Gregory was stunned that Jorge confessed without any prompting. He muttered, "Mr. Herman, you-"
Jorge did not want to confess, but the man in front of him was the general!
If the general asked him to come, that meant he already knew everything. If he confessed willingly, he might have a chance to survive.
If he continued to deny his wrongdoings, he would be doomed.
Nathan looked at Jorge coldly. "Herman, you've disappointed me. I can't believe that you took bribes and sided with evil to target the Cross Group. Don't you know the significance of the medicine? Where is your conscience?"
In a trembling voice, Jorge answered, "Mr. Cross, I know I was wrong. I've returned everything the Cross Clan has given to me. The FDA is also reviewing the approval of Cross Group's special meds. If nothing goes wrong, the results will be out, and the medication's commercialization will be approved by this afternoon."
Nathan scoffed, "Too late. I don't think you're suitable to be the director of the FDA. When you return to your office, you'll resign by claiming that you have an illness.”
Boom!
Nathan's words struck Jorge like a bolt of lightning.
After a shudder, he lowered his head in despair and whispered, "Alright. I'll hand in my resignation for early retirement."
Nathan nodded. "You may leave now. I have other things to settle with Cross Clan."
"Yes, Sir."
Jorge fled the scene as if his death sentence had just been revoked.
Although he had lost his job, he did not need to go to jail and Nathan had spared his life. That was already a generous act from Nathan.
When Penny saw Jorge leaving, she hurriedly said, "I'll send Mr. Herman downstairs."
She had not expected the director of the FDA to come from Brimmopolis just with one call from Nathan.
Moreover, he even settled the approval of Cross Group's special meds!
While she was surprised, she was also curious as to how Nathan had pulled it off.
Hence, when she saw Jorge leaving, she offered to send him off. She wanted to take the chance to talk to Jorge and find out how Nathan had managed to do this.
