I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Benjamin had a conversation with the police again. After such an unexpected incident, the advice given by the police was for Benjamin to initiate an investigation. Only in this way could the Martin Group withdraw from the situation smoothly. This was also what Benjamin had in mind. He stepped aside to make a call to Larry, "Where is Ryan? Ask him to come back to Mayby today to handle the collapse issue."

The collapse incident had already stirred up a huge storm online. Larry was aware of the situation. He said, "The online discussion is intense. Are we not planning to suppress it?"

"It's already widely known. Can suppressing it erase people's memories? They will only deem us guilty," Benjamin said.

Since it had already spread, everything should be handled openly.

"I'll contact Ryan immediately. He's currently in the country and should be able to come back," Larry said.

"Make sure he comes back," Benjamin said.

"Can't you be less domineering?" Larry said.

"That's it. I have other matters to attend to." Benjamin hung up the phone.

Ryan was Larry's younger brother and a famous lawyer. He had never lost a case under his jurisdiction, and handling such disputes was his specialty.

Curtis hurriedly entered from outside.

He said, "Mr. Martin, the search and rescue video from the scene has been leaked. Now, major TV stations and media outlets are broadcasting it. Also, the families of the deceased are unwilling to settle privately. They hope the media and relevant departments will investigate thoroughly and provide a reasonable explanation. The media also demands a response from the Martin Group."

"I see. The deceased is the priority. We will cooperate regardless of their intentions," Benjamin said.

The ten injured people were all taken to the hospital. Benjamin chose Dr. Gene's hospital and arranged a floor for them with guards secretly watching. Family members were allowed to visit. These measures were taken to prevent any further incidents. However, the reporters remained at the door, demanding Benjamin to come out and face the victim's family.

Benjamin wouldn't show up at this time. In less than an hour, the incident had already escalated to widespread public knowledge.

Benjamin informed Charlie, "No one at the scene is allowed to leave for now. After this matter is thoroughly investigated, I will let them go. Also, all expenses during this period will be covered, including meals. Stay here and supervise." "Okay, I'll inform them."

Charlie agreed and left.

Benjamin turned to find Harper.

After Benjamin left, Harper went to the warehouse to check the unused materials. She wanted to see if there were any issues there.

Sophia called her, "Ms. Mitchell, have you arrived? Mr. Parker and I are outside the door and can't get in. We don't know what's going on inside."

"I'm inside. Go find Mr. Parker," Harper replied.

Sophia relayed the message, and Frank took the phone, asking, "Harper, what's the situation? The media is implying that there are too many injured people, and someone has died. Do you need Sophia and I to be there with you?"

"I don't know the specific situation yet. You guys can go back now. I'll contact you after I check the materials." Harper didn't say much because she didn't know much. The only thing she could do was check the materials.

After checking, she confirmed that there were no issues with the materials piled up in the warehouse.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Benjamin came in and saw Harper bending over. "What's wrong?"

"I checked these unused materials, and there's no problem. So, under normal circumstances, there shouldn't have been any confusion or misuse of steel bars. Benjamin, do you think there might have been a mistake when I checked with Charlie earlier?" Otherwise, how could steel bars from the same batch end up being of different specifications?
