Chapter 719
The Steward Group made a public announcement at ten o''clock in the morning. The rumors about the
Steward Group mortgaging their assets were false and the Steward Group would not be bankrupt.
The reason why it had contacted every major bank was that Complex was preparing to invest in the
Steward Group. Secondly, it was also preparing for its cooperation with Southwest.
After the announcement, the anxieties about the Steward Group started to calm down.
As for Southwest, they did not respond to the rumors on the inte. However, not only did the public
opinions not cease, but they intensified. The discussions about the Conrad group became the hottest
topic, surpassing even the Steward Group.
There were numerous discussions thatpared Justin with rence.
Some said that rence had left the Conrad Group long ago. Even without him, the Conrad Group was
still at a pinnacle. A person like Justin with good reputation was more worthy of being the CEO of the
Conrad Group.
Some others said that if it was not for rence, the Conrad Group would not be where it was now. The
fact that the Conrad Group was still flourishing should thanks to rence''s abilities. Now the Conrad
Group was still executing the ns asid out by rence.
It would take a few years before the future of the Conrad Group was clear.
Just as the discussions on the inte were at a fever pitch, someone posted a video clip that was only
a few seconds long.
Chassell Barret''s face could be clearly seen in the video. Although only the side and back of the
woman could be seen, it was obvious that the woman was Winnie Truman. Chassell held onto Winnie''s
hand as they walked towards a car.
"Winnie and Chassell, rekindled me" this topic immediately went viral.
Winnie was well known and popr within the country. Once this video was released, a lot of people
came online to join the discussion.
Many people knew that Winnie kept a low profile due to her involvement with Chassell''s family several
years ago. The scandal was riled up for a moment until Chassell and his ex-wife announced that it was
Winnie who was fooled by Chassell. She was not the one who came in between Chassell and his ex-
wife.
Just as everyone thought that this matter was resolved, now it was exposed that Winnie had reconciled
with Chassell?
After the news came out, many KOLs and the inte water army tried to manipte the public
opinion.
"I find it hard to believe. I used to love Winnie and spoke up for her against that scoundrel. Now she
made me eat my words!"
"When Chassell apologized, everyone joined in to criticize him. Now it should be the fans who were
disappointed that Winnie has gotten back with him!"
"Damn it. If I were her fan, I''d be devastated. The fans should save their money for better things than
supporting these celebrities."
"Even the regr folks were shocked by this news. There are so many hunks in the entertainment
industry. Why must she choose him?"
Her fans were stunned to see thesements. Many of her fans decided not to support her anymore
while others were her diehard fans and waited for her rification.
It was after five o''clock in the afternoon when Winniepleted her shoot. She exited the studio and
saw the staff discussing something. They shut up and scattered as soon as they saw her.
She looked around and found her assistant who served her a ss of water. She drank and asked,
"What happened?"
Her assistant Fiona was evasive and did not answer immediately.
Winnie noticed that something was amiss and asked after a couple of seconds, "Hand me my
cellphone."
Fiona reached out her hand slowly before she handed Winnie her phone. She said, "Winnie, the
company called…"
Winnie opened Twitter and saw the news about Chassell and her.
She frowned as she watched the video and recognized that it was taken at the entrance of her
apartmentplex.
It must be the time when Chassell waited there and tried to forcefully take her away.
But because the video was just a few seconds long and focused on Chassell, it did not capture her
struggling and resistance. It appeared as if she was going with Chassell willingly.
Winnie watched for a moment and then snorted. How could someone be so despicable?
Without hesitation, Winnie clicked the Tweet button and was about to write a rification. However,
Twitter asked her to re-login and after she entered the password, it said that the password was
incorrect.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
Fiona said from beside Winnie, "Thepany called this afternoon and said it would take back the
control of your official Twitter ount. Thepany will manage your publicity from now on."
Winnie was dumbfounded and asked, "What?"
Fiona said softly, "I''ve made inquiries and they replied that it was the decision of higher management.
All the stars under the Conrad Group were treated the same. No exceptions."
"Higher management? Who?" Winnie demanded.
Fiona pointed upwards, "They said that it was the order from the executive assistant office."
That meant that it had the CEO''s approval.
Winnie gripped her cellphone tightly, frowned, and asked Fiona, "Did the PR department say how they
would handle this?"
Fiona replied, "They did not contact me. Perhaps they wanted the situation to cool down first."
Winnie did not even change her clothes. She covered herself with a jacket and walked outside as she
said, "I want to go to the Conrad Group now."
"Winnie… Winnie…" Fiona quickly grabbed their things and ran after Winnie.
Inside the car, Fiona looked at Winnie''s expression and hesitated before saying, "Winnie, I think the
company would not be bothered about this…"
Winnie frowned but remained silent.
Fiona continued, "I saw a discussion. Some fans deduced that it could be the Conrad Group that
intentionally released the video about you and Chassell so that they could divert some attention from
their issue."
Winnie was too busy these few days to keep abreast of recent developments. She asked, "What
issue?"
Fiona was not sure. She could simply answered, "Perhaps it''s because of Mr. Conrad, well, rence
Conrad. Mr. Conrad and the current CEO of the Conrad Group had some disputes. I''m not sure of the
details."
Winnie heaved a long sigh after she heard this andposed herself.
rence had asionally used her and the artists under thepany to create some headlines.
However, those were usually mutually beneficial. He had never done something like this where a video
of several seconds was released to intentionally spread rumors. Additionally, her Twitter ount had
also been confiscated to prevent her from rifying the situation.
Winnie had met Justin several times and also felt that he was not the type that would do this.
Winnie closed her eyes and leaned back as she said, "We''ll see what on earth is going on when we
arrive at the Conrad Group."
Fiona acknowledged and remained quiet. She then took out her phone to monitor the discussions on
the inte.
