“Alright, I get it,” Aveline said, gently patting Selena’s hand to reassure her and temporarily abandoning the idea of going live. However, Selena, worried that Aveline might still consider doing a live stream, stuck close to her all evening, refusing to leave her side.It wasn’t out of selfishness.Lucas, after all, was a powerful man with resources and influence, and he could easily suppress the situation.A few insults wouldn’t bother him much.But Aveline?She had nothing like that to protect her.She couldn’t afford to be exposed to the public eye. These netizens could turn vicious on a whim, and Aveline, with her gentle nature, would undoubtedly be deeply hurt by an online mob attack. Selena was worried sick about her!…Meanwhile, at the Tudor Group, the lights burned bright late into the night.The PR manager brought in the emergency response plan, only to hear the sounds of a heated argument coming from the office.Desmond stood at the door, took the documents, and said, “You should head back.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.The PR manager nodded and left.Desmond glanced at the documents, then pushed open the office door and stepped inside.Inside the office, Mark was angrily pounding the table, his displeased eyes fixed on Lucas. “Lucas, explain to me what’s going on now. Wasn’t the situation just calmed down? Why has it flared up again? It seems you can’t handle this matter. I propose we call a shareholders’ meeting to re-elect the president!” Several other executives in the room also wore grim expressions.Just when one crisis had barely been resolved, another was already brewing.Now, public opinion online was overwhelmingly against them!Everyone was demanding Lucas’ resignation, calling for him to release the woman they claimed he was holding captive!Lucas sat in his leather chair, his expression cold and indifferent as he watched the furious executives in front of him.Lucas spoke calmly, “So, after electing a new president, then what? How do you plan to handle this situation?” Mark maintained a stern face, “That won’t be your concern anymore.”Lucas continued, “Let me guess: you’ll dump all the blame on me, announce that I’ve resigned, and claim that everything, from the incident at the hospital to hiding the woman, was my personal behavior and had nothing to do with the Tudor Group, right?” Mark’s expression didn’t change, but deep down, he was shocked. He hadn’t expected Lucas to see right through their plans! That was exactly what they had been discussing.It seemed like the best course of action.So, the first step was to force Lucas to resign on his own.Another board member, Winson Watson, spoke up, “Lucas, it’s clear that someone is manipulating things from behind the scenes. Their target might not be the Tudor Group but you. You can’t let your personal affairs drag down the entire company. Think about your father; this is his life’s work. Can you really stand to see the companydestroyed?” “I can,” Lucas replied with a slight smile. “Your suggestion is actually a good one. I’ll drag the entire Tudor Group down with me. We’ll all perish together.””You…!” Mark’s face twisted with anger. “You are being utterly unreasonable. A shareholders’ meeting must be held! The Tudor Group cannot be led by someone like you!”Lucas slowly stood up, the smile on his lips fading into a cold line, his entire demeanor imposing.”All this fuss over a minor public opinion storm shows just how complacent you old guys have become. It seems you’ve lived in comfort for too long and can’t handle the slightest bit of turbulence anymore.”Let me make this clear today: theTudor Group belongs to me, Lucas Tudor. None of you can remove me. If you want me to resign, I won’t mind dragging everyone down withme. If you don’t believe me, just try it.
