I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 433

"Mr. Martin, you wouldn't deny the fact that my cousin had an accident while working at the Martin Group's construction site, would you? Though he has passed away, we don't seek compensation. All we ask is for you to acknowledge that the accident was indeed due to the company's error, and we will consider the matter settled."

Benjamin stared at Mark. "Are you asking the Martin Group to admit fault before a thorough investigation? As far as I know, your family is not well-off, and you have children. Are you sure you don't want compensation?"

"We yearn for my husband's return, not financial gain. Can you fulfill that wish? Despite our poverty, we will not trade his death." The deceased's wife was very excited.

Benjamin glanced at them indifferently. "Are you already very sure that it was an accident but not a plot?"

"Of course, it was an accident resulting from the substandard materials of the Martin Group. Isn't that the truth?"

Mark clutched the cell phone tightly, a grip he'd maintained since Benjamin came in and sat down. Although his words were very firm, the sweat on his forehead betrayed his inner nervousness.

Benjamin smiled calmly, "Were you involved in the entire project?"

"My cousin told me," Mark replied, yet flustered.

Benjamin sneered, "According to your cousin's employment information, he has only been participating in this project for more than half a month."

Not all the workers engaged in the construction hailed from the Martin Group. Only the department heads were affiliated with the company. Additionally, other workers were sourced from specialized contractors and construction teams. The deceased had been recruited by one of these contractors and had been employed for just over half a month.

Benjamin's words immediately silenced them, who looked at each other while concealing something.

Rather than engaging in futile discourse, he warned, "Persisting in this deadlock will only prolong the issue, yielding no advantageous outcomes. Conducting an autopsy is now the best choice. Only by elucidating all factors and circumstances can we attain precise conclusions. If you persist in obstruction, you will gain no benefit and may incur legal liabilities for impeding official duties."

His face was gloomy, and his gaze at the family of the deceased was icy.

His words completely shocked them.

Especially the deceased's parents, in tears and fear, were speechless for a long time.

Mark said, "Mr. Martin, please don't intimidate us. We live in a society governed by law, where everything hinges on evidence and fairness. It's undeniable that the Martin Group's negligence with the materials led to my cousin's death. No matter where you turn, the responsibility ultimately falls on the Martin Group."

"That's right. The Martin Group family is at fault. Don't scare us. We don't care about your money, but our son."

Mark's words were echoed by the deceased's parents, and only the deceased's wife was shedding tears with her head down throughout the whole process.
