Chapter 274



.

A man in a mask was sitting in the crowd of journalists. There was a sinister look in his eyes, and he sounded aggressive.

“Miss Downey was…”. Benson, the PR director, was about to get up and explain, but Hayden stopped him.

Hayden looked at the reporter who had asked the question and replied, “All lives matter. What should I have done then, watch him jump off the building and cheerfully applaud?”

The man was stunned. Many people agreed with what Hayden was saying, he was startled for a few seconds and quickly responded with another question.

“She says she’s a nice woman and all, but why didn’t you take care of the other employees outside the Downey Group? It’s getting colder these days, and people are waiting for you to come out with a statement and comps.”

“Did I say ignore them?” Hayden shot a glance at the reporter, “I never said any such thing, did I?”

The reporter’s expression changed.

The crowd was getting rowdy again. The reporter could hear people around him saying something about the headline.

At the same time, a famous blogger’s blog reached one million hits.

The news of how Hayden sponsored the medical expenses of an employee’s daughter had rocked the Internet. The Downey Group’s official website also announced the immediate restart of the suspended development project.

All reporters received calls from their superiors, instructing them to modify their interview schedule. It took less than a minute for the reporters to change the interview topic.

“Miss Downey, are you saying that you are now taking over the mess left behind by the Downey Group? Aren’t you concerned that your effort and money are being wasted?”

“Miss Downey, you told us that you weren’t very close to your father, but why are you taking over the Downey Group at this time? Are you doing it for business purposes or out of kinship?”

“…”.

At the office of Yi-Pai Clothing located in an expensive business center in N. City, a man in a black suit angrily entered the office of the Deputy General Manager.

He threw a newspaper on the Deputy General Manager’s desk.

“Look at this, is this what you call a foolproof trap?”.

A man in a brown plaid suit sat behind the table stunned, as the man in the black suit yelled at him. His expression changed after he saw what was written on the paper.

“How… what happened?”.

“I should be the one asking you this question!”. The man looked furious, “I already told you, we should focus on the Joann Group project and not do anything extra Karma exists!”.

“No, brother.” The man in the brown plaid suit panicked, “It’s impossible, Campbell told me that Hayden won’t take over the mess left by the Downey Group. Even if he didn’t tell me, she can’t clean up that mess. Is she crazy? That’s…”

“Look who’s supporting her!” The man pointed to the newspaper angrily, “Look at the person sitting next to her! This, and this! Do you know her background? Are you messing with her? Do you want to take down our company with you?”.

The man in the brown plaid suit was still stunned by what he had heard.

“Joseph Beckham of the ST Group, Nathan Barnett’s wife, Cleveland Sanchez of the AW Group, the editor-in-chief of VV magazine! She even has an offshore identity that I haven’t been able to find out! You’re playing with fire!”
