Chapter 923
The reporters that Kevan had arranged were waiting outside the courthouse.
At least ten cameras pointed at Edmund as soon as
on as he came out.
There were continuous shutter clicks. Reporters were bombarding him with questions.
These finally exacerbated Edmund’s already volatile emotions.
“Get the hell out of here! All of you! Get the hell out!” he yelled.
His facial expression was so scary that it was almost distorted.
His outburst was captured on cameras.
It was spread across the entire Caldor’s internet that day.
He was somewhat of a public figure in Caldor, just not as famous as his own brother, Cody, or his cousin, Kevan.
This was due to his connections with Soaring Corporation and the Regal Dynasty Hotel
So. him committing a crime and serving time in Aldovia became a sensation.
The story had a significant social impact because of the incident itself and the shame it brought to the nation.
Most media in Caldor was under Kevan’s control. They added their own spin to the story of “Edmund’s abduction of a young woman.”
Coupled with the powerful imaginations of netizens, soon, Edmund was slapped with the label of “rapist.”
As the keywords “Rogers family” and “sexual assault were linked together, netizens dug up old stories about Bernard and Cody.
They devalued the entire Rogers family and the plummeting Soaring Corporation.
There were even calls to boycott Soaring Corporation.
Netizens refused to buy Soaring Corporation’s properties or stay in their hotels. They pledged not to contribute a cent to its coffers.
Anthony called Kevan again.
“Kevan, why don’t you come back? Anthony’s tone was filled with helplessness.
Kevan had already learned about the turmoil in his home country from Dylan.
However, he chose to act oblivious. “Why? What’s going on?”
“Soaring.” Anthony choked up. “Soaring Corporation can’t hold on any longer. The employees’ salaries can’t be paid. Cody is considering filing for bankruptcy liquidation.”
It was very difficult for him to say those words; he was the one within the entire Rogers family who least wanted to see Soaring
Corporation fall.
It was not for status or money, but because of his emotional attachment to the family’s late.
“What do you want me to do?” Kevan asked calmly.
“Would you consider buying Soaring Corporation from Cody? Maybe you can merge it with Microworks Corporation? This might be the
best solution,” Anthony suggested cautiously.
Indeed, Microworks Corporation had the capability to ensure Soaring Corporation’s continued operation.
Microworks Corporation might even be able to revive Soaring Corporation’s past glory.
But Kevan did not want that.
“I won’t give Cody a single dime.”

“Dad, you can save your breath next time if you want me to help Soaring Corporation.”
Kevan still pretended to be an “amneslac.” So, he could say heartless words without feeling bad.
Anthony hesitated for a while and changed the subject.
“So when are you bringing Larissa back? Your mother keeps talking about her at home.”
Kevan’s pursed lips finally relaxed.
His tone softened. “We’ll be back once Soaring Corporation is gone.”
