Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 107

“Ms. Wolfenden! You’re finally here!” A middle-aged man with a white hat ran over. This was the manager of the company’s workplace safety department, Wade Drummond. A side of the external frame had collapsed on the site, and the workers who stood on the frame had fallen as a consequence.

Wade had been scared, paralyzed in his office, and nearly peed his pants. Sadie had put exceptional emphasis on site safety, so the assessment in the workplace safety department was the strictest out of all departments.

Wade had been doing well these past two to three years. No one was expecting such a serious accident. He could already foresee how he would end up. “How many died, and how many are injured?” Sadie asked sternly. Wade answered shakily, “F-Five dead… and seven injured badly…” Sadie stumbled, looking appalled. Kayson’s eyes darkened at the answer as well— five innocent lives! He took a glance at the mangled bodies on the ground. They all looked to be in their 30s and 40s and were possibly the breadwinners at home. The Allens… They really had no regard for human life! The other construction workers looked grieved. They had been working, eating, and drinking together. No one had thought of losing five pals in one go. “Compensation!” shouted a middle-aged man who was burned from the sun with reddened eyes.

“Yes! Compensation! We’re not working if you don’t recompense!” yelled another worker. “Timothy’s daughter is still in high school, and he has no wife. He’s his daughter’s only support. What will happen to his daughter now that he’s gone?!” The tanned man seemed to be close to one of the deceased. “If you don’t recompense Timothy’s family, I’ll expose you! I’ll fight to the end with my life!” Sadie took in the emotional workers and hurried to assure them, “We’ll definitely bear the responsibilities and make reasonable compensation according to the law!” “Who are you? Can you call the shots?” asked the tanned middle-aged man. “I’m the GM of Wolfenden Corp., Sadie Wolfenden. Mister, do you mind telling me your name?”
