It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 174

They had a sleepless night. The mine office was brightly lit. Sitting in the chair in silence, Malcolm looked at the draft press release about the landslide and radiation at the Evans Group Mine on the computer screen. He just looked at it and casually put it aside. Enoch took over the task and set it aside after confirming that the press release was correct. There would be a press conference in South Africa tomorrow.

“And the other things?” » Malcolm suddenly asked.

Enoch was stunned for a moment and didn’t understand what Malcolm meant. He looked at Malcolm and suddenly understood. He nodded. Malcolm was talking about Lucia’s funeral. Since Lucia and Malcolm got married, a series of things had happened. Lucia had not yet been listed in the Evans family pedigree. Malcolm wanted to officially announce it to the public at the funeral.

“We are preparing. We can start as soon as we get home,” Enoch said.

“Inform the brothers and sisters of the young family,” Malcolm said indifferently.

“I know,” Enoch promised.

The brother and sister of The Young family should be Lucia’s only good friends while she was alive. Aside from them, Malcolm couldn’t find anyone else related to Lucia. Only now did he realize how little he knew about Lucia. Maybe he had never really entered Lucia’s heart. There was a rare self-deprecation on his face.

The morning in South Africa was unusually calm. It was already dawn. The two days without sleep made everyone a little haggard, and even Malcolm was no exception. The originally straight shirt was wrinkled, and the suit was stained with dust, which could not be cleaned. “Malcolm, go freshen

up . There will be a press conference later,” Enoch said quietly, frowning at Malcolm.

“Okay. Tell everyone to rest. We’ll meet at the press conference at nine, Malcolm ordered lightly.

So Enoch turned and left. Malcolm entered the break room adjoining the office. He carefully took the anklet out of his pocket and placed it carefully on the black bedside table. He stared at her for a long time, as if he were staring at Lucia. Then he took out a black flannel box and put the anklet in it. Then he turned around and headed towards the bathroom.

During the cold winter, Malcolm turned on the cold water and soaked himself. But he couldn’t feel the coldness. Now that his heart was dead, there was nothing colder than his heart. After a long time, he took a bath towel and dried his body. Then he came out of the bathroom naked and casually chose a formal black suit from the wardrobe. After freshening up, Malcolm no longer looked haggard, and his eyes returned to their usual sternness and coldness.

However, the dark expression on his face was frightening. When Enoch saw Malcolm, he had already changed into a formal black suit, making him appear less frivolous and more composed. The two brothers get in the car and head towards the hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, Calvin was already waiting at the door. Even Byron wore a formal suit at the venue, which was rare to see. Glancing at Calvin, Malcolm motioned for him to begin his report.

“The reporters have all arrived. General Manager Moore Walker has already held a press conference at home. All the materials are ready.” After saying this, Calvin respectfully handed over the prepared file bag.

After grabbing the file bag, Malcolm took out the documents and quickly looked through them. After confirming that everything was fine, he entered the room. Calvin sighed and lightly wiped the sweat from his forehead. Today, Malcolm was so gloomy that Calvin was shaking all over. He had already known what happened in the warehouse yesterday, but today there was no trace of sadness on Malcolm’s face. It was even darker and colder than usual.

Calvin made up his mind and silently prayed that no brainless reporter would come and ask Malcolm questions that shouldn’t be asked. If there really was such a reckless idiot, Calvin really doubted he would be able to leave the room unharmed. Without thinking much, Calvin quickly caught up with Malcolm and entered the room.

The room was full of journalists from various countries, and they were whispering among themselves. When the door opened and Malcolm’s figure appeared in the room, everyone was silent. All eyes were on Malcolm, who was known as a cold-blooded CEO in the business world. His inside-out domineering ways were enough to suppress everyone present.

Calvin quickly stepped forward and pulled out a chair for Malcolm to take his place in the middle of the stage. On the other hand, Enoch was the host of today’s press conference. All members of the South African mining team attended the press conference. Such an arrangement could prove that the Evans group attached great importance to this press conference.

“First of all, thank you everyone for coming. Considering the radiation and the landslide in the mine, the Evans group holds a press conference to explain everything. After that, feel free to ask your own questions and we’ll answer them. But please don’t bring up issues that have nothing to do with mine. If you break the rule, then I’m sorry we have no choice but to ask you to leave.” Enoch’s opening remark did not sound gentle, but seemed unusually strong

. The journalists present whispered to each other and then calmed down. Enoch looked around. He did not continue speaking until the journalists had calmed down.

“First of all, South Africa’s most reputable hospital gave us a radiation medical identification report. The dead miners had been infected by radiation before they started working in our mine. As for The source of the radiation is still unknown, but we can rule out the possibility that there is radiation in our mine. There have been two landslides. The first was due to fierce competition in South Africa. body bomb exploded in the mine, causing the pit to collapse. The second landslide was a chain reaction started by the first. That’s our entire explanation for what happened in the mine.” After a pause, Enoch looked at everyone present and continued: “Of course, spoken expressions cannot be taken as evidence. The evidence will be copied and handed over to you. The original files are played on the projection screen for so that everyone present can watch them. The rest of the time is for free questions.” Enoch quickly finished the explanation.

He hid certain facts that were not necessary to be known to others. In another way, he explained the reason why the pit collapsed, half true and half false. The impeccable words have made people unable to find faults.

At the same time, Calvin, who was waiting aside, ordered the staff to distribute the prepared materials to everyone. Soon the copied documents were in the hands of the journalists present. After everyone looked at them, they started whispering to each other. After looking at them, Enoch returned to sit next to Malcolm and sat down.

“Sir. Malcolm Evans, what kind of compensation will the Evans Group make for the miners who died in the landslides?” A reporter asked the

most realistic question. If the Evans Group exaggerated the compensation, the public would not believe their sincerity. If the number was not reasonable, it would inevitably cause an uproar. It was a difficult question. There would be different effects with different answers. “

For the dead miners, the Evans group will compensate a million dollars for each of them. As for minors who were injured and treated, we will be responsible for their treatment until the hospital announces that they could be discharged. We will pay full wages during their injury. After recovery, they are always welcome to return to work in our group. I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer,” Malcolm said in a cold tone.

Those present heard that the Evans Group made such generous compensation, and there was another round of discussions. When the Everyone’s eyes fell on Malcolm, his natural majesty made everyone believe that what he said would definitely turn into reality.

Then Malcolm and the mining team responded to various questions from the reporters. And they also explained the precautions to be taken against similar incidents in the future. The press conference ended in a harmonious atmosphere. Seeing that the scene had returned to peace, Enoch took the conclusion.

“As for the press release, it will be sent to your email address after the press conference. Thank you all again for coming here. Today’s press conference is over,” said Enoch calmly.

The journalists left the scene one after another. Only people from the Evans group remained. The remaining staff quickly made a summary based on the actual situation of today’s press conference. After Malcolm confirmed there was no mistake in his signature, the press release was sent to media mailboxes.

The next day there were all positive reports in the newspaper. The media clarified the errors in previous reports and apologized to the Evans group. The Evans Group’s rapid response and public relations capabilities to the crisis caused the outcry in the city to subside overnight. It seemed like everything had returned to its original track as if nothing had happened.

In contrast, only the Evans family brothers knew how much effort they had to put in to achieve the result. However, no matter how hard he tried, Malcolm could not get Lucia back. Lucia was the most innocent victim of this war.

After all the problems were resolved, Malcolm returned to Strinas with only Lucia’s anklet. He locked himself in the apartment where they had lived together. He didn’t come out for a whole week. He stared at every corner of the apartment, feeling Lucia’s aura. He missed everything that had ever changed, including everything that had been left behind by Lucia.

However, what was lost was already lost and could no longer be found. It was a sleepless night in South Africa. Lucia would always live in his heart, and no one could replace her.
