Clint knew that if he revealed the video, it might seem like he was sacrificing the company just to oust Lilah from her position. He had to tread carefully.
“Well, if you don't have a better suggestion, then please remain quiet. Right now, we need to focus on resolving this crisis," Lilah asserted firmly, bringing the meeting to an end.
Clint, though irked, held back his anger. He reminded himself that in just a few days, the time for the bet would be up.
He decided to wait it out, hoping the company could survive until then.
Meanwhile, the Dillon Group made a decisive move.
That afternoon, they publicly expressed their condolences for the deceased. In a significant move, Lance personally visited Celia, offering her compensation and apologizing on behalf of Lilah.
Celia was taken aback by the gesture.
She had been content with the few hundred thousand she earned from live streaming, but now she was being handed five million dollars, along with a heartfelt apology.
She quickly responded, "My husband's death has nothing to do with you.
It's Lilah who should be apologizing, but I haven't heard anything from her."
Lance sighed, portraying a sympathetic figure. “My cousin is too stubborn, which led to this situation. If you need any assistance in the future, don't hesitate to ask us.”
"Thank you," Celia said gratefully.
Before long, the video of this conversation appeared online.
The warm-hearted action of the Dillon Group was in sharp contrast to the heartless Phillips Group.
“The Dillon Group is really humane. They're making donations all the time. How nice of them!"
“Lilah Phillips' actions are so ridiculous. After becoming CEO of the Phillips Group, she has been attacking the Dillon Group nonstop. But after the accident that happened at her company, her cousin was still kind enough to clean up her mess."
"That's the Dillon Group's generosity for you. It's clear that the Dillon Group and the Phillips Group are not on the same level."
"I feel guilty for patronizing Phillips Mall all along. From now on, I'll never go to purchase anything at Phillips Mall ever again.”
“Lilah Phillips, come out! Stop hiding. Take responsibility. Look how your cousin has helped you so much even though you don't deserve it.”
In only a matter of hours, the Dillon Group had gained tens of thousands of new followers. On the contrary, the Phillips Group and Lilah were being criticized heavily.
When Lilah saw the video clip, she only sneered mockingly.
Finally, Lance had made his move in a bid to ruin her image.
Now, it was game on.
Using an anonymous ID, Lilah sent an email to Lance.
