My Mute Bride

Chapter 271 Causing a Rift

After leaving the hospital, the two of them didn’t bother to return home. Instead, they called their housekeeper and instructed her to take care of the two children before heading straight to the company. If such a big issue had happened on the construction site, there was definitely going to be a problem.

Sure enough, within just an hour, the news had spread and the internet was embroiled in discourse. “President Burton, news of the demolition crew beating people up is already trending.”

As soon as Justin entered the company, the head of the Public Relations department came up to him. “We called the media to try to remove the trending topics, but we couldn’t stop the major platforms from going live one after another. It was already way too late.”

Justin asked, “How are things at the hospital?”

“Frankie still hasn’t received any news yet.”

“First, make a statement and say that the Burton Group will take full responsibility for this incident. Compensate them and issue an apology. If the head of the household does not agree to the demolition in the end, then we will never touch his house.”

“Uh…” The head of the Public Relations department looked stiff. “President Burton, isn’t that too conclusive?”

In all previous crises, the Public Relations department issued a statement as soon as they happened, but they always left a loophole, and they didn’t make things too certain in case the situation came back to bite them in the future. The Phase Three Land project was finalized a long time ago. If the holdouts truly refused to relocate, the subsequent projects would not be able to proceed at all, and they would suffer a great loss.

Rachel, who had been following Justin, advised, “Mr. Clark, you should do as President Burton said first. If you’re still worried, you can bring the draft statement over and show it to me once you’re done.”

“All right.”

The head of the Public Relations department cast a grateful look at Rachel. With Rachel controlling these measures, even if something happened in the future, there would be someone else who could share the responsibility. Everyone in the company knew the relationship between Rachel and Justin, and that this guarantee was basically equivalent to an exemption from the death penalty—or in other words, getting fired.

As they followed him into the office, Justin was calling Frankie. With his tall figure, the man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a white gauze on the back of his head that was still faintly seeping with blood.

“How are they? Alright. Let’s talk after you get back.”
