“We all saw the car accident video. At that speed, in that situation, there’s no way that family of three could have survived.”
Everyone seriously doubted Patrick’s words.
They rushed here eagerly to get first–hand news. And they were certain that the family could not have survived in that situation, so they only needed to get the content of the press conference here.
“Mr. Clarke, did you say that on purpose because you don’t want to take social responsibility?”
“Your company’s latest technology has had a negative impact on society.”
There were all kinds of voices,
After these people had finished expressing their contempt and ridicule, they finally quieted down a little, waiting to see Patrick be humiliated by them for talking nonsense.
Patrick was about to speak, but then he heard an urgent voice behind him. “You can’t go up there.”
It was the family of three who had been saved by Patrick and Juliette. With their legs still in casts, and their foreheads bandaged, they were trying to persuade the bodyguards to let them on stage.
Beau was controlling the bodyguards. He exchanged glances with Patrick, then told the bodyguards to let the family of three on stage.
The young father said, “Everyone misunderstood. My wife, child, and I might have been terrified, but we are alive. It was Mr. and Mrs. Clarke who risked their lives to save us.”
‘What?‘ Everyone thought. ‘In that situation, the family of three didn’t die?‘
“To be honest, in that situation, like everyone else, I thought that the three of us would die. But Mr. Clarke risked his life to come to our car and tried his best to save us.
“In any case, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke saved our lives. Despite his pain, Mr. Clarke has come here to face your questions. We have no reason to hide and not say anything. We want to speak up for Mr. and Mrs. Clarke and also thank them for saving our family.”
As the young father spoke, he took his wife and child and bowed to Patrick.
Bowing was an act of reverence. But bowing to and thanking their savior was the simplest way to show their gratitude.
Camera flashes went off wildly, capturing the moment.
However, soon, some people started to voice different opinions.
“The car accident was caused by Macroft Group’s latest technology, which was launched without rigorous testing. In other words, the car accident was caused by Mr. Clarke and the others. It’s only right that Mr. Clarke saved your lives.
“You’ve been terrified, and Macroft Group should compensate you for your mental distress. Why did you bow to thank them? That doesn’t make any sense.”
This statement immediately resonated with some people.

“That’s right. If Macroft Group hadn’t rushed to market its latest technology, you wouldn’t have been in mortal danger
“You can’t whitewash Macroft Group and the Clarkes couple just because you are alive?
“The couple was so eager to make money that they disregarded the lives of the public. Today is the first time someone has encountered a problem. Who knows if another family will be destroyed in the future because of the negligence of Macroft Group?”
“Yes, make Macroft Group compensate and apologize. They must compensate and apologize
Facing the surging anger of the crowd, Patrick remained calm and collected.
He had someone display the large screen behind him.
“I apologize that you had to learn about our company’s latest technology in this way.” Patrick said, “But in reality, the latest technology from our company used in that car today has not yet been officially launched.
“In other words, in an attempt to destroy Macroft Group, someone stole the latest technology that is still under development and used it on this gentleman’s newly purchased car, resulting in this outcome.”
The crowd exclaimed. They were stunned by the turn of events. They didn’t expect theft to be involved.
“The other party knew that I would go to the rescue if the car had an accident and wouldn’t be able to address the situation immediately. So they immediately held a press conference and admitted the company’s problems. This gave the public the impression that Macroft Group was constantly taking risks to make money. No matter how I explained it later, it would seem like I was making excuses.
“Now, I’m willing to announce the company’s latest scientific research progress to everyone to prove that I did not lie.*
The crowd was shocked again.
The latest progress would be announced directly. Technology was essential to a company like Macroft Group. Yet, they were willing to make it public. That would take a great deal of courage.
“In addition, I found the traitor in this accident on my way here.” Patrick’s booming voice rang out at the venue.
Everyone’s attention was focused once more.
Chat recordings, as well as relevant data on how Jose embezzled technology and contacted the other party, were restored on the big screen.
The evidence was conclusive. Jose couldn’t get away with it.
In the next second, Jose was brought up and thrown onto the stage.
*Patrick said coldly, “Mr. Lane, the company has obtained all the evidence of your theft of trade secrets. I’ll give you a chance to apologize to the public. Your actions nearly killed a family of three.”
Patrick’s voice, though quiet, was icy cold, sending chills down one’s spine.
Jose shivered at his feet.
People were enraged by the traitor who nearly killed a family of three. It was a blatant disregard for human life.
“He looks like an honest man, yet he did such a thing.”

“I heard that he is considered a veteran of Macroft Group. The company has solved many personal problems for him, from his parent’s illness to his child’s education. Yet, he betrayed the company while Mr. Clarke and Mr. Conner were away. How terrible.”
“What kind of person is worth his betrayal? Did the other party give him a new life?”
“Don’t stop me. People like him deserve to be beaten to death. For money, he has no bottom line and doesn’t care about other people’s lives. Shame on him!”
Some hot–headed people just wanted to rush to the stage and beat Jose up.
“He should go to jail, and rot in jail. Damn, how disgusting. Such people fill me with anger.”
Beau immediately arranged for people to come forward and take Jose to the police station.
Imprisonment was a just punishment for stealing the company’s trade secrets and nearly killing a family of three.
Those who had previously denounced Patrick all changed their tune at this moment, expressing concern for his well–being and inquiring about his injuries.
Patrick thanked everyone, and when he turned to face Juliette, he pursed his lips. Juliette immediately supported him.
“This matter has finally come to an end,” Juliette said.
“Then… I should be able to faint with peace of mind.” After saying that, Patrick fainted on the spot.
Juliette was at a loss for words.
