My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1198

The Al technology that the Roberts Group announced was supposed to be a huge feather in the cap, pushing the company's success to new heights. However, it seemed that things were not as easy as we thought they would be.

The other party's press conference was a month ago, which meant that Roberts Group was plagiarizing them. Generally, in this kind of situation, it was a trivial matter to pay a huge amount for compensation. The reputation and the future of the company were the bigger problems.

Hendrix's purpose in setting up Al was to lead the company into the future. The market was everchanging. The real estate market, and the other industries that Master Roberts had made his fortunes on were reaching market saturation. Currently, the only thing he could do was to keep his staff and continue as usual. It was already impossible for him to further develop the company in these saturated industries. Thus, the Roberts Group's purpose of setting up an Al division was to better adapt to market developments in the future.

I didn't spend more time speaking to Freya. Quickly hanging up the phone, I drove straight to the Roberts Group.

The reporters and media had surrounded the entrance of the Roberts Group building, and I couldn't drive the car in. I got out of the car, preparing to sneak into Roberts Group.

However, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Mrs. Roberts is here. She's here!"

Before I could react, I was surrounded by a group of people, cameras flashing in my face. The reporters around me started to ask me a series of deliberately loaded questions.

"Mrs. Roberts, are you aware that Mr. Roberts is plagiarizing CBU's scientific and technological works?"

"Is this plagiarism a personal act of Mr. Roberts', or the whole Roberts Group? How much did you know about this matter?"

"Mrs. Roberts, while you're not employed at the Roberts Group, you are currently working with a company that is cooperating with the Roberts Group in this technology project. With regards to this matter, are you planning on making a huge profit off your collaboration on this Al technology after it is released?"

"Mrs. Roberts, I heard that all the assets under Mr. Roberts's name are currently managed by you. As the wife of one of the richest men in the country, I would like to interview you. Did Mr. Roberts get his wealth from exploiting ordinary people?"

The questions were getting overwhelming. The crowd made it hard for me to move, and camera flashes were making my eyes hurt. In an instant, I lost my cool and said, "Everyone, please watch your mouths. If you don't have any evidence, please don't slander me or my husband. Otherwise, I'll sue you all for slander, even if it will bankrupt me."

The crowd had blocked my path, and I couldn't move a step. I could only use my hand to cover my eyes from the glaring cameras. Some sharp-tongued reporters continued to ask, "Mrs. Roberts, are you feeling extremely flustered and desperate now? Although we are making groundless accusations, there is no smoke without fire. If Mr. Roberts is innocent, he wouldn't be afraid of the threat of slander. Unless he really did something he shouldn't have done, he shouldn't feel guilty. Mrs. Roberts, was your threat just a bluff?"

Amidst the crowd, I was pushed to the ground. I didn't know who pushed me. However, before I could react, someone stepped on my hand, which made me gasp in pain.

There were too many people, and I was worried that I would be trampled. I wanted to get up from the ground, but it seemed that someone didn't want me to get up. I was being pushed to the ground again.

This was repeated a few times. I was kicked and trampled for no reason. Suddenly, the reporters who had surrounded me dispersed and the atmosphere instantly calmed down.
