Chapter 315: 0315 exposure_1

Receiving her husband’s message, Olivia Johnson was stunned.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford the money, the key issue was the unknown costs that would follow in settling everything for Edward Wood. The rich kid’s family involved at the start had already spent tens of millions dealing with the incident.

In order to challenge the other party and clear Edward’s name, it was clear that it would cost even more money.

Especially since the bail had been posted and she had sent the person back to jail herself.

Olivia Johnson completely collapsed.

At this moment, someone came knocking, claiming they could solve Edward’s problem, they could find the decisive evidence hidden by the other party, but Olivia Johnson had to pay money, otherwise, they wouldn’t just do it for nothing.

Edward and the old man, combined, how on earth were these two matters to be handled?

Olivia Johnson and Daniel Wood were dumbfounded.

And with the news from within the country, it was revealed that the Wood Family patriarch had fallen into a coma. Though Ellen Young had disclosed a shocking identity, considering how ugly the initial fallout was, it was clear she wouldn’t return; and some who had always wanted to take down the Wood Family showed no mercy, with the rich kid’s family from the start doing everything they could to suppress the matter.

If they didn’t find a solution soon, by the time of the trial, if Edward’s crime were confirmed, it would be too late.

Olivia Johnson did nothing but cry all day, and when Daniel Wood faced a decision, he also had to deal with the pressure from the Board of Directors; because of a series of events, the Wood Family had a bad public reputation, and what was more infuriating were the countless netizens checking in under the official blog of the Wood Company, questioning every day.

"Regretting it yet?"

"Brilliant, you kicked out two daughters, and managed to kick out the most capable one."

"All the family IQ went to Ellen Young, no wonder you guys are such idiots."

"Heard your son killed someone abroad while driving under the influence. Waste of space, don’t even think about getting Ellen Young to handle this!"

"My, my, how did things turn out like this, it’s just so disheartening!"

...

Wood Company’s share prices fell continuously as a result of the impact, and the Board of Directors had serious complaints; without David Wood, Daniel could not control the situation.

Moreover, the Wood Family spent a lot to keep the matter under wraps, but regretfully, no secret can remain hidden forever, and a few days after the incident, it was eventually leaked.

There was a clever aspect to the leak, as it involved Ellen Young.

According to standard practice, if Ellen Young didn’t take charge of the Wood Family’s mess, it wouldn’t look good, but the problem was that Edward was accused of hitting and killing someone while driving under the influence.

Instantly, the public was riled up, and people started to set the tone online, emphasizing that the Wood Family was Ellen’s biological family, and with her brother accused of such a serious crime and her being such a distinguished academic, she couldn’t possibly condone it, could she?

Netizens could tolerate many things, but they were particularly passionate about topics involving capital or power, and they blew the incident way out of proportion, saying that even if Ellen were an academician, she shouldn’t deal with this case, otherwise, wouldn’t it tarnish her reputation?

She had just gained a bit of fame, and her foundations were not yet stable. Although the netizens were shocked, they really couldn’t empathize much, because she seemed too much like an ’immortal’, too detached, and sufficiently young.

Some criminals who envied her fanned the flames even more.

In fact, what no one expected was that it played right into Clinton White’s hands.

Because he had already seen many people feeling indignant on behalf of the BOSS. This incident was not directed at the netizens, but aimed at challenging a certain group’s old-fashioned thinking.

Previously, due to their consideration, he hadn’t been too extreme, but now, with Edward delivering himself to their doorstep, it would be too rude not to take advantage.

The family’s reputation was so sullied, still recognizing them? Recognize this banana peel!
