Chapter: 1227
Wallace then went on to say, “Because of my admiration for Mr.
Sullivan and Mr. Scott, I decided to join the Sullivan Group. Even before we met, I had a sense that you two were very astute when it came to spotting potential talents. It seems to me that you allowed me in because you believed that I could be trusted, Mr. Scott."
Carson grinned and said, "Well, that's something right there. I'm going to have to believe you now that you've made a compelling case."
Wallace maintained his silence while wearing a small grin.
In silence, Carson fiddled with the pen he had in his hand.
“I'U ask Ivan to grant you a key to the archive's inner chamber. There are all of the Sullivan Group's contracts over the last three decades.
You're free to come in and look whenever you want."
At this point, a reporter's voice came through the TV, which had been muted for the duration of the meeting.
In the Bennet family's house, Rachel asked the new servant to make some soup.
As she walked out of the kitchen, her eyes drifted to Joey, who was sitting on the sofa.
“Joe, have some soup first,” she said.
Not a word left Joey's lips. His eyes stared intently on the television.
The servant was welcomed by this scene as she walked out of the kitchen.
"Miss Bennet, let me call him for you," she said.
“No. It's fine." Rachel walked towards the Living room. She was about to pat the little guy's shoulder when she was interrupted by the sound of the news coming from the television.
"Yesterday, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Public Security
Bureau, along with the other departments, carried out a spot check on a number of major developments in Baltimore. As they were looking into one of the Sullivan Group's projects, an unfortunate incident happened. A slate suddenly fell off, causing serious injuries to one of their workers. He was reported to be unconscious during the said tragedy. The cause of this terrible accident is currently still under investigation. However, according to one of the inspection experts present, the poor quality of the materials used during the construction was one of the probable causes of the accident."
One of the Sullivan Group's projects had gone wrong.
Suddenly, Rachel's phone buzzed. It was an update from the stock market.
"The Sullivan Group is suspected to be using cheap and unsafe materials for their infrastructures and hastening the construction process for quick profit. Baltimore's government agencies are currently holding an investigation regarding this matter."
Rachel continued to scroll on his phone for other news.
"The stock price of the Sullivan Construction plummeted by a staggering 15%.
Shareholders are demanding a report from the senior executives of the company .""
The unfortunate news Rachel saw through her phone put a frown on her face.
It wasn't until then that Rachel noticed that Joey was watching the news about the Sullivan Group from his tablet.
