After ending the call with Bai Xiaosheng, Caroline dialed Vice Chairman Morgan. She had missed the previous call.
To her surprise, Morgan picked up almost imdiately.
What could possibly make the Vice Chairman so anxious? Not just the eting planned for tomorrow to tackle Bai Xiaosheng, right?
Caroline was curious.
"Caroline, did you get the news?!" The mont the call connected, Morgan’s voice was brisk and urgent.
"What news?" Caroline was montarily stunned.
Morgan’s voice on the other end was heavy, "Turn on the TV right now, switch to the fifth channel in Ganande, no, just use your phone and search for sothing like ’shocking developnts in the Bai Xiaosheng incident’!"
Morgan’s rapid and urgent tone made Caroline realize that sothing was unusual.
"Alright, Mr. Morgan, I’ll check right now. I’ll hang up first." Caroline said.
Instead, Morgan hung up the call first.
At this mont, Morgan was watching the TV with a grim face, observing the intense discussion among legal experts about this matter.
Once this video was broadcasted, it wouldn’t just clear Bai Xiaosheng’s na or sway the jury; even by falling into the public’s view, it could ignite anger, but this ti it wasn’t directed at Bai Xiaosheng, but at Nick, Ma Weiqian, and Jin Yunxuan.
And Caroline!
The ntion of the na "Caroline" by those three would spark a huge uproar, likely surpassing Bai Xiaosheng!
As a result...
Caroline’s election might not succeed!
Morgan couldn’t help but clench his fists, his brows furrowed tightly.
For the Morgan family, the future Mayor of Ganande City was no small resource.
In the beginning, there were voices in the family to support Caroline’s opponent, but he argued vehently to redirect resources towards Caroline.
Just as success was in sight, to encounter such an event was unexpected!
"Foolish!" Morgan couldn’t help but curse furiously.
He was naturally cursing Caroline.
Initially, Morgan thought Caroline’s move was brilliant, but now he truly felt that this woman had made a complete blunder!
Trying to trick others, she ended up trapping herself.
If this isn’t foolishness, what is?
"It’s over; there won’t be a Mayor Caroline!" Morgan sighed deeply.
At this mont, Caroline, after finishing her conversation with Morgan, was checking online news.
As the written content reached Caroline’s eyes, she, even in her usual composure, was so shocked that she stood up abruptly.
The article contained a video, which Caroline clicked to reveal Jin Yunxuan’s smug face as he spoke revealing words.
Caroline was dumbfounded.
The five-minute edited video made Caroline tremble all over, her face a mix of shock and anger.
She didn’t have the mind to ponder how those three were fooled by Bai Xiaosheng into saying such things.
At the mont, winning or losing against Bai Xiaosheng was no longer important.
Because this video could completely destroy her!
Public criticism would overwhelm her.
The massive resources her family invested and the promising position she was about to secure would collapse. Thereafter, Caroline would vanish from the political scene.
Without even stepping over the threshold, she was finished before realizing her ambitions!
She wondered how her family would treat her and how the executives of the Zhenbei Group would handle such betrayal against a colleague...
Caroline suddenly felt a sense of vertigo.
The matter involving Bai Xiaosheng had been blown out of proportion, and as a result, she had beco a target, and even she couldn’t bear it!
Caroline recalled the ssage Bai Xiaosheng had left for her through those three in the video.
At the ti, she hadn’t received it, and even if she did, she might have dismissed it with a laugh.
Yet now, it was a perfect irony!
"Did he foresee this back then?!" Caroline bit her teeth in horror.
Caroline then thought of what Bai Xiaosheng had just told her over the phone, seeing through all her arrangents, to which she had responded with ridicule.
But now, she was slapped hard by reality from all sides!
Bai Xiaosheng had truly seen through everything!
He was clearly mocking her during that call!
"Impossible, you can’t be this strong!" The overwhelmingly proud Caroline couldn’t help but unleash a piercing scream that shook the heavens and earth.
The study door was knocked urgently, and a servant outside called out, "Miss Caroline, do you... need help?!"
Caroline’s scream was loud enough to penetrate walls, floors, and even the night sky outside.
At this mont, Caroline bit her lower lip, twisting the flesh on her thigh with a hard grip to cool herself down with pain.
She marched over and flung the study door open.
Outside, several secretaries and servants stared in horror at the twisted face of Miss Caroline.
"Go, call my entire election think tank here, now!"
"Get everyone responsible for crisis managent in front of in ten minutes!"
"Summon all the dia liaison personnel quickly!"
...
Caroline’s eyes were bloodshot as she scread out one command after another.
The people in front of her were in a fluster.
Just then, a secretary’s phone rang urgently. He quickly checked it and reported anxiously to Caroline, who glared back with bloodshot eyes, "Miss Caroline, it’s-it’s Jin Yunxuan..."
Hearing that na pushed Caroline over the edge. She grabbed the phone and hurled it against the wall, shattering it to pieces, "Go and kill her! And Nick, and Ma Weiqian! Go, all of them, die!"
Everyone in front of Caroline ran away in terror.
They had never seen Miss Caroline so violent and deranged.
anwhile, over at Bai Xiaosheng’s place.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were going through the latest online news.
More and more dia were shifting their narrative, suddenly becoming seekers and guardians of truth, eager to clear Bai Xiaosheng and condemn the despicable trio of Nick, while calling for the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the entire matter, restoring the truth in public opinion.
The online voices began to drastically change, with more people attacking the trio, and many more aggressively "exposing" Caroline’s involvent in the incident.
Bai Xiaosheng, on the other hand, was sohow marginalized and faded out.
"Bringing disaster upon herself, she brought it all on her own head!" Lin Weiwei watched with excitent, almost clapping in celebration.
"Now, I guess Caroline’s campaign is finished." Lei Ying murmured, "I suppose we’ve beco her archenemies too."
"She deserves it! Who told her to try and ruin us!" Lin Weiwei coldly laughed.
Bai Xiaosheng remained indifferent, leaning back against the sofa, neither happy nor sad, "It’s been exhausting these past few days, but now I can finally have so peace."
Lin Weiwei looked at him, blinked her eyes, and couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaosheng, did you plan everything from the beginning? Why didn’t you tell us and let us worry so much for nothing!"
This girl showed a bit of discontent and a bit of grievance.
"It was a bit much indeed, making us run around everywhere." Lei Ying also snorted coldly.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled wryly, "I told you from the start not to worry, that I had everything planned. Besides, could I have covered everything for you? It’s easier with Lei Ying, but Weiwei, wouldn’t you give away right off the bat? If I told only Lei Ying and not you, wouldn’t you bla even more? Your anxiety and anger made it less suspicious to the opposition, I needed your acting skills!"
With Bai Xiaosheng’s explanation, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying felt sowhat relieved.
"Let apologize, okay? I was wrong, big brother, big sister, forgive for my mistakes, alright?" Bai Xiaosheng pleaded shalessly.
Lei Ying couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Weiwei chuckled and generously said, "Alright, alright, we forgive you!"
