Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175 The Mysterious Guest In the presence of so many reporters, Jacob had to hold back his tirade and pretend to apologize instead.

“I’m sorry. There is so much to handle in our company. It is indeed my fault to make such a huge mistake.”

Arielle smiled and continued, “It’s all right if you do not repeat your mistake. I have always been one who rewards and punishes accordingly. Since you admit it’s your mistake, you will be punished. Well, since you are a longtime faithful staff member, your punishment will be just a slap on the wrist. Your yearly bonus will be forfeited, and six months of your salary will be deducted.”

Upon hearing her words, Jacob gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly. “Fine…”

He was not too concerned about the money, but this deduction of his salary was undoubtedly a slap on his face. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.

Jacob consoled himself with the thought that the tables would be turned when it was revealed that there were no bionic arms.

Looking at the expression on Jacob’s face, Arielle could guess what was on his mind.

She did not say anything but smiled at him. Then she took the microphone, which the emcee handed over to her, and began her speech.

Jacob took the opportunity to signal his assistant to start the live broadcast.

The live broadcast room that was ended not long ago began again, and there were even more viewers this time.

Everyone was able to see Arielle’s face as they had hoped the moment the live broadcast was resumed.

Arielle had always met with the press without any makeup on. However, she wore a light, professional-

looking makeup paired with matte, jungle-red lipstick that day. The overall impression she gave was beautiful and sassy, precisely what a capable female CEO would look like.

“Wow! That’s it! From now on, in all comic books, this will be the face of powerful female CEOs! You are my goddess!”

The fans were exuberant and eagerly waiting to see the bionic arms with excitement.

“Very well, then…” Arielle grasped the microphone tight and said, “I won’t take too much of your time for the opening speech. I’m certain many of you have come to see the bionic arms. So, I shall pass the time to Kimi, who leads the team of designers responsible for its creation.”

Kimi came forward immediately, nervously clearing his throat. Then he began to explain how the arm worked according to the diagrams shown on the PowerPoint displayed on the screen.

After watching the disabled person in the simulated animation living a normal life by using the bionic arms, those in the crowd who needed the arms were really excited.

After Kimi had finished his introduction, he passed the microphone back to Arielle.

“I believe that everyone wants to know the price of the bionic arms. So, I’ll announce the market price and the special price for today’s on-site booking. But before that, I would like to introduce a mystery guest.”

The audience’s curiosity was piqued when they heard that announcement.

Jacob was especially curious, but he could not guess who that mystery guest was.

At that very moment, a side door opened suddenly and a good-looking but pale man emerged.

His facial features were sharp, and he was about twenty-five years of age. However, one of his shirt sleeves hung empty without a limb.

Just as Jacob was about to ask his assistant who that man was, one of the reporters recognized him.

“This is Bjorn! The son of the Seyward family!”

A few years ago, Bjorn lost his arm due to an accident.

The Seyward family was well-known in Jadeborough, so news about Bjorn’s accident went viral.

After the accident, Bjorn disappeared from public view, and he was never seen again.

There were rumors that after losing his arm, he had never stepped out of his bedroom. Yet, today, he had appeared at the event.
