Chapter 262: Chapter 263

Andrew analyzed thoughtfully, “White did this because they wanted to eliminate all their rivals. They see us us a threat, you know. They can monopolize the industry if they have no competitors.”

Andrew was telling the truth: business competitions were indeed cruel “Do you believe we can always rely on Tony‘s solution.”

Andrew, who had always been hesitant to make lim conclusions about things he wasn‘t sure about, replied truthfully, “I have no idea.”

However, as the two of them were discussing a better solution, someone entered Anna‘s office and said, “Oh, no! Miss Gabriel!

Someone posted a long weer telling everyone that you‘re the president of Lemon, and many people retweeted it!”

Anna stood up right away. She hadn‘t expected this to happen so soon alter their emergency meeting. Andrew was right, it was all too much of a coincidence, she thought.

As a result, she convened another meeting with the entire stall.

The article was titled “Gabriel‘s heiress Anna Gabriel transferred the group‘s property and opened a new company.”

The person who tweeted it was a local activist and had a lot of followers. So, in just one afternoon, the article became the most popular hashtag. Anna skimmed the article and discovered that it was mainly about three things.

To get everyone‘s attention, the person mentioned at the start that a worker was planning to jump from the roof of the Gabriel Group headquarters half a month ago. The second was that the Gabriel Group was in financial trouble, resulting in thousands of people‘s layoffs. Finally, that activist summarized these two events in his remarks.

He was extremely sarcastic and blamed Anna for everything. He pointed out that Anna received the largest share of the inheritance because she was Frank‘s daughter. Also, he blamed her for harming many people by doing so.

This article appeared logical and straightforward, but it didn‘t get to the point. In reality, it was just a mash–up of all the recent Internet rumors.

According to the article, Anna transferred all of Frank‘s inheritance to lemon. Nothing could be further from the truth, however.

Also, it mentioned that Lemon and directly stated that Anna was its president.

At that point, a member of the technical staff exclaimed, “I got it! This person is not far away. Oh, he is in the White Group building!”

These words confirmed Andrew and Anna‘s suspicions, and they both looked at each other in surprise.

Tony realized how serious the situation was at that point. He became pale with nervousness and said, “Sorry, I didn‘t handle this well. I wanted to act before they did, but I didn‘t expect them to be so quick.”

Anna gave him a thoughtful look before saying, “Stop blaming yourself, Tony. It‘s not your fault. All we need to do now is consider how we should deal with the rumor. Okay, let‘s work late tonight and find a perfect solution to this.”

Anna knew that because everyone was using the Internet, bringing a small company down was very easy. So, when she first started the company, she established a public relations department.

Anna knew that Tony was still a young man with limited experience. However, she believed that after going through the hardship, he would become a better employee.

Anna felt that she could accept spending money and time training talents, but she couldn‘t accept those who betrayed her company.

As she was thinking this, she gazed at Oscar, who was standing next to Tony.

Anna said, “Tony, write a report to dispel the rumors and share it on social media. Please keep comments on the Internet minimum and notify reporters that we will hold a press conference.”

This was Anna‘s emergency public relations response. Tony didn‘t dare to be slow any longer, so he nodded and got to work instantly. Everyone was prepared to deal with the war, except Oscar, who appeared distracted.

“Well, that‘s a deal! Please stop what you‘ve been doing recently because you need to devote all your energy to solving this problem. I will reward the first person who comes up with a perfect idea.”

The meeting went on for quite some time. While everyone else was frowning and thinking, Oscar appeared agitated and wanted to leave. He stood up half an hour after the meeting began.

“Oscar, where are you going?” Anna asked in purpose.

Oscar avoided looking at Anna and replied, “Oh, I‘m going to the bathroom. I‘ll be back in a minute.”

After Oscar left, Anna texted someone, saying, “Oscar is out. See what he is going to do.”

That person quickly replied to Anna, “Got it.”

Thunder Media Group was the country‘s largest media company.

A woman was on the phone apologizing to the editor-in–chief‘s office in the group‘s building at the time. Although she was in her fifties, she still appeared to be young She constantly apologizes to others, saying, “Yes, I‘m sorry, I‘ll have them remove all of these posts immediately. Honestly, those posts were made by someone in the company‘s entertainment department Sol‘m really clueless about that. Every day, as you are aware, we publish a large amount of news.”

“Oh, no, I didn‘t mean to do that. Don‘t worry, Ms. Miller; we will definitely look into this matter. Okay, we‘ll remove the news right now.”

The woman was enraged after hanging up the phone. When she looked up and saw her assistant standing beside her, she became enraged and asked, “Who the hell is Anna Gabriel, anyway? Why are so many people calling me about a stupid news story about her?”

Many people have called the woman since the news about Anna was published. In theory, she wouldn‘t have even picked up the phone. However, because the callers were all powerful people she couldn‘t afford to offend, she had to personally answer the phone and apologize to them one by one.

Wayne Wright, the former president of the Carousel Group and a member of the well–known Wright family, was the first to call.

He called to ask why they had spread this news. Then came Randall Wilson, the president of AW Group. Carrie, the editor–in–

chief of the renowned Vivi magazine, was the third caller. She was followed by Selina Miller, the wife of the former tax commissioner. Plus, Mrs. Miller was being very aggressive on the phone.

Her assistant was also perplexed and whispered, “Anna is the second daughter of the Gabriel Group‘s president, according to what I‘ve heard. But her family doesn‘t seem to like her. So, he has spent the last few years living alone in America. Isn‘t the Gabriel Group doomed to fail? Why do so many people care about her? Why did Wayne Wrights at Carousel help her?”

The editor–in–chief grumbled, “Wayne isn‘t even ‘helping‘ her! I was afraid he‘d beat me up if he came into my office! Anyway, how does she know anyone at the tax office? She knows Mr. Miller, an official who has just been transferred to London to take up his position.”

This was also a mystery to the assistant. And he cautiously asked, “Well, do we have to withdraw the news then?”

The editor–in–chief sneered and said, “Huh? Yes, we must withdraw it. We‘ll take it down after everyone has finished talking about it tonight. That way, we‘ve not only satisfied the bigwigs but also informed many people about it. Will you look into this woman for me? I‘m curious as to why she has so many big wigs care about her.”

“Yes, I‘ll have them look into that,” said the assistant, who was also intrigued.

Thunder Entertainment was known for not being afraid of authority. When they were blamed for something that went wrong, they would simply promise not to do it again. They did, however, often go went on their word. The employees were all confident that the group‘s leaders would protect them no matter what.
