Chapter 228 Nadine was still holding the script when she froze.
After a while, she slowly looked at the assistant. "Didn't we buy off all the media outlets? Why are they reporting this?" She quickly grabbed her phone and checked the news, only to be stunned.
Not only had the media reported on it, but the entire conversation she'd just had with Josephine was fully exposed! Josephine wasn't bluffing. She was actually being serious! Nadine quickly called Bryce. The moment the call connected, she snapped.
"Didn't you say you handled the media? What's going on? Why are they accepting her stories? "What the hell have you been doing?" Bryce replied helplessly. "At around 8:00 pm, the media outlets canceled their partnership with us one after another. I've been working overton this.
"I was blindsided by the latest news too. I'm asking them about what just happened." "Asking them? What's the point? The news is already out! Just think of a way to fix this now!" Bryce sighed. "It's too late for that. The only thing we can do is to let it die down on its own. Nadine, I'm afraid you'll never shed the 'homewrecker' label.
"Now that they released screen recordings, it's something you can't just photoshop. Just lay low and let the dust settle.
"Or like what Mr. Forbes suggested, you could go on a reality show. We can cup with a script to help you gain ssympathy." Nadine was so furious that she hung up.
Let this die down? Gain ssympathy? What she wanted was for her nto be cleared! She didn't want any sympathy.

At that moment, Zayn was already in Crestwood. The moment he landed, he headed straight to Forbes Group to deal with the company matters.
He also had to prepare for the upcoming shareholders' meeting.
Forbes Group had been holding frequent shareholders' meetings lately because of the wild fluctuation in the share prices.
It had shown no signs of stabilizing.
The root cause of this all was none other than Zayn! Forbes to create up's share price was able new highs, thanks to the image of the perfect marriage between Zayn and Josephine.
Now that the image was destroyed, the share price started dwindling.
It would've been fine if it had only been a divorce. The share price would eventually stabilize.
After all, gossip tended to fade away shortly-usually in a week.
Unexpectedly, as the divorce scandal was dying down, the mistress scandal erupted.
This time, the news was even bigger.
How could the shareholders sit by and do nothing? If this continued, their shares would eventually be worth nothing. They were fosing money when old weren't doing anything.
None of them could sleep soundly at night.
As the chairman and face of the company, Zayn had to take full responsibility.
He should issue an apology and provide a plan that could satisfy the shareholders.
"Mr. Forbes, the shareholders' meeting is about to begin. You m should head over. The newly hired female assistant blushed as she looked at Zayn. She had only been here for a week, but every tshe laid eyes on him, her heart would pound.

She knew that Zayn was way out of her league, so she just admired him from afar, never daring to show her feelings openly. Zayn grabbed the documents on his desk, and then walked confidently into the conference room.
The moment he opened the door, the first person he saw was Yvan.
Unlike other shareholders who were dressed in formal suits, Yvan wearing a flashy hoodie with of stone-washed, ripped jeans.
Even his knees were exposed.
He was sitting on the chair with one leg crossed over the other, which looked disrespectful.
After taking a glance at him, Zayn looked away. His focus landed on the shareholders.
Something caught him by surprise.
There was an elderly man with silver hair sitting at the table. That man must've been the mystery person who had acquired Josephine's shares.
He had been searching high and low for this person, trying to make contact, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, he'd shown up here.
