Translator: 549690339

Whoa!

Upon hearing this news, Elijah Bailey couldn’t help but shudder, immediately grabbing the cell phone from the other party.

[Elite Power Struggle! Sherry Jones’ Dark Path to Power!]

[Sayon’s Shame! Ruthless Businesswoman Sherry Jones, Poisonous Cosmetics Claims Lives!]

[Shock! New female CEO of Jones Group’s step-brother! A Convict who served Five Years for Commercial Crime!]

The eye-catching headlines clearly indicated a long-planned conspiracy.

Otherwise, how could this incident make the trending news almost immediately?

Moreover, a large number of trolls are fueling the situation, insulting Jones Group and Sherry Jones. Clearly, someone had hired them.

However, what Sherry Jones had not expected was that this incident had dragged White Mitchell into it as well.

For a moment, she felt a pang of guilt well up within her.

At this moment, a furious Elijah Bailey, after reading the messages, almost smashed his phone, saying angrily, “Shameless! This group led by Mori Jones is damn shameless! Fabricating evidence out of nothing, a clear frame-up!”

At this moment, he finally understood why the journalists who just arrived were only interested in taking photos and showed no concern about the real story.

Obviously, they were hired by Will Jones to capture what they wanted, then publish it online, constructing a false image of the so-called ‘truth.’

All of this was for tarnishing the reputation of the Jones Group.

And Sherry Jones was labeled as a corrupt and unscrupulous businesswoman!

Given the current situation, Sherry Jones and Jones group would definitely be at the top trending topics within two or three hours.

With this development, the image of Jones Group would be utterly ruined, who would dare to purchase cosmetics from the Jones Group in the future?

Thinking of this, a sense of panic overcame Elijah Bailey’s expression.

Despite having witnessed many ups and downs while partnering with Logan Jones, he had never seen a crisis of this magnitude!

However, he was aware that White Mitchell had asked him to return to help Sherry, not to add to her troubles.

So, after a moment of silence, he tried to keep calm and reassured Sherry, “Don’t worry, Miss. I’ll immediately connect with some old contacts and see if we can suppress the situation.”

Upon hearing his words, Sherry took a deep breath, trying hard to keep her emotions in control.

She knew she couldn’t panic at this crucial moment; otherwise, both Jones Group and White Mitchell would be smeared unceasingly.

The most critical task right now was to restore the reputation of Jones Group, only then White Mitchell wouldn’t get implicated.

With this thought in mind, Sherry pulled herself together and told everyone, “Everyone, put down your current tasks. Let’s focus our energy and manage this PR crisis first!

Now, all of us need to contact newspapers, media, and TV stations. No matter how much it costs or how many favors we have to ask, we must make them come.

Tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, we will hold a press conference at Wenx Hotel next to our company. Whether our company can survive this crisis depends on this press conference.

I, Sherry Jones, am personally begging all of you to help me and help Jones Group.”

At this point, Sherry bowed deeply to all the employees.

At that moment, all employees were deeply moved by Sherry’s sincerity.

“Miss Jones! We’ll definitely do our best! It won’t be that easy for Will Jones to undermine Jones Group!”

Elijah Bailey called out, and the next moment, they all unanimously responded to Sherry’s words: “Miss Jones, rest assured, we will definitely do our best!”

Seeing everyone’s response, Sherry’s eyes filled with tears, and a sense of gratitude welled up in her heart.

After arranging the tasks for her staff, Sherry returned to her office with Elijah Bailey.

Apparently, even her office was affected. It was just as chaotic inside as it was outside.

Sherry smiled wryly, then turned her head slowly to speak to Elijah, “Elijah, there are some things I can’t share with the staff, but I need you to handle them personally.

You should go to the factory now, take some products from all our lines, send them to an authoritative institution for testing, where you spare no expense but must ensure to get the test report before ten o’clock tomorrow morning.”

Upon hearing these words, Elijah nodded solemnly, “Rest assured, Miss Sherry, I will handle the situation.”

Sherry nodded, then added in a worried tone, “Elijah, please be careful on the way, I’m afraid my uncle might go to extreme lengths.”

Sherry’s concerns were not unfounded. At present, Mori Jones seemed to be determined to bring down Jones Group.

First, they set up a trap to stir up trouble, and now they were smearing the reputation of Jones Group through the media.

Sherry was genuinely worried about what other extreme measures they would resort to next, such as hiring a hitman!

Upon hearing this, Elijah’s expression tensed up, but he reassured Sherry with a determined face, “Don’t worry, Miss Sherry, I will be careful!”

After giving her instructions, Sherry took a deep breath, but she couldn’t shake off the cloud of worry hanging overhead.

Meanwhile…

After leaving Jones Group, Mori Jones and his entourage returned directly to their new company, which was located right across from Jones Group.

By this time, Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas had already opened a bottle of red wine inside, waiting for them to celebrate their victory.

As soon as they saw Mori returning, Antonio Woods said with a smile, “Mr. Jones, how do you feel? Has your mood improved?”

“Isn’t it obvious from the look on my face? Hahaha…” Mori Jones was in high spirits, his face exuding satisfaction, looking several years younger.

Upon hearing his words, everyone laughed heartily, filling the entire office with joy.

Thereafter, they toasted each other in Mori’s office.

Three rounds of toasts later, Mori, adopting a big brother’s demeanor, looked at Antonio Woods and Blake Thomas and said, “Gentlemen, as much as we’re enjoying the wine, let’s not forget the task at hand.

The task I gave you two, I wonder… ”

Before Mori could finish, Antonio Woods confidently assured him, “Don’t worry. Given Sherry’s capabilities, she can only host a press conference in response.

But you can rest assured, I’ve arranged everything. I guarantee that not a single reporter will show up for Sherry!”

At this point, Blake Thomas also added, “Mr. Woods is thorough, and so am I. I’ve already made arrangements at the inspection agency. As soon as Jones Group’s samples arrive, they can start the testing!

Then, I guarantee that Jones Group will only receive the inspection report we provide them!”

“Great! Just Great!”

Mori Jones laughed and clapped upon hearing this. He then raised his glass and toasted the duo, “Let’s toast to the imminent bankruptcy of Jones Group!”
