Chapter 182 No Peace of Mind
The tension between Patterson Group and Graves Group has reached a boiling point.
However, Patterson Group's actions were despicable, and they decided to shut down every comment
section where people criticized them.
Inside Patterson Group's office, there was an eerie silence.
James's face was ghastly pale, and Lamia was furious, having just vented his anger.
Lamia yelled, "Is this how you handle things? We spent so much money to acquire your company, and
before Starlight Entertainment even made a move, you backed down. What use are you to us? Now, I
want you to immediately find a way to take down the news. I don't want to see any more scandalous
reports about this incident!"
All staff hung their heads and remained silent.
Even the public relations department and the newly appointed director from Starshine Entertainment
were speechless.
They were pale, and their voices stifled. No one dares to say a word.
Someone from the public relations department finally spoke up, "Mr. James Patterson's secretary
blackmailed us for money. We've already given her three million dollars, and she stopped causing
trouble. But someone from Starshine Entertainment had to offend Amanda.
"And now, not only have we offended Starlight Entertainment, but also Graves Group. Our Patterson
Group's stocks plummeted as soon as the market opened..."
Someone from Starshine Entertainment couldn't help but argue back, "We didn't know Amanda is
Baxter's wife. No paparazzi even caught a glimpse of her, and besides, to cover up Mr. James
Patterson's scandal, we definitely need a bigger one to expose!"
Lamia's face contorted, and in anger, she forcefully threw her cup on the ground. The cup shattered to
pieces.
She yelled, "I've been saying from the beginning that we should have arrested that woman for
extortion. But you all gave her money. Who approved of that?"
The members of the public relations department exchanged glances and looked toward James.
James's expression grew even darker.
He thought, "I just treat the women outside as playthings, and when I am tired of them, I simply pay
them off. But this time, the woman is the most foolish of all. How dare she threaten me? And things are All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
out of control..."
James scolded, "That's enough. Do you want to make things even worse?"
Hearing this, Lamia reluctantly turned her head, suppressing her anger.
In the final analysis, it was all caused by James.
Christian, who had remained silent this whole time, seemed detached from the situation.
Even though the scandal involved his own family, he remained calm and composed.
The members of the public relations department looked at Christian and softly suggested, "Mr.
Patterson, how about we take the initiative to apologize to the Graves family and seek reconciliation?
It's better than letting things escalate further!"
Christian's eyes were pitch black, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
James nodded. "I think that's the only way now. It's best to have them cooperate and remove their
explanations. Let your mother accompany you on this trip."
Lamia stood up abruptly and said, "I won't go. Isn't this embarrassing enough?"
James stood up, snorted disdainfully, and walked out.
Lamia changed expression several times, trembling with anger.
She thought, "It was his fault from the beginning, and now this whole mess is starting to bring up my
promotion history. Why is this happening to me?"
Christian remained silent throughout. He had already been accustomed to his parents' affairs.
