Chapter 813 Pretending to Be Weak and Pitiful to Gain Sympathy?
Finnegan's face fell, his eyes cold as he said, "Are you questioning me? What ulterior motive could I have? I'm doing this for the Montagu Group! The public's already been misled by this video. Clarifying now is useless; they only believe what they see. We need to issue a sincere apology, show enough goodwill to make the public feel our attitude, and suppress the heat. Afterward, we can post the results of a thorough investigation. That's the effective solution!"
His emotions were running high as he turned to Matthew, "Matthew, what do you think?"
"Well said."
Matthew looked at Finnegan, a faint smile curling his thin lips. He raised his hand and said, "Since you want Linda to come over, call her now and see if she'll come."
His demeanor showed no sign of tension, his expression unchanged.
The trending topic continued to ferment, shareholders were arguing incessantly, yet he, the person involved, seemed completely unaffected.
Finnegan couldn't quite grasp what Matthew was thinking at that moment!
Though Matthew was young, he was deeply shrewd. His ability to quietly take over the Montagu Group demonstrated his skill and tactics!
But in this situation, if he refused to apologize, how else could it be resolved?
The public was outraged, stock prices were plummeting, and if any rival companies took advantage of this, the Montagu Group would be in serious jeopardy!
Finnegan glanced at his assistant and said, "Contact Linda."
"Yes."
Finnegan then turned to Matthew, speaking gently, "Matthew, I have great confidence in your abilities. Once this storm passes, you can return and lead the Montagu Group to new heights. I believe you can do it."
Matthew replied, "You've thought of a solution, but didn't discuss it with Linda beforehand?"
Finnegan paused and said, "I came up with it on the spot."
"Really?"
Matthew's attitude remained indifferent, his fingers playing with a pen, looking completely at ease.
At that moment, Michael walked in and handed him his phone.
Matthew picked it up and saw several missed calls, all from Mary.
Instantly, his eyes softened, a hint of a smile appearing.
He dialed back immediately.
The call connected.
Matthew asked, "What's so urgent?"
As he spoke, everyone turned to look at him. The man who had just been calm and aloof now wore a gentle smile, talking on the phone as if he were outside the storm.
The expressions of those around him were complex.
Matthew ignored them, chatting with Mary.
Mary's soft voice came through, "I saw the trending topic. Are you okay?"
Matthew replied quietly, "Not really. They're saying awful things, and it bothers me."
Everyone was speechless.
What was he doing?
Playing the victim to gain sympathy?
Michael remained expressionless, glancing at the shareholders, inwardly scoffing at their shock over such a minor scene.
Mary said, "Then don't read those comments. How do you plan to handle this?"
Matthew asked, "But when I came to the company, everyone looked at me strangely, Mary. I feel isolated, like they're bullying me."
