The hearse was a sleek, black vehicle.The Camrons frowned at the sight of the hearse pulling up in front of them.They clearly weren't here to congratulate them on the launch! Instead, they were cursing them! It was a sign of disrespect to have a hearse there!As the hearse pulled up, two other vans followed suit.The doors opened, and dozens of people who were all dressed in black swarmed out. At the same time, an intricately designed coffin was carried out and placed at the entrance of the building with a loud thud."Which one of you is the developer of the Dew Balm? Get the hell out here now!" Just then, a middle-aged man who was suited up in all black came forward and yelled angrily."Who are you? And why have you brought this here?" Lana stepped forward and asked coldly. "Of course, I'm here to get an explanation from you, evil bunch!"The middle-aged man looked anguished as he said, "This Dew Balm you're selling is toxic! My father passed away after using it last nigh
A group of the deceased's family members, who were all dressed in black, began to wail and clamor.They shouted, cried, and roared. The commotion attracted a huge crowd around them.Some who didn't know the full story began commenting based on what they saw. They reached for their cell phones and began recording videos of what was happening, ready to post them on social media.The place descended into utter chaos!Lana frowned. Her expression didn't look too good. She had expected that things would not run smoothly for the launch, but she didn't expect it to get so messy.She couldn't get violent with them or scold them for what they were doing. There also wasn't much point in explaining things. So, she was at a loss for how to handle the situation."Lana, I had thought that the Dew Balm was some sort of miraculous ointment. But it turns out that it's a poisonous substance!"Eleanor said sarcastically, "I thought the Camrons was a decent and reputable family. "Who would have k
"Hmph! You're trying to go against us, are you? You're just making things difficult for yourself!" Seeing Lana in such a mess, Eleanor smirked.Business was a warzone. The Welch family was familiar with using underhanded tactics to make things go their way. In the past, those who failed to show proper respect and refused to align themselves with the Welch family were destroyed. Clearly, it wasn't going to be any different for the Camrons."Those are just rumors! Nothing but fabricated lies!" Matteo stepped out when he saw that Lana couldn't handle the crowd. He stated solemnly, "I guarantee with the Camron family's reputation at stake that the entire production of Dew Balm adheres strictly to regulations. "There can't possibly be any problems with our products. What happened today is because someone is out to frame us!""That's rubbish! I have concrete evidence that you are the reason my father died!" the man bellowed.As he said that, a woman rushed up to the corpse and bega
Dustin said calmly, "You claim you're from the Food and Drug Administration, but you don't even have an arrest warrant. So, on what basis are you arresting her?""That's true! You can seize the drugs, but you have no right to arrest her!" Matteo was quick to react.Every department had its responsibilities. It was true that matters of medical products were under the control of the Food and Drug Administration. However, they had no authority to arrest people."You've broken the law. As a governmental department, we are responsible for taking charge!" the bald man declared."Oh, drop the act, will you? We didn't break any laws. Besides, even if we did, it's not your place to arrest us." Dustin remained cool as a cucumber."How dare you?" The bald man glared at Dustin, feeling his authority challenged. He shouted in frustration, "Hey, bastard! I'm warning you, you better not obstruct us, or we'll arrest you too!""Arrest me? Do you have the authority to do that?" Dustin scoffed.
At that moment, Mr. Zagatti was shocked and flustered about what to do. Never in his dreams had he expected the Dawson family to be involved in this matter, too.After all, the Dawson family ranked second among Oakvale's eight great families, only second to the Langfords.The Dawsons were the leading group in the medication field. Even the head of the Food and Drug Administration was backed by them. As a manager in the department, how would he dare cross the Dawson family?His lips trembled as he said fearfully, "M-Mr. Dawson, there must be some sort of misunderstanding going on! "The Dawson family is a role model of the entire industry, having a great reputation throughout the years. There's no way you'd break the law knowingly!""Is that so? Then what about the issue with Dew Balm? Weren't you about to arrest people just a while ago?" Bo asked frostily."No, no, no! That was just a misunderstanding!"Mr. Zagatti was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. "The Foo
"They've got concrete evidence! What else do you need to look into?" Eleanor challenged with displeasure."Arrest them right now, or I'll sue you for abuse of power! This is an order!""What?" Mr. Zagatti frowned, his expression darkened."Mr. Zagatti, look around you. Countless pairs of eyes are watching, and reporters are also present. Are you really going to cover up for these people?" Ezra demanded sharply."Well …" Mr. Zagatti found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place.Though he dared not offend the Dawsons, the power of public opinion was equally as formidable. If any exaggerated news were to be reported, it would make things very messy for him."Ezra Swanson, you better watch your words, or I'll sue you for defamation," Bo said calmly."Mr. Dawson, this is something between us and the Camrons. Please do not interfere," Ezra said."The Dawson family and the Camron family are now allies. Dew Balm is a joint production between both families. Do you think that I ca
When Elara took out the final evidence, the middle-aged man fell on his knees in despair.Had it just been the insurance records, he could have worm his way out. But now that they found the poison, and it even had his fingerprints on it, there was nothing else he could say to save himself."So it turns out that this bastard had lied! How despicable!""He even murdered his own father! Does he have no conscience?""A beast! He's a beast through and through!"The onlookers who had gathered around began berating and condemning him.They had thought that the victim had died due to the products of the vile sellers, but the man had intentionally framed them. And the worst part was that he was evil enough to harm his own father! Not even an animal would do something like that. It was downright inhumane!"What a good-for-nothing!" Eleanor muttered under her breath with her brows furrowed. Not only had he failed to accomplish his purpose, he even left behind such important evidence. I
"Bo, what exactly have the Camrons offered you? Why are you helping them?" Eleanor asked with her brows furrowed."I have always stood up for people in unjust situations. Do you have a problem with that?" Bo lifted his chin and looked down his nose at them."There are never lasting enemies, Bo; Only lasting interests. No matter what benefits the Camrons have offered you; the Welch family will offer you double!" Eleanor tried to strike a deal with Bo."Double?" Bo chuckled at that, and a hint of contempt crept into his smile."Truth be told, I'm the biggest shareholder of Dew Balm. I hold 40% of the shares. So, if you were to double that, that'd be 80%. Are you able to afford that?""What?" When she heard that, Eleanor's expression soured.She had assumed that Bo had been offered some form of benefit to assist the Camrons. It hadn't occurred to her that they had formed such an alliance. It was impossible to get Bo to side with them now."So this is how it is." Ezra frowned, his
