“Mr. Lynn was once fully interested in our projects, but now we’ve lost the chance to team up with Lynn Jewelry. Everyone who used to curry favor with us has turned their backs and cut off all ties. Even our investors are rushing to pull out their capital!”

The company shareholders spoke one after another inside the meeting room. Their own interests were severely affected, so they all demanded Chase give them a proper solution.

Seeing the whole company falling into chaos, Chase had no choice but to admit responsibility temporarily.

“I swear I was framed for what happened last night. Give me three days, and I will win back all our investors. I will also get the cooperation deal with Lynn Jewelry back on track.”

His words failed to calm anyone down. No one believed Mercer Group had a bright future ahead under the current circumstances.

Once the meeting ended, Chase hurried back to his private office to check the company’s available working funds. Soon enough, he figured out who the root cause of all his troubles

was.

He turned to his personal secretary and asked sharply, “Where is Lucy right now?”

“She heard you had come to the office and went straight home just now.”

“Went home? Who gave her permission to leave? Go call her to my office at once!”

Frightened by his anger, the secretary quickly dialed Lucy’s number, yet the line kept showing busy signals with no way to get through.

Meanwhile, Nina sat face to face with Lucy.

“I pulled you away in time earlier, or you would have landed yourself in huge trouble.”

“I only took the money to do what I was told. At worst…”

“At worst you plan to spill my name out, don’t be silly.” Nina looked at the naive woman before her and went on, “Even if Chase believes your words, he can never lay a finger on me. You are the one who started all this mess, and he will definitely push you out to take all the blame.”

Lucy frowned in confusion. “Take the blame? What do you mean?”

“Knowing his character, he will hold a press conference without hesitation. He will claim you drugged and seduced him on purpose. After that, no company in the city will ever dare hire you again.

“Mercer Group is still a listed enterprise after all. No matter how incompetent Chase is, he has more than enough power to ruin an ordinary person like you. He can make sure you have nowhere to go and struggle just to make ends meet in Linholt.”

Lucy had no doubt about what Nina said, and genuine fear crept over her.

“Then… what on earth should I do now?”

“In this situation, you have to strike first before he makes his move.”

Nina pushed a stack of cash across the table toward her.

“Add this sum to what I gave you before, and you have more than enough money to live comfortably here for quite a while. All you need to do is step out in public, expose his term workplace harassment against you, and reveal that his marriage with Katrina is nothing but a fake loving show.”

Lucy stared at the cash and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

In this way, she could gain both fame and money. What’s more, if she really ended up carrying his child later on, the Mercer family would have to pay her a large amount of compensation. The thought made her feel extremely excited.

“Rest assured, Ms. Tann. I know exactly what to say and what not to say.”

Nina nodded in satisfaction.

“Cut off all contact with people from Mercer Group during this period, and never let them track you down. Carry out our plan tonight without delay, before they release official public statements to fix their image.”

“I got it,” Lucy agreed firmly.

Before evening fell, Lucy went live on stream. She sobbed bitterly in front of the camera, publicly accusing Chase of harassing her at work for a long time. She also confirmed all past rumors about him hooking up with party girls in clubs. She even added that the former female secretary resigned simply because she could not stand his terrible conduct.

The live stream lasted four full hours and drew tens of thousands of viewers. The whole incident quickly spread all over the internet. Netizens began to blast Chase’s poor personal morals. Someone even dug up the old news that Chase and Katrina had conceived a child out. 2/3
