Chapter 1032: Chapter 1012: Never Seen Anything So Thrilling!
"If it’s dating, then it’s normal!"
"What’s the big deal? We’re just in a relationship, visiting a hotel room, do I have to report the truth to you?"
"Mr. Josh joked, but we only received orders claiming there was a drug-related assault happening here. We in the media always focus on societal dark forces, striving to report the truth to the public!"
These reporters, what kind of people were they? Literary, every one of them!
Hanny Josh was momentarily speechless, unable to come up with a rebuttal: "The truth is, we are dating, just a normal relationship involving a room; is that illegal?"
Cough cough...
What the reporters wanted to say was, how did the term ’illegal cohabitation’ arise?
If you’re not married, any relationship was considered illegal. But times had progressed, and this had become common, so they held back on saying more since they had already admitted their relationship.
Then, an hour later...
The headline read, "Josh Group’s CEO Hanny Josh falls for entertainment industry playboy Adrian Watkins, boldly admits to relationship in front of media." What followed was a photo of the two wearing only bathrobes, the man’s face swollen and beaten, featured in a close-up. Once Allure International reported this news, all major media outlets crazily shared it, adding their own spin.
"Domineering female CEO sponsors entertainment industry playboy, caught by the media after a night of indulgence."
"Adrian Watkins’s dream of acting shattered as he becomes a wealthy man’s plaything, ends up physically assaulted!"
In just a few hours, the strong female icon of business, known as the domineering female CEO, became a woman of loose morals, and the charming sex symbol became a hopeless figure in the entertainment industry. All headlines were filled with their negative coverage.
"Mr. Josh, Josh Group’s shares are rapidly falling; what should we do?"
Hanny Josh had just gotten into the car and was putting on her clothes, when her assistant, holding a computer, began giving her the report.
The dip in stock prices significantly affected the company. Her two brothers, whom she had ousted from the Josh family due to their inability to accept her - blaming her rise on being the daughter of a mistress - challenged her leadership. However, her aggressive business tactics and some capability kept the shareholders under control and improved recent performances. After being driven out, her brothers hadn’t found their footing.
This incident was perfect news for the ousted brothers.
And just as she was thinking this, the phone rang.
"Hanny Josh, are you trying to destroy the Josh family? Couldn’t you find a better man than one with a scandalous private life?"
As soon as Hanny Josh picked up, her older brother’s roaring voice came through: "Indeed, like daughter, like mother; even if acknowledged, still a low breed. Now look, are you satisfied only if Josh is completely ruined?!"
The string of events and this interrogation nearly caused Hanny to break down. It was Roy Thompson who had almost completely disrupted her life: "Zach Josh, shut up. You and your brother are incompetent. You have no right to bicker in front of me. Two grown men, who couldn’t compete with a woman, if I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to even speak!"
With a slam, she hung up the phone.
Those useless men thinking they could challenge her? They really didn’t know their own weight, nor the road she had taken. They didn’t have half the tactics she had up her sleeve!
And this Roy Thompson, managing to get the staff at Rino Hotel and the reporters from Allure International to listen to him, what exactly was his background?
No matter his current position, whether a white knight, just managing that alone made her suspect. He wasn’t just a random outsider; no one capable of mobilizing the Gordon family and Jensen family at the same time had ever been born here. His actions proved he wasn’t just an ordinary worker.
But that didn’t stop Hanny Josh from seeking revenge.
"Call Roy Thompson for me, tell him to prepare tens of millions for the breach of contract. I want to see how long he can stay arrogant!"
Just last night they had signed a contract, and she was ready to terminate it on the spot, curious if this outsider could immediately produce such a hefty sum, "Tell him I want it now, or I’ll sue him!"
"Yes, Mr. Josh!"
The secretary had just picked up the phone, but before she could dial out, a call came in. She swiped to answer, a few simple words draining all color from her face. She just glanced in Hanny’s direction when the other party hung up.
"Who was that?"
By the secretary’s expression and complexion, Hanny knew it wasn’t good news. Fortunately, she had been fighting since childhood; otherwise, she definitely couldn’t have withstood such a blow.
"It was Roy Thompson’s secretary; he said..."
"What did he say?"
"That you should go back and sign for the acquisition of Josh!"
The secretary said this without daring to look up at Hanny.
"Acquire Josh?"
She had imagined all possibilities of exploitation, given Josh’s status in Andras City; many were watching like hungry wolves. But this type of robbery was a first for her, "Just because he’s Roy Thompson, he thinks he can acquire Josh? Unless he’s married into the Gordon family, he can forget about it!"
What an international joke, as if Josh was up for just anyone to acquire!
Just because he played a little trick to drop the stock price for a few dollars, he thought he could acquire Josh? Where did his confidence come from!
"But Mr. Josh, Roy Thompson said, the shares from the other shareholders are now all in his name, everything signed and sealed. You’re the only one left with 51% of the shares. He also said that whether you agree or not, the acquisition must go through."
With a bang, the tightly held string in Hanny Josh’s mind snapped completely. Her head felt as if it had been struck hard by a rod, buzzing slightly.
Was this a push towards a dead end?
Three seconds later, Hanny Josh snapped back from her disbelief. It might be the truth, despite how unbelievable it was that Roy Thompson, a foreigner, could accomplish this so quickly. But this had already become reality.
"Check right now, who exactly is this Roy Thompson? Oh wait, no. Check who his wife really is?"
Someone had already mentioned that Mrs. Thompson was from Andras City, which meant her social standing was high, giving him the audacity to act so boldly, especially since his wife was also affected this time.
"Uh, Mr. Josh, no need to investigate!"
The secretary spoke in a quivering voice, nervously keeping her head down, "If I’m not mistaken, Roy Thompson’s wife is Miss Gordon!"
You’ve seen exciting, but this is a whole new level of thrill!
