Felix’s expression became gloomy. “What happened?”
Lindo’s voice was filled with panic and anxiety. “Several media outlets suddenly broke the news that our company’s products had serious quality problems as if it was a coordinated effort.
“They even said our products have a risk of causing cancer. The relevant departments have come to our company and taken some of our products away for testing.
“Public opinion is now very unfavorable to us. Many
shareholders have already started selling their shares for fear of being implicated.
“The heat of this news is still rising. I just received a message from the Finance Department saying that the bank has blocked the funds for the new project that was originally approved.”
The bank blocked the project funds, and Felix’s company’s capital chain was broken, which directly affected his company’s normal operations.
Felix’s company was almost in chaos after just one hour of public opinion breaking out.
Besides, for some unknown reason, the relevant departments reacted extremely quickly this time, without giving Felix any time to respond, and directly went to his company to seize the

The action was so quick as if someone had arranged it in advance.

“Mr. Felix Fitzgerald, what should we do now?” asked Lindo.
Felix pinched his brows and said in a cold voice, “Why are you panicking? Let the PR department come up with a few clarification documents first, and then send someone to contact those media outlets to find out who is behind this. I’ll be back soon.”
After hanging up the phone, Felix pondered for a moment. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that someone was deliberately making trouble for him.
He thought, “Who could it be? I haven’t offended anyone recently.”
Suddenly, Marcus‘ words, “I’m afraid the Fitzgerald family won’t be able to protect you“, came to Felix’s mind.
Felix thought, “Could it be that he was the one who made it? No. No way.”
He then rejected this incredible speculation.
Felix thought it was impossible for a man who could enter such occasions only with the help of Abigail to have the ability to
get his company involved in such an enormous public opinion
storm.

Envision Group’s anniversary celebration was about to begin.
But everyone at the banquet had not seen the legendary distinguished guest, Marcus, and couldn’t help but talk about it.
A man asked, “Why hasn’t Mr. Fitzgerald come yet? The banquet is about to start. Is he not coming?”
A woman said, “Probably not. He has a good relationship with the eldest son of the Harrison family. Since the Harrison family said he would come, he would definitely come. However, such a big shot is usually busy, so it is normal for him to come at the last minute.
“I have never been to Claudia, but I have heard a lot of rumors about Mr. Fitzgerald. The man is said to have excelled in all aspects since childhood and has always been a presence that his peers could not keep up with. Who is worthy of such a fine man?”
Another man said, “Why did I hear that he seemed to have a child?”
The woman who had just spoken exclaimed, “What? No way. It must be a rumor. He can’t possibly have a child out of wedlock.”
Another woman said, “What’s wrong with having a child out of wedlock? Even if it’s true, it doesn’t affect his charm. It even makes him more approachable. Otherwise, I always feel that

such a perfect person is untouchable by mortals, and even daydreaming about him is a kind of blasphemy.”

Listening to everyone praising Marcus, Natalia had some plans in mind.
She took Caroline’s hand, avoided the crowd, and whispered, “Caroline, you better be smart and seize the opportunity later.”
“What opportunity?” Caroline was confused.
Her mind was a mess, and she hadn’t listened to what the people around her said at all. She just looked in the direction of the bathroom.
Caroline thought, “Why hasn’t Felix come back yet?
Abigail has not returned yet. Could it be that these two are secretly meeting behind my back?”
