?Chapter 826:


    “Not for now,” Freya replied after a quick nce. “It’s unlikely to blow up or make it onto the trending list.”


    “Really?”


    “Yes.”


    Thanks to her special arrangements, no one dared to report on Kristian without Shaw Group’s explicit permission—especially on sensitive topics like this.


    Underneath that post,ments started piling up at an rming speed.


    “Who is this even about?”


    “It’s like the post said everything and nothing at the same time.”


    “Can someone kindly exin who the poster is referring to?”


    “How could you not know? It’s the legend of the business world. Who else could it be?”


    “Holy crap! I was wondering why his name couldn’t be typed out. So they got involved!”


    “Is this gossip even legit?”


    “My friend works at thepany—at its branch in Alerith, though. ording to him, the boss came by once with his assistant, but for months now, it’s only been the assistant handling everything. The boss just vanished.”


    “Sounds like this is the real deal.”


    As thements grew wilder, Freya’s concern deepened.


    Farrah, seasoned by her time in the entertainment world, paused to think before speaking. “Freya.”


    ?????? ???????? ? g??lnov?l??.???m


    “You should get Shaw Group’s PR team to step in.” Farrah watched thement count continue to climb and added, “Even if they don’t name Shaw Group or Kristian outright, some of the keywords could still go viral. Once that happens, curious people will start digging. Even if the news is suppressed, their curiosity alone will spark endless spection.”


    Freya wasn’t exactly experienced with these situations—her exposure to the entertainment scene had been minimal. She nodded at Farrah’s suggestion and said, “You’re right.”


    With her thoughts in a whirl, she ced a call to Gerard to take charge of the situation. After all, Gerard was far more equipped to handle this kind of thing than Kristian.


    “Hello, Ms. Briggs?” Gerard answered promptly.


    “I just sent you a screenshot. Take a look when you get a chance,” Freya said, her tone unusually firm. “If anything about Kristian ends up trending, make sure Shaw Group’s PR handles it immediately.”


    “Understood,” Gerard replied, calm andposed.


    Freya hung up, and Gerard began reviewing the situation. Unlike Freya, he wasn’t overly worried. Kristian was perfectly fine, and any wild rumors online could be handled without much effort.


    After ncing through thement section, he noticed that their boss’s name hadn’t shown up—and then immediately thought of Freya’s involvement.


    Gerard shot her a message: “Ms. Briggs, did you block Mr. Shaw’s name online?”


    Freya replied, “Yes.”


    Gerard wrote back, “Lift the block. It’ll make it easier to pursue legal action.”


    Freya was caught off guard.
