Chapter 1377

When Rita saw that Sonia was fine, she secretly sighed in relief. “President Reed, I shall leave now.”

“Wait,” Sonia called out, promptly stopping the retreating figure. She continued, “I told you before that I’d talk to Charles about Daphne. I discussed this with him over the new year. He didn’t want to let her go, but you don’t have to worry about her safety. He won’t do anything to her.”

Rita was exhilarated to hear that. “Oh, that’s great! I always worried that President Lane might hurt her. You know how he treated her before.”

She did not need to explain Charles’ behavior, for it was widely understood.

Sonia rubbed her temples. “I had a long talk with him. I believe he will eventually realize that he had been treating Daphne wrongly. By then, she will be free. That’s why I didn’t force him to let her go. Even if I did, he wouldn’t accept the decision, and I might even push him to make some extreme ones. That’s why I want to give him some time to cool down and think through his actions. During this time, he will not lay a finger on Daphne.”

“Anyway, as long as President Lane doesn’t hurt her, I have no other worries. The rest are their privacy. I don’t think we’re in a position to interfere. If we cross a line and make him feel like the entire world is against him, he might be pushed to an extreme.”

Sonia replied, “You’re very right.”
