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

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

If she told Catelyn the name, they would investigate the cause of death.Catelyn studied the woman's expression and noticed that she was out of words. Thus, she proceeded to assure the press, "The safety issues that had happened during the construction were indeed the responsibility of VSA Group, and we hereby extend our deepest regret and apologies, but we've already come to a decision: If the project doesn't meet its safety requirement, we'll tear it all down and build it all over again."We apologize for the inconvenience we've caused the public and are willing to compensate for the loss tenfold. VSA Group has a history of over a hundred years since it started in Franche, and the Sapphire City branch has faced a crisis with its reputation before due to the failings in management. We've reflected upon our failures, are dedicated to maintaining our moral commitment, and are determined to not repeat our mistakes."To make up for our mistakes, we promise that when the new units are r

However, it was evident Mister Zimmer had lost his shape. He had a beer belly, and when he smiled, she could see a layer of yellow taint on his teeth."Come, Miss Clark—a toast." Mister Zimmer raised his glass.Catelyn hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, Mister Zimmer. I've had an allergy lately, and the doctor says I can't consume alcohol.""It's just one glass. Are you really going to refuse me?" Mister Zimmer lowered his tone dangerously.She spotted a teapot on the table and immediately reached out to pour herself a cup of tea. "Mister Zimmer, please allow me to drink tea instead. I really can't drink alcohol; my face will be filled with red bumps and marks if I do. I can't look like that out here..."Her smile was blinding and alluring in a way that resembled a blooming flower.Mister Zimmer nodded, reluctant to take his eyes off Catelyn even as he did so.Catelyn gulped down two cups of tea in front of Mister Zimmer; the fragrance of the tea lingered on the tip of her tongue.

Catelyn was startled when she realized that it was David. "It's…you?"She almost thought he was Cedrick."What happened to you?" David's face under his golden framed spectacles seemed so gentle.Catelyn relied on her willpower to support her body, recalling that Cedrick did not like her getting too close to David. She then leaned against the wall and panted heavily. Her face was blushing as though she was drunk."I just drank a little too much, don't worry. I'll be fine in a bit…"David did not detect any scent of alcohol on her and thus believed her, and while he was skeptical of her answer, he did not expose her either. He merely said, "Let me send you home, or I should ask Cedrick to come pick you up?""He s—should be here soon.""Alright." David did not plan to leave her on her own, still. He would wait until Cedrick was here, and only then he would leave. At that moment, Maribel came by. She saw David standing next to her and felt a little shaken. However, she noticed tha
