“We didn't see anything!” Madilyn smiled mischievously as she feigned ignorance.
The children nodded along. “We didn't either!”
Then, Madilyn attempted to sneak away with the kids as though nothing had happened.
Just as she turned around, Roxanne said, “Come over here. Let's talk.”
Thus, Madilyn twirled around again and saw a resigned expression on her best friend's face.
Roxanne and Lucian, who was slightly displeased, proceeded to sit next to each other on the couch.
Upon hearing their mother's summon, the children rushed over to sit around her.
Only Madilyn was left standing at the entrance of the room.
Glancing at the family of five, she cleared her throat, stepped toward the single-seat couch, and plopped down.
Frowning, Roxanne questioned, “You said you've devised a way to handle the fallout. What do you suggest we do?”
In response, Lucian shifted his line of sight to Madilyn, too.
Madilyn could still sense the cold look in his eyes, so she did her best to ignore him and focus on Roxanne. “It's not that difficult. It just depends if you all are willing to spend some money.”
A perplexed expression was set on Roxanne's countenance.
“We didn't see anything!” Madilyn smiled mischievously as she feigned ignorance.
Meanwhile, Lucian asked, “How much?”
Meanwhile, Lucian asked, “How much?”
After a brief silence, Madilyn said, “Nowadays, news on the internet updates fast. While Farwell Group is an influential entity in Horington, the public still cares more about celebrities.”
She paused and stared at the people before her.
The smart couple understood her intentions immediately.
“So you're saying we should buy and spread celebrity scandals on the internet to shift the public's attention?” asked Roxanne.
Smiling, Madilyn nodded. “That's right. Though the amount of money required to pull this off isn't little, I don't think it's considered plenty for Farwell Group.” Since Lucian's the one who caused the trouble, it's only fitting for him to bring an end to this matter. I doubt he'll refuse.
Upon understanding her plan, Lucian contacted Cayden to do as she suggested.
The internet was set on fire again that afternoon.
Scandals about various celebrities were exposed to the public. Almost every trending title started with the phrase “explosive news.”
The public swiftly shifted their attention from Farwell Group to the celebrities.
Many reporters did the same as they promptly surrounded the celebrities with their cameras.
In just a short time, all reporters who previously encircled the research institute and Roxanne's house were gone.
Roxanne was stunned when she saw the drastic shift on the internet.
Glancing at Lucian, she remarked, “This... You must've spent a lot of money.” Earlier, I saw plenty of scandals on the internet and even an official announcement of a high-profile celebrity's romantic relationship! No wonder the focus of the public changed so fast.
Lucian acted as though it was nothing noteworthy. “Money is never a concern for Farwell Group. Besides, not all matters can be solved with money.”
Deals with celebrities more often involved resource exchange than money.
What they needed were fame, resources, and many more.
Thankfully, Farwell Group's contract with a product spokesperson had just expired. Therefore, when the high-profile celebrity proposed a collaboration, Lucian agreed.
“You don't need to worry about that for Mr. Farwell, Roxanne. Farwell Group is so rich that they won't even bat an eye at how much he spent! Moreover, minor celebrities would die for a chance to help Farwell Group!” Madilyn comforted.
