Chapter 929
“Now, it''s not just about you buying trolls online. Those Te owners are going crazy on Twitter, trying to stir up trouble and
demandingpensation! You''re driving me crazy!"
Ashlyn was also shocked. She never thought her actions would be exposed.
She couldn''t even cry now. Wiping away her tears, she nervously looked at Mrs. Ritter and asked, "Mom, what should we do
now? | didn''t expect the bacsh to be so big. | thought by insulting Sylvia and venting our anger a little bit... we could feel
better."
"Stupid!" Mrs. Ritter red at her fiercely. "I used to think you became mature but now it seems like you''re naive as before!"
"Mom... | did it to make you feel better too! But | had no idea that Sylvia had such power - she even got ess to our bank
records and chat logs..." Ashlyn squeezed her palms tightly together in panic, with a face so pale that there was hardly any blood
left in it. "Mom... how did she get all of this? Mom... I''m scared."
"You''re in Urgford while she''s far away in Larro - what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Ritter was so angry that she wanted to p herself
for having such an ipetent daughter.
Te is an electric carpany under the Ritter Group which produces electric cars, sr panels, and energy storage devices.
Originally positioned as a mid-to-high-end brand with good sales performance, it has always beenpetitive against Franklin''s
MI6 which is also involved in new energy development.
Te has always targeted mid-to-high-end consumers, and its promotional slogan has always been strong endurance ability.
The pride of Te electric carses from their battery pack consisting of over 7 thousand batteries.
It won''t catch fire even if there is a short circuit, and individual battery damage will not affect others-this battery control system is
developed by Te itself without any history of battery failure.
If there hadn''t been brake failures, Te would have eventually surpassed Franklin MI6''s new energy vehicles.
However, no one expected brake failures on such arge scale; it wasn''t just one or two cases, but many more happening every
day now.
There have been nearly a hundred videos and jokes about Te on the inte, with trending topics popping up one after
another.
#Security guard stops Te from entering parking lot, iming it''s for the safety of all vehicles
#Te worth $1. 5 million drops to 60 km/h on highway, owner frightened!
#All vehicles avoid Te when it appears
#Female owner protests at Te car show
A perfectly good car brand is almost being ruined byizens. Mrs. Ritter looked at the public opinion on the inte and the
situation of Tes all over the country, including more and more owners protesting and epting media interviews.
Even protests are bing more intense, making her so angry.
She just called Donovan when he cursed her out. "You raised a good daughter who has now caused us to go bankrupt!"
"A perfectly goodpany is now aughing stock."
After cursing Mrs. Ritter out, Donovan frantically told his secretary. "Hold a meeting immediately in each department toe up
with a solution!" Avoiding is not an option.
The protesting owners are causing trouble in 4S stores and even at car shows; their reaction is too big. But theirpany still
refuses to identify what caused these idents.
Car owners have lost patience long ago; they want nothing but for theirpany to explode where they stand.
One by one, executives from the Ritter Group came into the conference room where Donovan sat in first ce with an angry
face looking at these executives. "We muste up with an effective PR n; we must resolve this crisis of reputation and
credit as soon as possible.”
"| don''t care how you do it; you must..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Chief Financial Officer trembled as he stood up reporting. "Mr. Ritter... our stock price has
plummeted..."
“Plummeted? How much?" Donovan red fiercely at CFO before shouting loudly, "How much?"
"This morning''s drop was over 6%, breaking through $700 per share value which reduced our market capitalization by $4. 6
billion dors!"
"Damn it!" Donovan felt dizzy while his brain went nk.
He suddenly sat down hard onto his chair trembling all over, his mouth foaming white...
"Mr. Ritter!"
"Mr. Ritter! What''s going on?"
“What happened? Call an ambnce!"
“Hurry up!"
The conference room was in chaos, "Call Mrs. Ritter! Notify her and Miss Ashlyn!"
The vice president quickly arranged work affairs, "The PR department needs to register an ID on Twitter and verify it! First issue
an apology statement! The rest can wait until Mr. Ritter wakes up!"
The ambnce rushed into Urgford''s best hospital with sirens ring, the emergency room doctor had been waiting there for a
long time and everything proceeded smoothly as they were pushed into the emergency room for examination.
After more than ten minutes, the doctor hurriedly ran out to several high-level executives of the Ritter Group and said, "Where
are the family members? Who is the family member? The patient has suffered a stroke with intracranial bleeding and is in critical
condition! Please sign here; surgery must be performed immediately.”
The vice president urgently asked his secretary next to him, "Has Mrs. Ritter arrived yet? Where is she?"
The secretary quickly replied, "Mrs. Ritter is on her way; she should be here soon. I''ll call her again.”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
As soon as she picked up her phone, the elevator door opened and Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn rushed out together; both mother and
daughter were pale-faced with sweat pouring down their foreheads - they didn''t care about their image as wealthy socialites now.
Mrs. Ritter rushed over to the doctor,"I am his wife; | am his wife - how is he doing?"
"The patient needs immediate craniotomy surgery - please sign these consent forms." The doctor put all of them in front of Mrs.
Ritters face.
Mrs. Ritters head was buzzing loudly- she couldn''t believe what was happening before staring at that surgical consent form
incredulously, "Craniotomy surgery? Are you kidding me?! My husband has always been healthy."
"Missus, your husband had a stroke due to extreme emotional stress which led to intracranial bleeding causing him life-
threatening danger if we don''t operate immediately- if you dy signing this document any longer then his condition will be
increasingly uncontroble."
Having seen too many angry rtives before who didn''t understand medical procedures well enough, the doctor patiently
exined, "So please sign it quickly.”
"| won''t sign it - what about Alondra? | want Alondra ! She''s my friend !" Suddenly, Mrs. Ritters thought of Alondra who was
known for being a famous surgeon — this kind of high-difficulty operation should be done by her instead!
"Ms. Wolfe went abroad for visits; we don''t know whether or not she''ll return today..." That awkward-looking physician exined,
“Our chief physician can also perform this operation..."
"| don''t care, | have to make sure Alondra does this surgery." Mrs. Ritter pulled out her phone and called Alondra. After a few
rings, the call was answered.
"Ms. Wolfe, have you returned to the country? Donovan had a stroke, can youe back and take a look?" Mrs. Ritter said
urgently.
Alondra had just gotten off the ne and turned on her phone when she received Mrs. Ritter''s call.
She didn''t have much of a good
impression of Mrs. Ritter; when she
was younger, Presley aipd,shé haul

all grew up eventually and started
their own families; although they kept
in touch, it wasn''t exactly friendly.

Now hearing that Mrs. Ritter needed her for surgery brought some satisfaction to Alondra''s heart. "I just got off the ne; it might
take me an hour or so to get there."
She pretended to console Mrs. Ritter. "| heard about what happened at your house too - ah... it''s really unpredictable how things
can turn out sometimes! Don''t be too upset though - Mr. Ritter must''ve been angered by something?"
Mrs. Ritter listened carefully but
noticed Alondra''s tone was strange;

After hanging up, the anger inside of Ms. Ritter still lingered, but facing the doctor in front of her, she suppressed it. "Ms. Wolfe
will be here soon. So... we''ll wait until Ms. Wolfe arrives."
"Okay." The doctor saw that she insisted on waiting for Alondra before making any decisions, and didn''t say anything more.
As soon as Alondra got into the car, Presley who came to pick her up asked, "What happened?"
"Donovan had a stroke. He needs
surgery." Alondra smiled

"Did she ask for your help already? Howe when she used to act so high-and-mighty, she never acted like this?" Presley
rolled her eyes."The Te incident has caused quite an uproar."
"Yeah! This time, | think the Ritters are afraid..." Alonrda nced outside at scenery before yawning, "I''m tired. Call me when we
get there."
The car drove smoothly forward without taking any highways but instead taking longer routes back towards hospital. They
intentionally took longer routes, to dy some time.
After about half an hour, Alondra’s phone rang and Mrs. Ritter''s anxious voice came through, "Ms. Wolfe, where are you?"
Alondrazily took a sip of water that Presley handed her and replied, "Oh, there was some traffic on the way. It might take
another half hour."
After hanging up the phone, she closed her eyes and dozed off.
Time flew by quickly and before she knew it, another half hour had passed.
Mrs. Ritter was getting impatient waiting at the hospital as she paced back and forth in the hallway.
