Chapter 434 What Is Going On?
Curtis used influential people from all walks of life to summarize what was happening on the Internet at the moment. In fact, he understated it.
He showed Benjamin the screenshots sent by the public relations department. In total, dozens of official accounts had issued statements of support.
Not every company or influential figure maintained a collaborative relationship with the Martin Group. In fact, some had never engaged in any business dealings with them whatsoever. Certain entities were even based overseas and entirely disconnected from any association with the Martin Group. At the sight of this scene, Benjamin fell into deep thought.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
He pondered, "What is going on?
Who is controlling all this behind the scenes?"
Benjamin remained silent for a long time but didn't think of anyone who could do this.
He looked at Curtis. "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know. I specifically checked the companies and celebrities that issued the statements. There is no alliance between them. They may not have anything to do with each other."
Benjamin nodded with a straight face. The next moment, he rose from the chair and left without even taking a glance at the family of the deceased.
They hurriedly said, "What does Mr. Martin mean? We haven't even finished our words, and he hasn't agreed to our request yet!"
Curtis glared at them and said, "Now is not the time for you to negotiate terms and make demands with Mr. Martin."
They were confused about Curtis' words, but he turned away at once without giving them a chance to ask further. Benjamin left after negotiating with the police. As for the family of the deceased, the police would persuade them. Since they refused the reparation but only demanded justice, the incident should be thoroughly investigated. Because many people openly stood behind Benjamin, plenty of companies in Mayby also sided with him.
The Ellison Group expressed its intention to issue a statement of support after this incident occurred, but Benjamin stopped it. Now, Larry had posted it in person, followed by one from the Hastings Group. Then, other companies that had cooperation with the Martin Group had also gradually conform to it.
Numerous companies backed the Martin Group, so netizens also expressed their doubts. [Did the Martin Group bribe them?]
There are so countless companies and big shots, and some of them have nothing to do with the Martin Group. How can they bribe them?]
[Although the Martin Group is at the top of the pyramid, many of these corporations and celebrities are also at the top!]
Is there really some inside story about this matter that we don't know about?]
[It can tell that the Martin Group's credibility is very good!]
Benjamin came out of the police station and sat in the car, watching the discussions on the Internet with a solemn expression.
At that moment, his cell phone rang.
It was Larry.
He asked, "Benjamin, I've never heard you mention your connections with these supportive companies and celebrities. Are you attempting to conceal this from me?"
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"
"Didn't you know?"
"Yes."
Larry was shocked. "Are you serious?"
Benjamin did not answer but said, "Don't act rashly. So many people are suddenly upholding the Martin Group. I don't know if there is any other ulterior purpose now, so don't risk the Ellison Group." Benjamin was unwilling to implicate others because of the Martin Group, especially those who were close to him.
Then, he asked Larry to warn Felix.
Larry knew well Benjamin did this because he didn't want to owe them anything. Consequently, he verbally consented, though his intentions were otherwise.
After Benjamin ended the call with Larry, Curtis opened the car door and got in.
Curtis said, "Mr. Martin, the medical examiner has reached a conclusion."
