Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1084

Titus' mind was hoping for him to pass out, but his body was doing the opposite by keeping him sober, and he was forced to listen.

On usual days, he would faint on trivial matters and be sent to the hospital immediately, but it looked like it wasn't happening anytime soon when he was desperate at this time.

He had never hated himself this much for his body condition, which was ruining things at bad times from time to time. It's a nuisance.

Chief Dunlap was studying Titus with a meaningful look, as Titus' face turned pale and beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

Titus' reaction was a confirmation of his guess. The employees are speaking the truth, or else Titus won't react with such nervousness and anxiety but get angry.After all, a person normally won't bear others spreading rumors of him and slandering his name.

However, Titus' expression was mixed with guilt and nervousness, other than anger. Therefore, Chief Dunlap couldn't help but notice that and wondered, There must be something going on. He won't have that look if he's innocent.

Meanwhile, the conversation between the two employees went on.

"Simon, you mentioned many miners were killed in the mine collapse. How many were they exactly?"

"I don't remember the numbers, but I'm sure more than ten died in the accident."

"More than ten deaths?"

"Yes. There's a law in our country prohibiting the company from continuing mining once there are more than ten deaths during the process. Besides, the company must report the cases to the authorities. Our president indeed made the report, but the company didn't stop the mining back then. Obviously, not only did the president hide the truth that overexploitation was the cause of the mine collapse in the first place, he also lied about the number of deaths. He wanted to avoid the miners being prohibited to enter the cave, and continued to exploit the resources until he made the most value out of them."

"Tskl The president is cruder than I thought."

"That's a common trait of entrepreneurs, though. Enough of the topic. The elevator has arrived. Let's go"

Ending the conversation, the two men stepped into the elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, the men turned to each other and exchanged a meaningful smile.

The group turned around the corner and entered the lobby once the elevator began to descend.

Chief Dunlap watched the number on the elevator floor display decreasing before turning to Titus, who was clenching his fists tightly and deep in thought. Squinting his eyes, Chief Dunlap began coldly, "President Gray, I guess you heard everything, aren’t you? Do you have anything to tell me?"

Titus' eyes widened at that as he answered in panic, "Chief Dunlap, it's not true. You shouldn't listen to them. They're merely trying to ruin my reputation. Please believe me. I'm telling the truth."

He reached out his hand to grab the other man's arm.

Chief Dunlap was aware of Titus' attempt as he lifted his arm to avoid Titus. Feigning a smile at Titus, he answered dismissively, "President Gray, I'll find out whether the two were speaking the truth or not by myself, so stop wasting your energy in the attempt to earn my trust. Anything can wait until the investigation results are out. That's all for today. I have to go."

Once he finished his words, he stepped into another elevator, followed by his men.

Titus didn't try to follow and didn't dare to do so at all. He could only stand there while watching the group leave. His body was stiff as he had goosebumps.

As soon as the elevator door shut before him, the strength that had been supporting him left his body as his legs buckled and he fell backward.

His subordinate shrieked before rushing over to help him stand.

"President Gray! What happened? Are you okay?"

"President Gray, I'll help you up."

At last, Titus rose to his feet with his assistant's help. As his limbs were still feeble and he was unable to stand firmly in such a condition, he leaned onto his assistant for balance. The blood had drained from his face and he stared at the void, mumbling, "We're doomed... We're really doomed..."
