Inside the car, Greenhill Ainley looked at Elly Campbell’s stern profile and thought about the words she had just said. He felt relieved, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but worry.
"CEO Campbell, you openly used President Jones to suppress them in front of so many people today. If this gets out, won’t it upset President Jones?"
Greenhill’s words made Elly abruptly freeze. When she had brought up Adam Jones to get rid of those people and leave, she hadn’t considered whether Adam would be angry about it.
At that moment, when those on the internet were calling her Adam Jones’s mistress, she had felt a surge of petulance and readily assumed the role of his mistress.
Now that Mr. Ainley had reminded her, she realized the implications.
If this were to spread online, both she and Adam Jones would be viciously slandered.
Elly’s eyebrows knit together almost imperceptibly. After a moment, she said, "When he comes back, I’ll explain everything to him. Don’t worry."
Although she said that, Elly didn’t feel very confident in her heart.
Thinking of Adam blowing up at her for using him as a shield, a slight pain coursed through her heart.
Not wanting to dwell on this, she said to Greenhill, "Do you remember the man from earlier?"
When Greenhill heard her question, he thought of the man who had cursed Elly the most vehemently at first and nodded, "I remember."
"Find a way to spread the news that we bribed him with five times the price to the others."
Greenhill was taken aback, realizing she meant the other few who had made trouble just as fiercely as that man.
After thinking it through, Greenhill understood Elly’s intent.
"CEO Campbell plans to have them turn on each other?"
Elly curved her lips into a smile, thereby confirming Greenhill’s guess.
Greenhill thought the idea was pretty good.
It was obvious that those men weren’t sincerely there to seek justice for the injured worker, but were simply being paid to target Brayman.
If they knew that one man got paid five times more than they did, whereas they received nothing, they would definitely go after him to settle the score.
With this in mind, he heard Elly continue, "Even if I really gave them five times the price, they wouldn’t dare to openly admit being bribed. That would be extortion, and they wouldn’t want to risk going to jail."
"But if they found out that one of them sold them out for five times the price, while they made a scene and got nothing, they would naturally go after that man, and we would then find out who’s behind all this."
Greenhill nodded, "This strategy of sowing discord is quite good."
Elly smiled, but said no more, the coldness in her eyes slowly intensifying.
She had initially thought it was James Campbell’s doing, but now, after giving it some thought, she realized James didn’t have the brains for it.
Elly and Greenhill arrived at the floor where the worker was located, and indeed, the hallway was packed with people; several were even eating from lunch boxes in the corridor, filling the air with the unpleasant smell of food.
The hospital security had tried several times to drive them away but failed due to their disturbances, forcing the patients staying on that floor to move to different rooms.
As soon as Elly and Greenhill appeared, someone recognized them.
"Look, those unscrupulous profiteers have come."
The moment the voice rang out, the workers who had been eating put down their lunch boxes and charged towards Elly and Greenhill.
