Chapter 627 - 626: The Showdown Begins

Chapter 627: Chapter 626: The Showdown Begins

She really guessed it right.

South Grant did come to make trouble, but he did so in a very civilized manner.

She had already handed over the evidence of Kevin Hayes’ poisoning to the police. She was already suspected of a criminal offense, and now South Grant was bringing the police to arrest her.

Kevin Hayes had no personal vendetta against The Ellison Group and certainly wouldn’t poison for no reason. There must be someone behind the scenes directing this. ℴ

The person directing this could only be Fiona Grant.

Kevin Hayes being arrested, whether she implicates Fiona Grant or not, Fiona Grant cannot remain clean in the whirlpool of public opinion.

Someone poisoning The Ellison Group’s products would see their public image fall dramatically.

The police stepped onto the stage at this point and approached Fiona Grant, saying:

"Who is Kevin Hayes?"

Kevin Hayes was utterly terrified upon hearing this, unsure of how to respond.

Fiona Grant forced a calm demeanor, smiling as she asked:

"May I ask what you need from my assistant?"

"Kevin Hayes is suspected of poisoning, endangering public safety, with solid evidence. Please come with us to the station."

Fiona Grant already suspected as much, but hearing the certainty in their words still made her heart skip a beat.

Kevin Hayes was already stupefied, and Fiona Grant knew that if Kevin Hayes was taken away, she would ultimately implicate her.

Fiona Grant turned, grasping Kevin Hayes’ hand, speaking in a calm tone, seemingly caring:

"Kevin, go with these officers. Explain everything clearly. I’ll arrange for someone to take care of your uncle and aunt."

Kevin Hayes suddenly looked up, staring at Fiona Grant with a complex expression.

After a moment, Kevin Hayes squeezed out a faint "okay."

Then Kevin Hayes was taken away, and Fiona Grant watched their departing figures with a dark expression.

At this point, South Grant hadn’t left, and Fiona Grant’s gaze fell on her.

Fiona Grant sneered, "Sister, I thought you wouldn’t come today, but here you are."

Ignoring Fiona Grant’s provocation, South Grant continued:

"Of course, with your company’s opening, I had to come by with a gift. When you left The Ellison Group, you gave us such a big gift, so I had to return the favor."

Many people below vaguely understood what was happening, and Fiona Grant’s face turned very unsightly, while South Grant smoothly climbed onto the stage.

She walked over to Fiona Grant, smiling as she took the microphone from her hand. Fiona Grant resisted, but she wasn’t as strong as South Grant.

Calmly, South Grant took the microphone from her hand.

Then she said:

"What everyone just witnessed was Kevin Hayes placing carcinogenic toxic substances in our Ellison Group’s workshop. This is the root cause of the recent issues with The Ellison Group’s products. We’ve already recalled and destroyed all products, and the workshop has been cleaned. I’m here today to address this matter."

Fiona Grant’s face was now livid with anger, her opening ceremony completely disrupted by South Grant.

She said with a cold voice to South Grant:

"The matter is still under investigation, and there’s no final conclusion yet. Besides, even if Kevin Hayes did it, she has been taken away, and it’s her personal matter. This is our company’s opening ceremony, and there’s no need to bring such matters here."

Fiona Grant now wore a sullen expression, while South Grant smiled. Suddenly, a frail voice emerged from the crowd below.
