Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 786

For the next week, Emelie stayed in Eprand, focused on managing the Ludy Fun Park incident.

Due to the PR department's effort, and the fact that no fatalities were reported, under their series of measures, they managed to salvage some of the park's reputation.

A week later, when the park reopened. The visitor numbers were down by 40% compared to before the incident. It was considered a significant success.

On the other hand, the Swanson Corporation wasn't as fortunate.

Two more severely injured victims succumbed to their injuries in the hospital. With that, the death toll was raised to six, and a massive online outcry ensued.

This made the Swanson Corporation's stock plummet over two consecutive trading days. The fallout was so severe that they lost major ongoing deals. Even the company's cash flow faltered.

However, that wasn't the worst of it. A government task force was formed to investigate the Swanson Corporation's other tech parks.

The investigation uncovered issues at two more locations, igniting public outrage and suspicion. It also put the Swanson Corporation under intense scrutiny. Every step that they took now became increasingly difficult.

Despite the Swanson Corporation's attempts at damage control, their efforts were in vain. That week felt like they were walking a tightrope for everyone at the Swanson Corporation.

Emelie avoided looking into the Swanson Corporation's situation. However, it had become a hot topic that was impossible to ignore.

While she was getting breakfast from a street vendor, Emelie overheard negative comments about the Swanson Corporation. The owner was cursing the company as he fried sausages for another customer.

Emelie carried her cottage cheese and sausage back to the car. Finally, she gave in and checked the news on her phone.

The Swanson Corporation downfall didn't happen by chance, someone had been pulling the strings behind the scenes. It wasn't hard to guess who that person might be.

Emelie finished her breakfast in silence.

"Take me to the airport," she said.

Once Emelie finished her work in Eprand, it was time to return to Coastalburg.

As she sat in her business class seat, she rested her head on her hand, and gazed out at the scenery.

Suddenly, someone sat down next to her. She glanced over casually, expecting just another passenger, only to see William.

That bastard. He had been appearing frequently where she was over the past week. He brought food, drinks, clothes, and umbrellas. Each time, he claimed it was a coincidence.

It was as if the city with 16,410 square kilometers was some small town. He made it look like running into each other was inevitable.

Emelie couldn't even bother to be annoyed. "Another coincidence?"

William chuckled. "Yeah. I suppose it's fate."

Emelie had no interest in engaging with him.

As the plane neared Coastalburg, Emelie's mood grew increasingly heavy.
