My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 252: Chaos

Without hesitation, Ayan let Kian drive and rushed with Camille.

The construction site was already blocked. There were a lot of people gathering at the gate. Ayan and

Camille entered the construction site through the back door of the garage because there was a live

broadcast.

The workers were very terrified of what happened. Police were searching for the injured people, who

have not been identified.

The atmosphere was solemn. Camille looked at the collapse. “How could it happen?” she murmured.

Kian called Mr. Moss and Camille asked, “Why did the cave-in happen all of a sudden? It hasn’t rained

recently and everything is with the normal rules. A collapse is impossible.”

“I also think so. I checked the steel bar on the collapsed floor and found that it was not the third type of

steel bar No. 22 we purchased, but the second type of steel bar No. 22.”

His words made Camille’s face grimmer.

Her eyes widened. “Are you sure?” she asked.

“I’m sure, but I don’t know exactly how much of the rebars was mixed in. If it’s every single one it

means that all our endeavor has been wasted.” Mr. Moss also looked grim. He was to blame for what

happened.

Camille was silent. She knew how horrible the situation was thoroughly.

Changing from the third category to the second category meant that the steel bars that can only be

used to build ordinary residential houses were used on high-rise buildings, which was equivalent to

walking barefoot on glass slag, even if there was nothing at the beginning, something was bound to

happen in the end.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn and Camille stayed silent for a long time.

Ayan glanced at her and said to Mr. Moss, “Take me to the scene.”

Mr. Moss nodded and followed Kian out first.

Ayan walked over to Camille, reached over her shoulder and pushed his gentle hand on her shoulder,

“I’m going to check the scene now. You stay here, alright?”

Camille looked pale. There was an indescribable feeling at the bottom of her heart.

She opened her mouth and whispered, “Ayan, for the accident, I…I’m sorry. I…”

“It’s none of your business. You have born your responsibility. It’s just an accident that no one wants to

happen. Now that it happened, we have to find a way to minimize all the damage.”

Ayan comforted her in a low voice. He took Camille into his arms and hugged her vigorously. Then he

touched her forehead and continued in a slight voice, “I’ll go to the scene to have a look. You wait here

for me. Don’t move around. Alright?”

Camille nodded but the solemnity on her face never disappeared.

It happened so suddenly that Camille's mind was in a mess.

She and Mr. Moss went through each batch of materials without any errors. Now they saw different

pieces of steel bars from the cave-in, which was obviously not their fault.

So, what was it?

Camille’s face stiffened as she thought about it.

Mr. Moss took Kian and Ayan to the site, where the police in charge of the matter was directing the

search. He was acquainted with Ayan. They greeted each other and talked about the situation.

The trapped men were rescued. All but the first man who died on the spot sustained minor injuries of

varying degrees.

As for the man who died at the scene, an investigation was needed to determine the cause of his

death.

Ayan asked, “Did you contact his family?”

“Yeah, they were contacting.” Mr. Moss replied.

At the moment, someone said, “Mr. Simpson, Mr. Moss, the family of the deceased reached. Now they © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

are outside complaining to the media and asking the media to do justice.”

Ayan was here, and it’s apparent that Mr. Moss were not in charge. Therefore, he looked at Ayan.

Ayan's face was cold. He looked at Kian, “Go to invite the family to come in. Now that the accident has

happened, what we can do is to meet all their needs and conditions as much as possible. As for the

media and the public, Simpson Group will give a response.”

Kian nodded and went to deal with that.

Ayan talked to the police for a few more words. The police advised Ayan to start an investigation for

such an accident. Only then could Simpson Group get away with it.

This was what Ayan was thinking. Then he stepped aside and called Rex, “Where is Ray Ward? Let

him come back to Hance City today to deal with the collapse for me.”

The collapse has already set off a huge storm on the Internet, so Rex knew a little about it. He said,

“There is a lot of noise on the Internet. Isn’t Simpson Group going to suppress it?”

“Now that everyone knows, does suppressing could erase people’s memories? If not, it will make them

think that we have a guilty conscience.

Since it has spread, everything would be handled open to the public.

Rex didn’t ask any more and replied, “I’ll contact Ray right now. He has been at home recently and

should be able to get back in time.”

“Not should, must.”

“Can you not be so overbearing?”

“Well, that’s it. I have something to deal with.” Ayan said and hang up.

Ray is Rex’s younger brother. He is a well-known lawyer. He has never lost a case and is the best at

handling such disputes.

Ayan’s phone had just hung up when Kian trotted in from outside.

Kian said, “Mr. Simpson, the on-site search video was posted on the internet and all major TV and

media are broadcasting. In addition, the family of the deceased is unwilling to deal with privately and

hopes that the media and relevant departments will investigate clearly and give a reasonable answer.

The media also ask Simpson Group to give a response.”

Ayan nodded. “Well, top priority should be given to the deceased, no matter what they demand, we'll be

cooperative."

The ten of the injured were taken to the hospital. Ayan chose the hospital where Dr. Ellis was working

for just in case and arranged all wards of one floor with security guards and family visits in case

something unexpected happen later.

However, the media refused to leave the gate, saying that they needed Ayan to give a promise and

guarantee to the victims’ family personally.

Ayan wouldn’t show up at this time certainly. The accident became well-known to all in less than an

hour.

Ayan informed Mr. Moss immediately, “All the personnel on the scene are not allowed to leave here for

the time being. I will let them go after this matter is thoroughly cleared up. In addition, all the

remuneration during this period will be paid, and we’ll offer them three meals a day for free. Keep an

eye on the scene.’

“Alright. I’ll get them informed.”

Mr. Moss nodded and left.

Ayan turned around to find Camille.

After Ayan left, Camille went to the warehouse to check the unused materials. She wanted to know if

there was any problem.

Yessica called her again, “Miss. Armstrong, are you there yet? Mr. Walker and I can’t get in at the door.

We don’t know what’s going on inside.”

“Well, I’m here. Please talk to Mr. Walker.”

Yessica told Preston. He grabbed the phone and said, “Cami, what’s going on there? The media

indicated that there are many injured workers and even a worker died. Do you need Yessica and I to go

in with you?”

“I don't know the specific situation for the time being. You and Yessica can go back. I’ll contact you after

I check the materials."

Camille didn’t say much because she didn’t know much actually. All she could do was to check the

materials.

After her going through, Camille was sure that all the unused materials in the warehouse were OK.

Ayan came in as she finished. He saw Camille supporting her waist and asked anxiously, “What’s

wrong?”

“I’ve gone over the materials that haven’t been used yet and there’s nothing wrong with them. There’s

no chance to misuse the rebar normally. Ayan, do you think there was a mistake when I checked with

Mr. Moss earlier?”

Otherwise, it was the same batch of rebar, why could it be mixed with discordant specifications?
