“Don’t worry, Ivy. I won’t have you testify about something that can’t be proven. All I need from you is to help spread the word about what Janessa has done since she joined the company” Madelyn said earnestly.

“Yes, yes. That’s exactly it,” Cheryl seconded, nodding as well.

She elaborated. “Ever since Janessa joined the company, she esse wok matters into her own hands,

making all decisions single–handedly and leaving everyone quite disgruntled. Never mind that, but despite our father being gravely ill, she hasn’t even bothered to visit him once. On top of that, she dismissed my brother and me from our positions. Don’t you think it as a bit too much?”

As she spoke, she grew increasingly infuriated. “I believe no one would a woman like her to be in

charge of such a large company.

Ivy gave a solemn nod after listening to it all.

“That was indeed a bit too much. Alright, I’ll publish a news report tomorrow. Consider it a favor from me.”

“Really? You’re the best, Ivy!”

Madelyn and Cheryl instantly broke into a smile. Jillian couldn’t help but also share in their happiness.

And so, the matter was settled.

The following day, a news report by City Express News dominated the entire internet.

Janessa, who was in the limelight recently, was surprisingly hit with a barrage of scandalous revelations.

In the news report, the editor first highlighted Janessa’s recent rise to fame, then proceeded with a series of mocking statements.

One read: The CEO of Sherritt Group gloriously inherited the company, but she’s shockingly quite the ungrateful daughter behind the scenes!

Another condemned: Her father is still gravely ill, yet she happily inherited his assets. What a cold–hearted woman!

Yet another speculated: As soon as she joined the company, her first order of business was to kick her siblings out. Is she planning to monopolize the entire company?

The multitude of shocking headlines instantly riveted the attention of all netizens.

Shortly after the news report was released, the matter was propelled to the trending list.

Upon seeing the news, netizens collectively scored and questioned Janessa.

Someone commented: I knew it! Since this woman took the rein at such a young age, she’s certainly no decent person!

Someone else questioned: How could her character be so poor? If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t adhere to the will before my father recovers.

Another person echoed: Exactly. It’s a will, but she’s already taking over her father’s business so quickly. Has she been

The next comment seconded: I wonder where she got the nerve to make such an outrageous boast.

Someone declared: From now on. I’m definitely not buying any of Sherritt Group’s products. Even if because of her character alone, I refuse to simply hand over my money for her profit.”

In an instant, the internet descended into a frenzy.

Netizens began to voice their disapproval and skepticism of Janessa over that matter.

Meanwhile, at Sherritt Group, Janessa arrived at the company early in the morning to flooded with news reports.

nd the internet

“How could this have happened?”

It drove her to the brink of insanity.

Wasn’t everything just fine yesterday? Why did so much negative press about me suddenly crop up overnight? Who on earth released all this news? How despicable!

The more Janessa dwelled upon it, the more infuriated she grew. She wished nothing more than to smash the computer in front of her.

Just then, her assistant abruptly barged into her office.

“Ms. Sherritt, bad news! The shareholders have unanimously requested your presence in the conference room for a meeting. Please hurry over!”

“A meeting? What are they up to?” Janessa asked warily.

Those cunning old foxes aren’t planning to take me to task over the news, are they?

“L… I’m not sure either, but they’ve asked you to go over,” her assistant said with his head hung low.

“Fine. Got it,” Janessa agreed begrudgingly, her impatience evident.

Then, she got up and headed toward the conference room.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was as chilly as winter, very much solemn.

The shareholders and directors sat on either side of a long, deep–brown table, each of their faces beyond

stony.

In truth, ever since the news about Janessa broke out early that morning, the company’s stock prices had been on a steady decline. The entire situation was even somewhat spiraling out of control.

The decline in stock prices also signified a loss in assets.

The shareholders had each suffered significant losses. Therefore, they all radiated resentment right then, waiting for Janessa to arrive and reproach her.

At that precise moment, the conference room door swung open, and Janessa walked in with her lips tightly pressed together in slight nervousness.

Seeing the expressions on the shareholders‘ faces, she knew deep down that a scolding was inevitable that day.

Sure enough, no sooner had the thought crossed her mind than one of the shareholders immediately began chastising her, saying, “Janessa, you must have seen the news this morning, right? Aren’t you planning to give us an explanation?”

“Exactly. Do you have any idea how drastically the company’s stock market has plummeted now?”

“You must give us an explanation regarding this matter!”

Janessa was left somewhat dazed by the barrage of condemnation. She opened her mouth yet didn’t quite
