I agreed and exchanged phone numbers with the police officer in charge of the case, then hurried to Lucas’s company.
That cleaner probably couldn’t have gone too far. I believe the police will find Lucas soon.

That cleaner probably couldn’t have gone too far. I believe the police will find Lucas soon.
But the company situation probably couldn’t wait.
As Grandpa Zhou said, there was indeed someone livestreaming in front of Lucas’s company. Not only had it attracted a large crowd offline, but the online attention was also skyrocketing.
A man in a suit was squeezed in the center of the crowd, trying to communicate with the livestreamer. I don’t know what he said, but I heard the person holding the phone suddenly shout loudly:
“Who do you think you are? I told you to get your CEO out here to talk to me. Your product caused my girlfriend to break out in a rash all over her body and be hospitalized. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’m not leaving today!”
The situation looked like it was about to spiral out of control.
I had seen the man in the suit a couple of times before. He occasionally came to the house to fetch documents for Lucas. He was Lucas’s personal secretary, surnamed Zhang.
With Lucas not here, he could only
me out to face the situation, but he clearly couldn’t handle it.
I squeezed through the crowd and pulled Secretary Zhang out.
Secretary Zhang was a bit resistant at first, but when he saw it was me, he immediately relaxed.
“Mrs. Zhou, where’s Mr. Zhou?”
“He has something to attend to and can’t come. Tell me what’s going on first.”
Secretary Zhang was about to look around, but stopped hesitantly, an

Someone had bought a body lotion from Zhou Corporation, and after using it, they had They were hospitalized for a week before recovering.
Originally, Zhou Corp had already given compensation, and the matter was considered settled. But for some reason, this person came to Zhou Corp’s door to livestream today, exaggerating the incident and demanding huge compensation.
“This matter must have someone pulling strings behind the scenes. Mrs. Zhou, we should still call Mr. Zhou to handle it.”
I nodded, ignoring the latter half of Secretary Zhang’s words, and walked directly to the center of th

“I’m Lucas Zhou’s wife, Olivia. I’m very sorry about what happened to your girlfriend. But what’s happened has happened, no matter how much we regret it, we can’t change it. What we can do now is to try our best to compensate. Please rest assured, no matter how much the medical expenses are, we will pay them in full and take all responsibility.”
As soon as I spoke, everyone turned to look at me, and whispers immediately arose.
“Olivia, isn’t she that celebrity?”
“What celebrity, she’s just an actress. She only became a somebody after marrying into a rich family!”
“She’s so lucky to be chosen by the CEO…”
I had heard similar comments countless times before. Whether as a screenwriter or an actress, as long as I was put in front of the public eye, I couldn’t avoid being discussed.
I pretended not to hear and focused on the man doing the livestream.
The other party clearly hadn’t expected me to come out and directly take responsibility. His expression froze, and he was stunned for a moment before speaking arrogantly again:
*You think just paying medical expenses is enough? What about my girlfriend’s lost wages and emotional distress compensation?”
“You think just paying medical expenses is enough? What about my girlfriend’s lost wages and emotional distress compensation?”
“How much compensation do you want?”
“Uh… at least… at least $10 million!”
“$10 million? Are you sure?”
Faced with my question, the man’s eyes quickly flashed with panic, but then as if he thought of something, he firmly said:
“Yes! I’m sure. $10 million, not a cent less. Go discuss it with your husband. Don’t disturb my livestream!”
The man was about to continue his livestream.
“No need to discuss. I agree to your demand.”
