Taunting Johnny was like a breeze for Jack. However, he realized that even his hand that was holding onto the microphone was shaking as he met Vinson’s gaze.
Hence, Jack had no choice but to force himself to look away.
He finally regained his composure after averting his gaze.
Then, Jack gulped and forced himself to calm down.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke up without looking Vinson in the eye. “This isn’t fake news. But Mr. Nightshire, are you threatening me in front of the public? If anything were to happen to me after I leave, you will be the prime suspect.”
Johnny jumped to his feet. “You…”
“Johnny!” Vinson gave Johnny a look, and the latter sat back down.
Unfazed by Jack’s admonishment, Vinson replied flatly, “You’ve misunderstood me. I’m not that free to take care of such meticulous matters. I’m just wondering if you know how much money you’re going to be fined for spreading rumors about people’s death and making false statements about us creating videos to harm others.”
Jack gritted his teeth and said, “Well, I don’t know about that, so you should direct that question to a lawyer! From what I’ve heard, the patient was already in critical condition when he was admitted. It’s all your fault that
he’s on the verge of death. I thought you wanted to apologize and compensate your fellow consumers through this press conference, but it looks like I’m wrong. Mr. Nightshire, we are utterly disappointed with you and your company.”
The rest of the reporters, whom Jack paid to attend the press conference, chimed in.
“We will help you sue Nightshire Group if anything were to happen to you, Jack.”
“Mr. Nightshire, you must apologize to all the victims and compensate for their loss!”
“Jack, you have my full support! We will deal with the consequences together. But first, Mr. Nightshire, Nightshire Group must take full responsibility for everything that has happened.”
“Great. It’s just those few then.” After that, Vinson turned to face Rayson and asked, “Have you noted them down?”
Rayson nodded vigorously.
