Chapter 294
Joseph took a deep breath and calmed everyone down, saying that the photos were likely falsified by someone else to target the Harvey Group.
Sara and the others, unaware of the truth, naturally believed Ashley after being reassured by Joseph and the others. They cursed the culprit behind the false accusations against her. for a one-on-one
Afterward, Joseph privately asked Benjamin to stay behind for a one-on-one conversation,
"Mr. Louis, Jack and Mike are your men. I hope you can give me an explanation about this matter. Are you really unaware of what's going on?" Joseph asked bluntly. Joseph, do you think this matter is related to me?" Benjamin asked.
"To be honest, I'm suspicious of anyone who's even slightly questionable right now. I'm sorry, Mr. Wallace, but for the sake of my family's glory, I must take this approach. I hope you understand." Joseph maintained a composed stance against Benjamin's displeased gaze.
"What you said was baseless. You're just saying it based on your feelings. Aren't you afraid I cancel your role as a supporting actor! It's needless to say how important this role is to your career. Not only will it enhance your reputation in Clusia, but it will also help you shine internationally"
"Mr. Wallace, you misunderstand. Acting is indeed my career, and I've always worked hard to climb higher and achieve success. But everything I have comes from my family. I will not forgive anyone who tarnishes my family's reputation, including you! Moreover, I believe the likelihood of you being involved is very small. If you have a clear conscience, this is just a casual conversation. If you hold a grudge against me for this and cancel the role, I have nothing to say," Joseph said calmly,
Benjamin's expression softened slightly and said, "Since you say so, forget it. I'm not that petty. I know about Ashley's interactions with Mike and Jack, but I didn't expect such photos to be taken. Today, I had breakfast with Ashley because Mike and Jack highly recommended her to me. I thought of her outstanding acting skills and considered whether we could collaborate more."
"As expected," Joseph said, clenching his fists. Ashley sought favor from Mike and Jack to gain more resources from Benjamin, a major sponsor. As a mere extra, she wasn't satisfied, so she took a risk.
If she simply didn't listen to Joseph, he wouldn't have cared. But now, Ashley had caused such a big scene, affecting the Harvey family. It wasn't just about her not listening to him anymore.
Moreover, Ashley had framed Selina, secretly betraying the Harvey family and feigning innocence countless times. Thinking of all that, even though Ashley was his most beloved younger sister, Joseph couldn't help but feel deep hatred for her. Perhaps because he had invested so much and trusted her so deeply, the betrayal hurt all the more, leading to intense hatred.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"If you need my cooperation, please let me know. Mr. Harvey, Now that this has happened, we must figure out how to resolve it, Benjamin said.
Thank you,
Mr. Wallace. We may need to contact Mike and Jack to hold a press conference and have them clarify that Ashley's interactions with them were purely business-related, with no truth to these photos or the fabricated news," Joseph replied. Benjamin's eyes darkened, and he said, "I will"
After Benjamin left the hospital, he made a phone call to Selina. The call was quickly answered.
"I was worried calling you at this hour might disturb you. Considering all the drama happening in the Harvey family, I was afraid I'd miss some exciting action if I slept too early. Was the second trending topic your doing?" Selina asked
But giving Trevon a valid explanation wasn't easy, so Selina had no choice but to use sweet tactics to keep him so preoccupied that he couldn't question her
Benjamin chuckled lightly, "Do you like the gift I gave you? Selina. I didn't expect you'd make it to the first trending topic, but that's even better. The Harvey family will only get more chaotic"
"The Harvey Group is about to hold a press conference. Lydia insists on watching the commotion, dragging me along to cause trouble for the Harvey family. I also want to see just how chaotic things have gotten there. Benjamin, is this game of yours just getting started?" "Of course, it hasn't been long since it began. It's far from over, Selina. Just wait and see
Quinton learned that Sara and Cora were aware of the situation and had gathered at the hospital. After struggling to handle the negative impact the Harvey Group, photos of Ashley with other men were exposed.
Quinton had to rush back to the company to deal with the situation, feeling like his head was about to explode. He was busy until noon, not even having time for a bite to eat. And, he had to hold an emergency press conference in the afternoon to clarify matters. Ötherwise, he feared the media would run wild with the story, tying the photos to Ashley's self-harm and harming the Harvey Group's interests.
One trending topic was troublesome enough, and now there was a second one. Who k stirring, preparing to take action against the Harvey Group,
knew if there might be a third. Hidden forces were already
But Quinton never expected the source of all the trouble would be his most cherished daughter, Ashley. He had thought it might be Selina's true identity being exposed.
Quinton didn't know whether to cry or laugh nor how to deal with Ashley's actions. But as he got up, he suddenly felt short of breath, and everything went black as he fainted to the ground.
"Mr. Harvey!" The secretary was terrified upon seeing Quinton collapse and quickly called the company's on-site doctor.
The entire Harvey Group was in an uproa
uproar. Everyone was whispering about Ashley's two trending topics.
"Hey, do you think Ms. Harvey really took her own life!"
"She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, adored by her whole family, beautiful, and well-educated. What reason would she have to take her own life? Just like the announcement released by the company, someone is deliberately trying to tarnish the Harvey Group's reputation."
"Not necessarily. Those rich heiresses may seem innocent but could be very messy inside. In that circle, what haven't they seen? See, photos of her flirting with two foreign men have been exposed, even kissing on the cheek with different men. Tsk, tsk. Theard that Ms. Harvey has a good relationship with Timothy from the Clark Group, and they were almost engaged. With such a big scandal, maybe the marriage is off."
Of course, unless it's proven that these photos are fake, the Clark family wouldn't want such a promiscuous daughter-in-law who pretends to be Innocent. I've heard from reliable sources that these photos are real, no Photoshop, no tricks" "Damn, this is big news. The chairman even fainted earlier. What a shame for the family, having such a trouble-making daughter. Now, the whole Harvey Group's reputation is being dragged down with her."
