Another World Mall-Chapter 594: Beginning
A man entered a hotel with a woman like any other affectionate couple. However, unlike normal people, they were actually tailed by sneaky paparazzi, taking a picture of them.
It looked harmless at first, but the change came the next day.
All of a sudden, the news spread like wildfire.
[William Heshton, Director of Releson Medical Center, was found to enter a hotel with a mysterious woman.]
The picture showed their intimacy, which made people think about what was actually going on. If this was a normal case, they wouldn’t have to bother with such news.
However, William Heshton already had two wives. With the sudden information about the ’potential’ third wife or a random person, the scandal would become big, especially due to the fact that they were working with Hana’s OpenSky Company.
The Heshton family and the Releson Medical Center were a hot topic in the past two days, which caused an even bigger flame the moment they heard about this.

"Is he showing off to us that after getting a project from the renowned OpenSky Company for the new beast soul, he is going to get a new wife?"
"Why doesn’t he put all his efforts into the success of this new beast soul for the people and this country?"
"Has the success gone straight to his head?"
"Don’t tell me. The OpenSky Company is going to accept this?"
The people were fighting on the Skynet. However, most of the comments were negative, questioning the OpenSky Company’s decision to choose Releson Medical Center to build their facilities.
In fact, people pointed at the Resshia family and their medical center. Unlike the Heshton family, they didn’t have a lot of scandals. Their name was much clearer and better than Releson Medical Center.
It was true that the Resshia family wasn’t as big as the Heshton family, but people believed them more than the Heshton family.
Obviously, the news had reached both CEO Damian Heshton and Hana.
Hana crossed her arms while tossing the paper that contained the news on the table. "Mr. Damian. Didn’t you say you would take care of the Heshton family’s reputation previously? Why did this suddenly happen two days after you assured me?"
Damian’s heart skipped a beat. He truly didn’t expect that such a situation would occur all of a sudden.
Damian hurriedly explained, "He has already been seeing this woman for quite some time. Don’t worry. We’ll take care of this."
Hana glared at him. Even though she was only a Tier 4 human, her gaze was more painful than even a Tier 6 human like him.
She was judging Damian on whether he was trustworthy or not for her to hand over all that money.
Just a single word from her could create a lot of problems within the Heshton family. Even if they could defend against Hana’s OpenSky Company, they couldn’t fight against the Skylark Conglomerate.
Damian smiled. "Don’t worry, Miss Hana. We’ll take care of this."
Hana squinted her eyes. "Why did such an article appear all of a sudden? Weren’t you supposed to be the number one family in the medical field? Don’t tell me… Someone is targeting you or me? Mr. Damian…"
Damian noticed that she was questioning his ability. If they were indeed powerful, the people wouldn’t really dare to go against them, especially with such a huge gap between them.
The fact that they dared to do it meant the Heshton family was actually just a paper tiger. They were strong on the outside, but the people who knew them more would realize they could make the Heshton family crumble easily.
If that was the case, Hana better bail out and sue the Heshton family for the damage. After all, it was the Heshton family’s responsibility to make the project progress smoothly in the contract.
If Hana used it to bail out, it wouldn’t count as her breaching the contract.
Damian waved his hand down, treating it as not a big deal. "Don’t worry, Miss Hana. They’re just jealous of us and don’t want us to succeed. However, we will take proper actions to ensure that the progress goes smoothly.
"Of course, I will warn my family once again to make sure they don’t make any mistakes for the time being.
"I’ll immediately fix this," Damian assured Hana, stopping her from moving away.
Hana squinted her eyes for a few seconds before saying, "Fine. Do it right this time."
"Yes. Don’t worry about it." Damian nodded. "In that case, I’ll take my leave and fix everything."
Without hesitation, Damian walked away. He immediately made a phone call.
"Sir Damian?"
"What’s wrong with that news? Xeso is affiliated with our Heshton family. Why on earth did your Xeso actually publish such an article? Are you trying to pick a fight against us?"
The person on the other side fell silent for a moment. "Mr. Damian. I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Let me check what’s going on and get back to you."
"I don’t care. Just take the news down!" Damian gritted his teeth. He actually noticed that the other party had dropped the formality as if showing that he wasn’t under him anymore.
"…" Damian just hung up while staring at his Skyphone, noticing what was actually going on.
He made several calls, which completely stunned him.
For some reason, in the last two days, he realized that thirty percent of his allies had actually turned back against him.
As Hana said, this might be an attack targeting either her or the Heshton family. After all, the Heshton family’s position would rise the moment the project succeeded.
However, something felt off. These people shouldn’t have had the courage to go against him, but for some reason, they were actually moving away from him without anyone realizing it.
It was as if there was another person pulling the string in the shadow. Why would they attack at this time? It felt like the enemy had been pushed into the corner by the project, and they desperately wanted to take them down to stop the Heshton family’s hegemony.
Little did he know, Hana was actually smiling as if she couldn’t care less about the scandal.
