Bianca faced the reporters' antagonistic questions by brushing away her sideburns and speaking in a solemn voice.
"No words can express the guilt in my heart while faced with such a major tragedy. As the owner of The Galleria, I admit that T Corporation cannot shirk our responsibility in this incident. However, we cannot conclude if there is an element of sabotage in the accident. We have already set up a special task force that will cooperate with the police on the investigations. I would advise the general public not t o worry. The investigative process shall be fully transparent, and we will give everyone a satisfactory explanation!"
After she said that, there was a commotion among the reporters.
The reporters jostled among each other to be the first t o ask questions. They bombarded Bianca with all sorts of weird and tricky questions.
They lifted their microphones as high as they could and shouted their questions out loud.
The scene at the press conference was utterly chaotic. No one could hear what each other was saying.
In this day and age, any company would not hesitate t o push the blame to another party whenever a major accident happened.
They were afraid of taking on responsibility.
The job of a reporter was to dig for the truth. Of course, they were also interested in any tasty tidbits that they could report!
"Everyone, please calm down. We'll take questions one by one!" Jason said loudly into the microphone. "The reporter from PNBC, you may ask your question first. A s for the other reporters, please calm down. You will get your chance to ask questions!"
The reporter from PNBC stepped forward, pointed the microphone at Bianca, and asked directly, "Ms. Rayne, do you really believe that there is an element of sabotage in this accident? There was no forewarning before the collapse of The Galleria, and furthermore, the security measures in the shopping mall have always been tight. Are you trying to divert public attention by lying?"
Bianca looked straight into the reporter's eyes. "I have explained earlier that investigations are still undergoing. One day, the truth shall be uncovered.
"If the investigations reveal that an internal problem caused the collapse, then my husband Luke and I will resign from the company and promise never to be involved in any business. You can take my word for it! Every one of you here can be my witness! If we find out that someone has sabotaged us, I will not forgive the perpetrator, and they shall pay for their crimes by blood. Either way, there will be justice for all the victims of this tragedy!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise!
The reporters were whispering to each other. The higher management of T Corporation at the press conference was staring at Bianca with a look of disbelief.
Mavis had the most incredulous expression among all of them.
Her beautiful face was viciously contorted. What right did that arrogant woman have to make a promise on Luke's behalf? If she wanted to resign, she could have done it on her own!
Luke was an eminent figure in the business circle of A City. His departure from the business would be like a shining pearl buried in the depths of the ocean. No one would be able to see his brilliance anymore, and that would be a fatal blow to T Corporation!
The only person at the scene who could maintain his composure was Jason.
