Chapter 788 She Seemed Frail but Strong at the Press Conference

Bianca faced the reporters’ antagonistic questions by brushing away her sideburns and speaking in

a solemn voice.

"No words can express the guilt in my heart while faced with such a major tragedy. As the owner of

The Galleria, I admit that T Corporation cannot shirk our responsibility in this incident. However, we

cannot conclude if there is an element of sabotage in the accident. We have already set up a special

task force that will cooperate with the police on the investigations. I would advise the general public

not to worry. The investigative process shall be fully transparent, and we will give everyone a

satisfactory explanation!"

After she said that, there was a commotion among the reporters.

The reporters jostled among each other to be the first to ask questions. They bombarded Bianca

with all sorts of weird and tricky questions.

They lifted their microphones as high as they could and shouted their questions out loud. The scene

at the press conference was utterly chaotic. No one could hear what each other was saying.

In this day and age, any company would not hesitate to push the blame to another party whenever

a major accident happened. They were afraid of taking on responsibility.

The job of a reporter was to dig for the truth. Of course, they were also interested in any tasty

tidbits that they could report! "Everyone, please calm down. We'll take questions one by one!" Jason

said loudly into the microphone. "The reporter from PNBC, you may ask your question first. As for

the other reporters, please calm down. You will get your chance to ask questions!"

The reporter from PNBC stepped forward, pointed the microphone at Bianca, and asked directly,

"Ms. Rayne, do you really believe that there is an element of sabotage in this accident? There was

no forewarning before the collapse of The Galleria, and furthermore, the security measures in the

shopping mall have always been tight. Are you trying to divert public attention by lying?" Bianca

looked straight into the reporter's eyes. "I have explained earlier that investigations are still

undergoing. One day, the truth shall be uncovered.

"If the investigations reveal that an internal problem caused the collapse, then my husband Luke

and I will resign from the company and promise never to be involved in any business. You can take

my word for it! Every one of you here can be my witness! If we find out that someone has

sabotaged us, I will not forgive the perpetrator, and they shall pay for their crimes by blood. Either

way, there will be justice for all the victims of this tragedy!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise!

The reporters were whispering to each other. The higher management of T Corporation at the press

conference was staring at Bianca with a look of disbelief.

Mavis had the most incredulous expression among all of them. Her beautiful face was viciously

contorted. What right did that arrogant woman have to make a promise on Luke's behalf? If she

wanted to resign, she could have done it on her own!

Luke was an eminent figure in the business circle of A City. His departure from the business would

be like a shining pearl buried in the depths of the ocean. No one would be able to see his brilliance

anymore, and that would be a fatal blow to T Corporation!

The only person at the scene who could maintain his composure was Jason. The PR crisis this time

was especially serious, and the spokesperson could not make any excuses. He knew that Bianca

must have assessed the situation carefully before making that promise. If Bianca did not handle the

crisis well, there was no hope for T Corporation to restore its reputation.

The reporters’ incisive questions continued to pour in..

"Ms. Rayne, Mr. Luke Crawford has not made a public appearance since the accident happened. Are

you sure that you are speaking on his behalf?"

"Ms. Rayne, the tragic arson incident of Greenview Regalia from two years ago is still fresh in

everyone's minds. If we look at the two cases, can we conclude that T Corporation employs subpar

construction methods and materials? How would you convince the public that that is not the case?”

The incisive questions gushed forth like a geyser.

Everyone waited to see that seemingly delicate woman named Bianca Rayne sputter and flail.

They did not expect to see her heave her chest.

Her breathing became heavy, tears welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly slumped forward.

She took out a napkin to wipe her red and swollen eyes, then faced the camera and said, "I know

that T Corporation is facing a crisis of public confidence after all the accidents in the past two years,

but we believe that the evidence can speak for themselves.

"My husband, Luke Crawford, has insisted on using the best construction techniques and materials

ever since he took over the business. You might be caught up on the two incidents because of how

recent they were, but may I bring your attention to the Great Fort Chaney Earthquake that

happened six years ago? "In that tragedy, the casualties numbered in the hundred thousands.

Almost all the buildings in Fort Chaney were destroyed, but the office buildings, apartments, and

schools built by T Corporation remained almost unscathed. The worst damage that

our buildings suffered was some tilting, but none of them collapsed or crumbled. Tens of thousands

of lives were saved...

"Now, all of you accuse us that our buildings are subpar because of separate incidents without even

waiting for the results of the investigation. Even sentencing a criminal to death row requires

evidence, but all of you deliver the unfair verdict based on your imagination. Isn't that unfair to us?”

Everyone was reminded of the great tragedy that happened six years ago. Indeed, all the buildings

became ruins, except for those built by T Corporation. Some construction experts even said that it

was a miracle!

Bianca continued, "Moreover, you have attacked my husband's character unfairly. He fell to the mob

to save a child's life. Right now, he is still in the ICU after an overnight operation. He broke six ribs,

and his brain suffers from swelling and a concussion. His condition is still critical.

"I know that those who have lost their loved ones are waiting for an answer. I am a wife and a

mother of three children, and I can empathize with your agony... Please, give us some time. T

Corporation will surely give you a satisfactory answer!

"The press conference will end here. Before the police release the results of their investigation, T

Corporation will not hesitate to take legal action against anyone who spreads rumors and slanders

us!"

After the press conference, Bianca dragged her fatigued body to the ICU ward.

After she sat down on Luke's bed, the first thing she saw was a pair of dark and profound eyes...
