Chapter 192 It May Not Necessarily A Good Thing To Meet Up

In truth, Penny and the executive staff had already predicted this result. After all, an accident

happening at the construction site was the sole responsibility of the person in charge which in this case

was Penny.

She spoke up as she stared at the sternlooking Luke, "Mr. Harper, I won't shirk my responsibilities. Our

company has already prepared a plan to reimburse the injured workers. We hope things will blow over

soon so we can get back to work as soon as possible."

Luke sneered. "Get back to work? You must be joking! Not only will you have to reimburse the workers,

your construction is to go on hiatus indefinitely!"

Indefinite hiatus!

Penny and the executives were shocked and speechless. Although the Asiatic construction site had

had an accident and several workers had been injured, nobody had actually died. It was not a

particularly severe incident and neither was it a minor one.

Under normal circumstances, the company would have to compensate the injured workers but that was

it. MEM would not have punished them so severely. At the end of the day, all construction sites would

have some minor mishaps or another. As long as the issue was resolved, everything would be fine. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

But, Luke was actually demanding Cross Corporation to go on indefinite hiatus.

Penny guickly tried to explain, "Mr. Harper, the Asiatic shopping mall project is a very important

developmental project. If we go on indefinite hiatus, that will hinder our progress very badly.”

Luke cut her off, "Don't worry, I'll hand in a proposal to our director and the mayor about canceling the

agreement with Cross Corporation and handing the project to another company. Your company has lost

the right to continue with this project."

Penny's face went pale and she uttered in a trembling voice, "Mr. Harper..."

Before she could say anything more, the man had already stood up. Snorting, he threw out one last

sentence, "You'd better watch out!”

With that, he strode out with his team.

The executives and Penny felt that the world was ending as they wondered what to do next. Just then,

Nathan came in.

Taking in the despondent look on everyone's faces, he frowned as he asked, "What happened?"

When Penny finished explaining what had happened earlier, he was flabbergasted. "Nobody died in

this incident and it's a relatively common workplace accident. MEM is being a little harsh, aren't they?

Unless Luke Harper is coming after our company deliberately?" His eyes narrowed at the thought.

She hesitated before whispering, "The rumor Grandpa heard about the mayor wanting to hand the

project over to another company was supposedly from Luke Harper."

Picking up the folder thrown on the table, he flipped through it quickly. The report basically confirmed

what Penny had said.

A sneer crossed his lips. Those bastards had not even bothered to investigate the real reason behind

the accident. Instead, they purposely magnified a minor issue and was going to punish the company

heavily because of that.

He turned to everyone else and reassured them, "Leave this matter to me. I'll talk to the director of

MEM personally."

He went into his office after leaving the meeting room. Even though he had no actual position in the

company, Penny had given him the title of Chief Advisor and set aside a personal office for his use.

Pulling out his phone, he dialed Russell Crow's number. "Who's in charge of MEM?"

Russell's voice was nervous as he answered, "Luther Ortis!" "Get him to come and meet me at Cross

Corporation. Tell him I want to have tea

with him."

With that, he hung up.

When the director of MEM, Luther Ortis, received a call from the mayor saying Nathan Cross wanted to

have tea with him, he was ecstatic. He immediately selected the best tea he had in his collection and

had his driver take him to Cross Corporation.

He was one of the few people in Channing who knew Nathan's real identity. What an honor it was to

have tea with the General of the North Army!

The poor man would soon come to realize that was not necessarily a good thing
