Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 362

The next moment, Farley's phone rang with a call from the legal department at Murray Enterprises, telling him they had finished gathering evidence and retained the right to pursue legal action against him.

They also warned him to stay in line, or else he shouldn't blame them for not showing any mercy.

Farley was scared out of his wits.

Maisie, on the other hand, was unfazed. "What's there to be scared of? Lawyers are all talk, no action. Look at you, scared over nothing! Let's keep posting! They take one down; we post another."

It was a nice thought, but reality begged to differ—

For every post they made, another was taken down from the site.

Before they could even get compensation, Farley had already sunk five thousand dollars into this mess.

Maisie urged, "Keep posting!"

"Mom! I'm out of money..."

Maisie was speechless.

"How 'bout you lend me some?"

After pausing for a moment, she sighed. "You know, I've been thinking, and this just isn't working out. It feels like we're just flushing money down the drain if it gets taken down as soon as we put it up."

"So, what do we do?"

Maisie's eyes lit up with a cunning spark. "We open a bunch of accounts and keep posting without investing any more money."

"Would that even work?"

Without investment, there's no buzz.

Without buzz, there's no attention.

And without attention, how could they pressure them into paying up?

To the eyes of Murray Enterprises, Maisie and Farley's antics were barely a blip on their radar.

Thinking they could sway them with public opinion? Dream on!

"Mr. Sherwood, what should we do about their current actions?"

Hearing the noise from the entrance, she quickly signaled her son with her eyes: Be careful! Your father is furious!

Murray, unfazed, stepped forward and greeted, "Dad."

Naylor gave him and Beverley a cold glance. "Do you think I'm not busy enough? Choosing right before the shareholder's meeting to cause trouble?"

"Honey, please, calm down..." Beverley tried to soothe him with a gentle voice, "They're just two fools, neither smart nor significant enough to stir up any real trouble, not enough to affect the shareholder's meeting..."

Naylor scoffed, "A fly might not bite, but it sure annoys. I don't care how you do it, intimidation or bribery, just get this mess sorted out immediately. We're on the eve of the shareholder's meeting, and we can't afford any negative publicity!"

Finally, he turned to Murray, warning sternly, "Keep yourself in line during this time, got it?!"

"…Yeah."

After scolding them, Naylor hurried back to the corporation.

Murray, somewhat irritated, loosened his tie:

"I've said from the start we shouldn't have kept Millie's baby, but you wouldn't listen. Now look where we are. I'm done dealing with this mess; you sort it out!"
