I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 410

The homeowners who had bought the Martin Group's properties and ordinary netizens all demanded compensation. Some even deliberately caused panic and speculation.

[I bought a house from the Martin Group. There are cracks on my balcony. Could it be related to the substandard steel bars used?]

[We demand an explanation from Martin Group.]

[Martin Group is making money unscrupulously. This is so unfair to us common people. We hope the relevant departments can intervene.]

...

[Martin Group should be inspected.]

The voices were diverse.

It was already dark, but Benjamin was still sitting in the office, smoking.

He hadn't left this office since he came back in the afternoon.

He remained silent, even when Curtis brought dinner for him, he didn't move. By now, it was eight o'clock. Curtis knocked on the door and entered.

"Mr. Martin, it's getting late. Shall I take you home?" he said.

Benjamin didn't answer immediately. He finished his cigarette first before saying, "Go to the construction site."

"Now?"

"Yes."

Curtis agreed and went with Benjamin to the construction site.

Benjamin's arrival didn't startle anyone. He and Curtis wandered around the site for a while, and he suddenly said, "All possible accidents caused by mistakes have been ruled out. That leaves us with accidents that were premeditated. Since they could mix non-compliant steel bars, why didn't they just mix them in the tallest building?"

The affected floor was on the edge, intended for a mall, so it wasn't tall.

If they wanted to make a big fuss and put Martin Group in trouble, why didn't they start with the tall building?

"Is it possible they didn't have the opportunity to do it?"

Curtis analyzed.

Benjamin didn't speak. He glanced at the collapsed area and left with Curtis.

On the way back to the apartment, he asked Curtis, "How did the supplier respond?"

"The supplier has been cooperating with Martin Group for many years, and the relationship has always been good. They absolutely wouldn't do such a thing. But following Mrs. Martin's request, I've cut a section of the steel bars involved in the accident to check the batch number tomorrow."

"She contacted you?"

Benjamin was surprised.

Curtis replied, "Yes, she did. Shortly after you guys left this afternoon, she called and asked me to do so."

That was after Benjamin had taken Harper back to the apartment and called Curtis.

Benjamin didn't say anything.

Back at the apartment, Harper hadn't slept yet.

Annie was there.

Seeing Benjamin return, Annie got up. "I have to go."

Harper didn't stop her. Annie nodded to Benjamin as a greeting. As she passed by, Benjamin said, "Postpone the cooperation with the Jones family, until this matter is resolved."

"Okay, I'll convey the message," Annie said.

"Thank you!" Benjamin.
