The reporters were like hawks ready to eat down their prey as they swrned her with questions one after the other.
"How do you plan on solving the issue of the famous model Anna Lopez calling your jewelry trash"
"How can we be sure that your jewelry are authentic and not fake like Anna Lopez described"
"How do you expect the public to trust you again after such an incident had occured"
"Do you think all these problems arise because of your incompetence as a CEO to handle the business?"
"You have certainly won the case against Vanity Fair House but can you win the case of the lack of trust that has been built by your loyal customers?"
Amelia smiled and waited for them to ask their questions before she intervened.
"Thank you all for your questions. Today I'll be clarifying the news on our company that had been circulating in the country".
"Firstly, as you have just witnessed, Stone Jade Palace do not sell pirated works nor do we engage in breaking copyright laws. We are a honest company who are dedicated in serving our loyal customers the best product their money can buy"
"In my hand here is a document that shows the contractual terms of Anna Lopez. In view of this, she has broken the contractual agreement and we would be taking legal actions against her as a company.
"I would also be playing a video for you where she had been bribed by one of the former head of the company to samotage to company's name in a bid to accrue more benefits to himself"
With that she gestured to Ann and soon some men came came out and brought a large projector. The reporters moved their camera to the projector and they could all see as the video was playing, the agreement between Anna Lopez and the former head to sabotage the company on exchange for large benefits and international recognition.
"As you all have seen, the news was as a result of some unscrupulous individuals to bring a bad name to the Stone Jade Palace and we would not tolerate them. The former executive have already been fired and appropriate legal actions would be taken against him." She said as she brought out a jewelry.
"In my hand here is the "Lost in the Sun" jewelry. This is very affordable and is definitely worth your money. It has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that it is authentic. I want the public to decide for themsleves whether they would believe the truth that has been shown to them or cling to a lie that weaved by some unscrupulous individuals".
With that she entered into her ride and left the place. Ann flipped through her tab as she exclaimed in surprise " our stock prices are rapidly increasing ma and your interview with those reporters have made it to the top searches on the internet. You are now being referred to as the Boss Lady CEO".
Amelia smiled as she heard the results. Everything had gone according to her plan. Since she was not sure of the real person behind the problems that she had faced she decided to use the former head as the scapegoat and not release all the information she had gathered.
The person behind Alex must be someone very powerful so she had to act as if she was not aware of him and use Mr. Alex to draw him out.
"It seems you really didn't need me after all. I saw what you did out there. You could have handled the situation without my help" Vincent said.
"I could have but I didn't. I wanted to give you the chance to prove yourself and you did. Well done. Just focus on coming up with new designs for our next move. We should use this popularity to promote another product apart from the "Lost in the sun".

Nathaniel smiled as he watched the news. It turned out that this wife of his was very cable. She had concealed her intentions with the lawsuit and used the publicity to promote her product as well as clear a name. A worthy and tactical move.
"What is the status report of the Stone Jade Palace?" Nathaniel asked his secretary Justin.
"It…" Justin said and paused as he wore his glasses to verify what he had just seen.
"What is it?" Nathaniel asked seeing the surprised look on his face.
"Their stock prives have gone up by five times it's original value. According to the financial news market, their product is the most bought now in the country. Madam CEO had really outdone herself." Justin replied.
Nathaniel's smile widened even further. The higher the stock prices the better it would be for him when he acquires the company.
After a couple of while Edward barged into his office with a young man. Nathaniel narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two of them.
"You can excuse us Justin" he said dismissing him.
The man that came with Edward sat down on the chair in the office and crossed his leg. "Not even a word of welcome to your friend whom you haven't seen in a long while?"
"You people seem to have a thing with barging into my office these days without permission. It seems I have become soft" Nathaniel said coldly.
"It seems you have. Nathaniel Brooke. The cold hearted billionaire, married. Who would have thought that marriage was something that could even be said close to your name. You have really become soft indeed"
"Don't tell me you came all the way from Australia to tell me that David?"
"And you got married to someone that has a lot of drama too. I can't wait to meet my sister-in-law. Only few days of taking over a company and she has taken the stock price to five times it's value. Reminds me of someone in this room"
"Perfectly well said" Edward chipped in. "They are a match made in heaven. Both financially inclined and very good looking too"
"You have met her?" David asked Edward.
"Yes! I met her at one of my stores but she didn't answer me. She is as cold as this cold hearted prince here"
"If you too don't stop blabbing about my wife and I, then I would have you thrown out of here"
"Chill, we are only excited for you. We only hope that you would be able to heal from the pain of....."
"Don't say her name. Don't you dare." Nathaniel said as he got up. "You two are tiresome, I'm heading home".
