Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 423 " No ! He was on camera the whole time ! " Jeanine said , shaking her head . " So I'm with you on this , Mr. Grimwald . I don't think it's him ! " Then who could it be ? 1 frowned in thought . " Keep the investigation going . Something must've happened when the camera went dark . But we won't know the truth until that volunteer wakes up . " Jeanine's expression turned grim . " But ... what happened during the trial is already all over social media ! Public opinion formed faster than I expected .

" By the time we uncover anything - or that volunteer wakes up and decides to support us - the public will already have their story . Our plan to conquer the pharma industry might not survive this ! " She quickly held out her phone . News of the poisoning had spread everywhere . Reporters had already swarmed the hospital , desperate for a headline . I froze , realization dawning . " Son of a bitch , " I muttered , a bitter laugh escaping me . " This is exactly what he wanted . A low blow ... With this , our project's as good as dead .

And since we financed it through loans , the debt - on top of falling sales - will bleed us dry . Whoever's behind this wants Sleeping Giant to stay asleep forever , " I reasoned . " Exactly ! " Jeanine said , her face pale . " I'm afraid it might already be too late to turn things around ... " She had never imagined a company that had soared so high could crumble this fast . Was this the end of Sleeping Giant ? I leaned back and said , " Who says we need to turn around ? " Jeanine blinked , stunned . " What ? " " You're right about the situation , " I said calmly .

" But we don't need to fix it . Every crisis is a chance for a breakthrough . Bad publicity is still publicity . " Jeanine stared at me , speechless . " Just follow my lead , " I said with a smirk . " They think they've cornered us ? No. We'll use this against them . We'll launch our product now and have the legal team draft a commercial general liability policy . Anyone who takes our drug and suffers proven side effects gets 28,000 dollars in compensation , no matter how mild . " Jeanine's shock melted into awe . " That's brilliant , Mr. Grimwald .

The enemy's trying to scare people away , but with this guarantee , plenty will take the risk for that payout . And once they see how effective our drug is, they'll become our best advocates . " As for the ones faking symptoms ... the doctors will expose them , and that'll only strengthen public trust in us . " She paused , her voice softening . " But I still have one last question , sir .
