Once the announcement went public, and with Hunt Group's legal team swiftly sending cease-and-desist letters to "Goldmont City Financial Express" and several major reprint platforms, the media frenzy escalated almost instantly.
In a hotel suite, Angela read the announcement and snorted dismissively.
"Debunking it? All they can do is issue statements. We gambled right—Khloe's panicking. If Nick could appear even for a moment, that would be the best PR move. Even a short video would do. Why would Khloe have to be there, struggling alone?"
Barney frowned. "That may be true, but Khloe didn't just issue a statement—she went after Goldmont City Financial Express, and looks like she's prepared to take this all the way. Are you sure she doesn't have a backup plan? And what about that media outlet? Are you certain it's fully handled?"
Angela smiled confidently. "Relax. I've already taken care of their editor-in-chief—paid him well. He signed a confidentiality agreement and knows exactly what to say. Even if the Hunt Group sued him, he'd claim he only acted on an anonymous tip and wouldn't spill anything about us. Without direct evidence, they can't win."
Barney felt slightly reassured but still couldn't shake a lingering sense of unease.
What neither of them expected, however, was a shocking twist before eight that evening.
The official account of "Goldmont City Financial Express" suddenly posted a humiliating public apology.
