Chapter 199
The assistant was genuinely impressed watching Aurora spring into action with such swift, clear–headed responses.
She was newly promoted and didn’t know Aurora well.
When she first saw the news, she’d thought the sky was falling
But now, seeing how Aurora handled it–sharp, composed, and efficient–brought a sense of unexpected reassurance.
Still, just as the two of them began to catch their breath, the situation escalated again–faster than anyone could have predicted.
Not long after, the assistant returned in a rush, unable to keep the situation under control.
“Bad news, Miss Aurora!”
“It’s not just the supplier I mentioned earlier–more and more manufacturers are pulling out one after another. If this keeps up, we’ll have to shut down every ongoing project.”
Aurora’s hand froze, pen hovering in midair.
Only then did the full weight of the crisis hit her.
Things were unraveling too fast–unnaturally fast. It felt as if someone powerful was orchestrating everything from the shadows.

“Start by calming the suppliers,” Aurora instructed. “Also, track down whoever’s spreading this online. We’re not going to sit
back and take this.”
“Understood, I’ll look into it now.”

to control.
This was the weight that came with running a corporation.
Aurora studied the online posts carefully, combing through every word.
Something about it felt off, as if she’d missed a crucial detail.

But no matter how hard she tried to pinpoint it, the answer just wouldn’t come to her.
Not yet.
All she could do now was wait for her assistant to reach the suppliers and try to contain the damage.
Walton Corporation couldn’t afford to lose these manufacturers.
The losses would be far beyond what she could personally cover.
A while later, the assistant returned, looking utterly defeated.

“Miss Aurora, they’re not giving us any room to negotiate. When I called, their tone was downright hostile. I explained our position, and they told me to clean up our own mess before talking business again.
“One of them even cursed us. They said they hoped the company would go bankrupt!!
Aurora’s gaze darkened. “The one who cursed us–cut ties. We’re not working with someone that petty and unprofessional.
