Chapter 132


    “He was already dissatisfied when I decided to split up thepany. He assumed that taking away the


    technology would bring me down. He was waiting for me to fail so that he could reim Mimosa. He


    never imagined I’d turn Mimosa around.


    “I’ve been very careful with the quality of the products we sell. The people who stayed behind were


    mostly employed by my father. He couldn’t stir the pot from inside, so he spread false rumors instead.”


    “Has anyone been sent to see the poisoned victims? What’s the situation?” Sage


    asked.

    Prisci informed her that she had sent a trusted aide to the hospital, but the victim’s family refused to


    let them in. In addition, they demanded a whopping one million dors inpensation and threatened


    to sue if they did not get it.


    “We absolutely cannotpensate them. If we do, it would only validate their rumors.”


    “Exactly,” Prisci agreed. “I t–out refused their unreasonable demand. But if this standoff drags on


    or ends up in court, it would damage the winery’s


    reputation.”


    Benjamin was definitely taking advantage of that. Even if the person who was poisoned tried to clear up


    the rumors, Benjamin could still use the same trick and get a bunch of people to im they were


    poisoned. Therefore, they needed toe up with a permanent solution.


    “Well, any bright ideas, Mr. Morisson?” Sage asked Shane, who hadn’t spoken up yet. “We’re


    comrades–in–arms now that you’ve reached an agreement with Mimosa. Do you have any solutions?”


    However, Shane quipped, “Ms. Joyner, you just said it yourself. We’ve only reached an agreement.


    How can I invest in Mimosa if you can’t handle such a minor issue? There will be many more


    challengers when the winery is listed.”


    His words were blunt but reasonable. Everyone in the room looked a little


    embarrassed.

    Prisci assured him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Morrison. We’ll solve this issue and ensure our cooperation


    proceeds without a hitch.”


    Shane smiled. “Very well. I’ll wait here until you guyse up with a solution.”


    Sage knew that things would only get worse if they let it drag on. Suddenly, she had an eureka


    moment. “I’ve got a suggestion, Prisci.”


    Prisci and everyone else in the office turned to look at Sage.


    Sage continued, “Since Mimosa gained its poprity on the inte, Benjamin pulled this stunt


    because he’s banking on the fact that we wouldn’t want to jeopardize our poprity by turning this


    incident into a debacle.


    “Why don’t we just put it all out there and livestream the whole thing? Whether it’s going to the hospital


    ormunicating with the victims, even if it’s as boring as visiting them to say hi, let’s livestream it for


    everyone to see!”


    “Live stream?” One of the executives seemed concerned. “Wouldn’t that make more people aware of


    this incident?”


    “That’s exactly the point!” Sage responded. “After all, we have nothing to hide, so we don’t need to be


    afraid of them. Netizens are followers, but they’re not stupid. Once wey out the facts, they’ll figure it


    out on their own.” Shane’s eyes lit up when he heard her exnation.


    Prisci was ecstatic. “That’s a great idea, Sage! Livestreaming will not only satisfy the public’s


    curiosity but it would also put an end to Benjamin’s nderous tricks. Who knows, it might even give


    Mimosa’s poprity a boost!


    “Oh, Sage. You truly are Mimosa’s Lady Luck! You alwayse through for us! Why don’t you join


    Mimosa? We can work together and make it thrive!”


    Sage felt a little embarrassed by all thepliments. “I’m not that skilled. The idea just came to me all


    of a sudden.”
