Chapter 809
According to the lottery, Johnson Corporation was the last to go on stage
This gave them time and opportunity to double-check their mistakes.
Rachel crossed her legs, clasped her hands, and patiently listened to the people from the other groups.
Noah, who was sitting on the stage, had been silently observing Rachel. When Noah saw Rachel’scalm attitude, a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
Rachel was more patient than Noah had imagined.
But so what if Noah could keep her composure? She was destined to be defeated today.
Thinking of this, Noah lowered his eyes to hide the cold hostility in them.
Soon, it was Johnson Corporation’s turn to speak. As the project manager, Haley said, “It’s an honor forus, Johnson Corporation, to be invited to this industry summit…”
Linda stared nervously at Haley, who was speaking on stage, afraid that something would go wrong.However, Linda did not expect that nothing went wrong until the speech ended
Under the enthusiastic applause from the audience, Linda’s heart that was in her throat gradually fellback to its original place.
Rachel, who was sitting beside Linda, had a faint smile on her red lips. Rachel lowered her eyes to lookat her phone, and there was a faint mocking look in the depths of her eyes.
Linda, who was closest to Rachel, sensitively sensed Rachel’s change. After deliberating for a moment,Linda carefully asked. in a low voice, “Ms. Grey, is there anything wrong?”
As soon as Linda finished speaking, she heard Noah’s voice. “The plan proposed by JohnsonCorporation is impressive, but I have a question to ask the person in charge of Johnson Corporation.”
When Linda heard this, her expression suddenly changed. Linda subconsciously looked at Rachel.
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as if everythinghad been expected.
Rachel did not stand up. Instead, she sat on the chair and looked at Noah, who was sitting on thestage. “Feel free to ask.”
Noah pretended to flip through the proposal in his hand and looked up to meet Rachel’s gaze. “As faras I know, that sea area. is the foundation of the local residents survival Johnson Corporation wants toturn the east of the city into a new city area. by filling the sea and reclaiming land. Does that solve theproblem of the local people’s livelihood?”
Rachel said in neither servile nor overbearing manner. ‘Of course. Now that Johnson Corporation hassuccessfully obtained the approval to fill the sea and reclaim the land. Johnson Corporation will activelycooperate with the local relevant departments and give corresponding compensation. We will strive togive everyone a new environment to live and work in peace.
“If that’s the case, I wonder where the rumors about Johnson Corporation came from?” Noah had hissignature smile on his face, but his words were filled with an aggressive aura. “We’ve heard that inorder to persuade the local residents to sign, Johnson Corporation staff maliciously polluted the marineenvironment, causing the death of fish seedlings, and even used improper connections to obtain theapproval to fill the sea and reclaim the land?”
As soon as Noah finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a deadly silence.
However, after only a few seconds, the people’s whispers were like boiling water in a pot.
“Malicious pollution of the marine environment is no laughing matter!”
“Really? There’s a legal responsibility for maliciously polluting the marine environment. If the situationis serious, criminal responsibility will be held accountable.”
“Who knows if it’s true or not? As the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire. This rumor isdefinitely not groundless.”
“It’s said that Johnson Corporation has been dominating Seaxas for the past few years. They have thebacking of political figures and has done all kinds of outrageous businesses over the years!”
Everyone’s discussion filled every corner of the venue. They looked at Rachel with gloating eyes.
Johnson Corporation was a powerful competitor to begin with. Now that something like this hadhappened, the heavens were really helping them.
Facing everyone’s unreasonable accusations, Linda was the first to be unable to sit still. She meeredand said, “When I was young, one dog in the village barked, and the other dogs followed suit. Now thatI look at everyone present, there are some similarities.”
Linda was indirectly calling them dogs.
Everyone choked and their faces turned red.
“Evidence is important in everything” Amidst the noisy discussion. Rachel’s voice sounded again. “Mr.Jones, with rigorous personality, you must have obtained strong evidence for saying these words.”
your
Noah did not say anything. He only picked up the cup beside him and took a sip. His gaze casuallyswept across Rachel below the stage with a hint of mockery.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman sitting on the right said, “Miss Grey, with your talent and ability,you will definitely be able to lead Johnson Corporation to a new height in the future. However, first ofall, you have to learn to be down-to-earth and not take advantage of others, let alone harm others’interests.”
Rachel did not have much patience on her face. She said coldly. “Where’s the evidence?”
Rachel’s gaze turned cold inch by inch. It was as if there was a knife hidden in the depths of her eyesthat could stab into the middle-aged woman’s chest at any moment.
The middle-aged woman’s heart trembled, and her aura immediately weakened.
When Noah saw that the middle-aged woman was shocked by Rachel, a look of disgust flashed acrosshis eyes.
Noah
put down the cup in his hand and said unhurriedly, “Of course we have evidence, but this matter is tooimportant for us to make a decision easily. It has been handed over to the police.”
As soon as Noah finished speaking, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open and a group ofpeople in uniforms walked
1.
When Rachel saw such a coincidental scene, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a faint andcold smile.
So everything had been arranged.
Aileen, who was sitting in the first row, subconsciously wanted to get up when she saw the situation.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. Aileen looked down at the message and couldn’t help but frown. Shelooked up at Rachel. Rachel curled her lips, indicating that Aileen could rest assured.
Aileen tightened her grip on her phone. Her knuckles turned pale as she tried her best to suppress theraging fire in her chest.
When the elite team of Johnson Corporation was taken away, everyone could not help but sigh.
No one expected such a scene to happen at the summit.
However, now that Johnson Corporation had been in trouble, the onlookers could not help but revealgloating smiles.
At noon, the elite team of Johnson Corporation walked out of the police station. All of them lookedwithered. They were no longer as high-spirited as before.
“Do you think Ms. Grey will really be sentenced?”
“Didn’t you hear what the people in the police station said just now? Those who maliciously damagethe uninhabited marine environment will be sentenced to not more than three years of fixed-termimprisonment or criminal detention. Those whose crime is especially serious will be sentenced to notless than three years and not more than seven years of fixed-term imprisonment.”
“Does this mean that Ms. Grey is completely finished?”
“Don’t talk nonsensel” Linda could not take it anymore and scolded coldly, “Others might not know whatkind of person Ms. Grey is, but don’t you know in your hearts? I believe that she will never do anythingillegal!”
At this moment, a woman in the crowd couldn’t help but sneer. “Ms. Galler, it’s not whether you believein Ms. Grey’s character or not, but the evidence is conclusive.”
