Johan panicked a bit. He said, "Oh, it's you, Ms. Carter. Our company has already finalized this story, so we can't just retract it because you say so."
Rachel gritted her teeth in anger. She asked, If your story defames my company's products and is incorrect, shouldn't it be retracted? Do you want to persist in this mistake and bringing down Wealthwave Group?
"Think carefully before you answer. Our company feeds thousands of families. Do you understand the consequences of destroying their livelihoods?"
Rachel spoke righteously, and her words were harsh enough to make Johan afraid to look into her eyes. What made him even more uneasy was the implicit threat in her words.
Wealthwave Group was a big enterprise, and he couldn't imagine the consequences of offending such a company.
He was scared to respond, so he turned to Kyrie for help. He said, "Mr. Parker, what do you think?"
Kyrie motioned for the two bar girls to leave.
After they left, he frowned at Matthew. He asked Rachel, "Who is he?"
Rachel didn't hide anything and directly revealed Matthew's identity. She said, "He's my driver."
Kyrie waved his hand and said, "Make him leave. Once he's gone, we can talk."
Rachel gave in and said to Matthew, "Wait for me outside."
Matthew agreed. After that, he left the room and closed the door.
However, he didn't dare go far. He just stayed at the door; he was worried for Rachel's safety due to the obvious threat posed by the two men.
With only the two women left in the room, Kyrie smiled. He said, "Ms. Carter, I've heard that you're very pretty. To be honest, you're even more stunning than I imagined. Come and sit down. Let's talk while we eat."
Rachel remained standing. She asked, "Say it. Who sent you, and what do you want?"
Kyrie replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter who sent me. What's important is with a word from me, tomorrow's headline will be about Wealthwave Group's drug putting patients at risk of becoming comatose. Just this alone could spell doom for your company.
