The reporters bombarded Jones with questions, one after another.

“Everyone, please quiet down!” Jones raised his voice slightly. “Here is Eclipse Group’s official statement regarding the incident.”

He paused momentarily, then began reading from a prepared script in a cold, mechanical tone.

“After an internal investigation into claims that the Ice and Fire jewelry line contained radioactive elements, we confirm that certain raw materials stored in Warehouse No. 1 at our Fostrau branch did, in fact, contain

radioactive substances.

“The root cause of this issue lies with the actions of two warehouse managers. Due to personal grievances against the company, they deliberately tampered with the raw materials, introducing radioactive substances as an act of retaliation.As a result, the jewelry produced did not meet safety standards and led to cases of consumer poisoning.

“As for the explosion in Warehouse No. 1, investigations have determined that it was caused by a warehouse manager violating company policy and smoking in a hazardous area. A cigarette butt fell onto highly flammable raw materials, triggering an accidental explosion. The two individuals who tragically lost their lives in the blast have been confirmed to be the same warehouse managers responsible for contaminating the raw materials.”

As soon as Jones finished speaking, murmurs spread through the room.

“That’s it? That’s the whole explanation?”

“Isn’t it just a little too convenient that the two people who tampered with the materials happened to die in -the explosion?”

“Is Eclipse Group hiding something to cover up the truth?”

The conference room grew restless as reporters fired off skeptical questions.
