Chapter 579

 579:
“Meanwhile, Lawson Group boasted about decades of stability, only to collapse under a heap of internal scandals.”
“Give credit where it’s due—CR Corporation consistently excels in everything from fashion to real estate. Their factories maintain transparency, and their safety standards are unmatched. Their founder truly spares no expense on quality.”
“Even more impressive is how modest CR Corporation remains despite their immense success. They never flaunt their status; they focus on delivering high-quality goods and services. That sincerity is commendable.”
“And talk about humility—the CR founder stays completely out of the public eye. To this day, no one even knows his face because he’s too busy genuinely building the brand.”
“Guys, don’t wait—buy CR Corporation stock now! Their growth is soaring.”
“Lucky me—I invested early, and my returns have multiplied.”
“I’ve gone further—I logged onto CR Corporation’s website and stocked up on their products. Their quality and reliability never disappoint.”
Within hours, social media buzzed with admiration for CR Corporation’s charitable record and flawless business reputation.
This sudden wave of praise sent CR Corporation’s earnings soaring, bringing significant profits even to their new partner, Burke Group. At the same time, Lawson Group continued its downward spiral as internal scandals drove its stock price into the ground.
Inside Lawson Group’s emergency meeting room, Jeffery faced the board as questions came at him from every direction. His mood grew increasingly grim.
“Jeffery, the company’s survival is at stake. Have you not devised any solutions yet?”

“You completely ruined the promising deal with CR Corporation!”
“Jeffery, I’m seriously doubting your capabilities at this point. When Cruz returns, we’ll need to reevaluate your position.”
Unable to endure the criticism any longer, Jeffery snapped, “I promise I will resolve this! Just give me a little more time, please!”
One director shot back, “You’d better keep that promise, Cruz. Your father—and all of us—worked too hard building Lawson Group to watch it crumble because of your mistakes!”
Frustration hung heavily in the room as the meeting abruptly ended. Jeffery clenched his fists, overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Once confident in his ability to manage the crisis, he now realized it had spiraled far beyond his control. Desperation forced him to consider reaching out once more to CR Corporation’s founder for forgiveness.
Back at home, Linsey was quietly resting and recuperating when her phone rang—it was Dolores. Linsey barely managed a greeting before Dolores’s concerned voice filled her ear.
