Chapter 115: Radioactive Elements

Following the security guard, Jane walked to the front gate.

A crowd had gathered at the gate, and many reporters were holdingcameras.

Seeing Jane coming out, a man pointed at her and shouted, "It's her,it's her! I've seen her on TV. Jane, the person in charge of the “Ice andFire' project.”

The crowd moved toward Jane.

"What's going on?" Jane asked with a slight frown.

Reporters rushed to interview Jane. "Miss North, there are reports thatthe materials used in Pansy Group's “Ice and Fire’ series aresubstandard and contain radioactive elements. What are your thoughtson this?"

"Miss North, is it true that Pansy Group, to cut costs, used materialswith radioactive elements, leading to poisoning in people who wore the'Ice and Fire’ jewelry?"

One question after another bombarded Jane. She took a deep breath."Ice and Fire" jewelry containing radioactive elements?

How could that be possible?

Pansy Group's raw materials undergo strict scrutiny; such a fatal errorshould not occur.

Unless... someone deliberately set them up.

But Jane wasn't entirely sure about the details at the moment.Everything had to wait until a thorough investigation was conducted toreach a conclusion.

She spoke calmly, "Please, everyone, quiet down. All products fromPansy Group undergo rigorous testing and are only sold afterconfirmation of their quality. It is impossible for them to contain anyradioactive elements. I believe this is a misunderstanding.”

"A misunderstanding?” A stylishly dressed middle-aged woman walkedup to Jane, pointing. "My sister got poisoned after wearing the “Ice andFire' necklace. She's in the hospital right now, and the doctor said if shehad come a few days later, she might not have survived! How can thisbe a misunderstanding?"

“This lady, your sister's poisoning may have various reasons, notnecessarily related to our company's products.” Jane coldly replied."Of course, it's related to you!" The middle-aged woman said angrily."The doctor has examined my sister, and it's radiation poisoning. Thesource is your “Ice and Fire’ necklace! I have the test results here,proving that your necklace contains radioactive elements!"

The man next to the middle-aged woman held a stack of papers."Everyone, take a look. These are copies of the test results. It clearlystates that Pansy Group's necklace contains radioactive elements,causing poisoning. In severe cases, it can lead to death! We spent somuch money on Pansy Group's jewelry, only to end up poisoned and inthe hospital! Pansy Group is selling substandard products, makingmoney without a conscience! *

"That's right, today we must get an explanation for this!" The middle-aged woman and the man echoed each other.

Jane glanced at the test results in the man's hand, unable to determinetheir authenticity immediately. The immediate priority was to investigateand replace out what had happened.

She cleared her throat and spoke in a deep voice, "Pansy Group willdefinitely investigate this thoroughly. Before we reach a conclusion, wehope you can cooperate with us. Why don't you go back for now? I'llsend someone to check whether the necklace you purchased has anyreal issues. If it's indeed a problem with Pansy Group, we will provideyou with a satisfactory solution.”

"Of course, it's a real issue!" The middle-aged woman pointed at Janefiercely. "Don't think about delaying. If Pansy Group doesn't give us anexplanation today, we won't leave!"

Jane frowned, about to respond when a cold, stern voice cut through,"Pansy Group will definitely uncover the truth and provide anexplanation to everyone!"

Jane looked up and saw Patrick striding toward her with a steady pace.Reporters surrounded Patrick immediately. "Mr. Pansy, what are yourthoughts on today's incident? Did Pansy Group really use substandardmaterials to produce the “Ice and Fire’ jewelry series?"

Patrick's handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his striking faceturned stern. "I can only say that Pansy Group has always adhered tothe principle of putting customers first, striving to provide the bestproducts. We never use substandard materials. As for today's incident,I will investigate it thoroughly. If it's indeed an oversight on PansyGroup's part, we will take full responsibility and provide a satisfactoryexplanation to the consumers."

After a pause, his tone grew even more severe, “If it turns out thatsomeone intentionally framed Pansy Group, we will make sure they paythe price!"

Faced with Patrick's overwhelming presence, the middle-aged womaninvoluntarily took a step back. "Fine, we'll wait for the results of PansyGroup's investigation!"

The security guard kept the reporters outside, and Jane followedPatrick to the CEO's office.

"How do you see this situation?" Patrick asked as he sat down, tappinghis desk with his fingertips.

Without hesitation, Jane replied, “In theory, every step of the “Ice andFire' production undergoes strict scrutiny. It's impossible for radioactiveelements to be present unless someone tampered with it."

“It's not easy to tamper with it," Patrick said, his voice nonchalant.Indeed, Pansy Group's factory had strict security, making it difficult foroutsiders to tamper with the products.

Jane nodded in agreement, "So, I've always thought that the most likelyscenario is someone trying to frame us."

"What do you think, who could it be?" Patrick's voice was clear anddeep.

Jane smiled, "With the crisis facing the “Ice and Fire' from PansyGroup, whoever benefits the most is the most likely culprit behind it."Patrick leaned slightly back into the chair, "I agree with you; LoveJewelry is likely behind this."

"Not ruling out that possibility. In fact, with a quick investigation, weshould be able to get to the bottom of it," Jane raised a corner of herlips.

This matter wasn't challenging to investigate. Just by checking wherethe woman's so-called sister purchased the necklace, verifying if itindeed contained radioactive elements, and determining if someonetampered with it, the truth could be revealed quickly.

Indeed, at this stage, Love Jewelry was the most suspicious. Theprevious plagiarism incident had caused a stir, and while Pansy Grouphad triumphed, Love Jewelry suffered significant damage to itsreputation.

Now, resorting to underhanded tactics to frame Pansy Group wasentirely plausible.

Patrick called in Morton, "Investigate the incident with the “Ice and Fire"necklace and the claim of it containing radioactive elements. Find outwhat happened.”

"Yes, sir,” Morton responded respectfully.

However, bafflingly, before Morton could uncover substantial results,several more cases of poisoning due to wearing “Ice and Fire" jewelryemerged.
