Sweet Divorce

A few days later, a subsidiary of the Brown Group got trapped in a scandal.

There was a storm of boycott against Splendidflowers Brown on the Internet.

Splendidflowers Brown, short as SF, was a luxurious female clothing brand that the Brown Group had developed in recent years. The design of Nathan Murphy, the chief designer of SF, was so audacious and chic that it magnetized celebrities.

SF’s sales had been increasing while the Brown Group’s had been spiraling downwards.

At the beginning, all the staff in SF assumed that the protest would cease soon, but it only intensified. The demonstration blocked their stores, and their sales plunged down consequently.

And the Brown Group’s reputation was tainted.

The boycott set the whole Brown Group in a pandemonium.

Noah rushed to the company for a board meeting even though he’s not fully mended. “Rita, Zoe, I can’t have dinner with you, I gotta go to the company.”

“What happened? You aren’t recovered yet, why do they summon you?” Zoe sat in the sofa, her eyes thick with concern.

“It’s SF, a subsidiary. Just some problem that needs me to handle. Don’t worry, it’s no big deal.” He left hurriedly then.

Rita’s eyes glimmered when she heard her father mention Sf.

She had changed the fate of Hers and Charlotte’s. But still, this scandal of SF still happened in her present life.

She’s been trying to find a way to enter the board in Brown Group, now the opportunity presented itself.

She could demonstrate her ability to the cranky old men in the board by handling the scandal, and then she may be granted a seat in the board.

“Mom, I have an appointment with a friend. I’m not having dinner at home tonight.” She got to her feet. Grabbing a coat just anyhow and left the house.

“All gone?” Zoe glanced down at the dough she’s kneading. “Whatever, guess I’ll have the dumplings with mom.”

Rita went to the nearest SF store after she left home.

She found the store immediately when she got in its vicinity thanks to the protesters at its doorway.

She found some reporters with cameras among the congregation.
