Chapter 320
Upon hearing Yenny’s question, silence fell over the room.
Then, they all looked at him in astonishment.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?” Yenny sensed something amiss from their expressions.
“Well… Mr. Pembroke, don’t you know?” It was the bald man again who asked first.
One had to know that he was the only one who was closer to Yenny in the past.
Since they were close, it fell upon him to speak up in such situations.
The others didn’t dare to say a word, even though they had been discussing the authenticity of the news just moments ago.
But now that the person involved in the news had arrived, they didn’t dare utter a single peep.
Yenny’s voice grew lower as he said, “What should I know? Speak directly and stop beating around the bush.”
It was evident that he was struggling to control his emotions.
“Well… today, some rumors about you suddenly surfaced online…” Despite having some interaction with Yenny in the past, the bald man was still fearful of him.
When Yenny spoke to someone, he always maintained a gentle and polite demeanor, wearing a smile on his face.
However, if someone ever managed to displease him, he would transform into a viper and strike at their throat without hesitation.
“Rumors?” Yenny’s dark eyes narrowed.
“Yes, um… I thought you already knew, Mr. Pembroke. After all, the rumors have been spreading like wildfire. The bald man avoided making eye contact with Yenny.
Upon hearing this, Yenny immediately turned his head and glanced at his assistant standing behind him.
The assistant’s head immediately dropped low.
“So, you know what happened?” Yenny stared at him intensely.
“It’s just baseless rumors, and I have already instructed the company’s PR department to handle it,” the assistant’s voice trembled.
It was worth noting that no one in the company dared to inform Yenny about this matter throughout the day.
Yet, these fearless clients had dared to speak up now.
“So, what exactly are these rumors?” Yenny’s smile seemed to deepen.
However, the assistant’s body trembled even more violently after seeing Yenny’s expression.
“It’s just some malicious speculations from some online social websites. It’s not worth your time, Mr. Pembroke,” the assistant said while trembling in fear.
Seeing him in this state, Yenny didn’t bother to continue pressing him for answers.
Instead, he took out his phone.
Although the Pembroke Group had already addressed the previous rumors through their public relations efforts, the

netizens had learned their lesson from past incidents when they spectated and discussed other scandals.
They knew that there would always be attempts to do damage control.
Therefore, most people had already taken screenshots early on.
If one were to search carefully, one would still be able to find some traces.
Yenny was a clever person, and it only took him a moment to find the rumored content.
After reading through the information, a faint smile appeared on Yenny’s lips.
The assistant couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim in alarm upon seeing his reaction.
This was definitely a sign before an outburst of rage.
Their CEO was a little different from others.
When others got angry, their faces turned unpleasant, and the atmosphere became tense and unbearable.
But their CEO seemed to look happier the angrier he got.
His current appearance was undoubtedly a display of disaster–level furious anger!
“So, all the commotion earlier was about this?” Yenny glanced up at the people in the private room.
Their faces immediately turned pale and filled with fear.
They had thought that with such a major incident, Yenny would definitely not show up here tonight.
Therefore, they freely discussed the matter without restraint.
After all, sometimes men liked gossip more than women.
“Mr. Pembroke, you’ve misunderstood. We were just discussing some business matters.
“We also know that the things that are said online are groundless.
“There were even rumors going around recently that I have over a dozen illegitimate children.
“And how could we possibly take these things to heart?” The bald man sure had the closest relationship with Yenny.
He was quick–witted.
In just a few words, he defended himself and the others.
“If you all believe these things are just rumors, then why did you think I wouldn’t show up here tonight?” Yenny wasn’t easily
fooled.
Actually, under normal circumstances, if the bald man had brushed it off with a laugh, Yenny might have let it go.
After all, in his eyes, these people were just toys he used to pass the time.

They were not worth his time and effort.
But today, he felt that these toys could retire..
“No, it’s not that. We were just… The bald man hadn’t expected Yenny to take it so seriously.
He was thinking of finding a reasonable excuse to smooth things over.
Yenny spoke again.
“I initially thought everyone here had clear minds, but unfortunately, I was mistaken.
“And the thing I dislike the most is dealing with foolish people.
“From now on, your cooperation with Pembroke Group will end here.”
After saying that, Yenny turned around and left.
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s faces turned pale.
Especially the bald man, who stood up and prepared to chase after him.
“Mr. Pembroke, Mr. Pembroke, please don’t stoop down to our level. We beg you, show mercy and spare us!” The bald man’s voice was tinged with urgency.
But Yenny didn’t even pause his footsteps.
He strode out of the hotel.
“It’s over, it’s completely over!” Watching Yenny’s fading figure, the bald man’s legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground.
One had to know that 90% of his current company’s business came from Pembroke Group.
If Yenny canceled the cooperation with him, only bankruptcy awaited him.
“Don’t panic just yet. I think there might still be a way to turn this around,” the others followed suit and came outside.
“What other way is there? I warned you all before not to discuss this matter.
“But you didn’t listen, and now look what’s happened. We’ve brought calamity upon ourselves.
“Do you realize that without Pembroke Group, we’ll be left with nothing to rely on?” The bald man scolded and glared angrily at the people before him.
“We didn’t expect him to show up today. Besides, he’s never taken previous rumors seriously.”
“Why is he so serious this time? From my perspective, those rumors might actually be true,” the other people retorted.
“Even if they are true, how does that help us recover our losses? No, I need to go and apologize to Mr. Pembroke immediately!”
As the bald man spoke, he got up.
He did not care if the rumors were true or not.
He only cared about his own business!
