Chapter 869 Pressure From the Board of Directors

However, the situation was dire. Let alone seeing Deirdre in court, Brendan would be surrounded just by leaving the house.

Brendan was so furious about the upsurge of the online community’s opinion on executing Deirdre that he smashed his phone.

Declan suppressed his unpleasant expression. “Frankly, it is apparent that Charlene is fully prepared to make use of public opinion to exert pressure on the case.”

Nonetheless, it was the truth. It was already very difficult for Deirdre to get away now.

Sam asked, “Do we still need to release the video clip?” ‘That won’t work anymore.” Declan said, “Charlene has already acknowledged the incident publicly. If we were to claim that the woman in the video clip is not Deirdre, it would only infuriate the community even more.

“Sam, hire keyboard warriors to draw the online community’s attention to the fact that Charlene can no longer dance so that Charlene can draw in a bunch of support. Then, post a few scandals that expose some celebrities to divert the crowd’s attention. We’ll see what to do next.”

Sam hastily nodded and took on the task while Brendan removed the intravenous drip from himself.

Declan asked, “Where are you going?” ‘To the company.”

People were stirring up trouble at the entrance of the Brighthall Group’s building, just as Brendan had expected. As soon as he entered from the car park, the board of directors was present in the boardroom beyond his expectations.

Mr. Jensen was the first to speak, and his gaze was tainted with contempt. “Mr. Brighthall, you’re getting the company in the limelight over and over again. We don’t even need to promote ourselves, and we’ve already gotten on the top search page.” “Mr. Jensen?” Brendan looked at him and said coldly, “If I don’t remember wrongly, we sent you to retire abroad, didn’t we?”

Mr. Jensen’s face was pale with fear and green with rage. ’You tell me! I’m one of the founders who built the Brighthall Group to its current glory. Who do you think you are to force my children and me to migrate elsewhere!?” ‘That is because even with my multiple top search articles, I’m still no match for Mr. Jensen’s unpleasant scandal that happened once.” Brendan looked toward the assistant next to him. “Send the non-concerning personnel away from the boardroom.” ‘Yes.”

The security guard came to escort Mr. Jensen out of the room. Someone could not bear it anymore and stood up. “Mr. Brighthall, you should consider what you can do to salvage the Brighthall Group’s reputation as your current priority, right?”

Brendan cast a look at the security guard. He then took the main seat after Mr. Jensen was taken away. “Naturally, I’m here to give a proper explanation to everyone.” ‘The explanation is unnecessary.” Someone grunted and said, “You should give a proper explanation to the common people. The online community is protesting about not using the Brighthall Group’s products if Miss McKinnon is not sent to prison! It would be fine if there were only a few of them, but there are so many of them. It’s going to result in a great loss for the company!” “He’s right. Mr. Brighthall, we know how you run things, but you’ve been bringing so much trouble to the company apart from your recent lack of responsibility for the company’s affairs. We have always been straightforward with you. Shouldn’t you be disassociating yourself from the woman sooner in view of the public opinion?” “I think that the woman should be sent to prison sooner! Then, the company will make a public announcement to disassociate from that woman!”

Before his voice died away, the speaker had already received a cold glare from Brendan and a wave of oppressive feeling as sharp as a knife drowning him. He could not refrain from trembling.

The crowd of people came to understand the situation instantly.

“Mr. Brighthall…” One of them braced himself to say, “Are you really going to defend that woman?”

Brendan said coldly, “I will handle this situation myself.” “How are you going to handle it, Mr. Brighthall? Public opinion is already so heated. Is there another way other than sending the woman to prison?”
