This was a promise straight from Old Mr. Wood's son.
As soon as Elly left, Edward Wood, who had been pretending to sleep on the bed, suddenly sat up, anxious about the things Elly had said to his son at the end.
"Was what that woman said true? Didn't you say that as long as we tarnish their company's reputation, she would give us more money to pacify us?"
He hadn't thought much of it at first. When he fell from the scaffolding, he was actually worried that the company would ignore him. But then the CEO himself came to the hospital to comfort him, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he'd save on medical expenses and even get various compensations.
But then, his son told him to make a big fuss about the injury. These company bosses are most afraid of their reputation being damaged. Once the issue becomes a big deal, they would surely offer more money to shut them up.
