A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Harlan had no clue what Darren was planning in his head. He couldn't even understand why his boss had sent a reporter to Jacob's press conference. However, when he saw the mischievous smile on Darren's face, he knew that everything was under Darren's control.

Meanwhile, in the HT Group, the conference was finally over.

"Mr. Gu, all the reporters and crew already left. Our public relations team is on standby to take care of what just happened," said Sam.

Jacob turned his gaze from the document in front of him and replied, "We don't need to do that. I answered that reporter's question being fully aware of the consequences. I'm not really concerned with what she does with that story. My relationship with Darren will be known to the public sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

"Yes, sir. I understand.

On another note, that reporter... Would you like me to conduct an investigation on her?"

"No need. It's unnecessary,"

Jacob replied, tapping his pen on the table.

His decision seemed quite reasonable at that moment. After all, that reporter was just Darren's pawn. The real battlefield belonged to him and Darren. There was no reason to involve her in their mess.

These days, one had to admit how amazingly fast news was published. In less than an hour, Jacob's statement at the press conference had already spread throughout the entire city. Some people were amazed that Jacob had dared to tell the truth. In their eyes, it took a lot of guts to come out and say that. With that being said, it was clear to everyone that his statement would definitely affect the development of the HT Group in the future.

Even if the business world was always depicted like a grueling battlefield, most businessmen pretended to get along just fine with each other. Every businessman usually had two sides to him, a good one and a bad one. That being said, even if a gun was pointed at their heads, they still chose to show their good side until the bitter end.
