Leah immediately approached the group upon seeing their arrival. She recognized Tracy instantly. "You said your boss would come today. Where is your boss?"
Rachel stepped forward. "I'm the president of Wealthwave Group. You can talk to me."
Leah grabbed Rachel's arm and cried loudly. "Your medicine harmed my husband! You must save him. Without him, our family is finished," she wailed.
Rachel felt distressed as she watched Leah cry. Just as she was about to offer some comforting words, Jeffrey stepped in front of Leah and roared, "Stop crying! This is not the time for mourning."
Leah was infuriated by the word "mourning". She gritted her teeth and said, "What are you saying? My husband isn't dead yet!"
Jeffrey coldly replied, "In his current state, he's as good as dead.
"If you give up on treatment, we'll compensate you with one million dollars. If you choose to continue treatment, we won't be responsible, and you won't get a penny."
Rachel frowned. During the meeting, they had agreed on two million dollars because of the three children.
The additional compensation was to help the family live better and to prevent further trouble.
She wasn't afraid of giving more money. However, she was concerned about the new medicine's reputation.
The damage would be significant if the medicine's value for improvement was lost.
Jeffrey had disrupted her plan. She was about to speak up.
At that moment, Leah cried, "You're forcing my husband to die! Are you even human? How could you do this? You must continue his treatment!"
Jeffrey's expression turned colder. "If you choose to continue treatment, then we'll have to go to court. I suspect your husband had an underlying condition, and it's not our drug's fault. In the end, you won't get a penny!"
Leah was almost driven to madness. She screamed, "You're forcing my husband to die! You won't let us live! Get out, all of you! I'll take you to court. There must be justice somewhere!"
Matthew could no longer stand by and do nothing. "Let me handle this!"
He had been present the whole time. Jeffrey's harsh approach was unbearable. In fact, it was blatant bullying; he was forcing the family to accept his terms.
