The God of War
Chapter 142
Emma was embarrassed, but she was angry. He could have sworn that he had not betrayed Thomas at all. But where did this photo come from?
She felt so sad that she almost cried. He held the phone while his body trembled. Thomas took off his coat and covered his wife's body with it.
"Don't worry. I will definitely take care of it for you," he said gently.
"Everybody knows about this now. How can you take care of that?"
"Emma, trust me."
Emma bit her lower lip while looking at Thomas. When she could not take it anymore, she lowered her head in Thomas' arms and began to cry.
Thomas comforted her while scrolling news articles to the bottom. He stared at the source of this news at the bottom of the page. [Rafferty Cook, editor of Void Interaction Media Corporation.]
Half an hour later, Thomas drives a car and takes Emma to the Void Interaction Media Corporation building.
It was a standard office building. Each floor has about four companies and Void Interaction Media Corporation is located in room B301 on the 14th floor.
They found room B301 on the 14th floor using an elevator.
"Void Interaction Media Corporation's. Here it is."
Thomas pressed the bell.
Dong ding!
The door opened and they both entered. The receptionist came and asked, "May I know who you're looking for?"
"I'm looking for an editor, Rafferty Cook."
"Please go to the living room and wait a minute."
After a while, Rafferty walked into the living room. He was a muscular man, who wore glasses. He seems to be in his thirties.
Rafferty looked at Thomas and Emma and did not know who these two people were.
"May I know who you are?" he politely asked.
When Rafferty heard this question, he understood what was going on, especially when he saw Emma sitting on the side.
He knew more clearly what they wanted to do. He then put on a sly smile. He crossed his legs and calmly replied, "Right, I wrote and published this news. Is something wrong?"
Thomas said in a cold tone, "Your news is fake. You make up stories. I'd like you to delete this news and apologize to the public."
"Deleting?
"Apardon me?
"Ha huh! Are you kidding me?"
Rafferty lit a cigarette. He smoked while speaking, "This news has been published and everyone has seen it. Do you think it will be OK after you delete this news? Will everyone forget it? It's impossible."
"In addition, I received this news from a special source. I didn't hear it from the rumors. There are even photos as proof. You said I made up a story? How can you say such a thing?"
Thomas said, "As an editor, I believe that you should know very clearly about this field. Don't you know if this photo is Photoshopped or not?"
Rafferty narrowed his eyes.
It was true that he had worked in this field for many years, so he could tell that the photo was in photoshop when it was sent. The level of photoshop is very high, impeccably.
However, it was enough to outwit outsiders. For an insider like Rafferty, he could instantly discern its authenticity.
But, what's the matter?
Even if he knew that the photo was fake and the story was fabricated, he was willing to publish it as long as it could attract attention and the news could spread.
Rafferty said, "Listen, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm telling you that I won't erase the news and I won't even apologize. If you keep making a fuss here, please don't blame me for not reminding you that I'm going to keep reporting yourself and slandering you even further."
In the age of website traffic, is conscience important?
Seriate......
