Chapter 55 Donter Pictures
The video’s comment section was flooded with hate and criticism instantly.
A professional came on Twitter to explain that scarlet swans should not be eaten even if it was bred. He further stated that Reina’s action was an abomination.
With the professional’s explanation, the Internet exploded with fiery discussions. Many people started cursing Reina. There were also many official Twitter users making their own interpretations of the situation.
They started explaining the legalities and the negative repercussions on her reputation.
Within a few hours, the news of Reina eating a scarlet swan got onto the top of the trending list.
Reina had chosen to keep her silence throughout the whole situation. Her phone number was also doxed, albeit the phone was switched off the entire time.
At this moment, Reina was sitting in a conference room, looking at her phone silently. She had a strong mental state of mind, as she was able to face such cyberbullying without batting an eyelash.
However, the people in the boardroom thought otherwise.
“Ms. Wilson, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for you. A few directors want to pull out their shares,” a middle-aged man said with a grim expression. He was one of Pollerton Real Estate’s board members.
“The shares are plummeting, and they will hit the bottom soon. When that time comes, it is over for Pollerton Real Estate,” another board member chimed in.
“Ms. Wilson, you have to give us an answer. Are you not going to contact public relations?”
Reina stood up and did not give an explanation. “There’s nothing we need to do. Meeting dismissed.”
After returning to her office, she rubbed her temples and chuckled bitterly. Should I really just let this matter continue like this?
Suddenly, Lana gave her a call. “What are you doing? Why did you go and eat a scarlet swan? Now, people have gotten something on you.”
Reina replied, “Donald told me to do so.”
Lana’s attitude immediately changed. “Oh, I see. Then, it should be all right.”
With that said, she hung up, leaving a dumbfounded Reina.
Why does Lana trust Donald so much? I don’t understand! Just why? I really can’t understand!
At this moment, Donald, the mastermind, was preparing to attend the contract-signing ceremony of Donter Pictures.
He received Wynter’s call that Donter Pictures planned to sign thirty-two artists at the ceremony occurring at 8 p.m. These artists had either graduated from Pollerton Film Academy or its counterpart, Pollerton Music Academy, and were very talented.
Donter Pictures had very high standards regarding choosing the artists. There were many layers of screening before they finalized the candidates of those thirty-two artists.
Who was not aware of Wynter’s fame?
There was no need to worry about the lack of funds and capabilities since the company was co-managed by the richest man in Pollerton, Charles.
Donald was looking at the negative news on his phone while he was on his way to the signing ceremony. His brows furrowed as he pondered, “Who was the one that told me that she wanted to sign with Donter Pictures?”
After pondering for a long moment, he finally recalled.
It was Irene and Yvette. Yvette was also Rebecca’s younger sister. Both of them were his high school classmates.
Donter Pictures owned a luxurious office building situated in the busy center of Pollerton. Although it was a newly incorporated company, no one dared to underestimate it as it was a joint venture of Charles and Wynter.
Before Donald even reached his destination, the entrance of Donter Pictures was already crowded with people.
There were more than ten Rolls-Royces and four limited-edition Koenigsegg cars parked right outside the entrance. Not far away, there were already barricades in place to prevent media from entering.
Charles was wearing a silver suit with slicked-back hair and holding an exquisite-looking cane. Although he was already seventy years old, he was still muscular and showed no signs of aging. There was a captivating and stunning woman beside him.
With hands clasped in front, her long black dress and exquisite makeup accentuated her elegance and sophistication.
