Chapter 297 Cleaning House
Blood oozed from the female agent's nose and mouth. She was stunned and at a loss, seemingly never expecting anyone to dare strike her.
Gideon slapping Mandy could be explained to the public as a moment of urgency, but James's slap was outright bullying.
Was BH Pharmaceuticals not afraid of going out of business? They had a strong background and twenty million followers!
The female agent wiped the blood and glared at James. "You dare hit me?"
James slapped her again, making the female agent stagger back.
"
"Why not? Want more slap?" James took out a tissue to wipe his fingers. "Do you need me to move you again?"
At this moment, the entire place fell silent, everyone stared at James in shock, never expecting him to be so arrogant.
Although James's two slaps were satisfying, it was clear that BH Pharmaceuticals was likely to fall into public scrutiny.
Mandy had twenty million followers and the support of The Howard Family. If the incident were exposed, it would certainly attract a lot of attention and trouble.
BH Pharmaceuticals was about to launch the Bashful Flower product and definitely couldn't afford to leave a bad impression on the media and the internet.
Kelsey was also somewhat surprised by James's reaction but didn't interfere at all. She would support him in whatever he did.
At this moment, the originally furious Gideon calmed down and gently pulled James, "Forget it."
He supposed that James was a BH Pharmaceuticals employee who stood up for justice. "Calm down, or you might get in trouble."
"Mandy, I hit you, and I caused the trouble. If you want to sue or arrest someone, I'll take full responsibility," Gideon looked at the angry Mandy and her group. "This has nothing to do with BH Pharmaceuticals or this guy."
"You can't decide this," Mandy supported the agent and shouted, "Only I, Mandy, get to decide."
Having been in the industry for so many years, she had presented in countless films and drank with top figures in the entertainment circle, always being the center of attention.
Unexpectedly, she would be humiliated at BH Pharmaceuticals today. Naturally, she couldn't hold back her outburst. "You bastards, none of you will get away with this."
The female assistant, makeup artist, and others all stared coldly at James, convinced that he and Gideon were in big trouble this time.
James burt into laughter, he asked, "Really? None of us will get away? Fine, I won't leave here before your men come! Come on, call them here!"
James glanced at Mandy, noting her small face, slim waist, red hair, and seductive charm. Her long legs, which were straight and strong, were tightly wrapped in stockings.
She looked charming and seductive, but her expression was very arrogant.
Even when she wasn't speaking, her eyes and mouth were tilted, giving off an impression of looking down on everything.
James took a step forward, looking down on Mandy. "Where are your men? Are they afraid? Fine, then I'll start my turn!"
Mandy's pretty face darkened, "Nicole, call for help."
The agent, called Nicole, took out her phone, her eyes fierce as she searched for her backers in Rosewood City.
The glamorous makeup artist and others looked at James with disdain, as if having foreseen James' sad end.
"You're done for, our men are coming!" Nicole made a call, glaring at James through gritted teeth. "Son of bitch, you're doomed! Even God won't help you!"
James spoke calmly, "Come on, don't disappoint me!"
The call quickly connected, and Nicole immediately cried out, "Benjamin, where are you? I've been hit..."
She started sobbing, her voice choked with grievance, giving off a pitiful impression, completely different from her earlier shrewish demeanor.
After sending the address, Nicole hung up the phone, her face immediately turning vicious again."Just wait, the people I called will be here soon," Nicole said aggressively, "None of you can escape this!"
James wanted to say something, but Gideon gently pulled him, "Forget it, we can't let this escalate further."
The people Mandy called were Benjamin, an executive at Cool Entertainment, with extensive connections and a knack for distorting the truth.
Given today's incident, it seemed that both Gideon and James were in trouble, and BH Pharmaceuticals would face hefty compensation or be caught in a media storm.
At this moment, Kelsey walked over, "Mr. Diaz, sorry for this, I'll do my best to take full responsibility."
Gideon looked dejectedly at Kelsey, "No, it's all because of my bad temper."
James smiled faintly, "Gideon, don't worry, you won't be in trouble, and neither will BH Pharmaceuticals."
Gideon was slightly taken aback, surprised at James's confidence.
Hearing James's words, Mandy and Nicole sneered, finding it very amusing.
Nicole had already started calling the company's legal department, asking how to sue James and the others and how much compensation to demand.
At this moment, several cars sped over and stopped at the entrance.
Then, the car doors opened, and a dozen men and women in formal attire, adorned with jewelry, stepped out.
Leading the group were Benjamin and Sierra, their faces bruised and covered with foundation, but their demeanor still fierce.
"Which one hit my men? How dare you!" Benjamin shouted angrily, "Does BH Pharmaceuticals not want to stay in business?"
Although he was just a manager at Cool Entertainment, he had control over many media resources, making it easy to ruin an artist or a company.
Once, a top shampoo company, Metamorphosis, refused to let a female artist recommended by Benjamin be their spokesperson, which annoyed Benjamin.
He wrote an article and used his media resources to spread rumors that Metamorphosis 'might' cause cancer.
Overnight, Metamorphosis's sales plummeted, and there were mass returns.
Although they eventually won the lawsuit, Benjamin only issued a public apology and didn't have to go to jail or pay compensation.
Because it was only 'suspected' to cause cancer.
Metamorphosis missed the market and lost consumer confidence, leading to a decline, with losses amounting to billions of dollars.
Due to Benjamin's countless vices and powerful background, Gideon and the others were slightly worried once they saw his arrival.
"Benjamin, Sierra, that bastard, yes, right there! And Gideon, they hit us!" Nicole was overjoyed to see Benjamin and his wife, quickly running over to complain.
"Look at my face, it has been ruined. How can we attend the event in a few days?" She covered her face and started crying again.
"Fuck, you basrard! How dare you hit my friend? You have a death wish?" Benjamin looked at Gideon expressionlessly. "And BH Pharmaceuticals, this won't end without fourteen million dollars!"
He had already thought of the headline for tomorrow's news, claiming that Bashful Flower beauty cream contained disfiguring ingredients.
He only needed to post the article through social media, and whatever happened next, the Bashful Flower would encounter a great blow.
James smiled faintly, "You're right, this won't end without fourteen million dollars today."
Benjamin's voice deepened, "Who the hell is mimicking me?"
The next second, he locked eyes on James, stunned, then he fumed, "Is it you, bastard?"
Sierra's pretty face was also filled with anger. "You and that bitch harmed us, today we'll settle the score."
James ignored them, taking out his phone and dialing a number. "Come over and clean up the mess."
