“Given the longstanding grudge in the past, we have every reason to believe that the Wilson Group was also involved in the scheme to smear and frame us.
“Bree Technology’s legal department will, in accordance with the law, file formal charges against both the Yurchenko Group and the Wilson Group for their actions.”
Bree Technology’s lawyer stepped forward and produced a legal letter, officially announcing that Bree Technology was filing charges against the Yurchenko Group and the Wilson Group for colluding to smear and frame Bree Technology.
Nobody expected the tables to turn this quickly.
The people who’d been waiting to see Aubree grovel and beg for forgiveness all turned beet red, like they’d just been slapped silly.
“Next, if anyone has questions for us, please go ahead–as long as it’s something we’re able to answer,” Birgitte said.
The reporters were left utterly speechless. All the questions they’d prepared died before they could even be asked.
Nobody saw this kind of plot twist coming–the Bree Technology that everyone had been pointing fingers at was not only totally fine, but Aubree had even sent Quantavius packing right in front of everyone.
No one would ever imagine that this would be the outcome.
After a few moments of stunned silence, one reporter finally raised her hand.
Aubree turned to her and gave her a nod, signaling for her to go ahead.
The reporter said, “I’m a reporter from the Südlichen Strand Evening News. Back when GrabCheap first launched in Südlichen Strand, we interviewed you, Ms. Miller.
“At the time, we were genuinely grateful that a company was finally paying attention to the needs of ordinary folks. So ever since all this trouble started, I’ve always been on your side.
“My question is, Ms. Miller, can you guarantee the quality of the products sold on your platform from now on?”
She voiced the question that was on the minds of millions glued to their screens, watching the press conference unfold.
For people who struggled just to get by, GrabCheap’s affordable and reliable products had been a real blessing. More than anyone, they desperately wanted GrabCheap to stick around.
Aubree replied, “I’m sorry, but I can’t promise that. I don’t want to lie to anyone who puts their trust in me. We’ve already looked into all the products that had quality issues
“It turns out that Quantavius was behind it. He had people buy up accounts and sell those faulty goods, but we’ve already taken everything down. Still, I can’t promise that this will never happen again.
“With hundreds of millions of users and countless merchants, it’s just not possible to keep an eye on every single transaction. All we can do is try our best to protect our customers.
“And honestly, product quality issues aren’t just a problem for us. They happen on every e–commerce platform out there.
Aubree’s words rang out with conviction, and the reporter realized maybe this question was a bit too harsh. After all, even in malls, people couldn’t expect everything they buy to be flawless.
A person thought, ‘No–questions–asked refunds? Damn, Aubree’s really got guts. Is she not afraid of bleeding money?‘
But whatever anyone else thought, the moment Aubree made that promise, the crowd was instantly won over. The place erupted in thunderous applause.
“Ms. Miller, there’s always been talk out there that all your achievements are really just thanks to Mr. Bowen Turner from the Turner Group. What do you have to say about that?” one reporter asked.
Aubree touched her face, thinking, “What do I think? Honestly, I’m just lucky I managed to catch Bowen’s interest. Thanks to him, I basically struck gold right from the start and had a mountain of capital to play with.
