Chapter 180

The shareholders' meeting was held in Luther Group's conference room.

Sitting at the head of the table, Artemis was immersed in the documents and ignored the shareholders.

Are they finally panicking? Didn't they think that something like this would happen when Bailey left back then?

“Mr. Longman, isn't the public relations department always liaising with Emmy Boutique's person in charge? Didn't you shift all the responsibilities to Bailey already? Why is Emmy Boutique suing Luther Group now?”

“Exactly. Since it happened because of Bailey, she should bear all the responsibilities. Why is Emmy Boutique suing Luther Group instead?”

In the meantime, Quentin, director of the public relations department, remained seated on the chair and lowered his head silently.

After the shareholders finally finished bombarding him with questions and accusations, he answered calmly and slowly, “Bailey isn't responsible for it because she didn't sign the final draft. Instead, Victoria, director of the HR department, is the one responsible.”

“What? Quentin, what do you mean?”

Quentin looked up at the shareholders and explained, “There is the notion of division of responsibilities in law. Even though Bailey was involved in the new product launch, the one who signed the final draft was Victoria. Let me put it this way—the court will dismiss the case even if Emmy Boutique wishes to sue Bailey, for she isn't the person directly in charge. Bailey did not sign it. Hence, she isn't guilty, unlike Victoria. Therefore, Emmy Boutique now sues Luther Group instead. Everyone, do you understand what I've said?”

When the shareholders fell silent, Artemis snickered and threw the documents in his hands on the table. Then, he said with a stern look, “All right. The fiasco is over. Stop keeping Bailey on the hook because she doesn't have to bear any responsibility. I'd suggest you think about ways to negotiate with Emmy Boutique, hoping they will withdraw the lawsuit.”

The next moment, Artemis raised his eyebrows and added, “Now that Luther Group is facing a lawsuit, I'm afraid all of you have to suffer huge losses once the share price drops. You might be able to bear losses up to one or two hundred million. What about one billion, two billion, ten billion, or twenty billion? By the way, please don't compare yourselves with me. Since my net worth is more than three hundred billion, I can afford to prolong the lawsuit.”
