Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 437 " Don't make your father and me despise you , Danny . We are not ingrates . We are not bastards ! " The video ended . Silence fell over the crowd . Tears streaked the faces of several older folks and parents who felt the weight of Charles ' words . The younger ones stood frozen , unable to speak . On the other hand , the news influencers were dumbstruck . " Who could've seen this coming ? " one of them muttered . " The boss never said this might happen ! What do we do now ? " One influencer snapped out of it first . " Who cares what the boss said ?

If this is real , we're the ones breaking the story . That means clicks , ad revenue , money - way more than whatever that guy promised us ! " " Oh , you're right , sis ! " Grifters like them knew no loyalty . The moment they spotted a viral story and the money behind it , they switched sides without hesitation . Now , they were suddenly Sleeping Giant's loudest cheerleaders , praising the company as if they'd never done otherwise . Dan , who had been standing in shock at the edge of the crowd , suddenly pushed his way forward . " I'm sorry ! I didn't know it would go this far !

The man told me Charles would only lose consciousness for a bit , with no lasting harm ! " He broke down , his voice cracking . " I can't accept your compensation , Mr. Grimwald ! I'm a bastard - trash ! I don't deserve it ! " The large man was sobbing like a boy . I placed a hand on his shoulder . He looked up , trembling . " S - Sir ? " I smiled . " Dan , you've always worked hard . You're not a bastard. You're just a good man who got manipulated . Didn't I say that I wouldn't hold this against you ? I meant that .

How could I blame someone who acted out of love for family , even when it tore at his conscience ? " I gave his shoulder another firm pat . " Now wipe those ugly tears . Just tell me the name of the bastard who backed you into this corner . I'll take care of it . " Dan's eyes filled with gratitude . Then , as if gathering all his courage , he turned to the cameras . " I'm Dan Lowe , an employee of Sleeping Giant . I want to make this clear ! There's nothing wrong with our medicine . The only poisoning case during the clinical trial was a setup ! " Fury burned in his expression .

" That man promised me an astronomical payout if I could ruin Sleeping Giant's reputation and turn public opinion against it . " My mistake was agreeing , and it nearly destroyed one of the best companies I've ever known . Charles was right . I shouldn't have acted like an ingrate . So I'm confessing everything . This is my conversation with the 1/2 Chapter 437 M: +25 Bonus saboteur . " Dan held up his phone for the journalists . The chat thread had no profile picture , but it was filled with detailed plans of the scheme . At the end was an address - a villa in the suburbs .

" Take a picture of this ! Whoever gets there first is gonna ride the biggest wave of clicks ! " someone shouted . The media swarmed forward , snapping photos .
