“You’re really good at kicking us when we are down, aren’t you?” she shouted in anger. “Why can’t you just leave us alone? This is Rupert’s company. Do you really want it to go bankrupt? Can’t you just let us be for once?”

But in spite of how angry Flora was, she still knew in the back of her mind that she had done something wrong to Annabel. If Annabel didn’t stop doing what she was currently doing to the company, it would mean disaster.

“It’s not that I can’t help you by calling it quits with this campaign, but I just don’t trust you to remain in charge of the company. So I have to buy the company and manage it myself,” Annabel told her straightforwardly.

But Flora did not want to hear any of this at all. As a result, they quarreled yet again. Flora knew she was wasting her time, but she was determined never to agree to Annabel acquiring the company.

At the end of the day, they parted ways on very bad terms, which was very much in line with Annabel’s expectations.

Flora was quite shrewd as she pulled off a preemptive strike before reporting. She realized the company was at its wits’ end and survival was not guaranteed.

The company was struggling to survive, and if the right decisions were not made, it would crumble. The next day, she released some news to the public.

Her statement attracted a lot of attention, and Annabel’s assistant saw it and showed it to Annabel. It was the top story among netizens.

“Is this the best she could come up with? Does she think she can patronize the shareholders with this? She must be joking. I already made my intentions to acquire Rupert’s company known to her, yet she pulled this merger stunt. Did she think this would change anything?”

It amazed Annabel that someone like Flora would shamelessly go to any length to get what she wanted.

If they had not refused Flora outright, it would have required going out of their way to save Flora and, by extension, the company.

However, she had made her stance known to Flora during their last argument, but Flora still had the guts to act the way she did. Flora seemed desperate and did not mind taking any risk. Did she think Annabel would not expose her?

Annabel thought that Flora was not properly informed as more devastating news was released to the public.

The news had some evidence attached, giving it more credibility as it spread on the Internet.

The evidence made the previous claims about the operational issues of Rupert’s company seem true.

“Now I get why people say that Flora is incompetent. She probably squandered the company’s money on herself.”

“Flora seems to have left the company bankrupt, little wonder their stock prices plummeted.”

While netizens dragged her online, media reporters did not give her any space.

She made sure to address the hurtful comments during one of her interviews.

“There have been malicious posts and comments from some people that defame the company. After we’ve passed this trying phase, we’ll make sure to investigate and deal with these people lawfully,” Flora said, but the press thought otherwise.
