The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 220 Lex stormed off.

Tommy wore a scheming look on his face.

Thea and her family did not stay at the hospital for long and returned home.

Im so pissed.

Upon reaching home, David broke into a fit of rage.

Its obvious theyre trying to frame Thea.

It has to be Howard and his family.

After Thea became the chairman, they lost all opportunities of embezzling the companys funds.

And so, theyre trying to bring her down.

James took a seat and said coldly, That should be obvious enough.

Thea looked at James and asked, How did you know something was wrong with the medicine? James replied, Im a doctor, after all.

I can tell a patients condition just by taking their pulse, and I noticed they all consumed the same medicine.

That means it wasnt outsiders targeting Eternality hospital.

Rather, its someone in the family.

Besides, they only switched some of the medicine for substandard ones as they didnt want things to get out of control.

After all, the medicine isnt fatal.

It just causes allergic reactions.

W-What about the old man? James explained, Although the medicine doesnt kill, it has to have a connection with his death.

So, I chose to pay compensation to hush them up.

Fortunately, the public was convinced it was a publicity stunt, and the deceaseds family chose to leave.

Or else, Eternalitys reputation wouldve been ruined.

I didnt embezzle the companys funds.

Ive never used substandard and expired medicine.

I believe you, Thea.

Leave the investigation to me.

Forget it.

You should just stay out of this.

Lex has ordered Howard to look into the matter.

I believe hell prove our innocence.

James smiled coldly.

Prove our innocence? Even David could see they were targeting us.

Did you seriously think he would help us out? Hed surely shift the blame onto you and hold you responsible for this when the time comes.

W-What should we do, then? Thea, youre the chairman.

Conduct an investigation yourself.

Screen those in contact with the medicine to find out where and what went wrong.

Hmm.

James nodded.

He didnt expect David, good-for-nothing trash, to have some brains.

Thea contemplated and said, Ill investigate the matter first thing the next morning.

James, thank you.

The Callahans reputation wouldve been ruined if it werent for you.

Gladys was grateful toward James.

When the crowd started heckling, the Callahans panicked and sought shelter inside the building Lex, on the other hand, tried to use his connections to resolve the crisis.

Only James was clear-headed.

He chose to solve the problem in the simplest way.

If things escalated, ten million dollars would not have been enough.

Although the public criticized the publicity stunt, it was a much better option than having to admit to using substandard and expired medicine.

James smiled and pulled Theas arm.

Dont worry.

Everything will be fine.

The road to success is paved with obstacles, after all.

Mhm.

Thea nodded.

At the same time, at the Callahans villa, Lex was sitting on the sofa smoking his cigarette.

Tommy and Megan were fanning the flames as they tried to shift the blame onto Thea.

Grandpa, its obvious Thea was behind this.

She first bought substandard medicine at a low price and pocketed the profits made herself.

Then, she colluded with outsiders to swindle money out of the family.

The old man did not die of our medicine.

Now, weve given out ten million dollars just like that.

The money mustve gone into Theas pockets by now.

Yes, grandpa.

Ever since Thea became the chairman, shes been misappropriating the companys funds.

Now, not much remains in the companys account.

If theres a liquidity crunch, the Callahans will be in deep trouble.

They chimed in now and then.

Grandpa, in my opinion, Theas not qualified to be the chairman.

Even if she has the connections, the company will be ruined if we allow her to do as she please.

Lex, of course, understood this.
