However, Fuller Corporation’s AI technology had been hyped up in its initial stages, and everyone had thought that it would send Fuller Corporation which was already at its peak to an even greater stride. Now it seemed like everything was not as simple as we had thought.
Their press conference was over a month ago. This meant that Fuller Corporation would allegedly be sued for plagiarism. Normally, a hefty fine would be imposed under these circumstances, but that would only be a minor problem. The major problem would be whether Fuller Corporation’s reputation could survive this crisis.
Ashton had ventured into AI to diversify the projects that they could take on in the future since the market was an ever-changing tapestry. The real estate market that George built his empire upon was already a red ocean. The best that they could do was only to sustain the business and, at best, earn meager money from it. Ashton foresaw that it would be near impossible to achieve greater strides in the same sector. Hence, Fuller Corporation’s investment in AI technology aimed to better serve the ever-developing market.
There was no time to explain everything to Emery. I hung up the phone and went over to Fuller Corporation immediately.
Once there, I noticed that reporters from various different media outlets were already crowding the Fuller Corporation building. It was impossible for me to drive past the crowd. Hence, I got off the car and planned to sneak inside the building.
However, to my dismay, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, “It’s Mrs. Fuller! She’s here!”
The exclamation sent the crowd into a frenzy. Before I could react, blinding flashlights hit my face as the reporters began to throw questions at me.
“Mrs. Fuller, are you aware that Mr. Fuller had plagiarized the product of CBU?”
“Is this Mr. Fuller’s doing, or is the whole Fuller Corporation also involved? How much do you know about this?”
“Mrs. Fuller, it’s rumored that you’re not working in Fuller Corporation, but your company is collaborating with your husband’s company for this project. Did the two of you conspired to anticipate huge earnings in the local market after the AI technology has been launched?”
“Mrs. Fuller, rumor has it that you’re managing all assets registered under Mr. Fuller’s name. I’d like to know, given that you’re the wife of the man who tops the billionaire rankings every year, does he extort it all from the public?”
The questions got increasingly crude and demeaning. Swarmed by the reporters, it was impossible for me to make my way through the crowd. Exasperated at the flashing cameras that were hurting my eyes, I could no longer hold myself in. “Please do not accuse my husband and me of anything without any concrete evidence. Otherwise, I will give everything in my power to sue every single one of you for defamation!”
