Chapter 264:
Snapping her fingers, Annabel finally said, “We need to find out how the radioactive material was used in the production. Even though the French factory is just a branch, I’m sure it wasn’t a piece of cake for the culprit to start something shady there. The way I see it, this is an insider’s handiwork. One of our employees betrayed us p>
“I’ll have someone look into it right away.” Rupert agreed, narrowing his eyes.
After pursing her lips for a while, Annabel spoke up. “You know what? I want to go to France p>
This was a matter of urgency and importance. She felt that if they were to get answers soon enough, she had to go there.
Anyone who could go against Benton Group in such a big way was definitely not a small player.
As the person in charge of the Ice and Fire project, it was Annabel’s duty to find out the truth as soon as possible.
“I’ll go with you,” Rupert said without hesitation.
“Isn’t your presence needed here?” Annabel asked, looking at him suspiciously.
“Yes, but not as much as it is needed over in France. I have to be there. Not only will my presence communicate to the public that Benton Group attaches great importance to the matter, but it will also send a warning to whosoever is behind this p>
Rupert didn’t blink once as he stared at Annabel. “Finley can hold the reins for me while I’m away p>
All that he mentioned was important, but not as important as his need to protect Annabel. He didn’t want her to go there alone.
France was so far away. He felt that Annabel wouldn’t be safe there alone, especially since she wasn’t even familiar with the place.
Annabel didn’t bother dissuading him since he had already made up his mind. Besides, she could use some help over there; the whole issue might get sorted out faster.

“Now, let’s address the other elephant in the room.” Annabel took a seat and said, “We have to recall all the Ice and Fire jewelry produced by the French factory and negotiate with the affected parties for compensation. We must satisfy their requests so their complaints won’t cause any more damage to Benton Group p>
The recent scandal had caused Benton Group’s stock price to fall for several days in a row. It was best to count and recoup the losses before it was too late.
Rupert already had that in mind.
“I’ll assign someone to do that p>
After a pause, he looked at Finley and ordered, “Organize a press conference for this afternoon p>
“Yes, sir.” Finley left to do as he was told.
“Since we are done here, I’ll return to my desk p>
Halfway to the door, Annabel halted. “Should I book flight tickets for tomorrow p>
“There will be no need for that. We’ll fly there in my private jet,” Rupert responded, shaking his head.
A private jet? Fine.
