Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel 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."
