At the signaling of his hand, Damon's men rushed out. With a weapon in their hands, they smashed everything in the store.
"Stop it!"
"Please, stop! It's all a misunderstanding! Please don't do this. I beg you!" the store manager pleaded.
However, Damon and his men ignored him. Besides, they had come to mess with Southlake Corporation. There was no reason for them to stop now.
From the second floor of a café opposite the store, Ginger was watching everything.
She laughed at that sight.
"This is only the beginning, Caspian. There'll be more to come for Southlake Corporation. Let's see how you'll save your sorry asses when there are quality issues at every store," she murmured.
Ginger's favorite pastime was to disrupt other businesses. She was willing to go to great lengths as long as she could drive Southlake Corporation out of Dhord City.
After all, she had already spent ten million dollars on hiring Damon.
The money was well spent, it seemed. Everything was within their control.
Once this matter escalated, Southlake Corporation's products would definitely be hit with an unprecedented blow!
It would be hard for them to restore their reputation.
Ginger would then take this opportunity to contact the media sites to report on this matter.
Even if Willow were to come forward and give a statement, she wouldn't be able to fix their tarnished reputation.
…
Willow rushed over as soon as she heard about the news.
"What happened?"
Willow became anxious instantly when she saw the wrecked store.
When she was about to go in, Caspian stopped her.
"Slow down. Let's see what they came here for," Caspian said calmly.
"I want to make it clear, hubby. Our products would never have poison in them," Willow said anxiously.
Their products had quality control at every stage. It was just not possible that their products would be compromised.
They had to give a statement and clarify the matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, the loss they would have to bear would be unimaginable if the matter were to get out of hand.
"Not now. They won't believe you even if you were to go in and explain everything." Caspian intercepted Willow when she tried to go over.
He suspected that someone had intentionally tampered with their products. This method was too unethical.
Rebecca had also arrived at the scene.
"Mr. Lynch is right, Willow. You mustn't go in. If you do, you're playing into their hands," Rebecca advised.
Having been in the entertainment industry for such a long time, Rebecca had seen all sorts of ploys people would use to attain their goals.
"But we can't just stand here and watch from afar, can we?" Willow was suddenly at a loss, not knowing what she should do.
It would be difficult for them to find the mastermind who was behind this devious plan.
Even if they were to find the culprit, it would be impossible for them to reenter the market when Southlake Corporation's reputation had already been tarnished.
"Stay here, Willow. I'll go in with Rebecca," Caspian said.
"Are you sure this is fine? Won't Rebecca's appearance make things worse?" Willow exclaimed in a worried tone.
Rebecca was influential in Diatoran now.
Her appearance would definitely stir the emotions of the fans.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely be able to solve this problem," Caspian said with a smile.
"Rebecca, are you willing to solve this crisis with me?"
Even though she had no clue what Caspian's plan was, she agreed to help them out.
She believed Caspian would protect her.
"Both of you, be careful!" Willow said.
She could only rely on Caspian now because she really didn't know what she could do anymore.
"Refund immediately!"
"That's right! I can't believe Southlake Corporation sells such low-quality products!"
"Do you want to kill us? Refund us now, or I'll wreck your store!"
"What the fuck do you think you're doing? Stop him!" Damon shouted. He panicked when he saw Caspian walk over to the stretcher.
Some of the thugs stepped forward and blocked Caspian.
"Move!" Caspian shouted loudly. Then, he threw a few punches.
Several men fell to the ground.
Caspian approached the stretcher and pulled the white cloth off.
He couldn't hold in his laughter upon seeing the corpse on the stretcher.
"You guys are really something! I can't believe your friend is old! He looks like he's about 70 or 80 years old.
"If you want to slander our company, at least do it well. You think you could just get a random corpse and say that there's something wrong with our products?" Caspian said as he scorned.
There had to be something wrong with Damon's head.
This corpse was obviously an elderly man, but now Damon was claiming that he was their friend.
Were they not afraid of being a laughing stock if news about this got out?
Damon was momentarily speechless when he heard what Caspian said.
He had actually prepared a lot for this task. Initially, he wanted to find someone to fake his death, but after giving it some thought, he thought that it would be better to find a real corpse.
He thought that no reasonable person would go and check the corpse.
Who could have known that Caspian would appear and remove the white cloth, exposing everything?
"Why do you care? Friendship knows no age! This old man was a buddy of mine! He was poisoned to death after using your product!
"How do you plan on resolving this issue? Don't even think about placing the responsibility on something else! We won't have it!"
Damon quickly changed the subject.
This was the first time Caspian had met someone so shameless.
He didn't even need extra time to come up with this nonsense.
"You claimed that this old man died because he consumed our product. Where is the product you bought? Show it to me!" Caspian shouted loudly.
