It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 222

"I asked around already, she did all of it in secret. The media and press she invited are all tied to other companies. I heard that she only alerted the entertainment journalists half an hour before the live conference started. Since she has always been a low-key artist, they rarely have a chance to interview her, so as soon as she announced the press conference, they made it live. From what I heard, that was also Coco's own request." Aaron stared intently at the computer screen, and feared that Coco might bring up some difficult topics that they couldn't properly deal with.

"Okay, leave her alone for the time being, let's see what she's going to say first; then we'll deal with the problems one by one in public." Edward was speeding through the city, and his expression grew even more perplexed by each passing moment.

"Yes, Mr. Edward. I've asked the administration of our entertainment company to take the necessary actions. I also sent people to the conference to keep a close eye on things." This was the most important reason that Edward highly valued Aaron Qiao. He was always able to calmly and steadily take all the necessary precautions when Edward was not in the office.

"Good! I'm on my way to the company right now. We'll talk about solutions later." Edward stepped harder on the throttle, with only a sarcastic smirk on his face.

He found it funny that people could underestimate him so much just because he had been quiet in the media for a while. Somehow they were able to set up a live press conference for his artist without his permission, and he was surprised at the people's boldness. Now that they had openly stood against him, he would like to find out which entertainment magazines were involved in this. He promised to himself that he'd bring their business to a new level, only it would be a level on which they couldn't afford to get on. Edward wondered if they had forgotten that he was the smiling tiger. He loved to destroy his opponents while talking and laughing with them.

"Mr. Edward, you're back!" The moment Edward arrived on the top floor of FX International, Aaron and Anna approached him and waited for new directions.

"What's the current situation?" He asked. While he quickly walked towards his office, he was entirely focused on the issue. His severe aura was almost fatal.

"Up until now, there haven't been any extreme comments, but everyone's questioning Clint's ability in directing. They are asking if the casting couch scandal was because of FX International's acquiescence. Some even suggested that someone higher up in our company doesn't want to take responsibilities on certain matters, and that he should be held accountable." Anna reported all of this as she carefully observed Edward's face, because she knew who the 'someone' Coco mentioned was, and also the scandal that Coco was referring to.

"Huh! So is this her endgame? She's going quite a long way to do this. To pressure me through the media? If she's doing all of this just to simply get a chance to act, can't she see how much this is going to cost her?" Edward laughed coldly, and thought, 'Very good, she's gambling her career for Jessica's delusion. Do they think I'm going to cave in? I got to say that they're being way too naive.'

Aaron was quite confused by the report, because he was not yet aware of Jessica's pregnancy, so he didn't make the connection between the mistake of a company higher-up and his CEO. The conversation between Edward and Anna was very cryptic to Aaron.

"Mr. Edward, should we clarify some things now?" Anna glanced at Edward, uneasy. She was not sure if some other determined enemies would pick up on these things and make a huge buzz out of them. If that happened, then how would they explain everything to Mrs. Mu?
