Chapter 128

Chapter 128 In just a few hours, Sawle Group’s negative news had become highly popular and quickly topped the hot search list.

Aubree’s embarrassing removal from the golf course was posted online and quickly went viral.

Originally, a large financial group like Sawle Group could exert pressure on the media and completely suppress the news.

Unfortunately. Chloe had already played when Sawle Group responded, and it was too late.

Stepping back ten thousand steps, even under pressure, would be futile.

As long as KS Group, the major shareholder behind the TV station where Three O’clock News was located, was content, they could keep broadcasting the news of Aubree’s arrest around the clock.

The more talented netizens turned Aubree and Skyler’s embarrassment into a set of emojis on Twitter for everyone to download.

They arranged the nine grid to form a set of radio gymnastics, with the two of them crawling forward and leaning back.

In order to quell public opinion, Jake rescued Aubree from prosecution, despite being already overwhelmed and in a state of disarray.

Meanwhile, Chloe had emerged victorious in the first battle and returned to KS WORLD Hotel in high spirits.

She enjoyed a luxurious afternoon tea in the office, then played video games with Oscar, before reporting on the situation of today’s battle.

“Ive already reserved a VIP room in our hotel restaurant. Let’s meet up with Mayor Savor the day after tomorrow and do our best to take down Balin City this week!”

Chloe was in high spirits and cut in on the game.

“Aubree is currently being questioned by Riley. Even though your second brother usually has a good laugh, when it comes to work, he’s always someone who won’t let go of a task.”

“If he doesn’t get any useful information from Aubree, Riley won’t go easy on her.”

Oscar was scated in the president’s office, immaculately dressed in a suit. His smile was warm, yet he exuded an air of authority without any hint of anger.

“It’s funile,” Chloe declared confidently. “Aubree will be freed regardless.”

“Do you want her to go out?” Oscar asked, his tone full of intrigue, “So what if she doesn’t? We won’t be able to reprimand her.”

Chloe narrowed her crafty eyes, raised the bloody electric saw, and cut the players down. “Aubree has not only relied on Jake’s favor, but also his cunning and astuteness.”

“She and her cousin Alan were in the same predicament and pooled their resources. Alan was her right-hand man. She stayed in the shadows and issued commands. She refused to get her hands dirty. How clever was her scheme?*

Oscar nodded thoughtfully. Tagree with what you said; it’s just a shame.”

“It’s no shame.”

Chloe curled her red lips and smiled beautifully like a poppy. “It’s great that we KS are making a profit. Plus, I never meant to beat Aubree to a pulp from the start.”

“What I desire is not only for her to be removed from her post as Deputy Director of the Board of Directors. I want her to lose faith in Jake. I want fake to believe that Aubree was the cause of Sawle Group’s great loss in this project.”

This could become a source of contention between the couple.

Killing people was straightforward, yet he found that killing the heart was just as effective if he could not take down his opponent in one blow.

Aubree would likely remain depressed for the foreseeable future, as if she were in prison.

“Little sister, do you know what I’m most eager to do right now?” Oscar leaned forward and asked with a grin.

“Huh? What?”

“I want to retire right away and give you some breathing room.”

“Truly, you are the ideal candidate to be the president of our KS Group,” Oscar sighed and clapped his hands.

Upon mentioning this, Chloe’s expression fell.

The weight of the name list was like a mountain on her head. Even if she hung up, she felt that Stefan would burn it for her.

At the moment, Kiran, her little sister, phoned.

“Big brother, let’s not discuss it right now. Kiran phoned me,” Chloe said, her face lighting up.

“Alright, I heard Ninth Sister has come back to Medo. Whenever you have the chance, you should go and see her more often.

Make sure to take good care of her.” Oscar said kindly.

“Yes, she’s my only sister. If I don’t love her, who else would I love?”

Chloe had always felt a little guilty towards Kiran, as logically she should have been more cared for and doted on than her at home, being the youngest.

From the day she was born, Chloe was like a magnet with a strong magnetic field, instantly becoming Stefan’s favorite. She was a pearl in the family, unmatched by any other, and worthy of being called a group pet.

She had unintentionally taken away too much of the love that should have been Kiran’s, and she felt remorseful. Therefore, as an elder sister, she always wished to do her utmost to provide Kiran with more care.

Kiran always brought good news and never reported bad news, which saved a lot of trouble; yet, she didn’t know how to begin helping her.

“Little sister, you’re back in Medo?” Chloe asked with a smile.

“Yes, sis, I’m already at school.”

Kiran paused and asked timidly. “Sister, are you occupied today? Is there anything on the agenda for tonight?”

“Do you want to play with me?” Chloe saw right through her thoughts.

“Yes!”

“It’s been ages since we had a proper reunion since you returned. Would you be free tonight for me to take you out for dinner?”

“Just eating? Don’t you want to grab a beverage?” Chloe raised her eyebrows.

“Since you’ve already guzzled it, let’s play another song. We haven’t strummed a tune in ages. I wonder if your vigor has declined, Kiran said in a mischievous tone.

“Hahaha! Your sister is a real natural when it comes to singing. Even the best vocalist would have to bow down to her talent.”

Chloe cleared her throat. “Observe me wiping my bottom without gauze – I’ll demonstrate it with my hand!”

At the conclusion of the Sawle Group’s high-level meeting, Jake had issued three important instructions.

First, swiftly counteract the detrimental effects that the Bell siblings had on the group, regulate public opinion, reinstate Sawle Group’s reputation, and avert Sawle Group’s stock from declining!

Remove all of Alan’s duties in the group and thoroughly investigate the relevant personnel one by one.

Aubree, Deputy Director of the Board of Directors, will have her letter of appointment temporarily shelved until the case is fully investigated, after which the necessary arrangements will be made.

After the meeting, the higher-ups all sighed heavily, weighed down by the pressure of the decisions they had made, as they left the room.

“Joseph, remain here. I have something to tell you,” Jake said sternly.

Joseph, having already walked to the door, stopped, turning around with an expressionless face, and elegantly sat down.

The father and son, seated at one end of the conference table, felt the air pressure around them drop.

“What’s your strategy for tackling today’s issue as president?” Jake coughed lightly and asked in a chilly tone.

“It’s a business matter.”

“Aunt Bell is already in the prosecutor’s office’s interrogation room. The only thing she can do now is to confess all she knows and work with the investigation. There’s no other option.”

“I’ll figure out a way to take care of Aubree’s situation!” Jake’s chest felt tight, and a flame seemed to be burning in his throat. His voice was raspy.

“Do you believe you are able?”

“I’ve already heard that Riley is the prosecutor who took on Alan’s case,” Joseph said.

‘Riley?”

“Stefan’s second child, Chloe’s second sibling.”

Jake inhaled a sharp breath of cold air, his pupils narrowing.

“Chloe had planned out every step she took from the start, and the Bell siblings had provided opportunities to others along the way.”

“Given the current circumstances, I believe that, as the chairman of the board, you should be more open-minded. Consider how to address the declining stock market tomorrow morning; it is of utmost importance.”

Joseph, his tall and noble frame shifting slightly, made it clear he no longer wished to discuss Aubree.

“Wait a minute!”

Jake suddenly leaned forward, his eyes blazing. “I recall that you had a strong bond with Dr. Fred in Puplen. If the Sawle Group were to employ Dr. Fred as a technical consultant for their biotechnology and gain his patent backing, it would be a massive gain. It could certainly save the city!”

Reach out to Fred right away and attempt to get him to the nation this week to talk about the partnership!

Joseph frowned and said lightly, “Yeah, okay.”

Jake breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his upbringing had not been in vain.

“However, I have one stipulation.”

“What is it?”

“I aspire to be the Deputy Director of the Board of Directors for the Sawle Group,” Joseph said with a disingenuous smile.

narrowing his starry eyes.
