As Homer’s father, Xavion was the most nervous out of them all. He knew he had failed to teach his son well. Now that Homer was dead, the people would divert their fury at him.It was getting closer to eight o’clock. He anxiously nudged Kathleen and mumbled, “Kathleen… Maybe I shouldn’t go up in a while…” Kathleen said resolutely, “None of us can be absent in today’s press conference!” Xavion panicked. “I’m afraid that my appearance later will cause public anger. It’ll be bad if it affects your press conference…”“Don’t worry about it,” Kathleen said, not leaving any room for him to wriggle out. “The three of you don’t have to say or do anything on stage. I’ll speak all by myself. You just need to apologize together when I apologize to the public. Bow with me as I do.”Xavion wanted to say something else, but Jordan interrupted him with a cold growl, “Xavion! Your son has made such a big disaster, and you’re his father! If you don’t show up, what will others think of us?!” Xav
Kathleen’s loud and clear words sent the hall bursting into an uproar. Nobody expected that the Fox family would have a new chairman at such a critical moment.Most surprising of all was the fact that the new chairman was a woman. In the United States, the serious problem of patriarchal ideology was still prevalent in big families. There were many wealthy families in the United States with a net worth of more than ten billion or more. However, almost none would give the leadership position to a woman. Not only that, but Kathleen was still very young. Spencer, the previous head of the family, and Jordan, the head of the family before Spencer stood behind Kathleen in a line. Apparently, the young Kathleen wasn’t joking. With her two predecessors standing for her, it must be true that she was the leader of the Fox family’s new generation.Everyone was shocked.They simply couldn’t understand. Why would the Fox family make such a decision? It might be necessary to find someone to ta
It was extremely rare for anyone to be like Kathleen, who admitted the family’s mistake and took responsibility for them. As such, everyone pushed aside their contempt and began to concentrate on Kathleen’s next words.Kathleen continued sternly, “The reason I say that we, the Fox family, have an unshirkable responsibility is mainly because of the following.”“Firstly, we failed to educate Homer well! We failed to shape his character to be a kind person or instill healthy and good values in him. Thus, his character and his personality went into the extremes. Because of this, he brought innumerable damages to society. We must be held accountable for this!”“Secondly, the Fox family also failed to supervise Homer’s actions. There is great negligence in supervision! Homer has been committing terrible atrocities for so many years, yet we were in the dark and only discovered everything yesterday. This is the Fox family’s failure, as well as a dereliction of duty! Had we discovered this m
“One billion US dollars?!”Kathleen’s words instantly caused the whole world to be in an uproar.In third-world countries, the civil compensation for human life was only a few thousand US dollars. It was only tens of thousands of US dollars in developing countries or hundreds of thousands of US dollars at most.In developed countries, it was true that there would often be some cases with very high compensation, but tens of millions of US dollars would generally be the peak. Moreover, there would generally be a team of top lawyers who would have to be racking their brains to get this kind of compensation that was up to tens of millions of US dollars.So, the victim could only really get a small portion of the compensation, and a large part of it would basically go into the lawyers’ pockets.Nevertheless, Kathleen had said that the Fox family would be compensating one billion US dollars per person as soon as she spoke up. What kind of concept was this?! This was equivalent to gi
However, Kathleen’s method of handling this matter was simply perfect in everyone’s eyes. This was a textbook crisis public relations for all top wealthy families.Still, the price of this public relations was also really big. They would have to fork out twenty or thirty billion US dollars just like that. Some top wealthy people might not even have such courage.When Kathleen saw that everyone was applauding her solution, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that this crisis public relation was successful.Although she was representing the Fox family and taking most of the blame on behalf of the Fox family, her attitude was sincere enough, and her solution was more than reasonable. Therefore, the people were able to tolerate her.This was also what Charlie had meant when he said to find a way out of an impasse.Standing up straight and taking a beating would always be much better than getting scolded with your head covered.If you took a beating, you would be able to s
Claire’s grandfather had already betrothed her to Charlie in advance before she had graduated from university. After their marriage, she had been working as an invisible person in Wilson Group and so, she really didn’t have much life experience besides having seen the sinister nature of the Wilson family. In her limited social experience, she really couldn’t understand why a person would want to use another identity to befriend others. If the other party was deliberately trying to harm her, it would naturally be justified if she used a fake identity.However, in their interactions, Kathleen had not deceived her, and in the end, Kathleen had even done her a huge favor by introducing her to her idol, Kelly. Kathleen had even gotten her a place in the master class. Therefore, she really couldn’t understand the reason why Kathleen had done this.Still, the fact that Kathleen had hidden her identity from her still made Claire feel very depressed. This was because she sincerely regar
After saying that, Charlie then said again, “I heard a piece of gossip before. Some time ago, Jordan Fox and Kathleen Fox disappeared together. It was said on the internet that both of them were being pursued by Spencer. Now, it seems as though they were really being pursued at that time and were staying hidden at first. Currently, they have returned to the United States to regain control of the Fox family. This can also explain why Miss Jane... oh, no, I mean, Miss Fox, left without saying goodbye and suddenly disappeared. I guess the reason why she didn’t contact you is because she was being pursued at that time.”Claire nodded lightly. Her depressed mood seemed to have eased a lot, and she said softly, “If that’s really the case, it’s not easy for Miss Fox...”Charlie nodded, smiled, and said, “You don’t have to think too much. Since she has already become the head of the Fox family, she should not have any worries anymore. I believe that she will contact you soon and explain the
Kathleen had solved all of the Fox family’s troubles at once, but immediately afterward, more new video evidence was immediately exposed on the internet.However, the protagonists of this evidence were no longer Homer, but wealthy heirs from New York who were found tragically dead in the Hudson River in the morning. This news exploded all over the world again, and the public’s attention immediately shifted from the Fox family to these wealthy families.Meanwhile, these wealthy families did not even care to grieve the tragic death of their own family members. Instead, all of them had a headache over how they could dispel the public’s anger toward them.Although Kathleen had already given them an example, her solution was simply too expensive for others.These wealthy families, who were addicted to money, were unwilling to provide a billion US dollars in compensation for each victim’s family unless they had no other choice and would otherwise die.However, these were no longer iss
