.

"First time seeing a company with actual backbone!"

"That reply was savage!"

"Gen Z really out here revolutionizing corporate culture!"
