The comments reached Sonia’s ears as well, but she just smiled and didn’t take them to heart because she had heard such things countless times.

Confused, Carl looked at her smiling face and asked, “Aren’t you angry, Sonia?”

She took a sip of juice and replied, “There’s nothing to be angry about.”

“They’re speaking so badly about you.” Narrowing his eyes, Carl scanned the gossip-mongers as though he wanted to memorize their faces.

Chuckling, she answered, “Just let them say whatever they want. I can’t possibly seal their mouths, can I? Furthermore, I can’t be angry at so many people.”

“But I am!” A spiteful look flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared the next second. These people who insulted Sonia… I won’t let any of them off!

Not knowing what was on his mind, Sonia patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s alright, I know you feel unjustified for me, but you shouldn’t be bothered since I’m not even angry about it. Just let them be. They’re simply a bunch of gossip-mongers, and we don’t have to stoop to their level.”

Grinning, Carl nodded. “Alright.”

“I’m going to get another glass of juice,” she said and placed her empty glass on the side before heading off to the drinks corner, leaving Carl and Charles alone.

Resting an arm on Carl’s shoulder, Charles asked in a hushed voice, “Rascal, are you going to do something to these people?”

Throwing his arm off his shoulder, Carl replied coldly, “Of course. I have to teach them a lesson since they have the nerves to insult Sonia.”

“I’m with you on this, but don’t overdo it. If they become suspicious of Sonia—”

“I got it,” Carl interrupted while looking at him.

Charles patted him lightly on his shoulder and said, “Good, Sonia’s coming back now. Don’t reveal anything.”

“Yeah,” he muttered as Sonia came over with a glass of mango juice in her hand.
