Every new rumor that appeared was quickly refuted and mocked by the farm’s supporters and stakeholders, which only fur reinforced Seafarm Group’s image as engaging in malicious competition and underhanded tactics.
What truly hurt Seafarm Group, however, was the double blow from the market and talent loss.
Their flagship high–end natural product lines, especially those expensive “premium” products aimed at soothing mental pow saw a sharp and sudden drop in sales.
Their original customers had either switched to the farm’s “Oasis” products, which had better effects and taste and were wort higher price, or had taken a wait–and–see approach, growing deeply skeptical about the value and effectiveness of Seafarm Gro offerings.

At first, they had tried to retain employees with salary increases, promotions, and even threats involving non–compete agreements.

Making money was important, but health and future security mattered more.
The farm’s products could help heal mental power damage. This had become a widely accepted fact.
No one wanted to risk being denied access to such resources in the future for themselves or their families because of a job. Especially for families with existing or potential mental power issues, leaving Seafarm Group had become a top priorite

silence. His voice was troarse and filled with resentment. “No matter what, she’s still the Hewitts‘ daughter in law in name. Even if they don’t favor her, she’s still one of them. For the sake of their reputation alone, the Hewitts would never just stand by and let her be bullied.”
“Anyone can say that after the fact,” someone shot back immediately. It was one of the vice presidents who had pushed hardest to suppress the farm. His face was dark with anger. “When we made the decision, you agreed too. You were the one saying we should crush her before she got established. And now that things went wrong, you want to push all the blame away?”
“That was based on business judgment,” the older shareholder argued, his face flushing red. “Who could have known… who could have known that what she grew would actually have that kind of effect? Who could have known the Hewitts… the Hewitts would back her to this extent?”
