Chapter 22 In The Eye Of The Storm

In the building of the Quantum Group.

Darren was in a meeting.

The shareholders seemed to be calling him one after the other, which forced him to end the meeting.He was the major shareholder of the Quantum Group, and the remaining shares were split among the other shareholders.

The news had ruined his work and business.

The shareholders were demanding he solve the problem as soon as possible.

As soon as Darren finished explaining to the shareholders, Sierra called him.

A frown creased Darren's forehead.He wanted to ignore the call at first.

But after a moment's thought, he patiently answered the call.

As soon as the phone connected, he heard Sierra sob uncontrollably.

"Oh, God, Darren! What do I do now? I guess someone's plotting against us.What did I do? Why would someone do such a horrible thing? If the rumors continue, my acting career will be utterly ruined."

Sierra sniffed loudly and pleaded, "Darren, can you please solve the problem? I don't know what to do."

Darren took a deep breath and comforted Sierra, "Don't worry.This is my problem as well.I'll handle it."

With that, he hung up the phone.Darren let out a weary sigh and rubbed his temples.

Just then, Wilton walked over.

"Mr.Sampson..."

"How is it going?"

"I couldn't delete the news."

"What?"

Darren turned and glared at Wilton.

Wilton pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"Well, it looks like someone influential is behind all this.The person in charge of the news website said they couldn't afford to offend both sides.They don't want us to make things difficult for them.They have refused to delete the news regardless of how much we pay them."

Darren's face darkened.Wilton lowered his head. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Darren was one of the most powerful and influential people in the city.

Not many dared to refuse to listen to him.

The news continued to spread on the Internet regardless of how much they pressurized them.

Darren guessed someone very powerful was behind it.

Darren had been busy all day and finally returned home, exhausted.

The butler, Marcel Morris, took his coat.

Darren sighed and slumped on the sofa.

Just then, Bonita held Elora's arm and helped her walk over to Darren.

After seeing the news about Claire hooking up with a wealthy man released on the internet, Bonita and Sierra celebrated it in private.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHowever, they never expected the situation to take a drastic turn.

The people who cursed Claire began insulting and abusing Sierra.

Her image was ruined in a short time, and the stock price of the Quantum Group began to plummet.

Both Bonita and Sierra were equally startled.

Bonita was angry that the plan had backfired.She wanted to ruin Claire's reputation but ended up getting into trouble.

Her anger reached its peak when she saw Darren returning home.

"Darren, you should teach that bitch a lesson! I'm sure Claire must be the one who has exposed your relationship with Sierra! You can't let her get away with it!"

Elora was equally furious.

"Exactly! That bitch! She just divorced you but has already hooked up with another man.Perhaps she was always cheating on you.Otherwise, how would she have found another man in such a short time? We shouldn't let go of her!"

"Enough!"

Darren threw the glass in his hand.

The shattering noise startled Elora and Bonita.

The two recoiled in shock and exchanged glances.

They never expected such a reaction from Darren.He was seething with rage.

Darren had never cared about rumors and gossip.

The attention span of internet users was limited.

Another hot gossip would soon catch their attention, and they would soon forget about Darren and Sierra.

Therefore, Darren believed the rumor would only tarnish his reputation and not affect the Quantum Group severely.

But the situation seemed to go beyond his control.

First, the stock price of the group plummeted, and the shareholders began pressurizing him one after the other.

On top of everything, Sierra was annoying him, and he couldn't find a way to remove the news from the internet.He wanted to return home to take a break from all the problems.

However, his mother and sister were nagging him.

Darren couldn't take it anymore.

Elora and Bonita didn't dare to utter a word after seeing the murderous look on Darren's face.

"I don't care who posted these pictures and started the damn rumor.I have divorced Claire.I don't want to talk about her.Don't mention her in front of me! Do you understand?"

Darren grabbed his coat from the butler and stormed out.A moment later, the Maybach drove away and disappeared from their sight.
