PopularNovel"Alright, I get it," Aveline said, gently patting Selena's hand to reassure her and temporarily abandoning the idea of going live. However, Selena, worried that Aveline might still consider doing a live stream, stuck close to her all evening, refusing to leave her side.
It wasn't out of selfishness.
Lucas, after all, was a powerful man with resources and influence, and he could easily suppress the situation.
A few insults wouldn't bother him much.

She couldn't afford to be exposed to the public eye. These netizens could turn vicious on a whim, and Aveline, with her gentle nature, would undoubtedly be deeply hurt by an online mob attack. Selena was worried sick about her! Meanwhile, at the Tudor Group, the lights burned bright late into the night.
The PR manager brought in the emergency response plan, only to hear the sounds of a heated argument coming from the office.
Desmond stood at the door, took the documents, and said, "You should head back." The PR manager nodded and left.
Desmond glanced at the documents, then pushed open the office door and stepped inside.
Inside the office, Mark was angrily pounding the table, his displeased eyes fixed on Lucas.
"Lucas, explain towhat's going on now. Wasn't the situation just calmed down? Why has it flared up again? It seems you can't handle this matter. I propose we call a shareholders' meeting to re-elect the president!" Several other executives in the room also wore grim expressions.
Just when one crisis had barely been resolved, another was already brewing.
Now, public opinion online was overwhelmingly against them! Everyone was demanding Lucas' resignation, calling for him to release the woman they claimed he was holding captive! Lucas sat in his leather chair, his expression cold and indifferent as he watched the furious executives in front of him.
Lucas spoke calmly, "So, after electing a new president, then what? How do you plan to handle this situation?" Mark maintained a stern face, "That won't be your concern anymore." Lucas continued, "Letguess: you'll dump all the blon me, announce that I've resigned, and claim that everything, from the incident at the hospital to hiding the woman, was my personal behavior and had nothing to do with the Tudor Group, right?" Mark's expression didn't change, but deep down, he was shocked. He hadn't expected Lucas to see right through their plans! That was exactly what they had been discussing.

So, the first step was to force Lucas to resign on his own.
Another board member, Winson Watson, spoke up, "Lucas, it's clear that someone is manipulating things from behind the scenes. Their target might not be the Tudor Group but you. You can't let your personal affairs drag down the entire company. Think about your father; this is his life's work. Can you really stand to see the company destroyed?"
"I can," Lucas replied with a slight smile. "Your suggestion is actually a good one. I'll drag the entire Tudor Group down with me. We'll all perish together."
"You...!" Mark's face twisted with anger. "You are being utterly unreasonable. A shareholders hable, m meeting must be held! The Tudor Group cannot be led by someone like you!" Lucas slowly stood up, the smile on his lips fading into a cold line, his entire demeanor imposing.
"All this fuss over a minor public opinion storm shows just how complacent you old guys have become. It seems you've lived in m comfort for too long and can't handle the slightest bit of turbulence anymore. "Letmake this clear today: the Tudor Group belongs to me, Lucas Tudor. None of you can remove me. If you wantto resign, I won't mind dragging everyone down with me. If you don't believe me, just try it.
