Chapter 62 Plant a Seed

• "If I withdraw, the Whitewood Family's reputation will be trashed. Are you sure you want me to drop it?"
• "What do you mean?" Oberon, who prized two things above all—his company and the Whitewood Family's reputation—quirked a brow.
• "Kelly has been spreading rumors online, slandering me with stories of a chaotic personal life, pregnancy, abortion, and other damaging lies. I'm a part of the Whitewood Family; I don't mind if my reputation is tarnished, but the family name will be dragged through the mud and made a target for gossip and ridicule. A public statement wouldn't stop the rumors. The only effective way to silence everyone is to use the law to defend our rights. This wouldn't only silence them but would also set a precedent, discouraging anyone from trying to defame the Whitewood Group in the future.
