Chapter 797:
Austen Herrera glanced at the tablet. “Yes, I saw it p>
He handed over a carefully prepared response plan, waiting as Ernst read it. “Mr. Harper, how do you like this strategy? If you approve, we can implement it immediately to ensure the Harper Group’s reputation remains intact p>
Ernst read the strategy carefully. The proposal was good—strategic, thorough, and aimed straight at Rosie’s vulnerabilities.
It was obvious Austen had thoroughly studied Rosie’s history and her conflicts with the Harper family.
Still, these were private family affairs, and even the most informed PR manager couldn’t truly grasp the full details.
Ernst pointed to a specific line. “Change this. You said Rosie sued the Harper family after her grandfather’s death because of the way the shares were split amongst the p>
“Relatives. That’s nothing more than outsider speculation. Neither I nor the chairman has ever revealed the actual reason Rosie filed the lawsuit against the Harper family p>
A flicker of curiosity crossed Austen’s face. Back then, Rosie’s lawsuit against the Harper family had stirred quite a buzz throughout the company. While views differed, the dominant narrative painted Rosie as a victim, forced to sue because the Harper family had mistreated her.
But maybe that wasn’t the truth after all?
Lifting an eyebrow, Austen looked at Ernst, his interest clearly stirred. “Mr. Harper, how would you prefer we word it, then? After that board meeting, the company’s statement about the matter was vague, and that left room for plenty of speculation. Most people sympathize with Rosie p>
He paused for a moment, eyes fixed on Ernst’s face as he gauged his reaction. “Are you thinking of disclosing the truth to the public? This touches on private family matters. If I may, I’d recommend sticking to whatever protects the Harper Group’s image. Revealing the truth might not be necessary p>
Austen stayed quiet after that, waiting for Ernst’s final call.
Deep down, he wanted to know what had really happened. Even mid-level management at the Harper Group didn’t know the whole story.

After a short silence, Ernst settled on his course of action. “This is what you’ll say—Rosie fiercely objected to Luther’s inheritance plan, which escalated into a heated argument that’s believed to have triggered his sudden death. Afterward, she filed lawsuits against her uncles and other family members, trying to take the Harper Group’s shares p>
Austen blinked, stunned. A lot of people found Luther’s sudden death odd. But it wasn’t strange for an old man to collapse from a stroke or heart attack.
However, dying from the rage of a fight was too shocking.
If this version of the story went public under the Harper Group’s name, it would destroy Rosie’s image completely.
She might be disliked by the Harper family, but she was still one of them. Wasn’t this too brutal?
