Howard sat quietly beside Corey, eagerly awaiting any progress on their plan.
Barbara excused herself to make a pot of tea, allowing the brothers to converse privately.
Howard looked at Corey’s legs, covered by the blanket, and asked, “Corey, do you still go to the altar room to recite scriptures?”
Corey followed his gaze to his legs.
“When the pain subsides, I do.”
“Why put yourself through it? In the end, you haven’t committed any grave sins. There’s no need to burden yourself with so much guilt. When will you stop torturing yourself? It’s tto let go,” Howard sighed.
Corey chuckled lightly. “Now that I’ve resigned and beca homebody. I’m living aimlessly with no goals and feel like a walking corpse. It’s only when I recite scriptures that I feel alive again. Perhaps one day, I’ll earn her forgiveness.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHoward knew exactly who Corey referred to.
Another long sigh escaped Howard’s lips.
He did not know how to persuade Corey to let go.
The air grew still, and neither of them spoke.
There was a hint of melancholy in the atmosphere, yet it was not awkward.
It was not until Barbara entered with tea cups that the tense atmosphere in the room was
broken.
Two hours later, Corey received a call back from the National Affairs Bureau.
Howard nervously clenched his hands, unable to sit still.
“Mr. Corey, three restaurants under the Santos Group were fined and ordered to rectify their food safety standards because they failed to meet food safety and quality inspection standards. There are no other records on file.”
“Good, send those inspection reports to my email,” Corey instructed before hanging up the phone.
A few minutes later, Barbara brought over a laptop, and Corey logged into his email
account to review the documents.
“They weren’t too serious of a violation, only fined and instructed to rectify their violations. None was forced to shut down for the immediate rectification,” Corey remarked.
Howard lowered his gaze, pondering seriously.
“What if I blow this issue out of proportion, get the media to exaggerate it a bit? It would be best to involve all the restaurants under the Santos Group and stir up a frenzy about the Santos Group’s food safely issues. What do you think?”
Corey smiled with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
“That’s a great suggestion. The Santos Group’s stock market will take a hit, and I believe Wayne will cknocking on your door within three days.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHoward was also impatient by nature, wasting no tto get things done.
He bid farewell to Corey and Barbara and quickly gathered his team to draft press releases for online distribution.
Late that night, without warning, the restaurants under the Santos Group suddenly appeared at the top of trending topics online.
In recent years, people have increasingly pursued a quality lifestyle, and food safety has always been a significant concern.
The Santos Group’s involvement in such a major news event greatly impacted the entire
company.
In Svelton, everyone in the Lawson family worked tirelessly to strategize against the Nicholls or Santos family.
Only Noah, far away in Farlem, remained oblivious to the affairs and was dedicated to serving as Hannah’s diligent secretary.
However, these days, even his workdays were not easy.
Each day, Hannah piled more tasks on him, keeping him busy like a regular worker.
In the CEO’s office, Hannah tapped her fingers on the desk, a mischievous smile playing
on her lips as she deliberately interrupted Noah’s busy typing.
“Mr. Noah, would you mind making a cup of coffee, lightly sweetened with no milk?”
