Chapter 1365
Rosa immediately looked towards the door. "Ned, is that you? Are you back?"
The person at the door turned to Rosa upon hearing her question. "Ms. Reese, I'm not Mr. Sowle. I'm here to pick up Mr. Sowle's clothes. He's been very busy these days and is about to leave on a business trip."
Rosa was taken aback. "A business trip?"
"Yes."
"Where is he going? We haven't resolved our issues yet. How can he just leave?" Rosa was solely focused on herself.
If Joe left, it would likely be days before she saw him again.
Calvin pondered how much things could change in just a few days. He was somewhat speechless. The company was in a critical period, yet Rosa still didn't seem to grasp the urgency of the situation.
However, Joe had said there was no need to keep this from her. If she asked, he should answer directly. "He's going to Jipsburg. The group there is trying to acquire our company."
"Jipsburg?" Upon hearing the name, Rosa felt a jolt of anxiety.
She had a serious psychological aversion to that place. Calvin nodded before quickly starting to gather Joe's clothes.
There was no need to pack too much. They could buy whatever they needed once they arrived.
"Has Ned mentioned when he'll be back? We can't postpone our marriage any further. Maybe if we get married now, all the company's problems will be resolved."
Rosa had little understanding of the company's operations and had not considered working there in the past three years.
All she wanted was to become a wealthy socialite. She would go for beauty treatments, meet for tea, or do some light exercise every day.
Calvin looked at Rosa with a complex expression. "Ms. Reese, I know I shouldn't say too much, but you might want to pay more attention to the news."
"What news?" Rosa was puzzled, unsure what he meant.
She pondered what news could possibly be important.novelbin
At this point, Calvin didn't want to say more.
Time was limited for him.
While Calvin organized some of Joe's clothes, Rosa began browsing the news. She entered keywords related to herself, Ned, or Hawking Technologies, and a flood of articles and rumors appeared.
The most eye-catching one questioned the legitimacy of her depression diagnosis. The psychologist who had diagnosed her was exposed for accepting money to issue fake certificates.
Her name was among the revealed
et
list of patients who had received false diagnoses. Several psychologists took this opportunity to come forward, raising various doubts about her depression and even suggesting that her suicide attempt wasn't genuine.
Multiple drones had captured her expressions during that time, leading to a myriad of interpretations of her micro-expressions.
Some former friends even
anonymously criticized her, alleging that she was two-faced. They cited instances from the past, including her claims that she had spent her savings and borrowed money when Ned had his car accident to save him.
While it was true that she borrowed money, Ned later repaid it in double. Her friends felt that after Ned's car accident, he was particularly considerate, but Rosa hadn'tused her own money to save him.
Instead, she was living off the salary Ned provided her.
Rosa flung her phone across the room. Her eyes were red with anger.
"Ridiculous! I knew those so-called friends would turn on me. They're just jealous and trying to tarnish my reputation." Calvin happened to be walking by the door with some items when he heard her shout. He couldn't help but shake his head. Rosa was clearly panicking. In addition to the gossip from her former friends, her depression had become a hot topic in the media.
