Chapter 578
Rong Dai's smile was radiant yet carried a chill, her gaze concealing thinly veiled sarcasm: "I'd rather not have any affairs that require me to seek your aid, sir!"
John was momentarily stunned, but by the time he recovered, Rong Dai had already left the little garden.
Boom!
May in Paris brought frequent showers, and as soon as Rong Dai and her two companions exited the Bertelen Family's ancient castle, a thunderous roar came from the sky and pea-sized raindrops came pouring down.
"Mrs. Huo, this rain is quite heavy. It would take some time to return to the hotel from here. Might we wait for it to let up a bit?" John asked, still hoping to change Rong Dai's mind despite his previous failure.
Rong Dai glanced at him but withdrew her gaze, watching the raindrops splashing at her feet. With a smile, she said, "Does sir John understand the meaning of 'fateful encounter'? The honored Bertelen Family and I have no such connection."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Chen arrived in a car.
Rong Dai and Song Xuechun sat in the back seat, and as John watched the car speed away, he couldn't help but sigh.
But for the Bertelen Family, this was hardly a loss worth noting.
Some, however, suffered gravely.
Back home, Zong Che had already received the materials and videos that Huo Mei Shu and a few others had polished after discussing with Lu Nian Zhi early that morning. During this period, Lu Nian Zhi had also become familiar with the inner workings of this circle.
The materials and videos were all compiled by Zong Che himself. After refining them with Huo Mei Shu and others, they published the content across Mulan Xiang's various public platforms.
This video stirred up a thousand ripples, immediately propelling Brocade Embroidery Workshop to the top of the trending charts!
Meanwhile in France, Alden resigned and left the country. The video exposed his contact number, and some underground experts quickly traced it back based on the leads provided by Mo Jinsen and others.
The data matched perfectly with what they had provided, but that wasn't the most damning evidence.
The photographer hired by Lan Qian had received a large sum of money but ignored Lan Qian's instructions to leave the country immediately. Instead, he squandered the money at a casino.
However, after causing a commotion when he lost everything, the casino's enforcers "disciplined" him, and he divulged information he shouldn't have.
With this, the evidence was complete - testimony, physical evidence, all accounted for.
How could the court possibly rule in favor of Bameng Media now? Their prospects of establishing a foothold were utterly dashed.
But for Brocade Embroidery Workshop, this news was a devastating blow!
The internet is never short of troublemakers. Before Zong Che could arrange for Mulan Xiang to release their statement, someone had already leaked the news through the FB social app.

#Clarification: Brocade Embroidery Workshop's Malicious Competition, Framing Rivals#
#We Owe Rong Dai and Mulan Xiang an Apology#
These three posts instantly became trending topics nationwide. The video evidence was clear, and with both testimony and physical evidence, the case was a slam dunk!
Upon seeing the news, Brocade Embroidery Workshop's PR team had already given up struggling.
How could they possibly fight this? They'd been beaten to a pulp!
Lying in her hotel bed, Xin Ziqing was bombarded with a barrage of overseas calls from Brocade Embroidery Workshop's top brass!
Xin Ziqing's expression was grim. This wasn't even her area of expertise - what could she do?
Rong Dai was just too damn lucky, always having a bunch of people to take the fall for her. Did they expect Xin Ziqing to murder her in broad daylight?
"In any case, I have nothing to do with this affair. I never gave such an order!"
"My assistant's phone went missing as soon as she arrived in Paris. Who knows if this whole thing was a self-orchestrated stunt?"
"Now that Alden has left the country, what evidence is there?"
"I might as well resign and take responsibility!"
Xin Ziqing was infuriated, her expression exceptionally gloomy.
Especially when she saw the TV reports on the lawsuits against Bameng Media and the ensuing issues, she wished she could reach through the screen and tear Alden's mouth to shreds!
