Chapter 219
After hanging up, Charlotte asked worriedly, “James, what’s wrong?”
“The company’s in trouble.”
James left with just those words, unable to calm down, desperate to get back to the office.
He knew this wasn’t coincidence. Yesterday he’d wondered why Zachary hadn’t acted, and today this bombshell dropped
Charlotte watched James’s retreating figure anxiously. Seeing him so flustered, the situation must be serious.
Back in her room, Charlotte angrily punched her pillow. She couldn’t understand how things had escalated this for. She’d only wanted to teach Sarah a lesson, but now James clearly didn’t trust her
The storm from Sarah’s post hadn’t passed when Chancer Corp was hit. As soon as James reached the office, his secretary rushed to him in panic. Not only were their business partners terminating contracts, but their stock was also falling
James started calling partners, but they all said the same thing – they’d found new collaborators and would accept the deposit penalties.
But even keeping all the deposits wouldn’t cover material costs and operating expenses, let alone the massive inventory
sitting in their factories.
With these goods now without buyers, finding new partners wouldn’t be easy. In East Coast, only Zachary had the power to cause damage at this scale to Chancer Corp.
The next day, an interview video went viral – Scott being interviewed
In the video, Scott clanfied that Sarah approached him at the wedding because of Jane, not to flirt, and that he’d long admired
Sarah’s work abroad.
Though brief, the video powerfully cleared up the wedding misunderstanding.
This video caused Chancer Corp’s stock to fall further. The tide turned from unanimous criticism of Sarah to rational analysis, with people gradually understanding Charlotte’s motives.
After the final contract termination, James tried finding new partners but realized Zachary wouldn’t let up unless this was
properly resolved
He returned home with a dark face, heading straight for Lucy’s room
“Lucy”
“James? What’s wrong?”
Lucy looked fearfully at James’s cold expression James threw his tablet on her bed, pointing at it. “Post this content under your name immediately Apologize to Sarah.”
“Apologize? Are you crazy? You want me to apologize to that witch? Lucy couldn’t believe it
“Since yesterday, Chancer Corp’s partners have been terminating contracts Our factories are stuffed with inventory we can’t sell Those who used to call themselves my brothers now hide when I call Hearing all this, you still stubbornly refuse to apologize? James said gravely
Lucy was stunned, her lips opening and closing. “This is just bullying with power What I said wasn’t lies
If
James had no patience for her excuses, “You have one hour if it’s not posted, you’ll be sent to the psychiatric hospital for having an episode That way we can better explain that your previous posts were due to mental instability
