Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter 1066

With Hilton Group involved, the news soon went viral. It popped in many users’ news-feeds as it was shared again and again.

Of course, it was Debbie who was behind the story. She paid a lot of money to make sure this was the top trending topic. And she also paid for some gossip rags to spread the scandal.

James’ scandal spread like wildfire on the Internet. He was soon the name on everyone’s lips as the gossip surrounding him was juicy. The head office and branch companies of Hilton Group were swamped with calls. Carlos’ fans and many media outlets were to blame.

All those calls were to petition the board to remove James and reinstate Carlos as the rightful CEO.

Those who knew what was really going on criticized James for snatching

Carlos’ position while he was in a coma. Carlos had been back to work for some time, but James still held onto the reins of power.

The PR department of Hilton Group was having a hell of a time protecting the company’s good name. The video of James’ affair was already all over the Internet. X-rated material was strictly prohibited on the Internet. Good thing, or the person behind it would have uploaded the whole video. And they wouldn’t bother pixelating it, either.

By the time Carlos got wind of it, it had already been shared to several different media sites. It had been online a whole five minutes.

The scandal was spreading.

Carlos knew this wasn’t normal, and someone had to be behind it. And that person’s purpose was obvious-to ruin James.

After glancing over the news, he ordered Frankie in a calm voice, “Tear those articles down. I want that scandal quashed. Give fair warning to those online gossip rags. Whoever posts this again will have their credentials yanked and be banned from the Internet.”

“Yes, Carlos. But there’s another issue. The phone lines are jammed with callers demanding an explanation. They want one from James,”

Frankie reported honestly.

Carlos thought about it for a bit. Then, he said, “I see. I’ll take care of it. In the meantime, find out who’s behind this.”

“Yes, Carlos!” Frankie nodded and left to carry out Carlos’ orders.

At the CEO’s office

Bang! A teacup was thrown against the wall. It shattered, the shards skittering across the floor.

“That bitch! It must be Debbie! Damn you! The arrogance?! You dare set me up?“ James snarled in a fit of rage. At this point, he finally understood the woman came on to him that night was a trap, and Debbie was the one behind it. And he walked right into her clutches.

The assistant next to James was frightened, his face pale. He unbuttoned the top button, loosened his tie, and gulped. But he managed to collect himself and continued reporting to his boss, “Carlos’ already issued takedown notices. As soon as he got involved, it’s started to die down. We haven’t seen anyone ballsy enough to repost it.

But the phone Lines are still jammed. They want you to give an explanation in person.” ‘Or more precisely, admit to the affair, ‘ the assistant thought to himself.

“Carlos has it handled?’ James mused.

A few minutes later, he hurried to the general manager’s office.

Carlos was talking on the phone with Tabitha.

“Don’t worry, Mom. We’re all good here.”

James entered hurriedly, knocking as he opened the door.
