Chapter 263 Betrayer
“From Ivory Apparel’s perspective, they want to nip all uprising and potential competitors in the bud. Once those small businesses make it big, they will hinder Ivory Apparel’s progress,” Bill said with a grave expression on his face.
This was the harsh reality of the business industry.
“How long can Mr. Greenwood’s PR solution last?”
“No idea.”
Bill would never give vague answers. If he was unsure about something, he would say ‘no idea’ directly.
Before they could think of the next steps to solve this incident, someone from the PR department arrived. “Miss Hunter, there’s bad news. We are in trouble now—someone published a long article online that has gone viral. They even found out that you are the boss of Citrus Apparel.”
Courtney immediately stood up. This happened right after our meeting. Just like what Bill said—it’s too much of a coincidence.
Hence, they held an emergency meeting immediately.
The headline of the article was ‘All you need to know about the inheritor of Hunter Group, Courtney Hunter’s new business’.
It was published on Facebook by a famous page with millions of followers. Within one afternoon, the article appeared on the trending page.
It revolved around three points, the first being the most ostentatious one—the suicide of the employee who jumped from the top floor of the Hunter Group headquarters.
The second was the massive retrenchment and temporary unemployment of thousands of employees because of some finance loopholes in the Hunter Group.
The third was the conclusion drawn from the two points above with relatively harsh and rude descriptions. The blame was pushed entirely to Courtney; as she was Lucian’s daughter, she got the most amount of private inheritance from him that was built on others’ misfortunes.
