She Is A CEO

Chapter 1032 Clearing Her Name

"It's you who have to explain it yourself." Lucia smiled brightly and said, "Actually, if you want to help them, do it secretly. When you insist on explaining it clearly, it makes them kneel down. They're all older than me, and it really embarrassed me."

"Of course I have to. Otherwise, they won't recognize good people." Arthur said as it should.

Lucia giggled, buried her head in Arthur's arms and said, "After the press conference, it's up to him how to deal with it."

"Let's wait and see," Arthur said with a smile, too.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a grand press conference was held in the conference hall of Webbex Group. Blake, as the main speaker, was responsible for answering reporters' questions, while Lucia sat aside and remained silent, leaving everything to Blake.

"My friends from the press, I am Blake Mills from Vian Construction Engineering Corporation." Blake had been interviewed by a TV station before, but it was the first time he had faced such a scene. Even though he was nervous, he insisted on saying,

"Two weeks ago, an engineering clerk from our company told us that we should directly pursue the responsibility to Webbex Group after learning about the wage arrears incident, and suggested that we gather and demonstrate in front of Webbex Group. We are all used to being busy on the construction site. So, we don't understand the issue of company affiliation, and listened to his words and launched this mass demonstration. Later, we found out that the clerk was instructed by Webbex Group's competitor to deliberately use us to frame Ms. Webb. Now we know the truth, so we solemnly tell everyone the facts. Webbex Group has nothing to do with Vian Construction Engineering Corporation's wage arrears, and we also sincerely apologize to Webbex Group, Ms. Webb, sorry!"

Lucia smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, as long as things are cleared up."

At this time, the reporters became restless. The workers were still gathering outside the Webbex Group this morning, and now they changed the topic. This change was too big, so everyone started to ask questions.

"Mr. Mills, you said someone ordered it on purpose. Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes," Blake took out his phone, which had already saved a recording. He put the phone close to the microphone and played it. It was the part where Carlos called to report. After the recording was played, he explained,

"The clerk was being manipulated by someone and made a secret phone call to the mastermind behind the scenes while our colleagues were sleeping at the construction site. He didn't know that I was following him, and when I discovered something unusual, I recorded this conversation. Today, all of us workers have come together to apologize to Webbex Group for this misunderstanding."

With audio evidence and the truth now proven, reporters began changing their line of questioning.

"So where is this clerk now, and what do you plan on doing with him?"

"We've already expelled him from the construction site. We don't know where he went after that," Blake answered as per Kane's instructions.

"Ms. Webb," another reporter asked Lucia, "since it's been determined that someone intentionally framed you all, have you found out who did it?"

Lucia leaned forward slightly before answering, "Unfortunately, once Mr. Mills and his team discovered something suspicious about the clerk's behavior, they expelled him from the worksite. Now we can only prove our innocence; there's no way for us to continue investigating further."

As soon as Lucia finished speaking, Blake continued, "Ms. Webb has high moral character; she not only didn't blame us when she found out we were being used, but also helped us find a lawyer to get back our unpaid wages. All of us workers are very grateful to her - thank you Ms. Webb!"

Kane hadn't instructed Blake to say these words but he felt it was necessary.

Lucia smiled apologetically, "It's nothing - you guys are victims too."

The matter of unpaid wages had taken an unexpected turn during this press conference. After hearing about how Lucia repaid evil with kindness by helping them get their wages back, the public realized that they had wrongly accused the Webbex Group. Within just one afternoon, its stock prices skyrocketed uncontrollably.

This was what Lucia did best - winning people over through her good deeds.

However, things may seem like they were going well for everyone involved, but there was someone who became furious upon hearing this news.

In Casper's office at Stand Hill headquarters, he watched related news reports on Webex Group with an increasingly darkening mood.

Leon felt his heart racing as if in fear. Due to Casper's frightening demeanor, finally he was unable to bear any longer and picked up remote control turning off TV screen before saying, "Boss...don't be angry..."

Leon's words seemed like fuel added onto fire, causing Casper's anger explode into flames as he snatched away Leon's remote control then smashed it against TV screen while cursing loudly, "How could I not be angry?! We were so close! And yet still got overturned by Lucia!"

Leon bravely withstood Casper's anger and carefully said,

"At the end of the day, it's all Sage's fault. He was caught red-handed and he wasn't careful enough."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The Sage mentioned by Leon was none other than Carlos.

When it came to Sage, Casper temporarily suppressed his anger and asked,

"Where is he now? Those foremen have already sided with Lucia. I can't believe everything I hear on TV. I need to ask him myself what really happened at that time!"

"He hasn't come back yet, and I don't know..." Leon was answering when he heard a knock on the door. He walked over to open it and immediately widened his eyes upon seeing who it was. "Sage?!"

In front of him, the scarred Sage was supported by two subordinates, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Sage?" Casper heard a voice and turned his head, seeing Sage at once. "What's going on?"

Leon immediately waved his hand to instruct his subordinate to lift Sage onto the sofa. At this point, Sage was having difficulty breathing and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Casper was indifferent to his subordinates' injuries. He just wanted to figure out what had happened. Lucia knew the truth: whether it was the foreman who got caught or there were other hidden reasons behind it?

Sage took a deep breath and then spoke pitifully, as if he had gathered his strength to explain,

"Boss, I'm useless. I was found by Blake when I was calling you."

"They grabbed me and beat me up. My leg was broken. Later, they tied me up at the construction site, and they planned to take me to plead guilty to Lucia, but I broke free from the rope and ran out." "But because of the heavy injuries, I passed out near the construction site. I just woke up and immediately called Sean to pick me up... It's not that I escaped, I may have been handed over to Lucia now!"

Casper had doubts about Blake's statement on TV, but after hearing Sage's words, he finally understood that Blake and his team did not intentionally exile him. Instead, he accidentally escaped from them. Sage's injuries also confirmed this point.
