Chapter 1055

“Pilsner Group’s legal team is already making the necessary preparations,” Jonah said. “I’m going to sue Rebecca for slander, defamation, and damaging my reputation.”
“What are the chances of winning?” Hailey asked.
“Nothing happened between Rebecca and me. I’m confident we’ll come out on top.”
“Even if you win, the scandal won’t just disappear. People often don’t care about the truth. They just want something to talk about.”
Justin nodded in agreement. “Yeah, that’s right. Honestly, Rebecca’s got a twisted mindset. Winning or losing isn’t her main concern. She just wants to drag Jonah through this scandal and crash Pilsner Group’s stock.”
Hailey suddenly recalled Rebecca’s words. “If I can’t have peace, I’ll make sure no one does.”
It was clear Rebecca was unstable and dangerous.
“Mr. Pilsner, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?” Hailey asked.
Jonah’s and Justin’s eyes lit up.
“Ms. Hailey, what is it? Tell us, quick!” Justin urged.
Hailey glanced at Jonah. “If I tell you, you have to promise to follow my plan.”
“Alright, let’s hear it,” Jonah said.
“We’ll put on a show.”
“A show? What kind of show?”
“Come closer.”
As Jonah and Justin leaned in, Hailey shared her plan with them.
…
Outside of Pilsner Group, Rebecca sat quietly in a luxury car. She was fully aware that Jonah was just moments away from publicly announcing his lawsuit against her.
But regardless of the odds, she remained unfazed. Stories about a powerful CEO tangled in scandal with a young college student were exactly the kind of sensational headlines the public loved. As long as she stayed firm in her accusations, she could bring Jonah down.
Through the car window, her eyes lingered on the towering office building. If only Jonah had fallen for her charm, things would be different now. But since he hadn’t, he only had himself to blame for what was coming.
In the lobby, a large group of media reporters had already gathered. Rebecca wasted no time in pulling on her hat and zipping up her coat She disappeated into the crowd of journalists, posing as just another bystander.
Around her, the reporters buzzed with anticipation.
“Is Mr. Pilsner here yet?”
“The clock has struck 9:00 am, the exact time,
the presscone
Was Set to begin. Where is he?”
“I can’t wait to hear what Mr. Pilsner is going to say.”
“What do you think? Was there really something between Mr. Pilsner and that college student?”
“Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if there was. What man could resist a beauty like that? I saw her yesterday. She’s not only stunning but has a figure that turns heads She’s exactly the kind of woman CEOs.go after.”
The reporters couldn’t help but gossip among themselves.
When she heard their words of admiration, Rebecca’s lips curved into a pleased smile.
Suddenly, a voice cut through the air. “Look! Someone’s coming!”
Rebecca glanced up and immediately spotted Justin.
He made his way forward, Jeremy following closely at his heels.
Where on earth was Jonah?
Why hadn’t he shown up yet?
The crowd of reporters surged forward.
“Where’s Mr. Pilsner? Why isn’t he here?”
“Wasn’t he supposed to hold the press conference? Why hasn’t he appeared?”
“Get Mr. Pilsner out here! We want to hear from him!”
A group of security guards dressed in black stood alert, keeping the area sealed off.
Justin lifted his hand, signaling the crowd to quiet down.
