Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 786 His Chance With Her

For the next week, Emelie stayed in Eprand, focused on managing the Ludy Fun Park incident.

Due to the PR department's effort, and the fact that no fatalities were reported, under their series of measures, they managed to salvage some of the park's reputation.

A week later, when the park reopened. The visitor numbers were down by 40% compared to before the incident. It was considered a significant success.

On the other hand, the Swanson Corporation wasn't as fortunate.

Two more severely injured victims succumbed to their injuries in the hospital. With that, the death toll was raised to six, and a massive online outcry ensued.

This made the Swanson Corporation's stock plummet over two consecutive trading days. The fallout was so severe that they lost major ongoing deals. Even the company's cash flow faltered.

However, that wasn't the worst of it. A government task force was formed to investigate the Swanson Corporation's other tech parks.

The investigation uncovered issues at two more locations, igniting public outrage and suspicion. It also put the Swanson Corporation under intense scrutiny. Every step that they took now became increasingly difficult. Despite the Swanson Corporation's attempts at damage control, their efforts were in vain. That week felt like they were walking a tightrope for everyone at the Swanson Corporation.

Emelie avoided looking into the Swanson Corporation's situation. However, it had become a hot topic that was impossible to ignore.

While she was getting breakfast from a street vendor, Emelie overheard negative comments about the Swanson Corporation. The owner was cursing the company as he fried sausages for another customer

Emelie carried her cottage cheese and sausage back to the car. Finally, she gave in and checked the news on her phone.

The Swanson Corporation downfall didn't happen by chance, someone had been pulling the strings behind the scenes. It wasn't hard to guess who that person might be.

Emelie finished her breakfast in silence.

William sighed softly.
