Chapter 725
For Louis to be tearing apart the capitalists with his bare hands was equivalent to betting against his own future and reputation. The Pentaland Group must be behind him to provide support.
However, even if that were the case, he would probably not have the guts to create rumors like that, otherwise, he would be facing a defamation lawsuit.
In other words, more or less, the project was destined to be problematic.
Therefore, she voiced it to Hunter, "sir, I intend to go and inspect the construction of the project that Louis had accused."
Hunter thought it was necessary too and was about to agree to it. Maribel suddenly stood up guiltily, and she said hastily, "Miss Clark, it is such a cold day. The project site is very far. Perhaps I should go? This project was under my purview before this!"
"Miss Lionel is not afraid of the cold, and so am I," Catelyn faked a smile and replied.
She had found Maribel to be acting strange since she first stepped into the meeting room.
As soon as she suggested inspecting the site, Maribel was so anxious she doubted anyone would believe that there was nothing fishy about it.
Maribel's smile was a little stiff now. She looked at Hunter subconsciously. However, Hunter was curious to know if the project had quality issues too.
It was commonly known that, just like the food industry, the biggest fear for construction projects was safety.
Years ago, problems about the Group's property surfaced, causing their company name to be tarnished. Even though many years had passed, the brand was damaged beyond repair and could not be turned around, no matter how hard they tried.
As though without hesitation, Hunter appointed Catelyn to handle this.
Maribel had no choice but to say she would follow Catelyn to the site.
Before departing, she went to the toilet.
When she came out, Catelyn noticed that the makeup on her right cheek was smudged, as though being wiped away by her phone when making a phone call.
The problematic project was a newly built skyscraper located in the newly developed Creekshire area in Sapphire City. It was not very populated.
It was lunch hour, and the construction workers were oblivious to the drama on the internet and were sitting together having lunch.
Even though they sell labor for wages, their smiles are genuine.
The company had a responsibility to ensure their safety!
However, before they even stepped foot into the lift, suddenly, they all heard a loud commotion, followed by someone's shriek.
"Oh no! It collapsed! Quick! Someone's injured! Help!"
This was unexpected. Even Maribel herself was shocked and frozen at where she was.
The construction supervisor was about to welcome Catelyn, but his face turned green upon hearing that.
Catelyn immediately called the hospital and fire brigade. Maribel suddenly leaped forward to snatch her phone away.
