Chapter 1173 True Colors Of Jacob
Jacob was dumbfounded as it was. After the harsh scolding from Arielle, he could not believe what was happening.
He only regained his senses when his assistant alerted him.
However, once he snapped out of it, he blew his top off. Jacob had totally forgotten that he was at the press conference. “Bloody b*tch! Who the hell do you think you are talking to! I did not get the location of the press conference mixed up!”
The whole place went silent immediately after he spoke.
The online viewers were quick to respond.
What is this? Do all subordinates talk to their superior in that manner nowadays?
This is not right. Who in the world calls their Chairman “a bloody b*tch”? What kind of life is my goddess going through at the company?
This Jacob got the location of the press conference wrong. Yet, he still invited my goddess up the stage. When she didn’t appear, she was criticized by the anti-fans. If she hadn’t made the video call, I would have also thought that she was acting like a diva.
Does everyone recall the incident involving Oliver? Back then, Jacob seemed to be involved too. But for some reason, Oliver was being accused of paying people to smear Arielle’s name, and Jacob got away with it. It looks like this Jacob is the most “powerful” of all!
They should fire Jacob! What’s the point of keeping him around? Sack him!
Excuse me. Let me remind you. Arielle’s company is a listed company, and Jacob has shares in it too. If the board of directors doesn’t vote and get rid of Jacob, nobody can just fire him like that.
As the comment section started to berate Jacob, those who were present at the press conference started reacting as well.
“What’s going on? Don’t tell me this is all about internal strife between the top management and the reporters are used as pawns?”
“Jacob! Did you intentionally give us the wrong address so that we end up attacking Madam Chairman?”
“Jacob! Explain yourself right now!”
All of a sudden, Jacob was vilified by the reporters. It was only then he realized he was still at the press conference.
Now that his true colors had been exposed in front of so many people, he became nervous and did not know what to do.
Thankfully, his assistant was quick-witted. With a smile, he said, “Hi, everyone. I apologize for the mistake. Mr. Campbell has been exhausted because of work. It isn’t his intention to cause such an incident. Mr. Campbell has always been keeping a close watch on the bionic arm project and is more eager than anyone else for the press conference to be a success…”
Unfortunately, the reporters were not buying the story. They bombarded Jacob with questions.
“Mr. Campbell, if you can get the location of the press conference wrong, are there any other things you are able to do right?”
“Mr. Campbell, please answer my question directly. Did you deliberately give us the wrong address?”
“Do you have a problem with Ms. Moore?”
“Are you trying to form cliques and ostracize Madam Chairman because of her tender age?”
Jacob was so enraged that his face had turned bright red.
“Nonsense! You are all talking nonsense! Shut up, all of you!”
The more unreasonable Jacob became, the more unhappy the reporters were at him.
In the end, the few directors who were on Jacob’s side got up to clear the mess. They arranged for transport to send the reporters to the new venue that Arielle had mentioned.
Jacob was not in the mood to attend the press conference at the other venue. All he wanted was to get rid of Arielle.
His assistant came over to advise him, “Mr. Campbell, the situation is not to your advantage right now. If you refuse to attend the press conference, it will only prove to the reporters that they are right about you. They will believe that you have deliberately gotten the venue wrong and embarrass Arielle.”
