The uproar on the internet didn’t die down, instead, it spread like fire after being fed more fuel.

At first, only Jeremy’s personal account and the retail store’s page were flooded with insults. Then the wind shifted.

Someone, whether deliberately or pretending it was an “accident”, leaked the fact that Jeremy wasn’t just the owner of a small shop or an employee at a retail store, but an intern at Spielberg Group, a corporate giant whose name alone was enough to rile up the masses.

The narrative immediately changed.

“If it’s just that small shop, a boycott won’t do much. But Spielberg Group? That would actually hurt.”

“How can a company that big accept someone like this? Was HR asleep during recruitment?”

“He’s just an intern and already bullying employees, imagine if he became an executive.”

Tag after tag appeared. The name Spielberg Group was dragged into the vortex, mentioned again and again in accusatory comments. People began demanding more than just clarification.

“He should be

Jeremy frowned slightly. He lifted his head and swept his gaze around. Not a single face looked remorseful.On the contrary, several people near the building’s entrance stared back at him with cold, unfriendly expressions, heavy with judgment. Some whispered without bothering to lower their voices, others deliberately held his gaze, as if to show they weren’t afraid.Then someone stepped half a pace forward.“Hey,” he said in a challenging tone, lips curling into a mocking smirk. “What are you staring at? Gonna scold me too? Like you did to your employee?”A few people snickered softly. The laughter wasn’t genuinely amused, but it was enough to ignite the tension.“Or are you gonna make me beg for mercy too?” the man continued, clearly enjoying the attention. “Relax, Boss. Here, you’re just an intern employee like the rest of us.”The sarcasm blatantly mimicked the phrases and tone circulating online.Jeremy looked at him without blinking.In his previous life, he had learned to restr

Thomas fell silent for quite a while on the other end of the line. Not out of hesitation, but because he knew his son all too well.Jeremy was not the type to react impulsively. He was someone who could endure being hurt again and again, swallowing small losses one by one, all to ensure that his opponent would completely collapse in the end. A man willing to pay a high price as long as the final outcome was absolute.Thomas let out a quiet sigh.“I know how you operate,” he finally said, unconsciously giving a little ground. After his son’s last act of rebellion, he had begun to soften his stance, learning to listen to and respect his children’s opinions.“You’re not someone who attacks without calculation. But listen to me, don’t go so far that you end up damaging your own name.”His tone was not patronizing, more like the warning of a father who had seen far too many rises and falls.“Reputation can be repaired,” he continued, “but it will never return to one hundred percent.

Lucas listened to Mark’s report on the other end of the call, his jaw tightening. The muscles in his cheek twitched, a clear sign he was holding back boiling anger.“So he’s being that blatant now,” he muttered lowly, almost hissing.He stood by the window of his office, looking down at the city from above, his fingers tapping impatiently against the glass. The image of Jeremy’s calm face, always seeming to be one step ahead, flashed through his mind again.Lucas scoffed.“That composure won’t last. Does he really think a little pressure will make me back down?” He clicked his tongue. “Just watch. I’ll make sure he learns what real destruction looks like.”On the other end, Mark swallowed hard. He didn’t dare comment, only asking carefully, “Sir… what should I do next?”A thin smile curved Lucas’s lips, certainly not a friendly one.“Move the plan forward,” he said curtly.The call ended without waiting for a reply.… Night fell completely.The busiest hours were over. People had ret

Jeremy didn’t leave right away. He remained where he was, one hand slipped into his trouser pocket, his posture relaxed, too relaxed for someone who had just been verbally “attacked” in public.“Mark,” he called softly.The tone made Mark turn around on reflex. There was a split-second pause before he responded, as if weighing whether pretending not to hear would be safer.Jeremy looked at him straight on, not sharp, not intimidating. That was precisely what made the atmosphere feel heavier.“I’m just curious,” Jeremy said lightly, almost as if making casual conversation. “What exactly did Lucas offer you that made you this persistent?”The name dropped between them without warning.Mark’s expression changed instantly. It wasn’t dramatic, but it was obvious to anyone paying attention. His eyes widened for a fraction of a second, his jaw tightened, his breath caught, before he hurriedly masked it with a feigned look of confusion.“I don’t understand what you mean, Boss,” he said quickl

Daniel was the first to stand, closing the thin folder he had been carrying from the start.“In that case, I’ll contact you again as soon as the meeting schedule with the potential buyer is set,” he said with a professional smile.“Alright,” Jeremy replied briefly, not forgetting to thank him.He escorted Daniel to the front of the shop. After the man got into his car and drove away, Jeremy turned and walked back inside. The store was still relatively calm, with only a few customers browsing the shelves.He approached Simon, who was still faithfully standing behind the cashier counter. Mark was there as well.“As you both know, I intend to sell this shop. So it will be changing ownership soon.”Simon didn’t react excessively. He simply gave a small nod, his expression steady. Mark, on the other hand, wore a visibly unsettled look.“Whether the system will remain the same or change, I don’t know yet,” Jeremy continued. “That will depend on the new owner. You should be prepared for the
