A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 132

“He was already dissatisfied when I decided to split up the company. He assumed that taking away the technology would bring me down. He was waiting for me to fail so that he could reclaim Mimosa. He never imagined I’d turn Mimosa around.

“I’ve been very careful with the quality of the products we sell. The people who stayed behind were mostly employed by my father. He couldn’t stir the pot from inside, so he spread false rumors instead.”

“Has anyone been sent to see the poisoned victims? What’s the situation?” Sage

asked.

Priscilla informed her that she had sent a trusted aide to the hospital, but the victim’s family refused to let them in. In addition, they demanded a whopping one million dollars in compensation and threatened to sue if they did not get it.

“We absolutely cannot compensate them. If we do, it would only validate their rumors.”

“Exactly,” Priscilla agreed. “I flat–out refused their unreasonable demand. But if this standoff drags on or ends up in court, it would damage the winery’s

reputation.”

Benjamin was definitely taking advantage of that. Even if the person who was poisoned tried to clear up the rumors, Benjamin could still use the same trick and get a bunch of people to claim they were poisoned. Therefore, they needed to come up with a permanent solution.

“Well, any bright ideas, Mr. Morisson?” Sage asked Shane, who hadn’t spoken up yet. “We’re comrades–in–arms now that you’ve reached an agreement with Mimosa. Do you have any solutions?”

However, Shane quipped, “Ms. Joyner, you just said it yourself. We’ve only reached an agreement. How can I invest in Mimosa if you can’t handle such a minor issue? There will be many more challengers when the winery is listed.”

His words were blunt but reasonable. Everyone in the room looked a little

embarrassed.

Priscilla assured him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Morrison. We’ll solve this issue and ensure our cooperation proceeds without a hitch.”

Shane smiled. “Very well. I’ll wait here until you guys come up with a solution.”

Sage knew that things would only get worse if they let it drag on. Suddenly, she had an eureka moment. “I’ve got a suggestion, Priscilla.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Priscilla and everyone else in the office turned to look at Sage.

Sage continued, “Since Mimosa gained its popularity on the internet, Benjamin pulled this stunt because he’s banking on the fact that we wouldn’t want to jeopardize our popularity by turning this incident into a debacle.

“Why don’t we just put it all out there and livestream the whole thing? Whether it’s going to the hospital or communicating with the victims, even if it’s as boring as visiting them to say hi, let’s livestream it for everyone to see!”

“Live stream?” One of the executives seemed concerned. “Wouldn’t that make more people aware of this incident?”

“That’s exactly the point!” Sage responded. “After all, we have nothing to hide, so we don’t need to be afraid of them. Netizens are followers, but they’re not stupid. Once we lay out the facts, they’ll figure it out on their own.” Shane’s eyes lit up when he heard her explanation.

Priscilla was ecstatic. “That’s a great idea, Sage! Livestreaming will not only satisfy the public’s curiosity but it would also put an end to Benjamin’s slanderous tricks. Who knows, it might even give Mimosa’s popularity a boost!

“Oh, Sage. You truly are Mimosa’s Lady Luck! You always come through for us! Why don’t you join Mimosa? We can work together and make it thrive!”

Sage felt a little embarrassed by all the compliments. “I’m not that skilled. The idea just came to me all of a sudden.”
