Houston did not suspect anything else since only Eric and Sylvia had arrived. He poured coffee for them.Taking a sip, Eric said, "Mr. Whitlock, could you take us to the construction site?"Houston's body trembled slightly. The workers were busy with construction, and dozens of Baldwin's people were keeping an eye on them. If Sylvia and Eric went over, everything would be exposed instantly.However, the Innova Group had commissioned the construction of the main building. It would seem inappropriate and suspicious if he refused to let them go there.Seeing the troubled expression on Houston's face, Sylvia asked, "Is there any problem?"Houston snapped himself back from his trance and replied, "Nothing. It's just that the weather is hot, and it's quite dusty at the construction site. I'm afraid—"Before he could finish speaking, Sylvia waved her hand and interjected, "Mr. Whitlock, Mr. Johnson and I aren't afraid of getting dirty. It's crucial for the smooth progress of the constru

The worker was furious. "There's no company at all! When we were hired, you promised a monthly salary of 5,000 dollars plus overtime pay! But for over half a year, we haven't received our regular wages, let alone overtime pay!"When we joined, it was under the name of Whitlocks Construction! We work 16 hours a day with no extra benefits, and you even refuse to pay us. Do you consider us human? Are you still human?!"Eric looked at Houston, seeking an explanation. Even if Houston's statement held true and a third party outsourced the workers, Whitlock Construction was still be in charge of the project. In such a situation, they could not completely shirk their responsibility."I…" Houston stammered, "T-The people from Sunridge Human Resources are here too. I'll take you to them, and you can ask any questions you want."After saying that, he signaled the two people nearby to take the worker away. He would deal with him properly later.However, Eric did not give him the chance. He tu

Houston was stunned as things spiraled out of control.Meanwhile, the workers' reactions exceeded Sylvia and Eric's expectations.However, they couldn't allow George's men to harm the workers in front of them.When a man approached a worker with a steel bat, Eric swiftly moved in front and grabbed the bat. "You didn't pay them, and now you want to hit them?"A loud bang echoed as he sent the man flying with a single punch."Yeah!" The workers erupted in cheers. They wanted to fight back, but fear held them back. Today, witnessing Eric's action emboldened them.Houston and George were astonished. They did not expect Eric to effortlessly catch the steel bat.Eric said as he tossed the steel bat aside, "Mr. Whitlock, the situation here is quite serious! Should I notify the relevant authorities?"Initially, Sylvia and Eric did not want to reveal their identities as the CEO and CIO of the Innova Group. However, they realized they could not delay any longer after last night's interro

Two burly men pushed through the workers, approaching Matthew. They raised steel bats in their hands and swung them toward him.However, Matthew and Miller acted even faster. In an instant, they struck back with powerful punches, causing the two men to crumple in pain."How dare you hit my men?!" George exploded in anger. Just yesterday, he was nearly beaten by Eric, and now even the workers had started to fight back.Matthew crossed his arms and said, "Since you're taking our money back, we're going to die of starvation sooner or later. Why should we be afraid of a fight?"George's anger reached its peak. He stared at Matthew and smiled. "So, are you saying that you're good at fighting? Let me tell you, fighting won't solve anything and might even make things worse."However, I'll give you a chance! Since you like to fight, come and fight with me! If you can beat me, I'll pay your wages! I'll give all the remaining money to you!"He realized the situation was getting out of cont

"Mr. Johnson informed me that starting today, everyone can temporarily cease working until we've resolved the issue with Whitlocks Construction. Even on the days you don't work, you'll still be paid!"Upon hearing that, many workers couldn't hold back their tears. They had been oppressed and exploited for too long, and finally, someone was standing up for them.-At Jake's home.After detaining George and his group, Miller came to report to Eric."According to our investigation, Sunridge Human Resources Limited was established just a month ago. I checked their accounts, and all their funds come from Whitlocks Construction. The gang led by George has all been taken down, and we're currently conducting intensive interrogations on them."They were confident they could still get useful information from George. After all, the main reason Whitlocks Construction had set up Sunridge Human Resources Limited was likely to evade their responsibility as an employer and clear themselves of an
