I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 733 - 730: Because I Love You (4)

This matter was also handled by Vera Wave.

After careful investigation, it was confirmed that the villagers’ illness was unrelated to the river water. Furthermore, there was no actual pollution in the river. Only then did the project officially prepare to launch.

Releasing such news would invariably harm the project, so the company ultimately decided not to respond.

Since no problem had been found after the investigation, there was no need for further public discussion.

After all, for a real estate project, especially a villa project, the quality of the surrounding environment plays a decisive role.

Kris Cooper brushed his face with his hand, his gaze falling on Kate Palmer’s face. "Where did you get this information from?"

This is definitely a risky move. If someone really wanted to target Ashton, bringing up this information would be a preemptive strike. But if not, then bringing it up myself would be courting trouble for Ashton. After all, less trouble is better than more.

Kate Palmer stared at his handsome face. "It was Vera. She called me just now, and she sounded very urgent."

"How about..." Tommy Taylor interjected, "I inform the Chairmen and immediately convene a meeting to discuss this?"

"No need." Kris Cooper watched the fish swimming over to beg for food in the water. "Let’s hold an immediate press conference," he stated. "Release this information, and set aside 10,000,000 USD to establish a treatment fund for the villagers’ medical expenses."

"Okay, I’ll go prepare it right away." Tommy Taylor agreed and hurriedly walked towards the door.

"I’ll go with you!" Kate Palmer was eager to follow him.

"Director Palmer!" Kris Cooper called out to her. Kate Palmer stopped and turned around. He walked up to her. "Give her a call. Tell her I’m refusing to listen."

Kate Palmer raised an eyebrow. After a moment, she understood his meaning and immediately took out her phone to dial Vera Wave’s number, putting it on speaker.

As soon as Vera Wave answered the phone, she urgently asked, "President Palmer, what’s the situation?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"The President... he doesn’t want to listen."

"That guy!" Vera Wave blurted out in annoyance. "You tell him, this is no small matter. If it’s not handled well, the Peacock River project will be greatly impacted."

"I told him all that, but he... he simply refuses to listen."

"Does he... does he know that I’m the one who told you?"

Kate Palmer looked at Kris Cooper across from her, who nodded lightly.

"Yes, when the President asked, I told him."

On the other end of the phone, Vera Wave sounded extremely anxious. "This is all my fault. I forgot to remind you not to tell him I was the one who told you. He must be mad at me, that’s why he’s acting out of spite. This jerk... he’s always so impulsive! Does he think I would harm him? Director Palmer... please, you have to figure out another way. If you absolutely have to, call my mom... no, call President Shen. You have to persuade him, the sooner the better! This is a project worth hundreds of millions! If anything goes wrong, Ashton will definitely be seriously affected!"

"Alright..." Kate Palmer looked at Kris Cooper across from her. "I’ll try to figure something else out."

"Good. If he still won’t listen, you... you call me again."

Before Kate Palmer could say goodbye, Kris Cooper reached out and hung up the phone.

"Where does she live?"

Kate Palmer gave him Vera Wave’s address. "I don’t know the exact floor, but I know it’s unit three."

"You go with Tommy Taylor and deal with this matter."

With those instructions, Kris Cooper turned, grabbed his car keys and coat from the table, and strode out of the office.
