What happened at the DT Agency building was indeed photographed and uploaded online by the onlookers and was causing an uproar.
It was definitely going to affect DT’s reputation.
However, no one took photos of what happened in the Drago’s villa.
With his image salvaging character, he was never going to let his subordinates reveal the story.
Once the equity transfer contract of Drago Real Estate Agency was signed tomorrow with Drago, the public opinion on the internet was going to change itself.
Moreover, Jack was confident that once the news of equity transfer was released, DT’s momentum was going to rise again.
After all, Drago Real Estate Agency was one of the very best in the industry.
Not only that, it was also a listed company.
DT held the West Shantytowns renovation project in its hand and the promotion of such a large-scale project was enough to make the share price of Drago Real Estate rise.
For Jack, it was like killing two birds with one stone.
He didn’t need to worry.
However, he did not tell Corbin about the details, and let him leave after pacifying him a bit.
The protest to force Jack into mourning became more popular online.
The public opinion became more and more against Jack and DT Real Estate Agency.
For most of the day, the employees of DT watched various news online about the incident, panicking all day long.
TM Villa District.
Sophie was watching the news on her phone, frowning, she didn’t look well.
On the screen, there was a picture of Jack among the banners in the protest.
As Jack’s mother, seeing this made her feel like she was being stabbed to death.
Who on earth did Jack even provoke?
How could he be persecuted in this way?
She was upset.
“Ms. Burton, what’s the matter?”
Daisy came over with a plate full of fruit and asked.
“Jack is in trouble.” Sophie sighed and handed the phone to Daisy.
Daisy’s pretty face sank as she glanced at the screen, “How can these people do that to him? Do they have no conscience?”
Her job was given by Jack and the incident last time in Seasky estate, Jack rescued her.
She was very grateful to Jack.
She had worked for such a long time but had never met such a boss.
She also didn’t believe what the news said!
A boss who worked so hard for his subordinates, he could never kill someone.
After calming down, she hurriedly comforted Sophie, “Ms. Burton, don’t worry, this is not official news. This is just made up by people on social media. Mr. Hughes must be fine. Why don’t you call and ask him?”
“Of course, I believe my son!”
Sophie raised her eyebrows and smiled, “I am just angry at the news. Forget about it, Jack must be busy already. I don’t want to call and disturb him; he might get worried about my health.”
At this moment Mr. Ward and Brent entered the room.
“Madam.”
Mr. Ward nodded respectfully to Sophie.
Sophie smiled and said, “Mr. Ward, just call me Sophie. After so many years, I can’t bear you call me Madam.”
He smiled slightly and brought Brent closer, but his eyes had already caught the glimpse of the mobile phone screen.
He smiled and said, “Madam, don’t worry! Master Jack is not afraid of any gossip.”
“I know how he is.” Sophie looked at Mr. Ward with her deep eyes and smiled, “He still has a lot to learn from you, Mr. Ward.”
He nodded lightly.
Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand motioning Brent and Daisy to retreat temporarily.
After they both had walked out of the room, he asked Sophie meaningfully, “Madam, are you really not going to tell Master Jack?”
Sophie smiled bitterly, “So many years have passed, it’s all in the past. Why bother him?”
