Chapter 849
Ignoring Waverly, Anthony went straight to the garage and drove out in his car.
As reporters ran up to his vehicle and attempted to surround him, Anthony stepped on the gas pedal harshly to its limit, not once releasing it. Terrified, the paparazzi evaded the car, not daring to block him again.
Waverly watched on with fury, eyes cold with bitterness.
'Anthony had just been in the house for an entire day, yet he can’t sit still just because Charmine is in trouble? Just how deep is he in love with Charmine?'
However, the thought of it made her smirk coldly.
She wanted to see how Charmine would settle the issue under such pressure!
At the site...
Charmine had sent her men over to negotiate with the families of the dead, be it money or any other forms-they were free to bring it up.
However, none of them accepted the offer. Tens of children and women bewailed their faith. A few elders were on their knees, burning candles, making the entire site chaotic.
Adam said to Charmine, "Charmine, you should head back to the company. We’ll settle the things on the site. They’re way too agitated right now."
"No, I must meet them personally."
Charmine headed out of the office and walked straight to the site.
The moment she stepped out, the security guards immediately went up and protected her, afraid that she might be injured.
Some even asked, "Director Jordan, do you want to forcibly chase them out?"
"No. You guys just stand here. You all don't have to follow."
Charmine stopped everyone and headed alone toward those children and women who were crying.
She knew that gazes were turned her way. If she brought the security guards over by force, no one would know for sure what sort of articles would be written.
Above all, she sincerely sympathized with the families of the victims.
Since she was young, because of her status as an orphan, she always wished to have a family that truly belonged to her. After the incident that occurred five years ago, she became more sentimental about matters regarding families.
13 broken families were placed in front of her. They were the fathers of many children...
As the director, she had the responsibility to comfort them and settle the issue.
However...
As soon as she walked over, those who were crying immediately stared at her.
"How dare you still show up?! What right do you have to visit them?!"
"You're just a woman. Just say if you don't know how to operate a company or manage one. Why bother trying to act tough?!"
"It's about so many human lives here! Your faulty management caused them to die, just like that!"
Sobs were heard as words followed, "You must return my husband to me! Return him to me!"
There was a lady who cried and went forth. She grabbed onto Charmine's collar and kept slapping at her.
Charmine did not dodge it and just stood calmly, allowing the lady to beat her.
Her gaze glanced at the group of ladies who were crying and said, "Will beating me ease your family? If your husbands are in heaven watching this, will they be willing to see you guys in such a state right now?"
It was supposed to be just an ordinary comment, yet her voice was crystal clear that resonated in their souls.
All the ladies came to a pause.
if our husbands are in heaven watching this, will they be willing to see US in such a state right now?’
'Of course not... Of course they can’t stand it. Our husbands will only wish for us to live a better life, taking a huge sum of money, and have a peaceful life.'
'Besides, beating Charmine is indeed useless; futile.'
They were initially apprehensive to come to the site and wail of their fate.
However...
There was a lady who suddenly thought of something. Her expression became very fierce.
"Stop talking all this rubbish to us! If it's not for you failing to manage your company, how can this thing even happen?"
"I don't want your money. No matter how much money it is, I don’t want it. I just want you to pay with your life! Give me my husband's life!"
That lady got agitated and picked up a stone on the floor, attempting to smash it against Charmine's head aggressively.
Charmine was about to evade it but before she could even do so, a huge hand suddenly pulled her into a broad and firm chest.
Raising her gaze, her eyelids fluttered in shock.
'Anthony! It really is Anthony!'
'Why is he here?!1 'This is a public scene, and there are lots of reporters hiding around. How could he...?'
