Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 788 She Seemed Frail but Strong at the Press Conference

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 to 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 to 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 to 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. As 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.

The PR crisis this time was especially serious, and the spokesperson could not make any excuses. He knew that

Bianca must have assessed the situation carefully before making that promise.

If Bianca did not handle the crisis well, there was no hope for T Corporation to restore its reputation.

The reporters' incisive questions continued to pour in...

"Ms. Rayne, Mr. Luke Crawford has not made a public appearance since the accident happened. Are you sure that

you are speaking on his behalf?" "Ms. Rayne, the tragic arson incident of Greenview Regalia from two years ago is

still fresh in everyone's minds. If we look at the two cases, can we conclude that T Corporation employs subpar

construction methods and materials? How would you convince the public that that is not the case?"

The incisive questions gushed forth like a geyser.

Everyone waited to see that seemingly delicate woman named Bianca Rayne sputter and flail.

They did not expect to see her heave her chest.

Her breathing became heavy, tears welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly slumped forward.

She took out a napkin to wipe her red and swollen eyes, then faced the camera and said, "I know that T

Corporation is facing a crisis of public confidence after all the accidents in the past two years, but we believe that

the evidence can speak for themselves.

"My husband, Luke Crawford, has insisted on using the best construction techniques and materials ever since he

took over the business. You might be caught up on the two incidents because of how recent they were, but may I

bring your attention to the Great Fort Chaney Earthquake that happened six years ago?

"In that tragedy, the casualties numbered in the hundred thousands. Almost all the buildings in Fort Chaney were

destroyed, but the office buildings, apartments, and schools built by T Corporation remained almost unscathed. The

worst damage that our buildings suffered was some tilting, but none of them collapsed or crumbled. Tens of

thousands of lives were saved...

"Now, all of you accuse us that our buildings are subpar because of separate incidents without even waiting for the

results of the investigation. Even sentencing a criminal to death row requires evidence, but all of you deliver the

unfair verdict based on your imagination. Isn't that unfair to us?"

Everyone was reminded of the great tragedy that happened six years ago. Indeed, all the buildings became ruins,

except forthose built by T Corporation. Some construction experts even said that it was a miracle!

Bianca continued, "Moreover, you have attacked my husband's character unfairly. He fell to the mob to save a

child's life. Right now, he is still in the ICU after an overnight operation. He broke six ribs, and his brain suffers from

swelling and a concussion. His condition is still critical.

"I know that those who have lost their loved ones are waiting for an answer. I am a wife and a mother of three

children, and I can empathize with your agony... Please, give us some time. T Corporation will surely give you a

satisfactory answer!

"The press conference will end here. Before the police release the results of their investigation, T Corporation will

not hesitate to take legal action against anyone who spreads rumors and slanders us!"

After the press conference, Bianca dragged her fatigued body to the ICU ward.

After she sat down on Luke's bed, the first thing she saw was a pair of dark and profound eyes...
