Chapter 800 Mildew Family Scandals
A man who looked like a loafer said, “Dad, what’s the big deal? Don’t we have one or two scandals surface every once in a while? The news will die down, and the stock price will naturally go back up. Is there any need for such a fuss?”
“A fuss!” Arlo said coldly, tossing the newspaper from the desk onto the man’s face. “You have the nerve to call this a fuss! When has a scandal not involved you? You spend all day doing nothing but chasing women. You’re constantly in the news, flirting with celebrities. This time, you even got into a brawl and injured someone over some starlet! If you’re so capable, have the decency not to claim you’re a Mildew family member!”
Phineas retorted discontentedly, “Dad, how can you blame me? I’m a Mildew family descendant, after all. It would be a bigger disgrace to the Mildew family if I couldn’t even win a fight over a woman. Besides, I don’t want to be idle; it’s because you favor George and
gave all the authority to him, keeping us out of company affairs. If we have nothing to do, then we’re going to be idle! So, this is partially your responsibility.”
“Nonsense!” Arlo roared. “How dare you say such a thing? Didn’t I let you work at the company before? What kind of trouble did you cause there? Do you have no self–awareness? The entire company nearly turned into your personal harem! Do you think I could possibly let you stay there? If George hadn’t held the company together all these years, would you be living so easily?”
Stellan quickly interjected, “Yes, Dad, please don’t be angry. We know we lack George’s abilities, and we will be more careful in the future. The most urgent thing right now is to figure out who exposed this news about the Mildew family and what their objective is.”
Arlo frowned, saying menacingly, “Who do you think would dare to openly oppose us so blatantly after the Mildew family has been in Radovia for so many years?”
Stellan instantly looked up at the patriarch. “The Stint family.”
Arlo snorted. “Excluding that old fool Callen, I truly can’t imagine who else would dare to set a trap for the Mildew family.”
Stellan looked puzzled. “But our two families have been relatively peaceful this past year. Why would Callen suddenly resort to foul play against us now?”
Arlo sneered. “Callen’s biggest ambition his entire life has been to destroy Mildew Corp. This obsession has stayed with him forever. Do you think he would ever truly let it rest? He’s been quiet this year, but being quiet doesn’t mean he won’t take action. These scandals might just be his latest masterpiece.”

Stellan hesitated. “But if it truly is him, why release our scandals now, of all times? What is his purpose in doing this?”
Arlo looked grave. “That’s what I’m most puzzled about. For now, we can only wait for his next move to understand his objective.”
Just then, a knock sounded on the study door.
