Chapter 343

Hearing this, Linda’s body stiffened slightly.

She turned to Rachel, pondered for a moment, and said, “The fifteenth of the upcoming month.

We’ll go pick Auntie up, the four of us together.”

There was nothing unusual about what Linda said, yet it stirred a storm in Linda’s heart.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then nodded heavily and said, “Okay.”

Since Rachel had taken over the company, there were too many matters she had to attend to

personally.

There were several major in–progress projects and many other projects that were to be carried out in

the future.

The managers of the various departments entered and left Rachel’s office frequently throughout the

entire morning, all with decks of documents in their hands.

Of all the matters Rachel had to deal with, the one with the most problems was the resort Jessica

Tower was endorsing.

“Ms. Grey, I’m thinking, should we consider letting someone else endorse the resort?”

The negative rumors surrounding Jessica on the internet had never stopped ever since the last time

she made such a stunning appearance.

The company’s Twitter page was filled with offensive comments about Jessica. Unsightly terms such as

“school bully“, “go–go dancer“, and “escort“, frequently appeared.

Some even claimed Jessica only had gotten this endorsement because she slept her way to it.

Of course, the more controversial and the more people talked about this matter, the more attention it

would attract. However, no one could bear so many negative and insulting comments on the internet for

a long time.

If this carried on, the resort’s reputation and business would most likely be damaged as well. It was just

a matter of time.

Rachel placed her signature pen on the table and asked, “Who do you think I should choose then?”

Her tone was calm, but there was a subtle hint of coldness to it.

The person in charge was stunned for a moment. He had heard rumors that Jessica had a very close

personal relationship with Ms. Grey but she was never sure, now she had confirmed it. What other

reasons could there be for Ms. Grey to be so biased towards a hardly known model?

He carefully sized up Rachel’s expression. After hesitating for a short while, he said, stuttering. “Ms.

Grey, I’m not questioning your decision. All I’m saying is it would be wise for us to look at the long term.

We shouldn’t ignore Jessica’s future influence on the resort’s reputation just for the attention she’s

getting on the internet right now.”

“I’m a businesswoman. When I make an investment, I always look at the returns it yields.” Rachel

picked up the coffee beside her, took a sip, and said, “For every offensive comment the haters make,

the term “Johnson Corporation” and the name of the resort appear one more time on the internet. As

statistics show, the resort has already received one million reservations as of midnight. That’s the result

I want!”

Hearing this, the person in charge dared not to make further attempts at his opinion of changing the

resort endorser.

The statistics were indisputable. It was true that Jessica had attracted massive attention to the resort,

which might not be easily achievable if the endorser was someone else.

After the person in charge left dejectedly, Rachel turned on her computer and searched for news

related to Jessica.

As she had expected, almost all trending topics regarding Jessica were merciless curses, it was

horrible.

She frowned slightly. A hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

At almost noon, Mary and Jessica arrived together at Rachel’s office.

“Aren’t you going to do something about the trending topics on Twitter?” Rachel looked at Jessica and

asked.

With a lollipop in her mouth, Jessica said casually, “What other people say me will only ever be a mere

reference, they’ll never affect me.”

about

In other words, she could not care less about what the people said about her.

Rachel laughed. “Aren’t you optimistic.”

“Can we talk about something else?” Mary suddenly said.

Rachel and Jessica’s gazes landed on her at the same time. “Auntie Linda is coming back next

month. We must let her spend her days peacefully,” Mary said.

When she said that, the atmosphere of the entire office became colder.

“I’ve already sent people to look for a house,” Rachel said, “She can’t stay in

Pollister anymore.”

Back then, that incident had caused an uproar. Even though the matter was dealt with by the Johnson

family in the end, a person’s memory could not possibly be erased.

If Linda Galler and her daughter carried on living in Pollister, they would forever be trapped in the

gloomy and dreadful haze of that incident back then and would never be able to move on.
