Chapter 270:
Candy…
Rupert fell silent.
Annabel was disappointed to see how his face fell.
His silence was loud enough. Annabel smiled bitterly. Why did she set herself up to be heartbroken? After all, she already knew the answer.
Candy was the love of Rupert’s life. How could he pick her, a temporary substitute, over Candy?
As the pain in her heart intensified, Annabel pointed at the table and said coldly, “You’d better hurry up and read these materials. We can’t afford the failure of this afternoon’s press conference. That said, I’ll go back to my desk p>
She turned around and left in haste.
The press conference began at exactly two o’clock in the afternoon as scheduled.
In the conference hall, the reporters were already present with their cameras and recording devices. They fought to get good positions near the stage so they wouldn’t miss a single word said today.
Sitting in the corner, Annabel quietly stared at the dazzling man seated on the stage.
Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Rupert stood up and cleared his throat. “Good day, everyone. Thanks for coming to today’s press conference p>
After a pause, he continued, “As you may have guessed, the main purpose of this press conference is to address the ongoing troubles involving a new jewelry collection released by our company. It’s no news that several complaints have been made that people were poisoned by the radioactive material allegedly present in the Ice and Fire jewelry series. We are very concerned about these complaints and are committed to getting to the root of this.
“After investigating for several days, we found that all the pieces of jewelry with this problem were produced in our branch factory in France. In contrast, the ones produced here have been certified perfect. Here is the test report p>

Rupert signaled to his assistant. Taking the hint, Finley pressed the Enter key on his laptop. The test report was projected on the wide screen a second later.
“This is the test report obtained from a reputable authority in the quality assurance field. It shows that the jewelry pieces produced here are flawless. You can wear them without worry p>
“Mr. Benton, now that it has been confirmed that the issue is coming from the branch factory in France, what do you plan to do about that?” a reporter fired the first question.
Rupert adjusted the microphone and replied coldly, “We have recalled all the defective products and destroyed them. I’ll personally investigate the root cause of the counterfeits. I will leave no stone unturned. Those behind this will be brought to book. As for the victims, we have already begun negotiating with them and reached agreements for compensation. I sincerely apologize to them p>
Rupert’s speech won warm applause.
An overzealous reporter further queried, “Mr. Benton, do you have any idea who is behind this p>
“Not yet, but I’m confident I will find that out once I travel down there. If it turns out that the issue came from within, I’ll deal with it accordingly,” Rupert said firmly.
