The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1559 Burn The Bridge After Crossing It
“Of course, we can use a different method this time,” the editor-in-chief chief suggested, smiling at him. “Well, since they don’t have this problem now, why don’t you create some opportunities for yourself?”
“Are you saying that I should frame them for something else?” Suddenly interested, Jacob raised a brow. He cast the editor-in-chief a curious glance.
“I didn’t say anything like that,” the editor-in-chief replied with a tight lip. From his tone, it seemed that he was offended by Jacob’s words. In fact, he even turned around and prepared to leave.
“I apologize. I spoke without thinking,” Jacob hurriedly said and lowered his head. New Age was the biggest news company in the country. Even though he rich was a rich and powerful man, he still did not dare to offend them.
After all, sometimes the pen was indeed mightier than the sword. One bad article about him or the company could prove to be troublesome.
Hearing his apology, the editor-in-chief sat back down and gave a genuine smile. He explained the details to Jacob. “The KING Group is now completely relying on their marketing and they’ve been pretty credible so far. You can write an article about their overuse of sodium, or you can ask someone to set up something in their factory. After you’ve done that, you can hire someone to specifically buy those faulty products.”
Honestly, there was no need for such an elaborate discussion because Jacob was already familiar with this method. The two of them smirked at each other as if they were both imagining the KING Group being destroyed.
That night, Jacob ordered someone to find a thief who had just been released from prison. He had his reasons for hiring this kind of person. First of all, he would already have a criminal record. Even if he was caught, people would not thoroughly investigate the people involved in his case. The police would simply think that the man had just committed the same crime that he was imprisoned for. Second, even if something else happened, Jacob could steer clear and nothing could ever be traced back to him. More importantly, those who had just gotten out of prison could be easily persuaded with money.
After being briefed about the task he needed to do, the ex-con set out to complete it. Sitting in his office, Jacob couldn’t help but chuckle as he imagined what the headlines would talk about a few days later.
A few hours later, the phone rang as he had expected it to. Jacob couldn’t hide the grin on his face as
his face. After a deep breath, he continued, “So this time, I wanted to join hands with you and teach that Ke Group a lesson. I want to let them know that they shouldn’t mess with us!”
Once he finished talking, Bill immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Darren still didn’t’ say anything even after Bill had put down the glass. His silence made Bill anxious.
“Darren, what does your silence mean? I invited you here for your own sake. The KING Group wouldn’t have survived without my help back then. You said it yourself!”
“But the KING Group is already flourishing fine on its own, isn’t that right?”
Darren retorted with a smile. Then, he casually took a small sip of the wine in front of Bill.
‘Does Bill take me for a fool?’ he sneered in his mind. ‘It is already very difficult to deal with Jacob. The Ke Group would be even harder to take down.’
It was not because he was afraid of them. However, he was trying to avoid making another enemy at the moment. At least, not until Bonnie was released from prison. He couldn’t risk her just for this.
Bill’s eyes darkened and he flew into a rage when he heard Darren’s unbothered reply.
Because of Darren’s indifferent attitude, Bill couldn’t help but feel furious. His face was flushed with anger as he pounded heavily on the table and cursed at him.
Within seconds, a group of people dressed in black rushed in. About twenty or more people barged into the lounge and immediately filled the room. The cold tension in the room could easily be cut by a sharp knife.
With a contemptuous smirk, Darren asked, “Bill, what are you doing?”
A smug chuckle came out of Bill’s throat. He replied arrogantly, “Oh Darren, can’t you see what I’m going to do with you? Do you take me for a fool? Of all the things I hate, ungrateful people like you are on the top of my list!”
