Ella Harris forced herself into her father's office despite her weak knees. And seeing how dark her father's face was right now made her hands tremble.
She could understand her father's anger, even though she was enraged by the current situation. She took out her anger on everyone involved, especially the Artist Manager, who couldn't look after their artists and got them into trouble.
"Father... The situation out there it's not as simple as we think. All the negative news out there seems to be deliberately released one time after another in a short span as if someone did it on purpose. Someone wants to attack H Entertainment!!" Ella's voice trembled as nameless anger filled her heart.
From R Mall to this place, Ella tried to get the company's IT and PR teams to press the news, but as best they could, none of their efforts worked. New news appears every minute and releases terrible deeds of their talent.
Paul Harris, glaring at his daughter sitting across from him, his hands clenched so hard until his knuckles turned white. He was fuming, but he held himself back from hurting his daughter.
He ignored her question. He said, "Ella Harris!! I can't believe you let things get this bad! How could you lead the company in the wrong direction and put the entire group on the verge of bankruptcy?" His voice resounded. His aura turned cold, and the room instantly felt frozen.
Ella felt heartbroken seeing her father get so mad at her. She couldn't utter a word, only opened her mouth a few times, but nothing but her breath left her lips. She was utterly speechless.
"Did you know? Because H Entertainment and all the subsidiaries of Harris Corp were affected, even our company's stock price touched the lowest point. The lowest ever since our company went public! Now, how can you solve all these problems you have caused?"
Ella Harris girths her teeth in annoyance. She really wanted to reply to her father's words but what he said was all true — she knew what was going on in her company and the news out there was all true.
This time she was really in doom! Someone could dig up all the information they were covering up so neatly and expose it to the media. Who? Who's the damn person?
Seeing his daughter say nothing, Paul Harris continued, "No wonder you achieved success so easily. You chose the wrong path, and I am so disappointed in you, Ella! You brought shame to our family. Now, how do you explain this to your grandpa?"
"Father, I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong here, but as I said before, someone wants to bring me down! We should find that person to settle this problem!" Her heart was filled with hatred, and she wanted to kill someone who tried to mess with her. She vowed to find that person!!
Paul Harris narrowed his eyes on Ella.
He said, "I don't care who you offended this time! What I care about right now is how you make the news out there to stop. Disappears! And restore the public's trust in Harris Corp. You know, almost all of our company is now receiving strong complaints from clients and our business partners!"
All this time, Paul had always believed in Ella. She always came up with brilliant ideas and strategies. That's why H Entertainment became a big company in a short time in her hands; however, he never knew that her approach turned out to be like a double-edged sword!
Now, Paul regretted giving Ella that trust! If he had known it would be like this, he would have preferred to pass H Entertainment to his Son, even though he was not born from his legal wife.
Ella felt hurt hearing her father's words, and from the look in his father's eyes, she realized there was no more trust. She's really in trouble.
She closed her eyes, trying to calm her chaotic thoughts. She had to think clearly and quickly! Nothing, not one problem, is unsolvable. There must be a way to fix all of this! Even if she has to take the road to hell!
After some time, Ella slowly opened her eyes and met her father's fierce gaze.
Even though she could see her father was still mad at her, Ella tried to calm her heart and mind before saying, "I've tried to delete all the news and get our PR to make the same announcement, but things haven't worked out the way I planned. But, Don't worry, Father, I'll take care of everything..."
"How long!?"
"2 days!!"
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Paul Harris took another long sigh. Two days too long! The fall in their share price will make them suffer even more. He had no other choice but to meet his father. He needed to discuss this problem. Harris Corp was in critical trouble!
...
As soon as she left his father's office, Ella took out her cell phone and made a call.
Through the second ring, the phone line is connected. She walked quickly towards the elevator. "Did you find out who did it?" her voice was low but icy.
The man on the other end said, "...Miss Harris, from now on, we can't work together anymore. I will return the money you paid me!!"
Beep!
The phone connection was suddenly cut off, leaving Ella surprised and shaken. Her hands trembled as she held her phone tightly, her forehead creasing as she tried to make sense of what had just happened.
"What the hell? Why did he hang up on me like that?" she snapped, trying to call the hacker. But the call wouldn't go through, and the man's number seemed to be inactive.
As she pondered her situation, Ella became more and more confused. The underworld contacts they had been relying on were disappearing one by one, and she couldn't understand why. It was all becoming too much to handle.
Suddenly, a name flashed through her mind, and Ella's face turned as white as paper.
"OH-MY-GOD!!" she exclaimed. "Only that person can do this!"
With that, Ella ran back to her father's office.
