Scott's body was drenched in cold sweat.
On the other end of the phone, Marc said, "I don't care what you do. You must reduce the impact of this matter to the minimum in the shortest possible time! Make sure all the videos and news are deleted, and don't get the entire Stardust Corporation involved again. Do you hear me? Otherwise, don't come begging me to save you when the Huttons come!"
With that, Marc hung up.
Scott sat on the ground in a daze, panic written all over his face.
He initially thought that his method was extremely lethal to Lucas and would meet Marc's requirements as soon as possible. So he had used all his resources to spread this matter like wildfire.
But he didn't expect his plan to bootlick Marc by getting the matter done fast to backfire and result in the opposite effect.
Moreover, public opinion was spiraling out of control, and even if he wanted to withdraw his plan now, it would be extremely difficult.
