Final Nail In The Coffin
When Carla arrived on level 68, Jamal, Mosa, and the upper management of Divine Corporation were already waiting for her.
After a discussion with Jamal, they decided to hold a press conference the next afternoon, and Mosa would announce the event to the public.
However, Jamal was still anxious. "Judging from the situation, I think the media companies have been bribed. What if they refuse to listen to your explanation and solely condemn you? How should we deal with it?"
"Have the legal team join the press conference." Carla came up with a decision without hesitation. "We'll speak with evidence. Record the attendance of all the media companies. Should there be any attempt to defame me, we'll issue a letter of demand immediately."
"That's a great way to do it." He nodded and said, "I've sent someone to investigate the matter. Let's hope we'll find out the culprit soon enough."
"Come to think of it, to be courageous enough to go against Giblo Group openly, the person behind this must be some formidable force." A deep frown creased her forehead.
"Who can it be?" Jamal could not wrap his head around the situation. "I really can't think of anyone."
"Let's put this aside for now. Get ready for the press conference instead." Compared to him, Carla was more levelheaded. "We'll take it one step at a time."
"All right."
Jamal left afterward.
Carla was prepared to go through the documents when Mosa came to report to her. "Ms. Lierger, a new rumor has been released."
"What is it about?" Carla was still flipping the pages.
"This time, they've gotten Mr. Lierger involved. He's accused of being the mastermind of your revenge plan…" Mosa said in a soft voice.
That made Carla stop looking through the documents. Extending her hand, she took the tablet from Mosa. Rage colored her features as she scrolled through the page.
The rumors claimed that the downfall of Lierger Corporation was due to Daemon's mismanagement and that he had instructed Carla to target Giblo Group because he lacked the resources to rebuild their family's legacy.
At the same time, they also listed out examples and pieces of evidence that showed how Lierger Corporation plotted against Giblo Group in the past. The article was written in a convincing fashion, and one would easily believe that it was the truth.
Fury blazed up within Carla after she read everything.
This is too much! It's one thing to accuse me, but to drag Daemon into this! Daemon is a principled man. He's not the kind of person that will covet things that don't belong to him. Heck, he might not even accept them even if they were presented to him as a gift!
"This article went viral, and many netizens believe it." While observing her expression, Mosa uttered cautiously, "Now, many media companies are trying to get in touch with our public relations department: hoping to get updates."
Carla was enraged, but she remained rational. Putting down the tablet, she replied calmly, "We'll deal with this at tomorrow's press conference."
"But…" Mosa looked at her worriedly. "New rumors keep sprouting. If we wait till tomorrow, the stock price of Giblo Group may—"
"What do you mean by new rumors?" Carla was exasperated.
"Just a minute ago, there's another article…"
Mosa's voice trailed off, for she was too afraid to continue the sentence.
"What is it about?" Carla asked impatiently.
"L-Look at it yourself." Mosa opened up a link on the tablet.
Carla took over the tablet. Upon reading the content, she flew into a rage. Slamming her fist on the table, she stood up and roared, "What the f_ck!"
The article claimed that Randy, Josh, and Venus were not Zayn's children but Daemon's.
Attached to the post were photos of the three children, and the author claimed that they all looked like Daemon but not Zayn.
However, the post omitted the relationship between Carla and Daemon, giving the readers the wrong impression while stirring up ripples of suspense.
Nevertheless, it was like the final nail in the coffin, thwarting Carla's plans to clear her name.
If she could not furnish any solid evidence, then the matter might be beyond salvaging.
However, Zayn had gone missing, and Jombo was dead. Even if she wanted to perform a DNA test, she could not find anyone to prove her children's biological relationship with the Giblo family.
