Both the ambulance and fire brigade arrived, blocking the entrance of the construction site. It was like Maribel predicted. Louis had already caught the news reporters and journalists' attention. Now that this had happened, all of them were rushing to take photos and write articles about them.All of the interview questions revolved around one matter. Louis just made his statement in the morning, and in the very same afternoon, the project collapsed. What would the company's official statement say about it?Jolene turned all the reporters away and gave the excuse that they were still investigating the matter. Catelyn did not appear in the media either. She was running through the construction site throughout. She was examining the blueprint, examining around the site, and incessantly asking the workers about the construction, the foundation, and whether or not it had collapsed before.The place was near the riverbank. Due to its unique geographical location, the soil was extra s
"I have thought about it. Now that Louis has the traction and fame, if we can get him over to become our ambassador, that will be great. Other than that, I also plan to add another ambassador as well."Eugene was curious and asked, "Who?""You know about this person too, Uncle. Plus, I could make it back to the Atherton family. It was all because of you and her. I will never forget about the people who have been kind to me."Eugene was excited, and he could already tell who that was. …As the heat around the incident continued, even if Hunter tried to lie low, he still received queries from many partnering companies. Some were asking to conclude the payments as soon as possible. Some were asking to withdraw from their collaboration. Hunter then decided to ghost all of them and ignore his phone. However, he was surprised to notice that Deluxe International did not ask anything about that. In fact, Windy had already called Catelyn straight away, and her demands were clear-c
"Then do you plan to hang around in the office forever?" Cedrick's tone was stern.Catelyn explained, "I had ordered food delivery, plus, the office is quite cozy. I have a big couch here. There's no problem for Jolene and me to stay here for a night! You better go home soon, don't let Ollie and Miles know about this…""Too late. Your son just called me and asked if something happened to you," Cedrick said straightforwardly. Catelyn's eyes widened. "Are children so up to date with web dramas?""Don't you compare them to normal children. That's it. I will think of ways to distract the reporters, I will arrive in twenty minutes," Cedrick replied briskly.…To cover up the news, the best way would be to create some other news that was even more shocking.The entertainment paparazzi were focusing much on VSA Group because of Louis. Cedrick intended to expose some other celebrities' private lives or some shocking news about them to distract them. As for the finance or social topic
Was it because he was feeling guilty and did not dare to pick up her phone call?When she was panicking, her phone rang.She thought it was from her cousin and pressed the answer button happily. She then realized it was not her cousin but was a completely strange number…However, the voice of the person was not unfamiliar! She had been to Ocean Path Residence to look for Catelyn and the voice who told her the address was this exact one! …In the car, Catelyn took out a bottle of water from the car compartment and gulped it empty. She then flipped open the documents that she did not finish going through. She was very focused. Even if the light was not bright enough, her eyes were still glittering. Cedrick forced himself to look away so as not to disturb her. When she finished organizing her train of thoughts and placed the documents back into her bag, he only said, "Do you know why Pentaland picked on you?"Catelyn shook her head, "Perhaps we were too high profile about t
"I was always skeptical toward Granny Atherton. Now that I think about it, she is pretty pitiful too. She is already so old, but someone is still trying to use the person she cares about most to lie to her…"Catelyn herself also felt that things did not add up at first, but now that she connected the dots with Quinn, everything made sense. She also felt overwhelmed by it. Other than that, she was concerned about Stella. Stella thought Quinn was sincere toward her and was delightfully planning to make amends for her. However, Quinn ditched Stella right away and went to be Miss Atherton instead. There was also something else that Catelyn could not understand. Quinn did not have any foundation, but how did she make it to become Miss Atherton?Even if someone within the Atherton family intended to get a fake girl to fool Granny Atherton, why would they choose Quinn?Cedrick did not expect Quinn to turn over a new leaf overnight and decided to get someone to do a thorough inves
After handling the more trivial tasks, Catelyn sent the only supplier an email to clarify the issue. Hunter had abandoned all responsibility and steered clear of the incident, and she could not pretend like she was unaware of the situation.This was the worst crisis to the reputation of her company since the formaldehyde incident.Before she could settle the issue with the press, she had to make sure that she did not lose the trust of her only supplier. She promised that if the situation was not resolved within two weeks, she was willing to pay an extra 10 percent of the liquidated damages.After sending the email, Catelyn randomly scrolled through the comments on social media and saw countless negative posts about VSA Group.The press had recorded the video of when the firemen came to the rescue and edited the video before uploading it online. They pointed a blaming finger at Catelyn, claiming that she was the architect of the company and yet hid when something happened, leaving h
Catelyn set up the alarm and glanced at Cedrick, only to notice that he was blushing. Shocked, she asked, "Cedrick, are you running a fever? Why do you look so flushed?"She kicked her shoes off and crawled onto the bed, placing her warm palm on his forehead. As she did, the faint scent of gardenias she emitted instantly assaulted his senses."I think you might have a fever. Hang on, I'll grab the thermometer," she mumbled and reached into the drawer under the nightstand.In the end, she frantically put on her sweater and jacket before fleeing from the bedroom. She reached up to touch her face and was relieved that she herself was not red in the face....Completely losing the urge to go back to sleep, Cedrick went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. By the time he went downstairs, Catelyn had just finished her sandwich and was changing her shoes by the porch with traces of milk on the corner of her mouth.Cedrick picked up the car keys. "I'll give you a lift.""It's fine," C
Just when Catelyn was about to step through the building entrance, a woman in ragged clothing darted out from an alley."You heartless enterprises! My daughter died from cancer because she lived in one of your formaldehyde-packed apartments, and you're now selling houses again with no guarantee that they're safe! Profiteers! I'll kill you..." She cursed while taking rotten eggs from her bag to throw at Catelyn.The reporters instantly scattered to snap photos of Catelyn and the woman.The scene of the victim throwing rotten eggs at a director of VSA Group would surely make the headlines!The eggs were tossed into the air and darted toward Catelyn, so she instinctively covered her face with her arms.Thunk!The appalling scent of rotten eggs filled the air, but Catelyn did not feel anything on her arm. She opened her eyes slightly, only to find a towering figure standing before her.Cedrick had run out and shielded Catelyn with both his arms open protectively, so the rotten eggs
