571 How Does It Feel to Be Alone and Helpless?
Recently, Beatrice had a tough time because the public kept talking about the scandals of her company. No matter how much money she spent, she couldn't make things right
First, there was news that said that Daydream used subpar fabrics and that a customer developed a skin disease after wearing them. That customer filed a lawsuit against Daydream, and soon after, the police went to her company to investigate them
While the public was still debating the issue, the main designer of Daydream was sued by a famous French designer for copying one of his collections. As a result, many designers pointed the finger at Daydream
A few days later, someone anonymously reported their company for tax evasion. Soon after, the tax and audit departments inspected the company's financial situation. After all of this, it was difficult for her business to function normally
These troubles were one more tricky than the other. Beatrice tried to get people she knew to help her out of these troubles, but no one hada solution. Beatrice was worried but didn't know what to do. As a result, she called a meeting with all of the company's executives and asked for suggestions
During the meeting, one executive asked, somewhat nervously, "Have you offended anyone, Ms. Jones? Apparently, someone is trying to retaliate against us."
After he finished, another person echoed, "Yes! Miss Jones, could you please apologize to them? Our stock is already shrinking. If this trend

Beatrice became enraged when she heard their criticism. She slammed her water glass against the wall and yelled, "Get the hell out of here, idiots!"
The next second, the executives left her office one by one. Meanwhile,
Beatrice’s assistant did not leave but just stood still and watched her. After Beatrice waved her hand, signaling him to leave, the assistant left as well
When she was the only one left in the meeting room, Beatrice took a seat in her chair tiredly. She knew roughly what was going on. And she was lost in thought

Beatrice paced back and forth in her office, pondering her next move
She had never been in so much trouble in her life. Things were so easy for her in the past thirty years that she had never lost once. She gained a large fortune by marrying several times, which made her very proud. As a result, she didn't take Lemon seriously

And she was surprised that he didn't answer her phone. She called him again a few minutes later, but he still didn't answer. After dialing five times a row, Beatrice abandoned the plan as she realized Wayne had blackedlisted her phone number
Seems that Wayne knew | would call him, so he blacked me out; Beatrice thought. As her forehead was covered with sweat, Beatrice flipped through her address book, trying to find her lifesaver. Suddenly, her fingertip stopped on Karl's phone number
It wasn’t until then that she realized she had completely forgotten about Karl all this time. Beaming with joy and excitement, Beatrice thought to herself, Karl’s a shareholder in my company, so this issue is related to his interests. I’m sure Karl will beg mercy on my behalf! He definitely doesn’t want all his money to go to waste
Beatrice then dialed his number. Once the call was through, she heard a woman's voice. And Beatrice was taken aback for a moment before realizing the woman was Karl's wife. Peace
"Good day, Miss Jones. Sorry, my husband is currently unavailable
What can | do to help you?" Peace asked. Her tone was slightly mocking, but Beatrice wasn't in the mood to care about it
