I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 409 In the Dark

"Are you sure each batch has been thoroughly inspected?" Benjamin asked.

"I'm sure," Harper affirmed. "The supplier also needs to investigate quickly. This matter has escalated. If the Martin Group is found to have used non-compliant steel bars, all our properties and buildings will be questioned. It's not just about the impact on the Martin Group anymore. We will be in great trouble." Benjamin was aware of it, so he had been trying to stay calm, attempting to downplay the situation and communicate with the victim's family before investigating whether this was an accident or intentional.

He walked up to Harper with a serious expression.

Harper asked, "Will this trouble the Martin Group?"

Benjamin replied, "Depends on how things are developing. The victim's family is unwilling to settle privately. They've applied for an official investigation into this project. It seems like we'll have to halt construction for now." "What should we do?" Harper was worried.

"We wait," Benjamin said.

"Wait?" Harper didn't understand.

Benjamin explained, "We can only wait for the heat of this matter to die down before we can take action. Otherwise, whatever we do, good or bad, will be overly interpreted by the media. If this wasn't just an accident, those lurking in the shadows want to see us react recklessly now, giving them an opportunity."
