"How on earth did you find out?"
Smollett and the other two racked their brains but couldn't figure out why so many corporate secrets had been uncovered by the Western Suburb Branch.
"I don't need to tell you that!"
"Then what do you want?"
"As I've already said, pay up the taxes you owe us, plus a penalty for late payment, and announce the outcome to the media, then we can call it even!"
Upon hearing this, all three frowned.
Paying the overdue taxes and even the penalty could be negotiated, but if they were to announce this to the media, it would be the equivalent of stabbing the seven major film companies in the back and making enemies of the entire Hollywood.
If they didn't do as Director David said, he would directly leak the information he held. Then, not only would the acquisition deal with Amazon collapse, but Migaomei (MGM) would likely face immediate bankruptcy.
What a dilemma!
