Just as he was trying all sorts of ways to get that recording back, the situation had already occurred.
South Grant had sent the recording to major media outlets before going to bed. For such matters, there was no need to do it himself; there were plenty of people eager to stir up news and seek attention.
South Grant collectively sent it to those big personalities on Weibo, using a small account that no one would trace back to.
At that time, South Grant was peacefully asleep, while Weibo exploded with this news in the dead of night.
This meant that some people were destined to have a sleepless night.
Quincy Irving and Hugo Lynch, upon knowing about the Weibo news, began contacting those marketing accounts, trying to buy out the news.
Since it was nighttime, few people knew about it.
But those marketing accounts refused.
No matter how much money they spent, those accounts refused to delete the Weibo posts.
Quincy Irving knew someone was orchestrating this from behind the scenes, offering more money than they did.
Quincy Irving was so furious that he started breaking things, watching the news’ popularity soar — his rage causing his blood pressure to spike.
At this moment, Quincy Irving’s phone rang, and he saw it was Henry Grant calling.
Quincy Irving answered, and Henry Grant’s voice came through the phone.
"Mr. Irving, I’ve seen the news."
Hearing Henry Grant speak, Quincy Irving felt like he’d found a savior.
One must know that Henry Grant had the best ways; although Miles Grant was resourceful, Henry Grant surpassed him.
Letting Henry Grant handle this matter guaranteed a solution.
"Henry, what should we do? The news is already out, and those media outlets must have been paid handsomely by the informant, now no one will delete the Weibo posts no matter how much I offer," Quincy Irving said anxiously, sweating profusely.
"I heard from my dad that the person with the recording is likely South Grant, my uncle’s son," Henry Grant said in a deep voice.
Quincy Irving was taken aback, "But Hugo Lynch’s agent, Jackson Zane, said it was a woman."
"I heard from my father that Jackson Zane saw Fiona Grant go in. But Fiona isn’t in Aethelgard today. South Grant has always lacked a masculine aura since childhood, appearing more delicate — eight times out of ten, it was him disguised as a woman to get in. My third uncle, Shawn Grant, also invested in a movie in the same genre as the one Hugo Lynch starred in, and South Grant plays the lead in it. This incident with Caleb Holt gave them an opportunity they wouldn’t miss to bring down Hugo Lynch."
Henry Grant had pieced together the general situation when the news broke.
Typically, paparazzi demand a high price for revealing something.
As long as the price is right, no scandal can’t be extinguished.
But Quincy Irving used all possible PR tactics, yet couldn’t suppress it.
This could only mean the recording was Shawn Grant’s doing, intended to bring Hugo Lynch down.
Now that South Grant has sided with Shawn Grant, this was likely Shawn Grant’s instruction to South Grant.
"Henry, what do we do? We’ve targeted your third uncle’s artist, Caleb Holt, this time. He won’t let us off the hook with this opportunity."
Dealing with Shawn Grant was directed by Henry Grant. Shawn Grant is now at Aetherium, trying to challenge Stellaris, but whether he’s up to it is the question.
Knowing he had invested significantly in Caleb Holt, Henry Grant instructed Quincy Irving to target Caleb Holt.
"Our misjudgment this time was not expecting South Grant to get evidence. We have to sacrifice someone this time."
