Chapter 674
The reporters present did not leave; instead, they excitedly pushed forward.
Haley threw out a contract and said calmly, "As everyone knows, Star Technical Company recently became a partner of the Vanguard Corporation. During this period..."
She plainly stated that the Lumi Group had become the third partner, then pointed to the contract and said slowly and firmly, "The Vanguard Corporation and the Lumi Group jointly claimed that the chip designed by my company has issues and demanded a compensation of five hundred million dollars. This document has an official seal, but I do not accept it. I will apply for a third-party testing company to conduct tests. Also, I invite all media reporters and netizens to join in the supervision.
"If the results are as stated in this document, I will pay the five hundred million dollars in total. But if the document is entirely false, I expect the Lumi Group and the Vanguard Corporation to publicly apologize to me and compensate Star Technical Company for reputational damage, emotional distress, and loss of working time."
The reporters had not expected it to be a commercial dispute case.
Such disputes usually didn't gain much traction online, but when the protagonist was the most beautiful woman in Watertown, the attention was different.
Some reporters posted the news on the spot, and it quickly became a hot topic.
Haley put down the microphone and was about to leave when she saw a familiar figure standing behind the reporters.
She slowly curled her lips into a faint and ambiguous smile.
Following Haley's gaze, the reporters saw Cauth from the Lumi Group standing there.
"Mr. Lumi, do you have anything to say about this result?" Haley asked calmly, looking at Cauth from a distance.
If she hadn't been so repressed lately, she wouldn't have chosen such a public and intense way to handle this matter.
But Haley really didn't want to get entangled with the Lumi family anymore. She didn't want to consult or find a better solution; she just wanted to vent her anger.
Exposing this matter would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Lumi Group.
But that had nothing to do with her.
Haley's faint smile made Cauth feel a pang of heartache.
He took a step forward and slowly walked over.
The reporters quickly surrounded him.
"Mr. Lumi, is what Mrs. Winston said true?"
"Mr. Lumi, what role did the Lumi Group play in this matter?"
"Mr. Lumi, if you have any evidence to refute this, you can make it public now."
Cauth did not answer the reporters' questions but looked at Haley and slowly bowed. "Ms. Deross, I apologize."
Haley was taken aback.
She had thought Cauth would go to great lengths to protect the Lumi Group's reputation.
She had thought Cauth would accuse her of making baseless claims.
She had also thought Cauth would use that matter to threaten her, preventing her from blowing things up.
Unexpectedly, Cauth simply apologized.
"I am not a senior executive of the Lumi Group, so I can only apologize to Ms. Deross on my behalf."
Cauth's words traveled through the TV screen and Bark saw that.
"Bastard!"
Bark angrily smashed his cup on the ground.
"Dad, calm down," Hollis said, patting his back and curling her lips coldly. "Cauth disregarded the family's interests for the sake of his illegitimate daughter. It's a good thing you didn't hand the company over to Cauth back then."
Bark said coldly, "I shouldn't have handed the company over to you either."
Hollis's face stiffened.
This time, her and the Vanguard Corporation's plan was exposed by Cauth on the spot, causing her to lose credibility with Bark.
