From Wife to Aunt: His Worst Nightmare novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Only then did I remember why I was there and hurriedly took out my recording equipment.

Steve spoke first. “There was a serious oversight within one of the construction teams under Griffin Group, and I bear significant responsibility for it.

“However, the moment the incident occurred yesterday, I immediately arranged for the workers’ unpaid wages to be resolved.

“As for the victim’s family, Griffin Group will take full responsibility for their well-being and compensation. We will not shirk our duty.”

His words were clearly meant for the workers on-site.

After hearing this, many of them praised Steve for taking responsibility and handling the matter efficiently and decisively.

Later, I learned from one of the workers that the reason things had been calmed so quickly was because Griffin Group had not only paid out six months of back wages, but they had also provided an additional amount equal to that sum as compensation.

Looking at the relieved smiles on so many faces, I couldn’t help thinking of the worker who had jumped from the rooftop the night before.

To Steve, a few million or even tens of millions was never the issue.

But it had taken a living, breathing life to bring this about.

The marks where his body had hit the ground were still clearly visible. The dried blood was harsh to look at.

At that moment, Isabel began adding a performance of her own.

She stepped out of the car as if walking a red carpet, and the workers immediately recognized her.

They clearly hadn’t expected such a big celebrity to show up at a place like this.

With a warm, practiced smile, she greeted everyone, “Hello, everyone. I’m Isabel. I came with Mr. Griffin to visit you all. I also brought some drinks and snacks for everyone. You’ve all worked really hard.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the assistants she’d brought along began handing out drinks.

I sighed quietly. This woman really knew how to make a show of things, coming all the way

a construction site just to hand out drinks.

She would’ve been better off treating everyone to a proper meal.

Many of the workers weren’t used to the sweet drinks, setting them aside after taking just a

sip.

However, there were plenty of people asking Isabel for autographs.

“Ms. Stone, my kid really likes you. Could you give me an autograph?”

“My child too! You’re her only idol!”

A crowd quickly gathered around Isabel.

She didn’t look impatient at all. Not only did she sign autographs, but she also took photos

with them.

I stood off to the side, unnoticed, listening to the workers chatting among themselves.

“Wow, Mr. Griffin and his wife really are a perfect match, and neither of them puts on airs. They’re so approachable! I never imagined I’d get this close to a celebrity in my lifetime.”

“Isn’t Isabel a spokesperson for Griffin Group? How did she become Mr. Griffin’s wife?”

“You don’t get it! The way Isabel looks at Mr. Griffin-it’s full of love. Just watch, she’ll be Mrs. Griffin before long!”

My chest tightened with bitterness. I raised my camera and snapped photos of the scene,

Just then, Isabel suddenly looked at me and questioned, “Ms. Yaxley, are you only interested in Steve? Aren’t you going to interview me as well?”

If the news of Isabel accompanying Steve on this visit were published, it would be a highlight, and the view count would surely soar.

For the sake of my job, I walked over to her and took out my recorder.
