Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 1057

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Having a Meeting_1 Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Having a Meeting_1 On Christmas Day, Purple Summers invited some friends to enjoy the island.

No one lived on the island, but it was far from desolate. The few rabbits that had been introduced multiplied like crazy without any natural predators, almost ruling over the entire island.

To prevent the vegetation from being destroyed and to safeguard the ecological balance, Zack Wallace spent a considerable amount of money to bring in foxes and owls to the island.

With creatures in the sky and on the ground, the island buzzed with life.

However, the rabbits bred so fast, one litter after another, that they could hardly be caught quickly enough.

Zack Wallace could only dispatch people regularly to hunt rabbits on the island. The captured rabbits were sent to a processing factory and then provided to impoverished areas to improve their diet, putting them to good use.

Zara Jameson and Jane McCain had played late into the night at the casino, and when they woke up the next day, they still felt the pounding music ringing in their ears.

Now, in a new environment, a tranquil place cut off from the outside world, feeding little animals and enjoying the island scenery felt incredibly refreshing.

Alexander Summers, as a good host, hired a chef to prepare a seafood feast. The day after Christmas, he arranged for everyone to go fishing and sightseeing, and the third day was for shopping in the city. The several days’ itinerary was full, ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Everything was going smoothly, and everyone was having fun, but on New Year’s Day, the news erupted with accusations against Summers Group, calling them ruthless and cold-blooded, likening them to executioners and vampires!

The news even broke that Oscar Smith’s wife was demanding 15 million in compensation from Summers Group!

Oscar Smith was the man who had committed suicide by jumping from the casino.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

In Pearlpoint City, Alexander held an emperor-like status; who would dare oppose him?

Had the media grown tired of living?

As everyone watched the news, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Today’s plan was for Alexander to take them out to see dolphins, but now… would they still go?

After speaking on the phone with Zack Wallace, Alexander said to Purple Summers, “I’ve arranged a tour guide to take you there. Be careful while playing, and don’t get too close to the water.”

“Are you going to the company?” Purple Summers asked, “Can I come with you?”

Alexander replied, “Don’t worry about what’s on the news. Your friends are rarely here, so keep them company first. Don’t let it dampen the mood.”

“The wind is too strong at sea, and I don’t want to go. Let them go by themselves,” said Purple Summers, turning to Jane McCain and the others, making eye signals, “You can go on your own too, right?”

“Ah… haha, yes, indeed,” Jane McCain squeezed out a stiff smile and nudged Zara, who was beside her, “I also think the wind at sea is pretty strong. It might be better to wander around the island and have fun catching rabbits.”

“Yes, that’s right,” Zara also nodded, “I think going out to sea is too much hassle. Let’s just have fun on the island.”

Ryan Wesley had no objections either.

Good, everyone was very understanding.

Purple Summers got her wish and went to Alexander’s company, a towering building about a hundred meters from the casino.

This was Purple Summers’s first formal appearance within the Group. Despite this, the employees of Summers Corporation were not at all unfamiliar with her; they stopped in their tracks, greeting her, “Good day, Mr. Summers, Mrs. Summers.”

Purple Summers nodded slightly, feeling a sense of novelty. For the first time in terms of her status, she realized she was not just Alexander’s wife but also the lady of Summers Group.

Upon entering the building, commissioners immediately delivered relevant documents. They took the elevator up, heading to an emergency internal meeting at the Group.

The main purpose of the meeting was to report the details of the incident to Alexander and discuss strategies for response.

“The investigation shows that Oscar Smith ran a small plastic processing factory with no significant background. The simultaneous outbreak of all these news stories is definitely orchestrated by someone.”

“15 million is just a sensational figure; if the other side was serious about claiming compensation, they would have sent a lawyer’s letter first. However, they did not do that and instead used the media to exaggerate the situation, the purpose of which is self-evident.”

“We must contact the editors-in-chief of major news websites as quickly as possible to gain their support in public opinion, preventing the situation from worsening…”
