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 ident. 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


    exnation!"


    After she said that, there was amotion 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, anypany would not hesitate to push the me to another party whenever a


    major ident 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 ident? There was no


    forewarning before the copse 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 exined earlier that investigations are still


    undergoing. One day, the truth shall be uncovered.


    "If the investigations reveal that an internal problem caused the copse, then my husband Luke and I


    will resign from thepany 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 eximed 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 hisposure 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 ident 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 il.


    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 idents 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 copsed or crumbled. Tens of thousands of lives were saved...


    "Now, all of you use 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 forthose 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 nders 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...
