Chapter 1261 Where Will That Leave Me?

"Hold up!"

Greg cut Darcy off from speaking.

"Why are you making such a big deal out of things, Ms. Quint?

"I'll tell you what. I'll talk to the staff member about the tiny mistake.

"This is to show that I'm taking the matter seriously," Greg said with a chuckle, his tone unhurried.

Enraged, Darcy blurted, "Are you still asleep, Mr. Nanas? The online community is attacking Lilyrose Commerce Guild over this.

"Over a hundred of our members' businesses are currently facing boycotts, and distributors are returning their stock.

"If we don't address the issue promptly, things will only get worse. The trade industry in Lilyrose will falter.

"Businesses will close down, people will lose jobs, they won't be able to afford their mortgages, and we can see an increase in social unrest.

"Are you going to be responsible for the chain reaction?"

The members clenched their fists in rage.

Darcy was not practicing scaremongering. The incident could very well happen.

The consequences were dire.

"Oh."

However, Greg responded to the outburst with an offhanded utterance.

"You're exaggerating, Ms. Quint. It's not a big deal. Besides, I promised to punish the staff who made the mistake. What more do you want?

"At worst, the Red Foundation will update the list after a while."

Greg expressed his displeasure.

He spoke as if Darcy was the one being unreasonable.

Darcy gritted her teeth and replied, "It'll be too late then. Mr. Nanas, do you understand the severity of the matter?" "Cut it out."

Greg said annoyedly. "We will address the issue internally, and that's the best the Red Foundation can do for you. "To be honest, we will never retract and republish the list, much less issue a statement.

"The rich, powerful, and famous trust in the Red Foundation. Yet, you expect us to come forward with our mistake. "Where will that put the Red Foundation?"

Greg's high and mighty tone nearly drove Darcy over the edge.

The issue could spell the end of Lilyrose's commerce. However, Greg believed the pride and reputation of the Red Foundation meant more than the livelihood of millions.

"Don't push me, Greg."

With nothing to lose, Darcy said curtly, "We have a record of the 300-million-dollar transaction.

"Since the Red Foundation won't do anything, I'll do the talking for you.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"I believe owning up to your mistake instead of waiting for someone to give the evidence and make you apologize will leave the Red Foundation's dignity intact."

"Oh."

Greg remained nonchalant. "But I read the comments online, and man, the public is brutal to Lilyrose Commerce Guild.

"Do you think anyone would believe you, Ms. Quint?"

Greg smirked with delight.

"You!"

Darcy was close to tears.

"Suit yourself, Ms. Quint. I'm going back to bed," Greg responded happily, ready to put down the phone.

Kaze took the phone from Darcy and brought it near his ear. "My wife has said what needed to be said, Greg, so I won't repeat it.

"You have one hour to republish the list and issue a public apology.

"Don't make me find you."
