<b>Chapter </b><b>378 </b>


    Aubree smirked coldly. “Don’t waste your tears now, or you might find you can’t cry when you really want to,” she said, her tone icy.


    After saying that, Aubree led her group up onto the stage.


    Quantavius sat quietly in the front corner, watching everything unfold. He wondered to himself, What kind of trump card could she possibly have?


    Is she nning to dig into the backgrounds of those guys causing trouble? But everyone I hired actually used those products. so even if she investigates, I’m not worried.


    He’d paid them all through off–the–books ounts, and he didn’t believe Aubree had any way to trace it back to him. Aubree Miller


    Quantavius’s gaze darkened as he ran through countless scenarios in his mind, but he was certain Aubree had no way to turn the tables.


    Aubree ignored the stares and stepped into the spotlight. “Hello, everyone. I’m Aubree Miller, the Chairwoman of Bree Technology. Today, I’m here to address some of the recent controversies and rify things on behalf of Bree Technology.”


    As she spoke, photos started appearing on the big screen behind her.


    After a few images had gone by, the reporters conducting <b>interviews </b>lookedpletely stunned, and the people in mourning


    clothes who had been putting on a show suddenly fell silent.


    “Anyone here recognize these people?” Aubree asked.


    Everyone found those people in the images familiar.


    Some of them were present at the press conference while crying very hard.


    The images Aubree disyed were all of the same group who made trouble and hurt Birgitte at the entrance of Bree Technology on the very first day<b>. </b>Not only were there photos, but <b>their </b>medical records <b>were </b><b>also </b>shown right alongside them.


    “These people already had medical conditions, yet they’re <b>using </b>us of putting profit <b>over </b>human lives. Anyone care to exin that?” she asked.


    Aubree faced the cameras with a calm<b>, </b>confident smile<b>, </bpletely unfazed.


    The woman who’d been wailing the loudest<b>–</b>apparently the <b>deceased’s </b><b>sister</b><b>–</b>snatched a microphone from a nearby reporter. “Yeah, my brother was sick before, but he still could’ve <b>recovered</b>.


    “It was only after he used the stuff from your tform that things got so bad there was no turning back!”


    Aubree nodded. “Let me ask you something else<b>–</b>about how long did your brother <b>use </b>the stuff he got from our tform?”


    “He stopped once he finished it, obviously,” the woman said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world,


    Aubree gave a slight smile. “Let me break it down for you. ording to your brother’s ount on our tform, he bought some of that supposedly problematic milk. Even if he drank one bottle a day, it would have taken him less than two months to finish it all.”


    Everyone in the audience looked puzzled. They wondered what this statement could prove.


    Aubree kept her smile as she yed a video. “This is aption of interviews reporters did with the so–called victims after the GrabCheap incident. We also ran our own follow–up investigation on these people.


    “Their situations are basically the same as this wol Prother’s. They all had existing health issues and were already under medical care before ever using those low–quality goods.


    “Here are our tform records. As you can see, our data lines up with what these people have imed. There’s simply no way we could have faked of this.”


    any


    After she finished speaking, Aubree gave Birgitte a nod.


    172


    The screen switched to another image–test reports showing that those products had been found to contain excessive and unauthorized chemicals.


    Birgitte led a medical expert in a white <b>coat </b>onto the stage.


    This expert was well–known in the industry; at Aubree’s request, he <b>was </b>here to help rify the situation.


    <b>“</b><b>I </b>stake my professional reputation on the authenticity of these test reports,” he said, his voice steady.


    “See? I told you. Bree Technology is a shameless, heartlesspany. Even the expert you brought in admits there’s something wrong with what you’re selling!” the woman started wailing again, cursing <b>as </b>she cried.


    The expert frowned slightly and looked over at her. “I said the test reports are genuine. I never said what you described could actually happen in real life.”


    Everyone looked a bit stunned.


    The expert exined. “I heard everything you just said. You im your brother’s condition got worse after drinking two cases


    of milk.
