Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 416
The PR manager did not notice Keegan's darkened expression and continued, "In the wake of this incident, we've seen a lot of
netizens sympathizing with Stella. If it's revealed that Stella was the one who brought Sophia into the company, the focus will
shift to her being deceived and her mother bringing Sophia into their home. It will potentially divert attention away from Vinci
Rivera Group."
Sophia's face turned pale. She thought, 'He's planning to abandon me completely!'
Everyone looked at Keegan.
The fastest way to calm things down was to shift the public's attention.
If this incident had happened at any other time, it might have been manageable. The Vinci Rivera Group's PR team was known
for their expertise, and they could have easily mitigated any damage. They did not care much about Sophia's reputation, but they
could not let her involvement harm the company's image. Unfortunately, it happened today, and the incident was captured by
numerous media cameras and broadcasted live on the internet. The news spread like wildfire and could not be contained, even
with attempts to manipulate the search trends.
Although Sophia's image collapse was the main issue at hand, the public's anger was more directed toward her deception. And
more specifically, Albert raised Sophia, his illegitimate daughter, right under his wife's nose, allowing her to take what rightfully
belonged to his legitimate daughter.
Stella and Rainee were the biggest victims. If it was revealed that Stella had convinced Keegan to hire Sophia, it would generate
great sympathy for Stella and Rainee who had been deceived. The focus would then be on the Jewell family's scandal, and the
attention on the Vinci Rivera Group would fade away.
At that time, the Vinci Rivera Group could have released an ambiguous statement and easily distanced themselves from the
incident.
It was clear that everyone agreed with this solution.
Chandler looked up at Keegan and asked, "Keegan, what do you think?"
Keegan looked over before he calmly responded, "Do you honestly believe it's acceptable for a company of our caliber, one of
the top 500, to simply shift the blame onto a woman when things don't go according to plan?"

Everyone looked at each other upon hearing his response.
Chandler responded, "This matter concerns the interests of all shareholders. Do you have a better solution?"
Keegan pursed his lips and replied, "The Vinci Rivera Group has faced countless crises of all kinds over the past few decades.
We've always relied on our products to speak for themselves, and we've never heard of a crisis being solved by pushing a
woman to the forefront and leaving her to deal with it alone."
"Keegan, you better not say that. We're in the digital age now. The spread of information on the internet is lightning-fast. Bad
news travels fast. It took the Vinci Rivera Group decades to establish its brand reputation, but this incident could instantly
damage it."
"People are already discussing this matter everywhere. If we don't handle it promptly, the losses could be even more severe."
"Back when Mr. Kane Sr. was alive, the company also faced a similar incident, and Mrs. Kane Sr. even resigned from her
position in the company because of it. She only returned after several years. As her eldest granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Kane
should also follow her example and make sacrifices for the company," the PR manager advised.
The shareholders all expressed their agreement, and it was evident that they were in favor of the PR manager's proposal.
Sophia thought, 'These people really don't care about me at all.' As Keegan had mentioned earlier, the situation had escalated
too far and the damage to the Vinci Rivera Group had already been done. No one seemed to be interested in figuring out who
was responsible for the matter. Sophia realized that she was nothing more than a pawn that had been used and then discarded.
