Chapter 838 Speculation About Herbscape Group

Seeing that the kids were already back in their room, Roxanne tidied up the kitchen and went upstairs to do some

work in the study.

Even though she had agreed to be the technical advisor of Herbscape Group, she did not know much about the

company.

Prior to the actual collaboration, Roxanne felt the need to get a rough overview of the company, so she searched

for information about Herbscape Group online.

To her surprise, the moment she typed in the search bar, she noticed some unusual keywords associated with

Herbscape Group.

Herbscape Group had been accused of tax evasion and selling illegal drugs.

Almost all associated searches were negative.

Roxanne was stunned and filled with suspicion.

She used to be in touch with various medicinal herbs companies in Horington when she was trying to resolve the

research institute’s issue of medicinal herbs supply, and Herbscape Group was one of them.

She remembered Herbscape Group’s reputation was quite good. Why are there so many negative news about

them?

Even if I didn’t have access to this information back then, Jack should have known.

If Herbscape Group was truly such a terrible company, why would Jack choose to work with them?

Roxanne frowned and clicked on the first search result that popped up.

It was an article published earlier on the same day.

The article read: We have received reports claiming that Herbscape Group is selling illegal drugs. Besides, the

company is also accused of tax evasion using multiple methods. The relevant government departments have

announced that they will carry out a thorough investigation soon.

There was a three-minute-long video in the link that clearly illustrated the evidence of Herbscape Group’s

involvement in the allegations.

Even if Herbscape Group were to refute the allegations, they had to first deny their involvement with solid evidence.

To do that would require time, and Roxanne knew that this would mean that Herbscape Group would not be able to

clear their name in the nearest time.

Roxanne’s heart sank when she read the news.

Although it was just a local news site in Horington, there were over ten thousand comments.

Roxanne clicked into the comment section.

To her dismay, the majority of the comments were spiteful and offensive speculation about Herbscape Group.

Someone wrote: Herbscape Group is such a huge company. How could you guys sell illegal drugs and betray our

trust?

Another commented: I heard that there was a leak of virus from their laboratory a few years ago. There has not

been a follow-up of that incident since. Who knows what kind of illegal drug Herbscape Group is developing…

Roxanne was at a loss for words.

The whole internet was abuzz with wayward speculation about Herbscape Group, and in the span of a single day,

the negative public opinion had caused the group’s share prices to plummet more than half.

The more Roxanne read the news, the heavier her heart felt.

The widespread accusations reminded her of the time she had been slandered.

She could not help but note the striking similarities of both circumstances.

Roxanne had only managed to solve the problem when Lucian had pressured the Hightowers and with Harvey’s

support.

If nothing was done to salvage the worsening public image of Herbscape Group, Roxanne reckoned it would be very

likely that they would get dragged down alongside Herbscape Group from their collaboration, and even the project

with Damaris Group might get affected as well.

The thought was disturbing, to say the least.

Roxanne could not seem to figure out who was trying to attack Herbscape Group, or whether the person was really

after Herbscape Group at all.
