Chapter 115 Radioactive elements
Following behind the security guard, Nora walked to the main entrance.
She saw that a group of people was gathering around the front door, along with many reporters with cameras.
Seeing Nora come out, a man pointed at her and said loudly, "It's her. It's her. I've seen her on TV. She's Nora, the person in charge of the 'Ice and Fire' project."
The crowd of people all gathered around Nora.
"What's going on?" Nora asked with a slight frown.
The reporters scrambled to interview Nora, "Miss Smith, may I ask what you think about the revelation that the materials of the Hawn Group's 'Ice and Fire' series are substandard and contain radioactive elements?"
"Miss Smith, may I ask if the Hawn Group cut corners and used materials containing radioactive elements in order to save costs, which led to someone being poisoned after wearing 'Ice and Fire' jewelry?"
Questions after questions bombarded Nora and she took a deep breath.
"Ice and Fire" jewelry containing radioactive elements?
How could this be possible?
The raw materials of the Hawn Group were under strict control and there would not be such a fatal mistake.
Unless... someone deliberately set them up.
But Nora wasn't quite sure what was going on yet. Everything would have to wait for a detailed investigation.
She said calmly, "Please be quiet. Our company's products are strictly inspected and confirmed to be qualified before they are sold, and there is absolutely no way that they contain any radioactive elements. I believe that this is a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" A middle-aged woman in a gorgeous and fashionable dress came up to Nora, "My sister was poisoned after she bought the 'Ice and Fire' necklace and wore it. She is still lying at the hospital. The doctor said that she might die if she went to the hospital a few days later! How could it be a misunderstanding?"
"Ma'am, your sister may have been poisoned for a variety of reasons, which may not necessarily be related to our company's products." Nora said in a cold voice.
"Of course it's related to your company!" The middle-aged woman had an angry look on her face, "The doctor has already examined my sister and it is radioactive element intoxication, which originated from your 'Ice and Fire' necklace! I have the test results here to prove that your necklace contains radioactive elements!"
The man next to the middle-aged woman held a pile of paper in his hand, "Everyone, come and take a look, this is a copy of the test results which clearly states that the necklace of the Hawn Group contains radioactive elements, which can cause poisoning and in serious cases, death! We spent so much money on the Hawn Group's jewelry, only to end up in the hospital suffering from intoxication! The Hawn Group is making money with a bad conscience, and they deserve to be punished!"
"That's right, we have to get an explanation for this today!" The middle-aged woman and the man echoed each other.
Nora took a look at the test results in the man's hand, but it was hard to tell whether they were true or not. The most urgent thing at the moment was to find out what was happening.
She cleared her throat and said in a deep voice, "We will definitely look into this matter. Before the matter is concluded, I hope you can cooperate with us. Why don't you go back for now? I will immediately send someone to check with you to see if the necklaces you purchased are really faulty. If there is really a problem with our company, we will definitely give you a satisfactory solution."
"Of course there is really a problem!" The middle-aged woman pointed at Nora aggressively, "Don't you think about delaying it. We are not leaving until you, the Hawn Group, give us an explanation today!"
Nora wrinkled her brow and was about to speak when a cold and stern voice came out, "The Hawn Group will definitely find out the truth and provide you with an explanation by then!"
Nora looked up and saw Asher walking towards her with a calm and steady pace.
When the reporters saw Asher, they gathered around, "Mr. Hawn, what do you think about what happened today? Has the Hawn Group really used substandard raw materials to produce the 'Ice and Fire' jewelry?"
Asher's eyebrows knitted slightly, his handsome face cold and stern, "I can only say that our company has always been adhering to the principle of customer first, striving to bring customers the best products, and has never used substandard raw materials.
As for this matter today, I will have someone check it out. If it is indeed the Hawn Group's mistake, we are responsible for it and will definitely give the consumers a satisfactory solution."
After a pause, his tone became more stern, "If it is found that someone has framed the Hawn Group, we will definitely make them pay the price they deserve!"
In the face of Asher's powerful aura, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but take a step back, "Okay, we'll wait for the results of your investigation then!"
The security guards stopped the reporters outside the door and Nora followed Asher to the president's office.
"What do you think about this case?" Asher sat down, tapping his knuckles on the desk.
Nora answered without thinking, "In principle, every step of the production of 'Ice and Fire' is strictly checked and it is impossible for any radioactive elements to occur unless someone has secretly tampered with it."
"It's not easy to tamper with it." Asher said calmly.
Indeed, the Hawn Group's factories were always in strict order, so it was difficult for outsiders to get in and do something.
Nora nodded approvingly, "So, I presume that the biggest possibility is that someone fabricated the charge against us."
"And who do you think it could be?" Asher's voice was clear and low.
Nora smiled, "Whoever benefits the most from a crisis in the Hawn Group's 'Ice and Fire' is the most likely person behind it."
Asher leaned back slightly against the back of his chair, "I'm thinking the same thing as you do. It's most likely that L'amour Jewelry is behind this."
"That is possible. In fact, if we check it out, we should be able to find out soon." Nora said.
In fact, it was not difficult to investigate this matter. They only needed to find out where the woman's so-called sister's necklace was purchased, whether it really contained radioactive elements, and whether the necklace had been tampered with, they would soon be able to find out the truth!
Indeed, at this stage, L'amour Jewelry was the most suspicious, after all, the previous plagiarism incident was a big deal while the Hawn Group won a big victory and L'amour Jewelry was greatly injured because of the plagiarism.
It was possible that they set up the Hawn Group with a dirty trick.
Asher called for Clark, "Go find out about the radioactive elements in this 'Ice and Fire' necklace today."
"Yes, sir." Clark answered respectfully.
However, what was incredible was that before Clark could find any substantive results, several more cases of poisoning from wearing "Ice and Fire" jewelry suddenly broke out.
