Lex stormed off.
Tommy wore a scheming look on his face.
Thea and her family did not stay at the hospital for long and returned home.
“I’m so pissed.”
Upon reaching home, David broke into a fit of rage. “It’s obvious they’re trying to frame Thea. It has to be Howard and his family. After Thea became the chairman, they lost all opportunities of embezzling the company’s funds. And so, they’re trying to bring her down.”
James took a seat and said coldly, “That should be obvious enough.”
Thea looked at James and asked, “How did you know something was wrong with the medicine?”
James replied, “I’m a doctor, after all. I can tell a patient’s condition just by taking their pulse, and I noticed they all consumed the same medicine. That means it wasn’t outsiders targeting Eternality hospital. Rather, it’s someone in the family. Besides, they only switched some of the medicine for substandard ones as they didn’t want things to get out of control. After all, the medicine isn’t fatal. It just causes allergic reactions.”
“W-What about the old man?”
James explained, “Although the medicine doesn’t kill, it has to have a connection with his death. So, I chose to pay compensation to hush them up. Fortunately, the public was convinced it was a publicity stunt, and the deceased’s family chose to leave. Or else, Eternality’s reputation would’ve been ruined.”
“I didn’t embezzle the company’s funds. I’ve never used substandard and expired medicine.”
“I believe you, Thea. Leave the investigation to me.”
“Forget it. You should just stay out of this. Lex has ordered Howard to look into the matter. I believe he’ll prove our innocence.”
James smiled coldly. “Prove our innocence? Even David could see they were targeting us. Did you seriously think he would help us out? He’d surely shift the blame onto you and hold you responsible for this when the time comes.”
“W-What should we do, then?”
“Thea, you’re the chairman. Conduct an investigation yourself. Screen those in contact with the medicine to find out where and what went wrong.”
“Hmm.”
James nodded.
