Chapter 2072 The Situation

Mike appeared to have suddenly remembered something and remained silent for a prolonged period.

An eerie calm settled between them.

Seeing that Mike did not respond, Bella assumed he had accepted the situation by default. Therefore, she did not continue the conversation, nor was she able to.

On the other hand, Mike seemed to be burdened with a heavy heart.

In the past, if persuasion proved ineffective, he would likely take action to alleviate Bella’s despondency.

However, at that moment, he felt that doing nothing might be the best course of action.

Meanwhile, Elisa entered the elevator, watching as the floor numbers slowly ascended, feeling somewhat disoriented.

Inside the elevator, she and Gareth also contemplated the issue of an inside job.

Normally, even if Gareth himself were to visit Benett Corporation, he would be asked if he had an appointment, let alone a stranger.

Under such circumstances, it was difficult to believe that no one within Benett Corporation was assisting the migrant workers in reaching the top floor.

Of course, that was not the most pressing matter they had to consider at that moment.

The most important thing was to handle the current mess and then provide an explanation to society.

As for those insiders, they could deal with them later.

Inside the elevator, Elisa also confirmed that all the previous compensation payments had been received.

Therefore, it was likely that the worker on the upper floor had been bribed to say the things he said.

Even the group downstairs had probably been bribed.

After sorting out all the details, Gareth said, “I’m just concerned that person has malicious intentions.”

Elisa’s eyes also reflected a serious expression..

In fact, she had anticipated this situation before she arrived.

After all, Elisa personally oversaw the project funds, which were of utmost importance, so there was no way such an issue could arise. Initially, the issue only lies with these so-called laborers who claim they haven’t received their wages. The situation should be resolved because I’ve already paid the money. So, what is their purpose in causing more trouble? No matter how intense the dispute becomes, everything will be resolved as soon as I show the transfer records. Based on the other party’s actions, they are determined to put me in a dangerous situation. I’m afraid I will be in danger today.

Between Gareth and Elisa, words were unnecessary to understand the reasons behind their actions.

All that could be heard was a chime, and she had arrived at the top floor.

Elisa took a deep breath and stepped forward, walking out.

At that moment, Gareth’s voice came through. “You must be cautious. Promise me you won’t take risks. Even if something unexpected happens, we have other ways to resolve it. Don’t take risks, okay?” Gareth’s tone was almost pleading.

The response to him was a flurry of footsteps.

As she approached the rooftop, Elisa’s steps faltered for a moment.

She said, “I will assess the situation and act accordingly.

In other words, she would still take risks if she deemed them necessary.

Gareth truly wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

As soon as Elisa reached the rooftop, the construction worker, with half of his body hanging over the railing, began to shout and scream.

“You! Stop moving! Just stand there! Or I’ll jump from here right now!” the worker warned.

Elisa’s footsteps halted, her face devoid of any expression. Silently, she surveyed her surroundings.

The laborer was perched on the railing, half of his body hanging outside, teetering on the edge.

It was a hundred-meter drop. Even though an air cushion had been laid out, jumping down still carried the risk of death. At most, it ensured the fall wouldn’t be too gruesome.
