As he spoke, Brandon took out his phone and made a call.
"We're at W Marks. Come here and drive all the reporters outside away. Contact the media outlets. We're going to buy off the news."
Janet's eyes went as wide as saucers as she listened to what he said on the phone.
"Who did you call just now?" Janet asked in shock.
"Sean. He'll handle it," Brandon answered, putting his phone away.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Sean arrived.
Brandon walked out the door of W Marks Studio.
Janet could only watch them handle the situation from inside the studio.
"You don't want to go against the Larson Group, do you?" Sean stood in front of the group of reporters and spoke authoritatively. "Since you're taking our money, I'd better not hear about any of this on the news tomorrow."
Before Sean came here, he had gotten his hands on all the bank accounts of these reporters. After receiving the order from Brandon, he had transferred the money to their accounts.
When the journalists saw that a huge amount of money had been transferred into their accounts, they exchanged glances and knew what this was: a bribe.
"We'll keep our mouths shut, nor will we make any comments that'll affect the reputation of W Marks. We'll forget what happened today." The reporters promised.
Janet watched from the doorway and was dumbfounded. It turned out that cold hard cash saved the day.
"Money can really solve everything," she murmured as she watched the reporters disperse. To Brandon, she felt guilty. "How much did you give them? They all look so thrilled!"
