Carl had never thought that so much would happen within such a short time. He had simply gone into the woods for a magazine photoshoot, and after he left the woods into areas with reception, his phone was abuzz with news about Sonia.

That woman Tina actually accused Sonia of causing her harm and even tried to cancel her on the Internet.

Carl decided that he wouldn’t let anyone off the hook that easily, not even the reporters, the netizens, and the culprit who splashed acid at Sonia.

Sonia could hear the suppressed anger in Carl’s voice, so she understood that the events which happened to her had caused this usually gentle young man to fly into a rage. She hastily replied, “Don’t worry, Carl. I’m all right.”

“Are you really okay? The acid—”

“It didn’t touch me. Many reporters saw it at the scene too, and you probably can find a video online. Just watch it if you’re not convinced. I’m really okay,” Sonia said, shaking her head.

Carl lowered his gaze. “I know, I watched it, but it’s just that… I’m still worried.”

“Are you still worried now?” Sonia smiled slightly.

Carl gave a hum. “No, I’m okay now. I’m glad to know that you’re okay. Leave the rest to me; I’ll get it sorted out.”

“Huh?” Sonia was slightly stunned. “What do you mean by that, Carl? What do you intend to do?”

Carl narrowed his eyes, which were void of any cheer. “You’ll know soon enough, Sonia. I’ll make everyone who hurt you pay for their crimes!”

With that, he hung up.

“Carl? Hello, Carl?” Sonia called his name, but there was no response, so she quickly looked at the display on her phone.

Seeing the home screen on the phone display, she finally realized that Carl had hung up long ago. “This kid…”

For some unknown reason, Sonia felt a little uneasy. She had an ominous feeling that Carl’s words were hinting at some huge trouble in the near future.

She hoped she was just thinking too much.

“What are you thinking about? What’s with the long face?” Toby’s deep voice sounded in her ears, laced with concern.

Sonia put her phone face down. “It’s nothing. How did you get in? The reporters—”
