Another World Mall-Chapter 609: Crisis

"Say… what is happening? Haven’t you promised me to control your family for the time being?"

"…" Damian Heshton looked down. He had never thought that the situation would just cause an even more uproar.

Because of this second news, the public opinion had turned against them.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

In fact, there were a lot of articles saying that the Heshton family’s dominion would start the moment they built the facility. As a result, the Heshton family would become a tyrant who was strong enough to even fight the government.

When that happened, the law could be disregarded, which would cause an even greater injustice. Hence, the public opinion would turn against them.

The article that Hana bought actually stated, "Resshia Foundation is better than the Releson Medical Center for the OpenSky Company’s collaboration."

In the end, the Resshia family was much more stable and didn’t have a lot of scandals, so their reputation was much better than the Heshton family.

If this continued, the collaboration would end in a failure due to a single reason. When Damian thought about it, he realized that this was an attack against the Heshton family.

It could be seen that there were a lot of keyboard warriors that dug up all kinds of scandals from the past, which would hit their reputation much more harshly.

As a businessman, Hana didn’t care whether to work together with the Heshton family or the Resshia family, considering the benefits she got would most likely be the same. The Heshton family was chosen simply because of their scale. If she chose the Resshia family, the Heshton family would definitely attack the Resshia family as well.

However, when he investigated the matter, Damian couldn’t find the Resshia family in the attack. It was as if they weren’t the ones doing it.

Although it hadn’t been confirmed, his source of information told him that the ones attacking him were other families in the royal capital, which confused him, considering their business wasn’t even in the same field.

Damian gritted his teeth. "This is clearly an attack toward the Heshton family. Miss Hana—"

Hana’s expression turned colder. "Of course, this is an attack. Even I can see that much. Someone is targeting you. However, why do I need to care? You’re not the only one that can collaborate with me, Mr. Damian."

Damian’s face turned pale. He definitely couldn’t afford to have the Resshia family succeed. That was why he stated, "Don’t worry, Miss Hana. I will definitely handle this properly."

"That’s what you said a few days ago. And look what we have right now! Am I a joke to you, Mr. Damian?"

"No." Damian gritted his teeth. "I’m sure that—"

Before he could finish, someone knocked on the door.

"Miss Hana. This is Quinn. We have a problem."

Hana frowned and turned to the door. "Come in."

A middle-aged man entered the room and handed over the tab.

Damian wasn’t aware of what was going on.

However, the next thing he realized, Hana’s face had already turned dark.

"Miss Hana…" Damian gulped down.

Hana simply put the tab on the table before sliding it to Damian.

It was another piece of news.

’Hana Skylark is planning to marry someone from the Heshton family?’

’Clovis, the man who is with Hana Skylark, can’t be seen anywhere?"

It was news about her relationship. After everything that happened between them, including the banquet, Clovis was rumored to be extremely close to Hana Skylark, to the point where Jeremy, her grandfather, had given his approval.

It was a rumor that was never confirmed, but a welcome rumor for the Skylark family. Besides, Clovis was probably the only one that could mess around or make her do something aside from working.

That was why Jeremy had never had a problem with Clovis.

But the problem came the moment they started questioning her problem. After all, this had become an attack toward her. And the cooperation with the Heshton family was the one triggering it, especially with how the Heshton family behaved in the past few days.

"I came purely for business, but I wonder… who is actually the one spreading this rumor?" Hana narrowed her eyes.

Damian understood her meaning. "Are you suspecting us?"

"If I were to marry into your family, you could basically rule both this country and mine. In addition, all kinds of rumors would be dispelled and the people would be scared.

"By spreading this rumor and forcing me into such a situation… I don’t think there’s anyone that will benefit more than you, Mr. Damian." Hana looked furious.

"This is not us. There’s no way we will spread such a rumor!"

"Who knows? With how your family behaves, it might be possible." Hana snorted. She stood up with an annoyed face. "Is it really possible for us to still cooperate, Mr. Damian? If this is how you treat your business partner, I think it’s better for me to find the Resshia family."

"No. This is not how we treat our business partner! Please believe in us. We’ll prove that the one spreading the rumor is not us! Please give us three days… no, two days! I will definitely show you the result."

Hana glared at Damian. If they let go of this opportunity, they would definitely become a laughingstock.

In addition, a lot of people would flock around the Resshia family, as the latter would start to suppress them.

That was why he had no other choice but to prove it.

Hana narrowed her eyes. "I will give you one last chance. You should know that this cooperation has become a double-edged sword for us… All of this is because of you. You better find that person, Mr. Damian."

"I know… I mean, I understand." Damian lowered his head. He never bowed to anyone, considering he was the one who was always in power. However, he had no choice. With the help of the Resshia family, Hana could even kick out the Heshton family from the capital.

Hana harrumphed and took her leave, not wanting to hear a single word from him anymore.
