Chapter 779 The Mysterious Whistleblower
Casier Real Estate was thrust into the limelight due to the scandal surrounding the quality of their properties.
Several high-ranking individuals associated with Casier Real Estate were gathered in Branden’s office for a meeting. However, their proposed solutions were too conventional and couldn’t directly address the pressing issues at hand.
Branden erupted in fury, leaving everyone trembling in fear. Only Paxton secretly felt relieved, grateful that Catherine was present. Otherwise, given Branden’s temper, they might have all been dismissed by now.
Branden scanned the room with a cold gaze, and no one dared to meet his eyes. He angrily demanded, “Do we have any new proposals?”
Silence filled the room, and everyone’s hearts raced, but no one dared to speak up.
Suddenly, Paxton received a new message, which he promptly presented to Branden. “Mr. Duncan, you need to see the latest tweet.”
Upon hearing Paxton’s words, many people took out their phones to check the latest news, which had replaced the trending post on Twitter. [The truth behind the dangerous properties of Casier Real Estate: Is it an unscrupulous developer or the victim of intentional persecution of local conscientious developers?]
This headline immediately attracted attention, especially with major media outlets sharing the news. It quickly went viral on the internet. Its content was equally shocking. Earlier reports had claimed that during renovations, a floor collapse at a Casier Real Estate property led to workers being injured and hospitalized. Now, insiders revealed that the collapse was due to a homeowner tampering with load- bearing columns and weakening the floor. Combined with the workers’ non- compliant actions, it led to the accident. In an attempt to evade responsibility, the homeowner and the renovation company deliberately staged the incident, trying to bring down Casier Real Estate.
The whistleblower provided evidence at the end of the post, indicating that the situation was not straightforward, suggesting that unscrupulous companies were intentionally trying to discredit local conscientious developers.
The whole internet was in an uproar. Homebuyers who had a favorable view of Casier Real Estate came forward to support the company. In an instant, the public opinion online reversed, and Casier Real Estate’s stock price began to recover.
Paxton held up his phone and quietly asked Branden, “Boss, this doesn’t seem to be the work of our public relations department. Could it be…”
Their public relations department had not yet come up with an effective plan. The incident had happened suddenly, leaving no time to prepare such solid evidence.
Paxton instinctively locked his gaze on the nearby armchair, but in the next second, he dismissed his thought.
“It shouldn’t be Miss Swann. Miss Swann was gaming the whole time today. I never saw her put down her phone. Besides, we have just received the news about this incident, and even if Miss Swann wanted to help, she wouldn’t have been able to act so quickly,” analyzed Paxton.
After hearing Paxton’s analysis, Branden nodded slightly, finding some merit in his words. “Arrange for the public relations department to follow this line of thinking, and while at it, find out the people behind this. Don’t let a single one slip through!”
Identifying the perpetrators behind the scenes wasn’t difficult. At the moment, the most crucial task was to resolve the crisis. “Yes, Mr. Duncan, I’ll arrange it right away,” Paxton replied.
Catherine, who was lounging in the nearby armchair fully engrossed in her game, suddenly gave a mysterious smile upon hearing the conversation between the two men.
