Chapter 1521 Stubbornness Makes Things Worse
The Montclair Group was bound to be implicated, as the onslaught of criticisms unquestionably tarnished the company's reputation.
Landon, the nominal CEO, once boasted about his superiority to Taylor. He even bragged that he would bring down the Whitman family. Yet there he was, struggling to find a way out of his predicament.
The Montclair family's tactics had always been dubious, and no secret was safe from the inquisitive people online.
While the previous three Montclair generations had been capable, the family began riding on others' coattails when Tamia took the helm. Even their employees were unaware of any real achievements.
Beyond connections and bribery, the family had no commendable qualities to speak of.
As the incompetent man he was, Landon couldn't withstand the criticism and fearfully locked himself in his office. He ignored his secretary's persistent knocking, hoping for Tamia to come to his rescue.
Meanwhile, the aristocratic families that had hoped to use the Montclairs to dispose of the Whitman family were left bewildered.
The Waldrons, ever eager to take the lead, now plunged into panic. After all, the Montclair family crumbled right after their fallout with the Whitmans.
"Didn't Landon promise that Taylor's account would reveal discrepancies? How did things turn up like this?" Alas, their questions remained unanswered. Even Landon was dumbfounded. He had filed a report with the authorities, yet the Montclair family was being investigated instead.
Plus, who on earth leaked that video? Tamia had never told him that Ophelia schemed her way into the Whitman family!
With things going awry, Landon was at a loss and could only call for help. The employees looked on in cold silence, having only learned the truth about their company.
The Whitman family had locked down several outsourced projects for the Montclairs, yet the Montclair family had schemed to replace them.
Now that the divorce was public, many companies were demanding to terminate their contracts. After witnessing the Montclairs' deceit, the companies no longer trusted doing business with them.
Landon didn't dare to issue any threats. In the past, he referred to Noah with affection, almost as if he were the Whitman family's second son. However, his declaration over the past two days had betrayed his true intentions.
Every one of the Montclair family's misdeeds had been completely dug up. Filled with indignation, Tamia rushed to the company and demanded the PR department address the crisis.
She refused to accept that the Montclair family was at its end. Even if Noah had transferred his marital property, she was certain that Ophelia would still receive her share once the relevant authorities conducted their investigations. Besides, Alfred was now out of the country.
Even if the Whitmans had any justifications, their accounts remained vulnerable.
Under the pressure of Tamia's fury, the PR department issued a lawyer's letter in hopes of intimidating the people online.
However, Lennox Camshion, the PR manager, recognized that the announcement could ultimately lead to the company's downfall.
He attempted to reason with Tamia. "We can't confront the public head-on since we're in unfavorable circumstances, Madam Wooten. The best course of action right now is for you and Ms. Ophelia to issue a public apology. After all, that video..."
When Tamia heard his suggestion, her anger flared. "Why should I apologize to those lowly people? Are they
even worthy of my apology?"
Lennox clarified that the apology was meant for the Whitman family, explaining that Noah might give the Montclairs a chance of survival for Cyrus' sake
At that moment, Ophelia shrieked, "I'll never apologize to them!"
