Chapter 10

By midday, the employees from the Operations Department and Public Relations Department of the Yuriel Group had been working relentlessly and tirelessly, asking media outlets to take down the article.

In the CEO’s office, the manager of the Operations Department stammered as he tried to explain the situation. “Director Jace, it was Miss Sienna who had us upload the article. She provided us with the content as well. She told us not to make any edits or changes to the article, and we thought that she had your approval.”

Jace looked calm as he went through some documents, but his dark outfit and the dark-themed office room made him look especially cold and distant.

Before the manager could even finish his sentence, Jace placed down the documents in his hand and scoffed, “You thought?”

“I…” stuttered the manager as he trembled in fear. The manager looked toward Jace’s personal assistant in desperation.

Assistant Zayne said, “And I thought you had already handed in your resignation to the HR department.”

The manager was rendered speechless. He slumped to the ground and had to be dragged out of Jace’s room by security.

Standing next to Jace, Zayne Hudson proceeded with his report. “Sir, most of the sites have taken down the article. The Operations Department has posted an official explanation on the website. They informed people that the site had been hacked. The Public Relations Department has reached out to all media outlets in an attempt at damage control. However, our stocks have been plummeting since this morning, and things are not looking great at Yuriel Jewel. We’ve received a lot of negative feedback for our recently released jewelry line, ‘Forever and Always.'”

In the age of media, the ripple effect caused by a simple article was faster and more intense than one could have imagined. Jace’s expression was darker than before.

Catching a glimpse of Jace’s expression, Zayne had no other choice but to keep going, “Now that people are aware that this is your second marriage, they have begun searching for your wife— I mean, Miss Luz, via the internet. They want to know how a poor country girl was able to marry into a wealthy and influential family. At this rate, I’m afraid for Miss Luz’s safety. Do you think we should—”

Furrowing his brows tightly, Jace said, “Do what you can to find her, and be quick.”

“Yes, Sir,” responded Zayne. “Also, your grandpa wants you to drop by his place.”
