"Things have gotten out of hand!"Rosemary stood in front of Seth, her expression grave."The trolling went too far. Some people even went and doxxed all of our stores!"Now there are a ton of people boycotting our shops. They even vandalized and looted the stores! We incurred significant losses."Rosemary gritted her teeth. "They're so despicable and shameless! How could they resort to these methods?""Cool your head." Seth was very calm. "Let them do whatever they want. They will reap the consequences soon enough."Rosemary's eyes lit up. "Do you have a plan, Seth?"Seth handed a USB drive to Rosemary and whispered a few words into her ear.Rosemary listened and kept nodding."I knew it, you're amazing! You even came up with a contingency plan! Now it's their turn to suffer."Rosemary was too excited to linger any longer at Seth's place. She strode back to her office.…Meanwhile, the CEOs of various real estate companies had gathered at a five-star hotel."Hahahaha, tha
Rosemary had a way with words, after all.She immediately hit the enemy where it hurt the most and then turned the tables on them in the court of online opinion, making her side out to be the victim.People always tended to side with the underdog.The comment section immediately changed its general tack."Those real estate moguls are too much!""They're utterly lawless!""If they refuse to sell, you can't force them!""If you have so much time and energy on your hands, why don't you improve the quality of your buildings instead? There are tons of problems with your houses every year!"…When they read the comments, the real estate bosses were furious."Goddamnit, how did those idiots get on camera?!""We're in big trouble now. All our efforts have gone down the drain!""Wait, there's more breaking news!"…After leaving the current page, they saw another post that was related to them.'Real estate executives frame CEO of Starnight for bodily harm after deal falls through
The voice on the other end was kindly and warm. "Shonda, dear, have you seen the news about those real estate companies?"A sweet smile spread across Shonda's face. "I have, Grandma. Any thoughts?""Oh, I have plenty of thoughts about that terrible scandal."I got someone to investigate the whole affair. The young man who was victimized is a very good person. He's also handsome and capable."He is a little young, though. I hear he's turning eighteen in a month."You're a bit older than him, but not by too much. Six years is nothing on the larger scale of things."So hurry up and find a way to win his heart, you hear? I'd love to have him as my grandson-in-law."Shonda was stunned. "Grandma, what are you saying? I only met him once."And you haven't even met him before! You want me to marry him just because of what you read in an investigation report? That's ridiculous."Shonda was perplexed. Something felt off with her grandmother today, but she could not tell what it was.On
Shonda was stunned for a moment after her grandmother hung up on her."What's wrong with her? Why does she want me to marry someone I've only met once?"She could not figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brains. After some thought, Shonda picked up her phone and called her best friend to ask.…The storm on the Internet was still surging.However, Starnight's crisis had been resolved, and people stopped vandalizing its stores. Operations resumed as normal.One day, Seth's phone rang. The caller was Yvonne."Mr. Yeager, are you busy right now?"Yvonne's voice had a shy edge to it.After she sobered up that day, she felt so ashamed that she secretly left Seth's villa early in the morning.She did not want to meet Seth again to avoid any more embarrassment.However, Seth ended up in the middle of such a huge scandal within a few short days. Yvonne had no choice but to call him again.She knew that this was the time when Seth needed money the most. It was also a good
Seeing Seth again, even though Yvonne was prepared, she still felt quite shy and barely dared to meet his eyes.Seth did not bring up past events and invited her to sit down.Just at that moment, the takeout arrived.“It’s almost noon. Let’s eat before we talk.”“Oh, okay.” Yvonne nodded obediently. Seeing the table filled with food, she asked, “This is a lot. Is someone else coming?”“No, it’s just for me.”Rosemary was not at the company but was out handling other matters.Seth had specifically selected two women from the Night Wolves to protect her.Plus, with her own considerable strength, most people could not bother her.Yvonne blinked and suddenly blushed. She thought of a saying—men who could maintain a good figure while eating a lot were strong in various aspects.Seth looked at her slightly reddened face. “Why is your face red? Is the AC not cold enough?”“No, no.” Yvonne shook her head, quickly lowering it to eat.After meeting Seth, inappropriate images would sp
Six chuckled and said, “Wally, I see you as a good person. You're very capable as well. So, I’m offering you a chance to make some money.”“What exactly are you trying to say?!”“This batch of goods needs to be sent to Jonesville, right? From here to Jonesville, it should take about two days.“If you delay it by one day, you can get 20,000. It'll be 40,000 for two days and so on.”“You’re from another real estate company!” Wally realized immediately.Six did not deny it. “I’m just an employee, too. It’s a pity to miss such a good money-making opportunity.”“That’s impossible. It’s easy to get caught, and I could lose my job and possibly face a lawsuit.” Wally shook his head in refusal, feeling that this was not reliable.Six continued, “Wally, your two kids will be going to school soon, right? Your wife is not in good health, and you’re still living in a rented house, no?“In a few years, when your kids are at the right age and if you still don’t have a house, you won't be ab
Not long after they left, a group of people approached the construction site.They did not go in and merely observed from the outside. They then departed with sneers on their lips.…Seth’s life became very routine afterward.During the day, he dealt with various affairs in the company.In the evenings, he guided Rosemary, Willow, and Alaska in their practice.They still retained the energy in their bodies from consuming the snake meat from before.Under continuous training, the latent energy inside them was fully developed.Their progress was incredibly rapid.In a few days, Seth planned to give them medicine made from the Blood Lotus to ingest, at which point their strengths would experience a surge.Three days passed quickly.That noon, Rosemary received a call from the construction site, asking why the materials had not arrived yet.Frowning, she immediately called Shonda to inquire.“What? None of the materials have arrived?!”Upon hearing this, Shonda immediately se
Steelman Building Materials Factory specialized in producing rebar and door frames. They were one of Brocade Real Estate’s partners.Their boss, a woman in her 40s known as Lila, revealed a mocking smile after hanging up the phone.“Stupid woman, do you think I'd really agree to help you transport materials?!”Across from her sat a scholarly-looking man with glasses.Hearing Lila’s words, the man laughed. “Lila, your choice is wise. Brocade Real Estate won’t last much longer. Choosing to cooperate with us is how you secure your future.”Lila also laughed. “Of course. You guys are the leading enterprise in the country, and the purchase price you offered me is 30% higher than that woman, Shonda.”The man adjusted his glasses, a cold light flashing in his eyes. “Shonda thinks she has solved the materials problem. Little does she know a bigger crisis awaits.”Lila nodded. “With this back and forth, her project will be delayed at least half a month. If she loses a million a day, she’
