FULL NOVELXO Chapter 242 They Took the Bait
Jane and Elyse continued the previous topic, stage accident. It was ridiculous for those who made the trouble with a title sponsor. "Ms. Jane, we are also the co-organizer."
Peach TV predicted the success of the Competition for Great Dancers, so they made a lot of requests.
These requirements were reasonable for entertainment programs, including the investment to build and modify the stage.
They should report all things to Jane, but Charlee passed away then, and the Duncan Group was involved in the case of drug trafficking. So they chose not to disturb Jane.
"As the happening of the accident, someone begins to stir the thing up. They make up the rumor about cheating in work and cutting down on materials."
Elyse continued the introduction of the situation. Jane, who believed she was tough enough, began to feel increasingly miserable for her experience these days.
Moreover, it was about Kylie and Randy. That Kylie was out with the Duncan Group was no news for the public.
And Randy had a lot of traffic, so fans couldn't help but go crazy, not to say there were some people egged them on.
Fans only looked at the results and did not care about the process.
"Why did Kylie participate in the program?"
Jane sat in the chair, trying to keep her tone steady. She told herself that even if she was anxious, it had happened.
She could do nothing but the remedy.
When they were discussing the contract, Kylie did not mention anything about the program.
"It's the new rule of the competition. Each member can invite a guest to help them."
Randy invited Kylie. They saw each other as sister and brother long ago.
Kylie fell from the three-story-high stage during the rehearsal and had multiple fractures all over her body. Even if she woke up, the injuries would be permanent.
Not only could she not walk, but she also could not sit in the future and could lie for a lifetime.
Some of the angry fans surrounded the Peach TV, others blocked the entrance of our company.
"Ms. Jane, what should we do now?"
Elyse was so anxious that she could not come up with a plan.
"When did the accident happen?"
"How long has it been since the accident?" asked Jane, looking at Elyse.
"Less than an hour."
Elyse read the watch and replied.
"Less than an hour. It's not strange that people are surrounding the Peach TV. Fans are going to participate in the program."
Jane immediately calmed down. The fans got the news, rushed to her company, managed to block the entrances, and hurt her employees. All of them happened within an hour. Hadn't they acted too fast? "No. They acted as quickly as professionals. I knew that these things would happen."
Elyse widened her eyes. Did someone try to frame the company?
Indeed, all of these did not make sense.
"If the Peach TV has an emergency strategy, they should seal off the scene first. Otherwise, we won't be able to clear it up even if we have stolen the materials."
Jane sighed. She was most afraid of being plotted. She had not done the preparations, but the other side had.
The scene was a mess. The possibility of being destroyed was high.
"Find Betty first and contact the TV station. At this time, if they want to push the blame onto us, it will be even more troublesome."
They needed to negotiate with the station to unify the speeches and the solutions.
If her company took all the blames, only one would be ruined.
Elyse nodded. Her phone was about to explode, calls coming one after the other.
The store staff reported that there were already fans who protested outside the stores and asked Jane to explain.
"Calm down. It's OK. The worst result is that we are wrongfully treated. But you have to believe that there will be a day when everything becomes clear."
The mills of God ground slowly. The malefactors would get punishments one day.
If it was her problem, Jane would take the responsibility. But no one could wrong her.
"Ms. Jane, how could you still have the mood to joke?"
Elyse's mood was complex. Jane was right. The worst result was they had to take responsibility.
She cheered up and began to contact the Peach TV.
Because of Betty, the TV station didn't dump the blame all on them. It was a blessing in misfortune.
"Now, find a professional to check and see where the problem is."
Elyse made a few calls and understood the situation. She was not as flustered as before.
The most important thing was to hold an emergency press conference and deal well with public relations. They had to explain to the public as soon as possible. Otherwise, the fans would think that you were shirking responsibility. It would do no good on impressions, especially when the impressions had been already far from good. "Inform the media that the press conference will be at 8:30 a. m. in the big conference room."
Jane took a deep breath. Now she had to change her clothes and attend the conference with her bodyguards.
She must be careful with the people who attended the conference. There might be someone who intended to hurt her.
8 a. m.
Potbelly was humming a song on a car to the outskirt.
He kidnapped three other people, Ada's parents, and brother. The greedy family would gather together soon.
That bitch refused to surrender until she was faced with grim reality. This time she must pay the price.
Soon, they arrived at the warehouse.
"Sis, how come you are here?"
When Ada's younger brother saw her, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Stupid as he was, he realized that Potbelly fooled him.
"Why are you here?"
Although she had a grudge against her younger brother and hated him for gambling, she still couldn't help but panic when she saw the one she doted for years. What did Potbelly want to do? Was he threatening her with her family?
Ada's face changed. She suddenly understood that the video was deadly to Potbelly.
"Potbelly said he couldn't contact you. He wants ... wants to give you some of the properties."
Ada's younger brother still had a bit of shame in his heart. That's right. He just wanted to get the property without his sister's knowing.
Ada's parents also shared the same thoughts.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Ada was stunned. She could escape, but how could she do it with the whole family?
"Ada, what's going on?"
Ada's parents did not want to ask about this. They only wanted money.
They were living in an old house. They had always wanted a new one. They blamed their daughter for being useless and could not get the money even if she married into a rich. "Your brother's girlfriend wants a good new house; otherwise, she won't be together with your brother. Do you have money? Buy a house for your brother."
Ada's mother said blatantly.
"Yeah, hurry up and give us money."
Ada's father added. They did not realize the danger at all. In their eyes, Potbelly was lucrative.
Threatening him with this kidnapping, they might earn some money.
Ada fell silent. Her parents and brother were always like this: asking her for money.
They would smile at her if she gave them, or they would turn against her.
"I don't have money. Don't you know the situation?"
Potbelly was smart. He knew that all her families were misers, interested only in money. As long as he threw out the right bait, they would take.
"Ada, now I have your brother and your parents. Stop playing tricks on me. Tell me, where is the thing?"
Potbelly grinned. If Pearl had the thing, he could make a call and fetch it.
However, Potbelly believed Ada would not give it to others.
