Chapter 304
Chapter 304:
The crowd, now enlightened to the manipulation they had endured, was suddenly engulfed in an uproar, their emotions a mix of fury and betrayal.
“Sup Group’s deceit knows no bounds!”
Due to the intense rivalry between the two dominant groups, numerous onlookers had live-streamed the events online, eager to capitalize on the surge of public interest.
Consequently, the entire episode, including Abram’s disclosures, ignited a tremendous uproar across the internet.
This overt act of ruthless competition rapidly circulated through Inewood’s social and business circles, gaining widespread attention in less than a day.
The public sentiment, which Beal had meticulously worked to stabilize, disintegrated once more. Both Sup Group and the Marquez family found themselves subjected to intense public denunciation.
After ending yet another irate phone call from the Marquez family, Beal was so enraged that he nearly shattered his phone in his grasp.
Previously derisive of his brother’s ineptitude, Beal now found himself facing a substantial setback despite his personal intervention.
He finally recognized that Jacoby had been correct—Ashton was not only shrewd but also exceptionally elusive, presenting a formidable challenge.
After considerable deliberation, Beal resolved to implement a crisis management strategy. Jacoby, whom he had previously regarded as ineffective, proved to be unexpectedly valuable in this situation.
Beal made a public declaration that in response to the incident, the group had initiated an urgent investigation, uncovering that Jacoby harbored a personal vendetta against Skyline Group.
Exploiting his position, Jacoby had conspired to undermine Skyline Group’s reputation. Beal asserted that these actions were Jacoby’s alone and were entirely disconnected from Sup Group.

In a bid to placate public opinion, Beal sacrificed Jacoby’s role as the branch’s general manager, which somewhat alleviated the public outrage.
Nevertheless, the matter was far from resolved. The incident had occurred right at Skyline Group’s headquarters, and they were unlikely to let it pass without consequence.
To avoid interfering with Fraser’s plans, Beal swiftly contacted Skyline Group, specifically requesting Ashton’s personal presence for negotiations, hoping to swiftly address the public relations crisis.
Upon receiving this update, Rosalie promptly reached out to Ashton.
“Ashton, you need to hear me out. I suspect there’s something ulterior. You have no formal affiliation with Skyline Group, so why are they insisting on your representation in these negotiations? There’s definitely something suspicious.”
Moved by her concern, Ashton nonetheless declined to withdraw, stating, “Don’t worry, I’ll attend. After all, they are the ones initiating this concession.”
This was one factor, but Ashton was also keen on the opportunity to engage directly with Sup Group’s senior executives.
