Almost all the people who watched the stream saw the way Sherry had curled up into her sheets, cowering from the two men speaking to her. One of the men seemed to be a lawyer while the other man threatened Sherry. Sherry herself had said that she was getting threatened as well, shutting off the stream and claiming she was going to delete the video. Some of the viewers from the stream pulled up Sherry's profile and found that the video was indeed gone. That incident caused an uproar online. Barging into a hospital with a lawyer and some hooligan threatening a young lady in public? It was as if Dasha was a lawless nation! All at once, the viewers scoured the internet for information on who owned the fancy car that had hit Sherry. They were hellbent on finding him and making sure he was taken down by the law. Sherry lay back in bed with a gleeful expression plastered on her face. She felt like she had done a splendid job, knowing how the internet took to cases like this.
"You're home early today," Wilbur said. Faye chuckled. "The situation's gotten out of hand." "What's the matter?" "That girl's pulling tricks, claiming that we're threatening her. The internet's brimming with rumors that Cape International is abusing our power, and everyone's out to track down who you are." Wilbur frowned. He had not expected things to get out of hand like this. "Isn't this a little too much? Is she really not afraid of the consequences this might bring for her?" Wilbur asked. Faye smiled. "There are some people these days who will do anything for fame. The second they find your identity, you're going to be bombarded with a slew of hate and death threats." "Is there a good way to settle this?" Wilbur frowned. Faye said, "Yes. We could let the traffic police settle this and have them release the full footage of what happened during the accident to settle the misunderstanding. Sherry Divos would be arrested too, but…" "But what?" Faye frowned. "Some o
Kim's expression darkened at once. "Why would I even bother keeping you around if you can't even get her to say yes?" "Alright. I know what to do." Kim's assistant broke out into a sweat, nodding profusely before hurrying off. Kim smirked, taking another drag of her cigarette as her face took on another unreadable expression. Joy Corp and Cape International were neck and neck in the current battle over the commercial district. Kim had thought that Joy Corp would be able to take over Willow Corp for sure with how powerful they were, only to have Cape step in and stop them from doing so, and even fighting back. To everyone's surprise, Joy Corp's internal system had been shaken by this. As the CEO, there was no way Kim would let this persist. She sent out a series of orders, and both parties came up with insurmountable amounts of money to buy over Willow Corp's control. However, Willow Corp had stated that they were going to Cape International, and that was final. Kim's
Jose let out a sigh and left with Wilbur. Wilbur bought a fruit basket at the hospital gift shop before heading to the patient wards. Just then, Sherry was unable to hide the gleeful smile on her face. She had never expected that someone would pay her so much money over this. What a win-win situation it was! On top of that, whoever sent her the money had said that they would back her up with all the support she needed, making sure she was safe. Anyone who could cough up a million dollars in cash over something like this had to be someone of power, and Sherry believed that they would undoubtedly keep their promise. There was not much left for her to be afraid of. All she was thinking of at the moment was how to escalate the situation as much as possible. Just then, Wilbur walked into the ward holding the fruit basket. He looked around, found Sherry's bed, and walked up to her. "Sherry Divos?" Wilbur asked. Sherry looked up and fear flashed in her eyes. Yet she return
Sherry cackled to herself at the uproar that she had just caused. If this kept going, she might just become one of the internet's biggest stars. Wouldn't she be swimming in money then? Wilbur left the hospital and drove home, only to see Elsa and Faron were also there talking to Faye in the living room. "What are you guys doing here?" Wilbur asked. Faron smiled. "We're all worried for you, bro. I heard things are getting worse and worse." "It can't be that bad. You're worrying for nothing." Wilbur sat down, and Faye handed him a cup of tea. "How did the talk go?" "The kid's out of her mind. She insisted she'd done nothing wrong, and said I was threatening her," Wilbur said. Faye sighed. "I knew that was going to happen. Kids these days don't think about the consequences of their actions." Just then, Elsa said, "Don't worry. We've passed the damaged camera to the IT department, and they're working on restoring the footage in the memory card. I'm sure the footage should
Wilbur and Faye were at a loss for words. Why was Elsa speaking to Faron like this? Faron flew to his feet at once, shouting, "I'll take you on any day! I'm not as soft and weak as I used to be anymore, come at me!" "Oho!" Elsa stood up as well, cracking her knuckles with a smirk. "You really are asking to be beaten up. Come on, then. Let's see what you've got!" The two of them glowered at each other, ready to fight at any second. Wilbur was caught off-guard, hurrying to say, "Hey, hey! What's going on here? Have you two lost your mind?" "She's been bullying me since I was a kid. I need to get my revenge!" Faron fumed. Wilbur was shocked. "Bullied you? What on earth are you talking about?" "This bitch here is my cousin. She's always taken advantage of the fact that she could fight and beat me up all the time," Faron said vehemently. Wilbur burst out in a fit of laughter upon hearing the words. He had not expected these two to be related. Faye pulled Elsa to sit down,
"Good press?" Chloe asked, confused. "Sir, we're a news channel. Aren't we supposed to report based on the facts and keep a neutral standpoint?" Telford's expression darkened at once. "Are you questioning my orders? Do as you're told unless you want to be dropped!" Chloe fell silent, biting her lip. "I understand, Mister Gills." "Chloe, you've got to know that there's more to this job than just reporting. Connections are important to remain in this line of work, got it?" Telford said. Chloe took a deep breath. "Got it, Mister Gills." "Thank you, Mister Gills." Chloe returned to her desk, her expression one of misery. She understood Telford's intentions, but reporting with a bias did not align with her work ethic at all. A while later, she let out a sigh and decided to do the interview first. She slung a camera around her neck and hurried off to the hospital. Just then, Telford leaned back in his chair, sipping his tea leisurely. Joy Corp had paid him good money fo
Chloe uploaded whatever she had done onto her cloud storage, getting ready to work overtime at home. She got into her car and drove out of the television broadcast station, heading home. Just then, Telford's car drove past her and turned the other way. Chloe was a little confused. That wasn't the road he usually took to go home. Somehow, Chloe's intuition told her to follow after him. Just like that, she tracked him from a distance and followed him all the way to a private club. Telford got out of the car. A middle-aged man came out of the club and greeted him warmly, and the two men walked inside. Chloe sat in her car. Why did that guy look so familiar? She racked her brains, but nothing came to mind. Finally, it hit her. She whipped out her phone and tapped furiously, finally pulling up a picture of the man from just now. He was Jordan Pavian, vice chairman of Joy Corp. "Why would Mister Gills know Jordan Pavian, and why are they meeting up in a private club?
