A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 138

“What is it?

Meghan says, "The journalists gather outside the Group not because of the worker's death, but because of the corruption of Jeffrey, the general manager of the Smith Group's international department."

Lily frowns, "He embezzles the money of the Smith Group. What does it matter to the journalists?"

"That's the problem." Meghan stops and says, "He stole money from the Smith Group to run a casino and a clubhouse, and used his position to rape more than 100 underage children."

"Also, the girls in Jeffrey's clubhouse are all abducted by his own people and tortured to death by them, or by their guests. There are 50 or so girls counted. The news went viral on major websites at five in the morning, and at eight, the police came to the Smith Group to ask about the situation."

"..."

Lily stumbles and nearly falls over.

As she leans against the wall, she looks over her shoulder at Meghan and gasps, "Oh my God, why it would be exposed at this time? This is about to kill the Smith Group!"

After Lily is transferred to the new department, she focuses on several presidents and senior managers, and didn’t take care of the International department. She never expected that someone would be so bold!

If it's just corruption, she can fire the worker. With the stain, the guy can't get to the top anywhere. But Jeffrey used the money he stole from the Smith Group to run a casino and sell underage children.

Louis had a car accident half a month ago, and the Smith Group is leaderless, leading to a decline in the stock price. It is finally stabilized.

But how could she solve the problems of this time?

"The men who got caught in the casino confessed all at the threat of the police." Meghan says, "It happens so suddenly that the Smith Group's PR department couldn't get in on it."

Lily takes a deep breath to suppress the agitation in her heart. "Call the PR department and the lawyer team."

"Yes."

Soon, Lily and the PR department and the lawyer team are waiting in the conference room.

All the people are caught by surprise by the sudden incident and they look grim.

Lily calmly says, "Jeffrey, the general manager of the International Department, has seriously damaged the reputation of the Smith Group. This matter must be dealt with properly. We should not take it lightly."

Several people sit in the conference room to discuss various countermeasures, more than an hour later, they finish the discussion.

Lily goes off to do other things.

Jeffrey embezzled the Smith Group's public funds, ran a casino, abducted and sold minors... The disaster to the Smith Group is almost devastating, and for days, it has gone viral.

The Smith Group’s stock has fallen more and more day by day, and even the families of the workers who died accidentally come to the Smith Group. They pull the white flag, and angrily accuse the Smith Group of having no conscience outside the building, pushing public anger to the climax.

Just then, Samson and several presidents seem to disappear and all the burdens fall on Lily.

She is exhausted dealing with the shareholders.

Lily knows that Louis also watches the news, but when chatting with him, she always adopts a relaxed tone and knows that he has moved back to the villa to rest. Leigh will take care of him.

The lawyer team of the Smith Group is the most outstanding one, which is even better than those of other groups in England. Its working style is simple and neat, and it soon solves the problem of the workers injuries.

The Public Relations Department prepares a manuscript for Lily to apologize to the public as the acting President of the Smith Group, and finally the lawyer team resolves the rest of the matter.

Lawyers are best at taking up the law to defend their bosses.

Some media outlet takes money from the Smith Group and know exactly what to do, but just as the news to be calmed down, another piece of news explodes across the webs.

Information about Lily's growth from childhood to adulthood is put online, including her parents' early divorce and her poor family background. Finally, Lily went abroad and entered Newcastle University.

This news is like a slap in the face to Lily.

Since she becomes the acting President, she is most afraid of her life being exposed. She has told the PR department to cover her life, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles.

As a result, the most feared things happen.

Lily holds a press conference to tell everyone about her life, but the outside world doesn't accept it.

As soon as they search on the Internet, they will know that Newcastle University is a world-famous translation academy. If one wants to enter it, he or she should not be smart, but also have certain assets. With Lily’s background, how could she get enrolled?

Despite Lily's explanation that her mother sold the house in her hometown and the scholarship, they still don't believe her. They even change the square and accuse her of improper professional position.

Since she is a translator, why did she be the acting President?

Lily is targeted, especially the stockholders who bought the Smith Group's shares. Their wording is sharper than those of outsiders. Shareholders are considering whether to hold a meeting and re-elect an acting president.

Although all information about Lily is blocked in the afternoon, people who saved the screenshots continue to post the information on the Internet. Although some media websites have shut down the comments, the black news is still overwhelming.

Jessie refuses to let Lily watch the news and tries to comfort her, saying, "Lily, don't listen to those people. It doesn't matter if you were not studying commercial. You have the ability to deal with the matter.”

Lily forces a smile. "I'm fine."

After seeing so much news, Lily is already numb. After eating, she goes back to the house, takes a shower and washes her hair, and finally lies on the bed tiredly, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

When all is quiet, one voice crosses Lily's mind, “Can't she really handle it?”

It seems to be so.

Louis is so good that he can handle whatever happens to the Smith Group with ease. However, she can't handle anything well, and makes things worse.

She is only a translator, and can only translate.

How could she know how to run a company?

Lily is so annoyed and anxious that she wants to vent her anger. After touching the mobile phone and sees Louis on the list, she hesitates whether to find him.

Louis, who has lost his legs, probably feels worse than she does. She shouldn't have bothered him with such things.

Lily struggles and finally puts down her phone.

As soon as the phone is put down, the screen lights up again and it is a voice call from Louis.

Lily answers the phone and holds the phone to her ear.

"I saw the news." Louis speaks first, his voice is low and deep. "I've had Leigh dealt with the media that attack you personally."

At the sound of his voice, Lily's grievance is magnified that her nose feels sore and she is about to cry. Then she holds back the tears and doesn’t want him to worry about her.

"No wonder the news disappeared so quickly. Help me thank Mr. Leigh." Lily pretends to be relaxed and says, "I'll have a meeting tomorrow to calm down the shareholders."

"Tell me if you feel upset." says Louis, with guilty in his voice, "I'm sorry to let you bear so much burden," Louis says apologetically.

"I... how can I feel upset..." Lily wants to say she is fine, but when she speaks, her voice is hoarse and she is about to cry. She bites her mouth tightly.

No, it's too embarrassing to cry.
