Chapter 64

People on the Internet were saying that Benjamin was shameless and despicable. They were saying

that he had forgotten his roots. People were saying that the orphanage was using the girls, and others

were

blaming it on how society currently was.

Of course, there were also people who expressed support and satisfaction at what Priscilla had done.

Sage was astonished.

After what Priscilla had said yesterday, Sage had guessed that she would be taking action.

However, she hadn’t expected Priscilla to use Benjamin’s phone to post such an Instagram story!

Now she and Benjamin had completely fallen out.

Mimosa could forget about financing. Even their reputation and sales would be greatly affected.

Those who envied Mimosa would grab the chance to kick them while they were down.

Sage immediately sent a “hug” emoji to Priscilla.

The Xenith family must be a veritable battlefield right now. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to call, s0

she could only use this way to give Priscilla a little bit of support, even if it was completely useless.

As for what Priscilla had said about whether or not Mimosa would still be worth investing in if it did not

have Benjamin’s technical skills, that was something that Sage would have to consider seriously.

The expressions of everyone in Bolton Investment’s conference room were solemn.

Ivy looked especially solemn. Her usual gentleness had disappeared. Her brow was now creased in a

frown.

The executives had no idea how to comfort her.

Very soon, lan arrived. He was accompanied by Terry.

His gaze swept coldly over everyone, and he sat down at the head of the table. He tossed a pile of

documents forcefully onto the table. “Who’s going to explain about Mimosa?”

“Didn’t you investigate and say that Benjamin was framed, and that he was clean? How did his wife find

out all this?”

Everyone remained silent while trembling in fear.

Ivy stood up. “I did not investigate this thoroughly enough. I trusted too easily in what Benjamin said. I’ll

accept any punishment.”

lan looked at her. “It’s not wrong for you to want to accomplish a collaboration, but you were in too

much of a rush to get results. You made a conclusion without clearly investigating the truth of the

matter!

“This isn’t just about losing the project. The public will think that Bolton has no principles. They’ll think

that we already knew about Benjamin’s immorality and were actively helping him to eliminate his

obstacles!”

Ivy continued to apologize. “It’s my fault for not thinking things through. I will accept punishment

according to the company rules…”

“Apart from Ms. Shekdotter, aren’t any of you going to stand up and admit your responsibility?” lan

looked around at the executives. “Didn’t you have any opinions when she made the decision?”

The executives exchanged glances. Of course, they had given their opinions, but Ivy had thought it was

a good opportunity. Additionally, lan thought highly of Ivy, which was why they had all agreed.

Now that their boss was angry, they hurriedly admitted to their mistakes. “We were negligent in our

duty.”

“Everyone will lose three months of your year–end bonus. Other than that, by the end of today, you

must

present a solution for salvaging Bolton’s image!” lan ordered.

Ivy answered, “I will have a discussion with everyone and find the best solution.”

After everyone had dispersed, Ivy apologized again to lan.

“lan, you were right. I was in too much of a rush with Benjamin,” Ivy said. “I’m afraid that you’ll think that

I’m trying to evade responsibility, which is why there’s a strange point that I didn’t mention at the

meeting.

lan indicated for her to continue.

“From the moment we found out about Benjamin until after we finished resolving the situation, only a

few

hours passed. We were also able to block the news in time, so no one should have been able to find

out

about this.”

“So… who leaked it to Mrs. Xenith?”
