Annoyed, she was about to call Ashton and demand that the articles be removed. But before she could, her phone rang—it was Ashton himself.
"Ms. Bently, the Wilson Group of Companies is prepared to invest another $100 million to keep the article trending," Ashton informed her.
Chantelle raised an eyebrow. "What exactly is the Wilson Group Of Companies trying to push so aggressively?" she asked.
Given the Wilsons' wealth and influence, they could easily buy a media company instead of relying on her.
"It's the topic about Mr. Wilson courting you, Ms. Bently…" Ashton briefly clarified.
Chantelle stared at her screen, speechless.
Was this man serious? First, he shamelessly declared his intentions to the media, and now he wanted to push the story even further? What was he thinking?
"That's not all," Ashton added. "He's requested that the topic stay at the top of the search rankings for at least the next three days."
