A large number of reporters had gathered at the site at this point. And Matthewâs bouncers stopped them from entering the perimeter. With his helmet on, Matthew stood at the construction site looking worried.
âWhat should we do now, Mr. Wright?â Maria walked carefully in her high heels through the snow. She looked worriedly at Matthew and said, âItâs a problem with the preliminary engineering, but | canât reach the engineer responsible for that right now.
Weâve obviously been set up.â
Matthew replied with a frown, âTell the PR team to handle the news. Send me the surveillance video from around here, please.â
â| already asked them to find the video. But since the power was out last night, the cameras didnât capture anything,â Maria said.
âWhere are the people who are supposed to be guarding the site?â Matthew asked with a darkened face.
âThey didnât even come to work.â
âWho gave them the day off?â
Maria remained silent for a moment before responding, âItâs one of the engineers. But | canât contact him right now.â
The entire management team is absent. Some have resigned, while others have simply run away. So, | have no idea which was to blame. And the Carousel Group has no choice but to take responsibility for it. After all, we didnât tell the public what was wrong with the building when we took it over. The companyâs engineering department has been debating whether to solve the problem or build a new building for quite a while.
Unfortunately, the accident occurred before they could reach a final 535 Theyâre Coming for Me decision. What should | do?
Seeing that Maria appeared nervous and unsure of what to do, Matthew pulled his mind back to reality and signed, âDonât worry about it, Maria. Letâs start with the PR. Iâm sorry, but you need to return to headquarters for me.â
âAre you worried that the board will hold you accountable for it?â
âTheyâre definitely going to make a big deal out of it,â Matthew said. Yet, Maria couldnât hear him because the wind was so loud.
Then the snow stopped falling. At the same time, a crowd had gathered outside the barrier fence surrounding the construction site. The reporters, who had nothing better to do, interviewed them and asked about their reactions to the accident.
The crowd all took the moral high ground. As a result, almost everyone blamed the Carousel Group.
â| heard that Carousel Groupâs president is a fifteen-year-old boy. Thatâs insane! Can a fifteen-year-old really run a business?
This rich kid must view his job as a game, which explains why he doesnât care about other peopleâs lives.â
âExactly! How could their parents do something like this?â
âIsnât there any other talent in this company? Seriously, are his parents still alive?â
âWhat are you talking about? Why are you so mean to them?â Chelsea screamed. She had just arrived when she heard these hurtful words.
âWhat are you up to?â A man from the crowd asked her with a tight frown.
â| should be the one to ask you what you were up to!â Snarling, Chelsea was about to approach the man. 535 Theyâre Coming for Me Seeing that things might get out of control, Anthony rushed over to stop Chelsea and protect her before he could park her bike.
âExcuse me, please donât take her words seriously,â he said to the crowd.
âDo you not care about other peopleâs lives, girl? Why are you defending him? Is it because you think heâs attractive?â
Hearing that, Chelsea was becoming enraged. She rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was about to fight them. While covering her mouth, Anthony dragged her away from the crowd. He then took her to a store nearby.
Chelsea asked angrily after he broke free of his grip, âWhat the hell are you doing?!â
âCalm down! There are many people there. You canât even beat them all on your own.â Anthony patiently persuaded her, âAlso, do you know the CEO of the Carousel Group?â
Anthony then cast a subconscious glance at the boy in the barrier. He had just seen that teenager in the mall the day before.
However, he had not expected him to be the president of the Carousel Group and the projectâs leader. Then Anthony thought, He must be a rich boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth. And he must have had the best of everything since he was a child.
Frowning, Chelsea said to him, âWhy would | know him? Iâm just a nobody.â
âA nobody? Really? Then how did you get such an expensive necklace? Tell me, Chelsea, who are you?â
Chelsea remained silent. Then she was lost in thought, /n fact, / also wanted to ask myself who | am. Since Anna rescued me from that island years ago, Iâve relied on others, including Anna and Jasper. Iâve been living under othersâ roof, but none of them are related to me. Though my life has 535 Theyâre Coming for Me become much better after Anna rescues me, | would still dream about the life | had before leaving that island.
âIâm no one!â Chelsea collected her own thoughts and exclaimed before turning and walking away.
Anthony froze for a moment before rushing to her. âChelsea, wait for me! Iâm sorry! | shouldnât have been so nosy!â he said.
ae Not long after the news came out, Anna immediately left the hospital, purchased the earliest flight available, and flew to Cliatin with Tammy. They saw Matthew as soon as they walked into the hotel room. He still had a bandage on his arm and appeared much thinner than before.
âWhatâs going on?â Anna asked Matthew with concern, her voice trembling.
Matthew didnât expect Anna to come. He froze, then looked at Wayne sitting on the couch. Wayne frowned at Matthew, implying that it had nothing to do with him.
âWhy didnât you tell me that you were hurt! Mom and | would still be in the dark if | hadnât seen the news!â Tammy shouted, âWhatâs wrong with those people? Matthew, you werenât there when the accident happened. So why are they blaming you?â
âWhen exactly did you get hurt? Did you get hurt last week?â Anna asked.
Matthew felt a headache as he looked at his mom and his sister. âItâs okay, Iâm fine. The doctor said Iâll be fine in half a month,â
he explained.
Anna blinked away her tears and then gave Wayne a stern look. Then she questioned Wayne, âDid you come here the other day because Matthew was hurt? What were you thinking? Why didnât you tell me?â 535 Theyâre Coming for Me âi âYou really let me down, Dad!â Tammy exclaimed. She was so enraged that then she kept ignoring Wayne.
I didnât tell you because | didnât want you to worry about Matthew.
Why did you come without telling me? Youâre not helping me here, but youâre only causing me trouble, Wayne thought to himself as he was speechless.
After calming down, Anna asked about the project.
âWeâre discussing what we should do. There have been a lot of accidents recently, and one thing led to another. I think theyâre doing this because they want the land we bought,â Matthew said, âThere are few companies that can compete with us. A Group called Azul was the winning bidder, but they later abandoned their bid. Iâm unsure what they want or why they want to do it.â
â| believe Azul Group did it,â Wayne said, âIâll have Gabe look into what theyâve been up to lately.â
âDad, what are the shareholders saying about this?â Matthew asked thoughtfully.
Wayne responded, âIâm not sure about that. Whatâs the problem?â
âThese people look like they want to ruin the project, but | think theyâre coming for me.â Matthewâs gaze remained fixed on Wayne as he spoke as if he wanted to find some information in his eyes.
Having pondered for a while, Wayne said, âNo, youâre overthinking it. They didnât say anything about this. Itâs not a big enough deal, after all. If youâre still worried, Iâll go back and keep an eye on them. You only need to take care of things around here.â
âMom. Tammy, since youâre here, why donât you stay for a few days? Iâll have a guide to show you around.â Matthew suggested.
Tammy exclaimed, âWhat? Iâm not in the mood to go anywhere! Iâm staying here to look after you.â
Taken aback By what Tammy said, Wayne shook his head, thinking this was a bad idea. He felt that Tammy would not only fail to take care of Matthew but would cause him trouble.
While they were talking, Anna noticed that the door was slightly ajar. And she was pouring herself a cup of tea when she saw someone outside the door. Then Maria entered the room. She looked professional in a light beige suit.
âMaria, did you just stand in the doorway?â Anna asked.
âNo, | just got here. Anna, will you and Tammy stay here for a while? Do you want me to show you around town?â Maria asked with a smile.
Anna replied, âNo, thank you. By the way, thank you for looking after Matthew.â
âThatâs what Iâm supposed to do since heâs my boss,â Maria looked at Wayne and asked, âDo you want to go to the launch site for Matthew, Mr. Wright? Right now, the public relations department is handling the situation.â
