Chapter 273
“Alright, alright, enough with the flattery. Let’s figure out our next steps,” Mira interjected, steering the conversation forward.
While the team was ironing out the details, a call came in from Trenton, the city closest to Aethelgard. They were experiencing the exact same issue.
The EcoRide operations there were also spearheaded and managed by Felix.
“Dammit! It’s almost the holidays. Who’s trying to screw us over?” the Vice President cursed.
“They’re taking advantage of the holiday lull to cause trouble,” the CFO added.
Mira glanced around the room. “See? We were right.
“If we don’t resolve this in Aethelgard, people all over the country will follow suit, even right here in Melvion City p>
Too many people were jealous of their success.
In the information age, news traveled fast. The slightest hiccup in Aethelgard would instantly be known nationwide.
Right now, everyone was watching how the three parties in Aethelgard handled the situation.
Party A was the instigator behind the public complaints. Party B was the local government. Party C was EcoRide, the target of the complaints.
If EcoRide was pushed out of Aethelgard or forced to compromise, the vultures would swoop in immediately.
When the Mercer men returned home from work, Mara Mercer gleefully yelled out to Lacey Quinn Mercer the moment they walked through the door, “Mom, EcoRide is in huge trouble in Aethelgard p>
Hmph. That’s what they got for acting so high and mighty, refusing acquisitions and share transfers.
The last time she had been dragged to the police station, they wouldn’t even sign a letter of forgiveness.
And when she and Fiona Quinn went to discuss a partnership, they couldn’t even get a meeting with the general manager.
Mara was overflowing with grievances, but she would rather die than voice those humiliating details aloud.
Now that they were being targeted with no one to help them, it served them right! And using Mira as their spokesperson? Completely useless.
“I hope they go bankrupt,” Mara muttered venomously.
As long as it involved Mira, she wanted it to fail.
“What did EcoRide ever do to you?” Ethan Mercer asked, unable to hold back when he saw Mara’s twisted expression.
Mara froze, caught off guard. She quickly lowered her head, feigning distress.
“What are you saying?” Lacey snapped. “Can’t your sister vent a little? Who’s more important, your sister or some stupid bike company?
“What kind of brother acts like this? Apologize to her right now p>
Ethan shot Lacey a cold look. “Keep spoiling her. Let’s see how that turns out for you p>
“Say that one more time! You’re getting completely out of line,” Adrian Mercer barked.
“Ethan, just drop it,” Damon Mercer said, finally looking up from the laptop he was using on the couch.
The noise was getting on t
nerves.
He rarely spoke up unless a situation directly involved him. Ethan turned and walked away, ignoring the rest of them.
Just then, the staff began bringing the food to the dining table.
Lacey pulled Mara along. “Come eat with me. Ignore him p>
Even though Lacey kept piling Mara’s favorite dishes onto her plate, Mara kept her head down, refusing to eat.
Adrian’s heart ached for her. “Mara, tell us what you want. Don’t look so sad. It breaks my heart p>
Ethan ate his meal in silence,

Mara finally looked up. “Dad, will you really agree to whatever I want p>
“Tell me. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll make it happen p>
