Everyone gawked at that influencer. Who the heck is this? Did the guy just insult Vinson in public? Even if Soir Coffee is shut down in the end because of its problematic ingredients, it still won’t shake Nightshire Group. Vinson’s gonna get back at his enemies by then. This guy’s dead!
Everyone turned their heads to the top brass on the stage.
The management was surprised, but they collected themselves quickly. “The CEO isn’t hiding from this matter. He’s just collecting some evidence. Once he’s done, we’ll tell everyone about the truth. No secrets.”
Before anyone could ask him anything, the top brass put the mic down and left the hall.
Right after he left, the influencer became more brazen. “Evidence my foot. A group of patrons can’t be wrong. What? Does he think someone’s out there to set him up? I bet he’ll only show up once someone’s dead.”
Everyone else started whispering among themselves.
“Do you think Mr. Nightshire is hiding because he’s guilty?”
“I don’t think so. Cafés can’t be set up that easily. They have to go through a lot of quality inspection trials. One of the most important ones is food safety. Maybe Mr. Nightshire does have evidence on his hand.”
“Or maybe they’re trying to come up with some PR
stunt. Someone will probably be the scapegoat. I mean, not the first time a company has shifted the blame onto an intern.”
