Chapter 239 Corporate Trap
This cold and efficient set of rules had long been embedded in the DNA of textim Group and had been proven unstoppable in countless past business battles
Back at the farm. Fiona’s face was pale as she shut off her device, which had been flooding with alerts abusive messages Peter Selina, and the other kids looked at the adults, unsure of what the grim expressions on their faces
they saw
Tiffany, Melton, and the others scrolled through the disgusting comments on Staret, gritting their teeth in anger and curing those online trolls under their breath.
Only Elizabeth, at the center of the storm, remained unhurried as she finished checking the energy stones in one of the formations.
She dusted the dirt off her hands and accepted the incoming call from Jeremy
On the other side of the holographic screen, Jeremy’s face showed clear concern and apology. “Mrs. Hewitt, we saw what’s happening online. Mro. Zaylee asked me to check if you need the Hewitts to step in and clarify things”
Jeremy, please thank Mrs. Zaylee for me. It’s just a small matter, no need for her to worry Elizabeth said. There was not a trace of concern on her face.
She even gave a faint, unreadable smile.
“They think they can destroy my farm?” she murmured to herself, her gaze sweeping over the tender green shoots quietly sprouting from the rich soil. “That depends on whether they’re capable of it.”
Elizabeth truly did not care.
She believed that in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were meaningless.
Rather than waste time getting angry, she would rather use that time to strengthen the farm.
By the time her device chimed with another incoming call, she had just finished setting the core of the defensive formation.
Seeing the name “Mr. Sharp” on the screen, she assumed he was calling to comfort her as well.
The holographic projection opened, revealing George’s slightly heavyset but still energetic face. However, the usual warmth in his expression was replaced with lingering worry.
“Elizabeth, George began, his voice gentle and reassuring, “don’t take all that nonsense on Starnet to heart! People like us, and all those long–time customers who’ve stood in line and bought your products, we’ve all tasted your food ourselves. That flavor, that feeling of comfort after eating it, how could that be fake? Don’t worry, we don’t believe any of that garbage!”

Elizabeth felt a warmth in her chest and said sincerely, “Thank you, Mr. Sharp. I’m fine. The truth will speak for itself.”
“Exactly!” George nodded. He chatted a bit more about how he had been feeling lately and asked whether the farm had been busy, but there was a clear hesitation in his tone, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
Finally, he sighed, unable to hide the discouragement on his face. “Elizabeth, there’s something I need to tell you. Our Mercury Plaza… it’s probably going to change owners soon.”
Elizabeth frowned slightly. “Change owners?”
“Yeah,” George said with a bitter smile. “The Sharps… well, we ran into some issues. Cash flow’s tight. Mercury Plaza hasn’t had much traffic these past years, and the maintenance costs are high. On top of that, there are some old planning restrictions that have kept it from ever really turning a profit. It’s become quite a burden. In the end, we had no choice but to sell.”
The news surprised Elizabeth.
She asked instinctively, “Who’s the new owner? Will it affect the current vendors?”
George replied, “Seafarm Group. Their representative said they plan to renovate the plaza into an affordable, consumer–friendly natural produce supermarket and experience center.”
He paused, then added with concern, “Elizabeth, I know I gave you special permission before, but once ownership changes, the rules might change too. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, if you plan to keep setting up your stall there, I suggest you check in with the new management first and get registered. But don’t worry too much!”
His tone softened again. “It’s just a mobile stall, not part of their core development plans. I’ll talk to them for you. A big company like Seafarm Group wouldn’t be so petty over something like that.”
“Seafarm Group?” Elizabeth repeated the name. A faint, almost mocking smile appeared on her face. “Mr. Sharp, thank you for
