Chapter 483: Two Billion Vanished

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2024-6-22

Layla and Lilia walked to the door, turning on their phones as they stepped outside.
“How did Bobby get involved with Rose? And he’s willing to offend us for her,” Lilia said, her face full of suspicion and a hint of anger in her eyes.
She still didn’t believe that the Swanson Group was in serious trouble. Turning to Layla, she started discussing Bobby.
Layla was equally puzzled and shook her head.
“Miss Hussain, where is Mr. Swanson?” At that moment, Madeline suddenly appeared at the entrance of the estate, looking anxious.
Lilia was displeased with Madeline’s abruptness and coldly asked, “Why are you looking for Mr. Swanson?”
“Acebegron Clear Relief has exploded!” Madeline shouted in terror, disregarding her composure.
What!
Acebegron Clear Relief had a major issue!
Boom!
It felt like a thunderclap.
Lilia’s vision went dark, and her mind went blank.
By now, both of their phones had powered on. As people associated with Braiden, some suppliers who couldn’t reach him had sent calls and messages to Lilia’s phone.
The notification sounds came like raindrops.
Acebegron Clear Relief had a problem.
Sixteen thousand severe cases!
The Swanson Group’s stock price crashed!
Medical authorities and related departments sealed off the Swanson Group!
Suppliers and distributors were frantically searching for Braiden!
One shocking piece of news after another bombarded Lilia’s eyes. She felt weak all over, nearly dropping her phone.
She had deep cooperation with Braiden!
Their businesses were intertwined.
Otherwise, Braiden wouldn’t have been so eager to help when Lilia lost billions last time.
The order from Acebegron Clear Relief was worth tens of billions.
She had hoped to use this massive order to cover her losses.
But Acebegron Clear Relief exploded!
And it was a catastrophic explosion!
Sixteen thousand severe cases!
The Swanson Group was finished, and the Hussain Group would also be hit hard!
Layla’s phone was also blowing up.
Apart from inquiries from several major business owners about the Swanson Group’s situation, most messages were from the medical community.
Sixteen thousand severe cases were incurable. The National Traditional Medicine Clinic and various renowned doctors were gathering in Niarak to study a solution together.
As a prodigy in the medical field, Layla also received an invitation from the National Traditional Medicine Clinic.
Unable to reach her directly, they sent the information to her phone instead.
Details about the patients’ symptoms, the pathogenic mechanism of Acebegron Clear Relief, and toxicology test results…
As Layla browsed through the materials, her expression grew increasingly grave, even showing a hint of panic.
She could treat them, but it would take half a month.
In half a month, the 300, 000 patients injected with Acebegron Clear Relief would likely all be dead!
“Layla, we must save the patients’ lives; only then will the Swanson family have a glimmer of hope!”
“Do you have any solutions?” Lilia pinned her hopes on Layla.
For the first time, Layla felt defeated and shook her head:
“My prescription requires half a month. Those severe cases probably won’t last until tomorrow noon.”
Lilia staggered, her mind buzzing in chaos.
Even Layla had no solution; weren’t those sixteen thousand severe cases doomed?
The Swanson Group was finished!
The Hussain Group was finished!
The alliance of three families was finished!
Madeline heard this and tears streamed down her face.
The situation was too severe. The Swanson Group’s stock price hit rock bottom; hundreds of billions vanished into thin air. Her two billion also turned into bubbles.
Only by saving the severe cases could they mitigate the impact. If tens of thousands died, compensation alone would be astronomical; selling off the Swanson Group wouldn’t cover it all.
Braiden would rot in prison for life, and Madeline would never recover her two billion investment.
But if even Layla had no solution, could this disease be cured?
Unless a miracle happened.
Thinking of this, Madeline’s eyes suddenly lit up. She urgently said:
“Miss Woods, I saw Mr. Price at Crimson Star Hotel this morning. Please ask him for help; I’m begging you!”
“Mr. Price? This morning?” Layla frowned slightly.
Why has Mr. Price been appearing frequently in Niarak recently?
Madeline quickly nodded:
“Yes! I saw him with my own eyes; I’m sure it was Mr. Price.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask President Bobby; he was with Mr. Price at that time!”
“It seemed like they were thanking Mr. Price for curing Mrs. Sheppard.”
“Oh right, Flynn was also there! You can ask him!”
Hearing this, Layla squinted slightly.
No wonder when she called Mrs. Sheppard this morning about her leg being healed; it turned out Mr. Price treated her!
God of War used his connections last time to get Mr. Price involved.
This time he had Mr. Price treat someone from the Sheppard family so Rose could join Dragon Creek Society.
Cruz, your relationship with Rose seems unusual!
Heh, this might be your last time helping her though.
Once Braiden’s report is confirmed, you’ll lose your qualification as God of War.
By then, let’s see what power you have left to call the shots.
“No need to ask; I believe you. Crimson Star Hotel right? I’ll go find Mr. Price!” Layla and Lilia got into their car and headed straight to Crimson Star Hotel.
At that moment, Flynn and Rose also walked out.
“Hmm? Mr. Kaur? Frank is sick?” Flynn looked at several missed calls and voice messages asking for help and was taken aback for a moment.
He didn’t like Frank much but didn’t want Mr. Kaur to worry since Frank was Matteo’s father.
Flynn decided to visit the hospital but suddenly ran into Madeline just as she was leaving.
“Mr. Kaur said your grandfather is sick; Energence Pharmaceuticals has special medicine for it. Come with me to get it!” Flynn said.
“Special medicine?” Madeline was stunned but then coldly replied: “No need, thank you!”
After saying that, she got into her Beetle car and sped away.
She didn’t believe Flynn had special medicine.
If Layla and other renowned doctors couldn’t develop one despite their efforts, even though Flynn had exceptional medical skills, she doubted he could have such capability.
Moreover, she suspected Flynn’s motives.
After their divorce, the Kaur family celebrated loudly at the civil affairs bureau, setting off dozens of boxes of firecrackers.
Flynn must hate the Kaur family deeply.
He’d probably wish for Frank’s death rather than save him!
Maybe he wanted to prescribe wrong medicine to kill Frank!
Now that Layla had gone to find Mr. Price, with him around, this illness would surely be conquered!
Better wait!
However, she didn’t know Mr. Price’s prescription took five days to take effect.
It might work for mild cases but not severe ones!
He was currently searching all over town for Flynn.
Flynn glanced at Madeline’s departing Beetle, shook his head, and stopped caring about the Kaur family’s matters.
He casually called Roman.
“What happened with Mr. Price?”
Roman sighed in relief upon contacting Flynn:
“Mr. Clark finally answered; you must’ve heard about Acebegron Clear Relief; I wrote a prescription…”
“It’s about saving tens of thousands of lives; please set aside past grievances and save these patients!”
He explained everything briefly.
After understanding, Flynn told Roman: “Don’t worry; Energence Pharmaceuticals has already produced 300 thousand boxes of medicine targeting Acebegron Clear Relief’s side effects.”
“You and National Traditional Medicine Clinic’s Mr. Bailey come to Energence Pharmaceuticals; after confirmation, we’ll release this medicine…”
