At the zy Corporation.
"How could this happen!!!"
President Acker looked at how Ian Everett easily shook off the malicious rumors, and was furious to the point of madness.
No matter how he calculated, he never expected that the person in the video so intimately close to Ian Everett was Serena Everett. Nor did he expect Ian Everett to be the fourth son of Imperia’s wealthiest family. All his efforts were in vain, like drawing water with a sieve!
Unwilling to accept this, President Acker pounded the table hard and, with a gloomy face, instructed his secretary beside him, "Continue buying ghostwriters. Contact the influencers to keep exposing dirt on Ian Everett!"
Since he had already offended Serena and Ian Everett, he couldn’t let it be for nothing. He had to see Ian Everett’s popularity plummet. Only this way could he heavily damage Starlight Entertainment and give zy Corporation a chance to surpass them, no longer being pressed down by Starlight.
The secretary respectfully agreed, "Yes, President Acker."
President Acker’s face grew even more sinister, "No matter the cost, we must make Ian Everett’s popularity drop like a stone..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "bang" as the office door was kicked open.
President Acker was startled, and upon realizing what happened, he scolded indignantly.
"Who is so blind to dare barge into my office..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was faced with the girl lazily standing at the door.
The girl was stunningly beautiful, but the aura she exuded was chilling to the bone.
"You..." President Acker recognized her identity, his expression changing as a flattering smile quickly appeared on his face, "Miss Everett, what brings you here!"
Serena Everett was not only the heiress of Imperia’s richest family but also the fiancée in name to the powerful Master Damian. In any case, he couldn’t afford to offend her openly!
Serena gave him no face, ignored his flattery and pandering, and sat down directly, casually putting her long and straight legs on the coffee table. Her attitude was relaxed, but her arrogance was unmistakable.
"Your zy really has the nerve, playing tricks on Starlight Entertainment."
Upon hearing this, President Acker’s face changed, but he forced a laugh, "Miss Everett, what do you mean by that? I don’t understand. Our zy is just a small company, how could we dare oppose your Starlight Entertainment!"
As long as he refused to admit it, there was nothing she could do to him!
This thought eased President Acker’s previous anxiety, and he smiled as he spoke.
"Miss Everett, everything needs evidence. You can’t accuse our zy baselessly!"
Serena’s red, moist lips curled coldly, with an even stronger pressure emanating from her as she flung a folder at President Acker’s head.
"Here’s your evidence."
"Ouch..." President Acker cried out when he was hit, but upon seeing what was written, his face changed instantly, "How do you have these things?!"
It contained all records of him buying ghostwriters and hiring influencers to defame Bianca Everett.
Yet he had done it all so secretly, how did she find out?!
"You look surprised?"
Serena’s cool voice continued unhurriedly.
"You did keep it quite hidden, but it just so happens I know a little hacking."
Upon hearing this, President Acker’s face looked even worse. His eyes shifted, and he spoke quickly, "So what if I did it? I’m not a public figure. Even if you expose these things, it won’t have that much impact on me, Miss Everett!
So, let’s settle this matter sensibly. I can compensate Starlight Entertainment, and this matter will be over. After all, Ian Everett wasn’t severely impacted. Making peace now is the best decision, Miss Everett!"
"You sure are shameless!"
Listening to his shameless words, Serena nearly laughed in anger and then kicked hard towards his stomach.
"Who gave you the nerve to ask me to back down? Not only will I hold you accountable, but I also want your zy to disappear!"
President Acker was kicked to the ground, landing heavily, his face twisted with pain, but upon hearing her words, he couldn’t help but taunt.
"Zy is one of the top brokerage firms in the country, do you really think it can just vanish because you say so? Aren’t you overconfident?"
Hearing his sarcastic words, Serena’s expression didn’t change at all as she calmly replied, "These years, zy has been evading taxes, coercing its artists into unspoken rules, even forcing them to entertain influential figures. Once these illegal activities come to light, do you think zy can still stand in the entertainment industry?"
With each word Serena spoke, President Acker’s face turned a shade paler, his whole body trembling in fear.
"How do you know all this?!"
Serena’s exquisite brows raised lazily, her tone even more relaxed, "I told you, I know a little hacking."
"Miss Everett, I beg you! Please don’t let these things get out!" President Acker was truly frightened now, kneeling on the ground, pleading bitterly, "I’ll agree to anything you want, just don’t let these things get out!"
If these things got out, zy would only face ruin!
"It’s too late." Serena maliciously curled her red lips, "I already instructed my assistant to release everything before I even came to zy." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net
Hearing this, President Acker hurriedly opened his computer, and indeed, the internet was full of people condemning zy, and the police had been alerted...
President Acker collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
It’s over, everything is over!
After savoring President Acker’s defeated, despairing expression, Serena lazily got up and turned to leave zy Corporation.
As she stepped out, she spotted the distant figure of an aloof, distinguished man.
"Baby, brother’s here to take you back to Imperia."
Damian Quinn gazed lovingly and indulgently at the young lady, reaching out his hand to her.
As Serena was about to reach for it, a female voice called out from behind.
"Sweetie, come to sister!"
