Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1647

A guest approached Raeleigh, caught by her beauty, but Stuart immediately stepped in.

"Sorry, this seat is taken."

After the admirer left, a server came to their table with some refreshments. Raeleigh was indeed hungry, so she began to eat, and so did the other reporters. It was a no-brainer that most of them hadn't eaten, given the early timing.

Leave it to Jepherson to be thoughtful.

Soon, the press conference began. Jepherson first showed a few authoritative QC reports; they've always had them, but there had never been a need to put them to use.

Showing it right then meant nobody could overthrow any of his statements later.

In addition, Jepherson specifically mentioned the issue of the car when the reporter asked questions.

But no one asked why there were three accidents in the car in such a short time, so Raeleigh raised her hand.

Seeing it, Jepherson gave the floor to her.

Raeleigh asked, "Mr. Richards, if I may ask, why

were there three accidents in such a short time?"

Jepherson smiled and said to the room, "I can't say that someone is targeting Richards Group. It's illogical, no?"

The reporters were stunned, but Raeleigh chuckled and said, "You sure have a sense of humor, Mr. Richards."

Hearing Raeleigh's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Jepherson also grinned but then knocked on the table, and the room immediately quieted down.

Then, Jepherson glanced inadvertently at Raeleigh before answering her question.

"We're in the middle of investigating it. We've already assigned a leading private detective to look into the matter since the first incident. It was then we learned that someone had tampered with the car that had already been sold."

"We've compensated the first car owner with ten times the price. You all might assume we're trying to seal our customers' mouths by shelling out money to cover up this accident."

"However, life is priceless. If it is because of our car, no matter how much money I have, I can't bring back someone's life."

"Richards Group would not hesitate to compensate for any injuries caused by our negligence." "Compared to a human life, money is just a pile of waste paper."

Jepherson swept this gaze across the room; the reporters were all silent. He then continued, "We also compensated the second car owner with a huge sum of money. Just like the first, this money was used to compensate for people's lives. Although nobody was hurt, Richards Group would not do anything without conscience. I still wasn't at ease after compensating, let alone turning a blind eye to it."

"Before the truth comes to light, I will continue to compensate if another incident comes up again."

"But allow me to apologize. We've only made progress by the third incident, which is the latest one. This is why we didn't hold a press conference for the previous two incidents."

Jepherson raised his hand, motioning for Raeleigh to sit down. She did so, and Jepherson continued, "Allow me to tell you a story; you'll get where I'm going."

"Once upon a time, there was a wealthy man. He had a lot of money and a lot of properties. He hired a lot of people to work for him, to which he could earn more and more money." "A famous man would naturally attract rumors, and he was no exception." "There was a fool who was very bitter when he saw the rich making money. They were both doing the same thing, yet he was getting poorer by the day while the rich was getting richer."

"Since then, he stopped working and started plotting against the rich instead."

"One day, when the fool saw the rich doing charity by donating food, he went to get the food too. But after he ate the food, he told everyone he suffered a stomach ache for several days after eating it. He claimed that the rich's food was moldy and only donated them because they couldn't sell it."

"Since then, everyone suspected the rich was up to no good."

"However, the rich continued donating food, remaining undeterred."

"While the fool continued his slander every day."

"At first, everyone believed him, but when people kept seeing the fool lining up for food, they no longer believed him after some time."

The floor was silent as everyone exchanged glances.

Raeleigh raised her hand; Jepherson asked her to extend her question seated. "Mr. Richards, can I assume a fool has been deliberately framing Richards Group by causing these three incidents?"

Raeleigh asked.

Jepherson answered, "What else? Our cars are sold all over the world, yet only the ones in Capital City are faulty. Why right under our noses?"

"In the past decade, I can't vow that our cars have never had issues, but don't you think it's weird that a newly purchased car suddenly became faulty?"

"What's more, in the history of car making, same batch, same issue."

"However, this time, the first was brake failure; the second, uneven fuel control, and the third, selfignition."

"I refuse to believe our cars are plagued with problems."

The reason why I said this jealous man is a fool is that he isn't a professional."

"If I were him, I'd only cause problems in the same place. For example, if there's an issue with the brake, all the brakes from the same batch would be faulty. However, the three incidents were neither from the same cause; it proves something's shady with the case."

"But I have a feeling none of you believe me."

"These are the reports from the three leading private detectives I hired, and they've confirmed all three cars were tampered with."

"Therefore, the Richards Group will consider our own interests and will not be responsible for their lives if they did not intend to appreciate it themselves."

Jepherson handed the documents to his subordinates and had someone switch off the lights in the restaurant. There was a screen prepared in advance on stage; on it showed the three reports andMaterial © of NôvelDrama.Org.

some photos of bribery. More importantly, all three customers had been in contact with the same person."

After showing evidence, the light switched back on. Jepherson then stood up and said, "That's all for today's press conference. Everyone present will receive a gift. If you don't mind, it will be handed to you later."

With that, Jepherson left the stage. Raeleigh also stood up and exited through a different door.

Stuart accompanied her back to the top floor of the hotel.

There was a monitor in Jepherson's room, and he was watching it.

The reporters left one after another after receiving their gifts. At this time, the Richards Group had also begun trial and was ready to safeguard their ownership.

The car issue had come to an end.

After Raeleigh entered the room, she sat down. After a while, Jepherson looked over at Raeleigh, then walked to her to look at her press card, saying, "Though we lost our trust, we're still on the same wavelength."
