Tried 375

    <b>Chapter </b><b>375 </b>


    GrabCheap <b>was </b>being targeted. Someone clearly wanted to take her down.


    (415)


    When that narrative took hold, the tform could step in, present hard evidence, and shift public opinion<i>. </i>Only then would people understand the tform <b>wasn’t </b>at fault. Someone else was ying dirty out of envy.


    Dmytro thought about it and agreed this could work. <b>“</b>But we still need to gather solid evidence during this time. If it really <b>esctes </b>and <b>we </b>can’t control it, you’ll be the one who gets hurt.”


    Aubree nodded. She wouldn’t <b>have </b>taken such a risky route if she weren’t confident.


    Ever since she <b>suspected </b>the Wilson and Yurchenko families might join forces<b>, </b>she’d been watching both sides. She had some evidence in hand.


    For example, the Yurchenko family’s transfer records for those terminally ill individuals.


    Of course<b>, </b>if those were revealed now, Quantavius could <b>easily </b>spin it. He <b>could </b>say he only <b>gave </b>them money out of sympathy, trying to help those poor souls <b>after </b>seeing <b>GrabCheap’s </b>“immoral business <b>practices</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    After seeing Dmytro off, Aubree <b>gave </b>Birgitte a <b>heads</b>–up<b>, </b>telling her not to panic. She should still do some interviews, give vague but eptable responses<b>. </b><b>It </b>wouldn’t look good to <b>go </bpletely silent.


    Since the GrabCheap incident broke out, Ronald and Quantavius had assumed Aubree would act quickly to minimize the damage. After all, this <b>was </b>the critical <b>stage </b>of GrabCheap’s expansion. Every <b>day </b>of dy meant huge <b>losses</b>.


    But oddly, the issue only kept growing, and Aubree hadn’t made a single move.


    Even Birgitte was just spouting harmless, empty statements in interviews.


    “Aubree wouldn’t be hiding some big counterattack<b>, </b>would she?” Quantavius <b>was </b><b>a </b>bit <b>uneasy</b>.


    He hadn’t dealt with Aubree much, but she <b>was </b>a young girl who had oncepletely flipped his ns upside down. As annoyed as he was, he remained highly cautious.


    He didn’t want to fall into her trap again. Once might be an ident, but twice<b>? </b>That would make both him and the Yurchenko family aughingstock in the Südlichen Strand business world.


    Compared to his careful wariness, Ronald <b>was </b><b>far </b>more rxed. “She’s <b>just </b>a kid. She barely learned any real business skills. She had some smarts and got lucky getting noticed by Bowen. That’s the only <b>reason </b><b>she’s </b>where she <b>is </b>now. When things go south, she’ll probably go crying to Bowen for help.”


    Ronald knew exactly how capable his daughter <b>was</b>.


    Aubree was smart, arguably the smartest in the Wilson family. But shecked experience<b>. </b>Given time, she might be truly formidable.


    If she hade back home, he would <b>have </b>been happy to <b>pave </b>the road for her. Whether she started her ownpany or helped her brother manage the family business<b>, </b>it would’ve been <b>great</b>.


    Unfortunately, the kid <b>was </b>rebellious. She <b>had </b>to suffer some <b>setbacks </b>before <b>she’d </be <b>back </b>willingly.


    Ronald said, “It’s been many <b>days</b>. Bree Technology <b>hasn’t </b>said <b>a </b>word. Bowen <b>hasn’t </b>stepped in either. That confirms what we suspected. He’s probably enjoying watching Bree Technology fall apart so he can swoop in and buy it all.”


    Ronald had been monitoring <b>GrabCheap’s </b>situation. <b>He </b><b>was </b><b>very </b><b>satisfied</b>. The longer <b>the </b>scandal dragged on, the better. He’d even heard that Manchotech Group <b>had </b><b>paused </b>their additional investment, waiting <b>to </b><b>see </b>how the situation yed out.


    He smiled. “This is working out <b>great</b><b>. </b>Let them <b>keep </b>stirring the pot.”


    Quantavius swallowed what he was about to <b>say</b><b>. </b>Something felt off. Things were getting out of control, and the buzz was far more intense than he’d expected.


    And Aubree’sck of response…


    Quantavius hesitated, then said, “Ronald…”


    4:49 <b>PM </b>


    “Enough.” Ronald interrupted impatiently. “<b>Just </b>stick to the n. <b>I’ve </b>got other things to deal with.” In his eyes, GrabCheap was already <b>a </b>dying beast.


    Aubree’s attempt to use the project to gain a foothold in the Südlichen Strand market had failed. She’d have to crawl back to Rithol City in disgrace.


    And after that, she’d have <b>to </b><be </b>crawling back to him, begging for forgiveness.
