Chapter 192
Everyone’s expression changed, and they immediately opened Twitter.
After they read the whistleblower’s tweet, the members of Eligance’s PR Department were displeased. Meanwhile, Aiden’s face turned red from embarrassment.
The whistleblower had released four recordings and a few videos. Each of them had a time stamp.
The first recording was of Aiden and Reva planning to infiltrate MY Corporation and frame it for plagiarism.
In the recording, Aiden promised to help Reva secure a job at Perficient if she could ruin MY Corporation’s reputation. He even mentioned that an executive at Perficient had come up with. this plan.
The second recording was a conversation between Gary and Aiden. Gary promised that if Aiden could make this work, he would pass Perficient’s most expensive clothing line to Eligance. He would earn a revenue of at least fifty million dollars every year.
The third recording concerned Reva’s resignation from MY Corporation before she started work at Perficient.
There was also a forty–minute recording of Aiden and Gary discussing how to make MY Corporation go bankrupt.
The remaining videos showed Aiden and Gary’s meetups, as well as Aiden’s meetup with Reva. There was also a video of Reva going to work at Perficient two days after her resignation from MY Corporation.
Right after the tweet was posted, comments instantly erupted on Eligance’s page.
[How brilliant! You have a talent for making bogus accusations, Eligance! If this whistleblower never released the evidence, you would’ve fooled us completely!]
[Disgusting! This is truly eye–opening! How could they resort to such dirty tricks? I won’t buy clothes from Eligance and Perficient anymore. These two terrible brands should be shut down!

[I remember that Eligance went as far as sending MY Corporation a letter from their lawyer. They openly accused MY Corporation of plagiarism on Twitter and orchestrated an incident to fool us all. I even defended them. I really want to go back in time and slap myself.]
[I’m leaving. This is the kind of commercial warfare that I don’t understand. But I have to say that there’s no limit to what Eligance and Perficient will do!]
The Internet was against them, but Eligance and Perficient played dumb. None of them. stepped forth to clarify or explain anything.
However, Eligance’s share price dropped by three points. The company’s headquarters called Aiden and gave him three days to salvage the situation. Otherwise, he would have to resign.
Gary’s secretary told him about it while he was in a meeting. When he heard this, his expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, “Dismiss. We’ll continue at 10 a.m.
tomorrow!”
When Gary returned to his office, he slammed his phone on the desk and angrily said, “Block the news online and get Twitter to remove the trending topic. We can’t allow Mr. Remus to learn about this.”
His secretary looked troubled. “Mr. Whitman, it’s spreading really fast. I don’t think we can keep Mr. Remus in the dark…”
As soon as she said that, Gary’s phone rang.
When he saw that it was a call from Neil’s secretary, Curtis, his face turned pale. It took him some time to gather his courage to answer the call.
“Mr. Harrell…”
Curtis sounded a little serious. “Mr. Whitman, Mr. Remus would like to meet you at Remus Corporation.”
Gary went weak in the knees. He trembled as he said, “I… I’ll be there right away.”
Half an hour later, Gary fearfully walked into Neil’s office.
When he saw Neil’s cold gaze, his face turned pale, and his b*dy shook.
“M–Mr. Remus…”
Neil put down the documents in his hand and spoke with a cold expression, “Mr. Whitman, please explain the tweet on Twitter.”
Gary almost knelt down. “Mr. Remus, I’m sorry. I promise that something like this won’t happen again.”
“So, is the tweet true?”
“Yes.”
Neil sneered. “Great. You’re fired, Mr. Whitman.”
“Mr. Remus, please give me another chance. I promise not to do it again!”
“Failures don’t deserve a second chance.”
“Mr. Remus, please… I apologize for my mistake…”
Neil was getting impatient, so he gave Curtis a call.
“Get security in here.”
In the end, the security guards threw Gary out of Remus Corporation.
