Chapter 1347 Unexpected Joy
Atlas continued, "In addition, Mr. Coleman Darrell, Ms. Pauline's husband, will also receive support from ATL Empire for his valiant deed. ATL Empire will award an additional 80 grand in cash for Mr. Coleman Darell's medical expenses and will make the hospital and
treatment arrangements for Mr. Coleman. Those expenses will also be covered by ATL Empire."
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned to get Dylan to handle it.
There was an immediate uproar in the audience, and cheers erupted!
After everyone quieted down, they chattered in a mixture of envy and excitement, unable to contain their cheers and shouts. They couldn't believe what was happening.
A sanitation worker had won an incredibly large prize.
The woman on stage stared at Atlas in shock, as if she couldn't understand what Atlas was saying.
She stepped forward again and thanked Atlas profusely on behalf of Pauline. "Thank you so much, Boss! You're such a good person! Pauline, your family is saved... Hurry up and thank him! Oh my goodness! You're so lucky, you met a wonderful man today..." Pauline started to kneel as she heard the woman's words, but Atlas and I hurried to help her up.
The audience became even more enthusiastic.
Soon, Dylan handed a bank card to Atlas.
Atlas immediately took the card and handed it to Pauline.
"Please wait..."
Just then, a clear voice rang out from below the stage, and everyone looked toward the source of the voice, only to see that it was Beatrice.
Without hesitation, she quickly walked on stage and went straight to Pauline. Beatrice held her hand and said, "Hello, Ms. Pauline. I'm Beatrice, the CEO of Keller's Dairy. Since Mr. Coleman was an employee of Keller's Dairy, we won't ignore his heroic deed.
"From now on, we'll restore Mr. Coleman as an employee of Keller's Dairy. We'll pay him the salary he deserves and arrange for your daughter's employment. If your daughter is willing to return to Gerby when she graduates, she can report directly to Keller's Dairy. We'll also cover her tuition fees. You can come work at Keller's Dairy too if you're willing!"
Pauline fell to her knees again as Beatrice completed her sentence, sobbing violently and saying, "Thank you! I'm so grateful!"
We helped her up again. Her hand that held the card was still trembling. This was a case of unexpected joy for Pauline!
To be honest, it was just a small gesture for us, but I gained more confidence in Beatrice after this incident. I thought she would be a qualified business leader in the future.
The provincial and municipal authorities and residents praised the official response to this unforeseen incident.
I felt secretly pleased. ATL Empire had made a good start in Gerby.
The grand opening ceremony ended amidst cheers, and the people in the square were reluctant to leave.
The officials promptly declared that celebrations would continue into the evening.
But Atlas and Jared decided to head back to Foswood because they were concerned that Ivanna and I would be tired.
Our group quietly boarded a car and
went straight to the airport. Beatrice had always felt reluctant to part with me, especially now when there were many classmates with us.
She made an appointment with everyone to meet again in Foswood.
On the plane, I quietly asked Atlas who the troublemaker was and how it had been handled.
Atlas told me that he would be brought back to Foswood for further investigation, but for now, they didn't know who sent him.
Atlas had ordered that the incident be promptly suppressed and all related news be censored as if it had never happened.
So, no one found out about it. Those who saw it at the time had been warned, especially the media, and this issue would not be brought up for the time being.
Poppy was coming back with us as
well. She had turned down the opportunity to go to any event in
Gerby as soon as she learned wet
were returning to Foswood, even though she hadn't been invited to come with us.
Fortunately, Arnold came with us too.
Arnold was smart. He had watched Poppy even though I hadn't told him to do that, and didn't give her a chance to bother me.
