Chapter 522 - First attack - Part 1 (1/2)

The post on social media spread like wildfire, reaching all the parts of the country in just a span of few hours. Everybody wanted to know the culprit behind the heinous and nefarious act. They wanted to know who was daring enough to hide behind the scenes and perform such brutal crimes just for their selfish gains.

The matter of organ harvesting had become such a trivial matter three years ago when one of the journalists had performed sting operations. However, bȧrėly they had revealed a few hospitals and doctors involves in such crimes that the channel stopped airing the news completely. The people behind it too had disappeared and just like the issue had been swept under the rugs.

Now that the matter had surfaced again, everyone was curious and anxious to find the truth and the culprit.

Ivy reached her office to speak to Max before their news aired. Though there were more than three hours before the said telecast, she still had to help her team with the last minute preparations. Except for her team who she and Noah both trusted, nobody in the agency knew much about the first news their news channel would broadcast. Except for the topic, they had no idea whatsoever about anything else, especially about the pieces of evidence Maggie had handed them.

They had been kept in the dark about the matter. But nobody dared to complain about it. There was some experienced staff who had more working knowledge than Ivy and her team. They too were oblivious to what would happen at eight in the evening. Everyone was waiting for the clock to strike eight so that the suspense would be unveiled.

As soon as Ivy entered her office, she saw people running around, preparing for their first telecast after the management changed. After Noah bought the news agency, they had changed the format of the agency completely, ȧssigning and creating new departments so that people could work with ease and comfort.

Though the people who were already adjusted to the old format complained at first, they soon got adjusted to the new format, especially when they realized how efficient and easy the new format was. Previously, all the departments were under one group, making work hectic for the person who managed them. He had to deal with all sorts of news, starting from politics, crimes, sports to entertainment himself.

Now that department heads would deal with the news based on the category it belonged to, reducing his work significantly, he had less trouble handling it. Although there was no new addition to the staff other than Ivy and her team, work became a lot less stressful and efficient. They were now prepared and were waiting for the time when they could start broadcasting news.

Ivy chatted with them for a few minutes before she went in search of Max and the others. It had been a long time since she had seen them. After Joshua had been hospitalized, she had not visited the agency even once, leaving it for Noah and Ronnie to handle. Though she knew what the plan was for she too had attended the meeting, she had only contacted Max on the phone.

Ivy entered the conference room where Max had asked all his teammates to ȧssembles. The meeting was yet to start, and Max was nowhere in sight. However, Kira, Sasha and Cedric were already in their seats and with four other people she was already familiar with. As soon as the group saw Ivy, they welcomed her with vigor.

”Gosh, Ivy. I thought you would ditch us even today.” Kira cried, reprimanding her slightly for her negligence. Ivy did not miss the look of relief on her face, and she wondered what had happened for her to behave this way.
