Chapter 136 Recording Edited Tiffany and Emery all turned to Sophia, confusion written all over their faces.
Sophia didn't even bother saying hi to Emery. Instead, she whipped out her phone and played a recording that was going viral online.
Tiffany's voice cthrough the phone.
Tiffany frowned. She recognized sof the words as things she had said to Ralph, but it was obvious that a lot of it had been twisted and edited.
"Tiffany, what's going on?" Emery asked, looking worried.
With a cold expression, Tiffany explained her meeting with Ralph and how he had started the conversation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I think he planned this from the start, trying to get info from you. Tiffany, I can't believe Ralph used you! I need to confront him. If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to that project with the Larson Corporation. I thought he was a decent guy!" Emery's face turned red with anger, and she started to leave, but Sophia grabbed her arm. "Going to confront him now won't help. The recording is already out and trending. People are saying Leon is heartless and untrustworthy. They're stirring up public opinion, claiming that anyone who works with Leon will be abandoned and gain nothing. But why don't they consider that the Cooper Group has successfully completed many projects without any issues?" Sophia finished, and Tiffany stayed silent for a long time.
She hadn't expected another problem to pop up right after learning about Ulysses. It was clear someone was deliberately causing trouble, trying to create chaos while Leon was unconscious. Even if Leon woke up, he'd be affected by public opinion.
"They only see what they want to see. They don't care about what happened before. This recording is all my fault. I shouldn't have trusted Ralph." Tiffany's eyes lowered. She hadn't expected her words to put Leon in such a tough spot.

"Mommy, that person is just bad. He took advantage of your kindness. We won't play with him anymore. Daddy isn't like what they're saying. And Daddy also saved Flora," Sam said, trying to reassure Tiffany.
Tiffany nodded after hearing this. Leon had indeed been distant with her before, but he was never as heartless and selfish as the recording suggested. He was someone who would give everything for the company and work hard for the Cooper Family. He wasn't as bad as people were saying on the internet.
"Mommy, Daddy is really great. He always takes care ofand never complains. Even when I'm sick, he stays withand attends video meetings without missing anything," Barry spoke up for Leon. He had been with Leon the longest and knew how much Leon had done for everyone.
Flora also nodded obediently and said softly, "Don't listen to the bad people, Mommy. Our family is the best, and Daddy is my hero!" The kids' words comforted Tiffany. Their pure thoughts and genuine affection for Leon showed that they truly appreciated everything he did, unaffected by outside opinions. Tiffany wouldn't be swayed either. She just wanted Leon to wake up soon.
But they needed to clear up the recording to prevent more damage to the company. If the investors bought into the rumors, it would be a nightmare to manage.

After all, if her company stood out to back Leon, then there was hope.
"It won't help. One person's voice is too weak," Tiffany shook her head. She knew that once something spread online, it was hard to control.
Plus, too many unnecessary factors had already cup since Leon's accident. Executives and employees had resigned, and many investors had pulled out of their contracts. The situation was changing every moment. Even if they clarified things now, it might not stop the company's stock from tanking.
"Tiffany, but we can't just let this go. Ralph dared to use you; he's our enemy now!" Sophia grabbed Tiffany's hand, her eyes flashing with anger.

Tiffany had a plan. After discussing it with the others, it was already noon. Emery went out to grab lunch, and Sophia went to the next room to stay with the three kids, leaving Tiffany alone in Leon's hospital room.
Tiffany scrolled through the trending topic comments, all mocking Leon. During this time, she got a call from Grant, who said the company's stock was plummeting, and even the investors who had agreed to renew their contracts were now backing out. Ronald was so angry that he felt chest pain, and Tiffany persuaded him to rest at home.

Tiffany's face instantly turned cold. She didn't even look back.
Ralph walked over silently, standing behind Tiffany, full of guilt. "I'm sorry. I didn't want this to happen..." Ralph began.
Tiffany didn't waste words on him.
She stood up, turned around, and slapped Ralph hard across the face. ed Ralph h N He didn't resist or dodge. The sound of the slap echoed in the room, and Ralph's face turned visibly red. "Tiffany, if this makes you feel better, you can keep hitting me," Ralph said.
"Ralph, I thought of you as a friend. Despite the conflicts between the Larson Corporation and the Cooper Group, I never questioned your m motives But never anticipated that you would manipulatelike this. You were aware that this would draw a lot of attention. Did you consider how it would affect my kids? What will their classmates ask? Will they face ridicule?" Tiffany clenched her fists as she spoke.
She wasn't afraid of getting hurt herself. Her main concern was the kids. The kids didn't overthink they just believed what they heard. Ralph felt even more guilty after hearing Tiffany's words. He had only intended to target Leon, not involve the children. "Tiffany, I didn't mean to..." But before he could finish, Tiffany interrupted him with a question. "Are you involved with Ulysses too?"
