Chapter 1491

Liam could not help but think about the neighboring nations that had been growing increasingly restless lately, stirred up by a few Westernia countries over the past few years.A steely glint shone in his eyes as he spoke, and an icy aura seemed to radiate from him.On the other side of the call, Calum's voice took on a grave tone. "Sir, you can count on me. I've arranged for our people to slip into Drunham City in waves, and I've also reached out to our contacts in the Cole family.""Good job," Liam acknowledged with a nod, his voice a mix of relief and command.Hanging up, Liam let out a deep breath. His wedding meant everything to him. It was his and Celena's big day, the one they had been waiting for seven long years. Nothing could have gone wrong. Not that time.Liam's thoughts drifted to Celena and their daughter Jovie. His gaze softened, and a warm smile spread across his face.The following morning, Celena woke up early as she always did. The redness and marks on her chee

Chapter 1492

It took a moment for the Stone family reps and the company bigwigs to shake off their shock. A few of the execs, who were right in the thick of it, were all thumbs as they tried to scoop up the papers that had gone flying across the table."What's happening here? How did a safety accident even happen?""Good Lord! Shoddy materials? And five workers caught up in safety incidents, what's really going on?""Celena, how are you running this project? How come there's shoddy materials at the build site?""Now what? Five people in accidents, how much cash are we gonna have to shell out?""Are you just talking nonsense? Is money the issue right now? We're in this with Max Group, and if they catch wind we used cheap stuff, they could come after us!!""What do we do now?? If this gets out, isn't Stone Group toast?""Celena, you owe us some answers today. How are you running things? Why are there cheap materials at the construction site?"The room was electric as the Stone family's people

Cheryl's accusation was crystal clear: she was charging Celena with swapping out quality materials for cheap knockoffs to line her own pockets!Celena's eyes brimmed with panic, and she shook her head frantically in denial. "It's not true... I haven't... I haven't profited from this...""Hmph!"Yafe had zero patience for her excuses, cutting her off with a contemptuous snort. "Listen up, Celena. You're the one calling the shots on the Max Group project. This mess is on you, and you're going to fix it."Celena, I've kept a lid on this for now, but it won't stay quiet forever. You're the project lead, so you better hustle up a solution, and fast."And if this blows up and jeopardizes our deals with Max Group and Mr. Miller, are you ready to face the music?"The moment Yafe's words hung in the air, the Stone family's representatives and the company's top brass were all on edge. If that snafu tanked the deal with Max Group and Mr. Miller, the Stone Group stood to lose a fortune!For

The assistant, visibly shaken by Yafe's outburst but driven by the gravity of the situation, did not bother with an explanation. He dashed to the conference table, grabbed a cell phone, and flicked on the TV.The screen showed a live broadcast from Drunham City's local news, zooming in on several Stone Group construction sites.The camera panned over crowds of people at the sites, waving banners that screamed accusations, [Shoddy materials cause severe injuries to five], [The Stone Group's dirty dealings], [Profiting off workers' lives], [The Stone Group's vile business won't end well], and more.The area was swarming with workers, their families, and locals rallying for justice, all waving banners and chanting with fervor, throwing the place into total disarray.The TV crew was there, filming the whole commotion, and the reporter, Rosie, was on air, her voice charged with urgency, "Good evening. I'm Rosie, reporting live. We've learned from the victims' families here that these co

Meanwhile, the Stone Group was hit with a shutdown order, forcing all their factories and construction sites to halt and face an investigation.The controversy quickly boiled over, and soon, Drunham City's advocates for justice were outside the Stone Group's headquarters, brandishing massive protest signs.[Stone Group! Heartless profiteers! You've ignored the lives of your workers!!][Celena! Heartless profiteer! Ignoring the lives of workers, come out and face us!!][Celena! Show yourself!! Wicked woman!!][Stone Group, nothing but heartless profiteers! Ignoring the lives of workers, this company needs to get out of Drunham City!!][Yes!! Get out of Drunham City! Get out of Drunham City!!]...The entrance to the Stone Group was a scene of pandemonium, with workers and townspeople loudly demanding justice, their faces alight with passion. Some were so riled up they seemed ready to storm the Stone family's offices!Inside, the Stone family's security and staff were scrambling

"Right away!"His command was met with immediate action as his followers sprang into motion.Yafe's heart raced; he quickly retracted his hand and blurted out in a panic, "Hold on, hold on, Mr. Quigley! Why are you after me? I haven't broken any laws! Sure, I'm the Vice Chairman, and I oversee the company, but the safety incident that happened? That was on Celena's watch, not mine. If you're looking to pin this on someone, she's your mark!"Sweat drenched Yafe's back as he thrust Celena into the limelight. That was no small matter, it had even rattled the Deputy Chief of the State Safety Incident Department. The stakes were sky-high.Yafe dashed to Celena's side and, with a swift tug, pulled her forward, yelling, "Mr. Quigley, this is Celena! If you're here to take someone, she's your target. She's the head honcho of this whole project!"Cidda, hearing that, gestured for pause, and the two officers halted. He then turned a sharp eye on Celena, giving her a once-over before asking

Chapter 1497

"Are you clueless or just playing dumb? The accident happened because your team used faulty materials! That's why we're in this mess!"You're talking about betting your life? What about the five workers in the hospital, clinging to life? Have you seen them? Have you been to the accident site? If you had, could you still so casually say you'd put your life on the line?""The stakes were high—five lives hung in the balance. If they hadn't been saved, we'd be mourning in five different homes! Do you think a simple 'I didn't cut corners, I'd stake my life on it' is going to make this go away?" Cidda's words hit Celena like a ton of bricks, leaving her frozen in place.Ever since Yafe had slammed those papers onto Celena's desk, her mind had been spinning. She had only just heard about the accident and had not even had a chance to check out the scene before the news broke, and they were all called into that urgent meeting.Cidda caught Celena's bewildered look and snorted with a sneer,

Chapter 1498

The Stone Group was riding high on a wave of new deals, all thanks to their high-profile hook-ups with the Max Group and Mr. Miller. However, if those big shots walked away, it was like a house of cards. Everything else could come crashing down.If that happened, it was game over for the Stone Group, and the Stone family was history.Celena knew the stakes but could not help but try to clear her name. With her back against the wall, she pleaded with Cidda, "I swear, I checked out those materials myself. They're top-notch, no question. I've got all the paperwork to prove it—certificates, inspections, you name it, I can show you."She shook her head, bewildered, "It's too weird. Seven sites, all with safety issues on the same day? That can't be a fluke. Someone's got it in for me, trying to drag down the Stone Group. You've got to dig deep, Mr. Quigley. We need the truth, for my sake, for the company's."Celena would not stake her reputation on just anything, but those materials? She

Chapter 1499

Celena felt a knot tighten in her stomach as she realized she was the one they were after. Her face lost more color, and she could barely control the tremble in her body.Gripping her hands into tight fists, Celena took a deep breath to calm her nerves and managed to say, "Hello, I'm Celena."The inspector's icy stare finally landed on her, taking her in with a look that could freeze the sun. He seemed taken aback that the head of the construction unit involved in the recent accident was such a striking young woman.After a moment, he handed over the stack of documents to Celena and said in a steely voice, "Ms. Stone, good to meet you. We're the commissioners from Drunham City's Safety Inspection Department, working with the state's joint law enforcement on this one. We've been looking into the five safety incidents at your construction sites, and our investigators have been on the ground gathering evidence as soon as they got the word."After a thorough investigation, the evidence

Chapter 1500

Yafe's shock topped them all. It was not long ago that Celena had ratted him out to Reginald for his own little embezzlement scheme. Then, there she was, caught red-handed with her own stash of 150 thousand dollars.Yafe lost it right there and then, his face twisted in rage as he bore down on Celena, bellowing, "Celena, you've got some gall! Sneaking around with 150 thousand dollars? You jeopardized the company for a measly 150 grand??""Mr. Stone, Celena's heartlessness knows no bounds!" someone chimed in."Can you believe it? For a measly 150 thousand dollars, someone would do something so cruel. We're talking about five human beings, five lives!""Mr. Quigley, you've got to take this vile woman away and throw the book at her. She's despicable!""And you, inspector, thank you. If you hadn't cracked this case, we'd all still be clueless!""Celena, you sure had us fooled, huh? When you were talking about Mr. Yafe Stone... we actually thought you were one of the good ones.
