A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Everyone gawked at that influencer. Who the heck is this? Did the guy just insult Vinson in public? Even
if Soir Coffee is shut down in the end because of its problematic ingredients, it still won’t shake Nightshire
Group. Vinson’s gonna get back at his enemies by then. This guy’s dead!
Everyone turned their heads to the top brass on the stage.
The management was surprised, but they collected themselves quickly. “The CEO isn’t hiding from this
matter. He’s just collecting some evidence. Once he’s done, we’ll tell everyone about the truth. No
secrets.”
Before anyone could ask him anything, the top brass put the mic down and left the hall.
Right after he left, the influencer became more brazen. “Evidence my foot. A group of patrons can’t be
wrong. What? Does he think someone’s out there to set him up? I bet he’ll only show up once someone’s
dead.”
Everyone else started whispering among themselves.
“Do you think Mr. Nightshire is hiding because he’s guilty?”
“I don’t think so. Cafés can’t be set up that easily. They have to go through a lot of quality inspection
trials. One of the most important ones is food safety. Maybe Mr. Nightshire does have evidence on his
hand.”
“Or maybe they’re trying to come up with some PR stunt. Someone will probably be the scapegoat. I
mean, not the first time a company has shifted the blame onto an intern.”
“If even the industry leader does this, it’s gonna ruin the consumers’ goodwill.”
“Quiet, will you? It’s just an hour. We’ll know the truth then.”
The influencer scoffed at the media. It’s useless. It’ll still be the same thing tomorrow. I just know that guy
is hiding from us. He won’t show up even after a week.
Part of these uninvited guests came because the victims paid them to, while some came willingly, like
this influencer over here. He came to get some traffic and to protect the consumers’ rights.
He styled himself as the protector of justice, so he didn’t take a single cent from the consumers.
Since there was still time, he opened up his account and realized he got a hundred thousand new
followers over the last few minutes.
The big screen on Grandview Hotel’s front door was live-streaming the press release, so everyone saw
the little ruckus that happened earlier.
One of the protesters shouted, “He’s running away! Vinson’s running away! He won’t even show up! That
proves that the café’s food is dangerous!”
“We demand an apology!”
“What is he waiting for? He’ll have to apologize sooner or later. Why’d he called this press release? To
shift the blame?”
“What a shameless guy he is!”
The crowd was getting more agitated every passing moment. Some even wanted to barge in there and
pummel Vinson.
This matter went from trending to viral on the Internet. More and more people were protesting online,
asking Vinson to come out and apologize.
