Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 452 Handling the Crisis

“We are always available for inspection. We keep track of all the materials we order, and we would never use harmful fabrics. We have a long history of working with various significant corporations and schools, and we have never used low-quality products.”

Following Wayne’s script, Anna declared her opinion and denied the rumors online at a news conference.

One of the reporters asked Anna, “More than ten of your employees were diagnosed with leukemia, and you fired them all after learning about it. How can you explain this?”

Anna straightened up and became more serious. She slapped a pile of materials on the table, saying, “After the incident happened, we did medical examinations for all staff. Here is the medical certificate issued by the hospital. All of the employees are healthy, and no one has leukemia.”

As Anna held up the folder in her hand, she heard the shutter sound and saw the flashlights illuminating the entire venue. She then said, holding out a CD, “This is surveillance footage of our factory floor, which clearly explains the reason why I fired them. We always follow standard production procedures, and we will fire those employees who do not obey the rules.”

“Itis reasonable to assume that our peers did this. Here is the personal information of all the employees involved in this incident, and they are all newcomers who joined the company less than a month ago. Employees who have been here for a long time are in good health, but the newcomers are all suffering from leukemia. This is quite suspicious.” 451 Handling the Crisis:

After saying that, Anna slammed the folder down on the table, causing the audience on stage to shiver. Reporters began to whisper and discuss their ideas, and Anna glared at them coldly. She appeared determined, but her hands beneath the table grew as frigid as ice.

“Really? Who do you think did this?” When the reporter asked another question, he had already shifted the subject.

Anna said quietly, breathing a sigh of relief, “We dare not speculate on this. We’re still looking into the event, and we don’t have much evidence. However, | assure you, we always do our best to be the best we can be and to maintain our reputation. We won’t slander others for no reason.”

“Then will you make the truth public if you continue your investigation?”

“Of course. I’ll share the proof | brought today on Lemon’s social platform account later, and we welcome everyone to find out the truth with us.”

Anna was firm and did not try to conceal anything. What she said turned almost the entire situation around, Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sitting not far away in the audience, Wayne smiled as he looked at this eloquent woman. He was genuinely proud of her.

To everyone’s surprise, someone barged in all of a sudden, interrupting Anna’s speech. Everyone in the audience turned to look at him after hearing his hasty footsteps

“What a bunch of rubbish! She’s lying!” An angry man said. It was a tall, skinny man in his forties. Wearing a light gray suit and holding a worn briefcase in his hand, he rapidly stepped into the crowd.

Anna was taken aback because she knew this man. He was Owen, the president of Flower Orphanage in Birmingham.

“Three months ago, we ordered clothing for the children from Lemon. 451 Handling the Crisis

We thought the smell of the clothes was peculiar when we first got them. However, we decided to believe Lemon. We didn’t realize what was going on until we saw the news yesterday. You’re using low-

quality fabric!”

Owen said as he took a light blue T-shirt from his briefcase. On the hangtag of the wrinkled T-shirt, there was Lemon’s logo. Then the press began photographing the shirt right away.

Owen tossed a report to the ground amid the sound of the shutter and said, “Here are the clothing test results! Take a look at this frightening data! Two children in my orphanage have already had health problems, but you’re still ying! The truth will be made public one day. You will receive the punishment you deserve!”

He then left the scene with tears in his eyes.

After the conference was over, Anna got to the Wright house with Wayne. Exhausted, Anna sat on the Wright’s sofa. She cupped her hands about her face for a brief minute, her gaze locked on the empty glass of red wine on the coffee table.

The breeze blew through the hall, carrying the aroma of flowers from the yard. Anna felt desperate as she wrapped her cardigan around her body. She thought, Damn it! / could’ve turned the tide if it weren’t for Owen! Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on? Why did these bad things happen all at once? There must be someone behind the incidents. And I’m gonna find out who they are!

While Anna was immersed in her own thoughts, Wayne walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water, which he replaced in front of Anna’s glass of red wine. The glass clinking against the marble countertop brought her back to reality. She raised her head and smiled at her.

“How come there’s no light in the yard? This place is a maze! Won’t 451 Handling the Crisis the maids get lost as well?” Suddenly, Anna heard Selina’s voice come from the courtyard.

A girl in a pink dress ran in before Anna could stand up to greet them. “Mommy. Grandaunt Selina doesn’t know the way here! We got lost and went around the yard for a long time. | advised that she

ask for directions from someone, but she refused. She assured me that she would find you Granduncle Joe was right about it!” Tammy whimpered as she pressed her cute little face on Anna’s hand.

“What did he say?” Stroking her hair, Anna asked in a soft voice.

Tammy chuckled and whispered in Anna’s ear.

“Ha! He really said that?” Leaning backward, Anna exclaimed

Just then, Selina reached out and pointed to Tammy and made a resigned face.

“Daddy, Grandma Selina wants to talk to you,” Tammy said, blinking.

Wayne looked up in surprise as he noticed Selina staring at him. “Let’s go to the study and chat,” he said, pointing to the stairs.

Anna watched as Wayne and Selina walked upstairs one after the other. She was confused and began to wonder what the two would say. But then alittle pair of hands grabbed her face, utterly stopping her thoughts.

“Mommy, | told Grandaunt Selina to talk to daddy because | have something important to tell you.”

Anna blinked, surprised to notice Tammy’s serious expression. She had a horrible feeling and took out her phone to switch it off before asking, “Did you beat up Martin again?”

“No, Mommy! It has absolutely nothing to do with him!” 451 Handling the Crisis

Anna breathed a sigh of relief, “Great. If that’s the case, Peace will never let me go. So, what exactly did you want to tell me?”

“I’m hoping you’ll come shopping with me tomorrow. It’s Grandaunt Selina’s birthday in a few days, and I’d like to get her a gift,” Tammy said, pulling a wallet from her schoolbag and showing Anna the three cards and some change inside.

“| want to buy something that Grandma Selina likes and that | can afford,” She said as she showed the cards to Anna. Tammy blinked her big blue eyes and looked as cute as an angel, so Anna couldn’t help but kiss heron the cheek. Meanwhile, she thought, Tammy, you sweet little angel. You always know how to make me feel better.

“Mommy, you’re getting spit on my face.” Tammy took Anna’s cardigan and wiped her face with it.

Selina and Wayne talked for a long time. When the two returned from upstairs, Tammy was asleep in Anna’s bed. Anna was intently watching her from the bedroom doorway.

Selina looked around the room and noticed Tammy rolling from one side of the two-meter-wide bed to the other. She smiled amiably and left the house.

Then Wayne took a few steps forward and leaned against the other side of the bedroom door. Still dreaming, Tammy had rolled back by this point. “No!” she exclaimed, “I don’t want to go to school!”

Abit surprised, Wayne asked Anna, “What are we going to do about ite”

“rll stay with her, and you sleep in the guest room,” Anna answered
