Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1739: Drawing attention to myself

Headline: CEO of Prime Group Allegedly Involved in Stock Market Manipulation!

Teddy, Shawn, Hayley, and Patricia stared at Teddy’s computer screen, reading the article that had been posted just a minute ago. Yet, the news was already spreading fast, with multiple outlets uploading similar headlines.

In a matter of minutes, the story was climbing the trending charts as more sites began reposting the article.

Their faces paled slightly more in just a minute, eyes wide.

"Market manipulation?" Hayley scoffed. "Are these people not afraid of being sued for defamation? How could they just write everything and then use freedom of speech as an argument?"

"This is not good," Shawn muttered in disbelief. "An allegation as serious as this will not end well."

"Forget that for now," Teddy said, glancing back at the others. "Get ready. Our phones are going to start ringing any second now."

RING!!!

As if on cue, the office phone rang. The three of them exchanged glances before turning their eyes to Teddy, then to the telephone.

RING!!

Another call followed a second later.

Without hesitation, the four jumped into action. They hadn’t heard from Penny directly yet, but they’d seen her head into her office with Wild, Yugi, and a few others. It was clear the situation was already being addressed at the top.

For now, they had their roles to play.

Not just their department, but other departments were being bombarded with calls from all sorts of people.
