Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 584

Hearing what happened, Amelia's heart ached. "My father... never mentioned that to me."

Seeing that she was clueless about it, Jonathan sighed, "You must have just entered high school at that time. Your father didn't want to affect your studies."

Amelia suppressed the unease in her heart and asked, "And then what happened?"

Jonathan said, "Then, your father held a press conference right away and apologized. He also personally passed the pensions to every victim's family. Back then, news and technology weren't as advanced. Moreover, it wasn't your father and the company who were at complete fault, the bridge design itself had its problems. So, that was why the incident didn't blow up. After your father's apology, he began to compensate in the name of the company. Eventually, the incident was forgotten."

Amelia said with faint wishful thinking, "I hope... we can land on our feet just like my father did back then."

Jonathan only expressed gravely, "Now that Apex Construction Corporation has grown into the leader of the construction industry, many competitors in the same field are anticipating our downfall. Some of them may have even hired people to stir up trouble about us on the Internet!"

Amelia became cautious. "I get it, Uncle Tucker. The sooner this press conference is held, the better for us to control the situation!"

Jonathan replied, "You can say that."

Amelia initiated, "Then, should I go back and prepare a speech now?"

Jonathan responded, "Yes, try to make it sound as heartfelt as possible. And one more thing, never copy from the internet. If the netizens find out, you'll be underfire."

Amelia nodded and said, "I'll write it from my heart."

Jonathan continued, "Just in case, you can send me a copy first. I'll help to do polishing for you."

"That's great! Thank you, Uncle Tucker," Amelia expressed her gratitude.

Jonathan waved his hand to show his courtesy and added, "Controlling the public opinion is one part of it. The failed project in the development zone is the fatal part of this incident because all the funds we borrowed from the bank have been lost!"
