Energence Pharmaceuticals’ conference room.
Rose donned a smart suit and entered with Mr. Price and Mr. Bailey.
Dozens of media representatives stood up collectively.
“Click, click, click!”
Cameras flashed incessantly.
Once the three were seated, the room fell silent. Rose spoke first.
“The Swanson’s Group’s Acebegron Clear Relief has caused a catastrophe, endangering the lives of hundreds of thousands of critically ill patients. On behalf of the Sharp’s Group, I express deep sympathy for this disaster…”
“In fact, this incident could have been completely avoided. When Acebegron Clear Relief was released, we warned Mr. Swanson about its severe side effects, but…”
Rose recounted the situation with a serious expression, filled with regret and helplessness.
Her words were like a dagger to Braiden’s heart.
Exposing Braiden’s obstinacy in public did not seem inappropriate to Rose.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Naturally.
The conference room erupted in an uproar.
“What? Your company warned Swanson Pharmaceuticals, and Mr. Swanson didn’t heed it?”
“Oh my God! So this disaster could have been entirely avoided!”
“Swanson Pharmaceuticals is courting death! Someone warned them, yet they didn’t re-test and instead rushed it to market. How is this different from murder for profit?”
The reporters were furious at Rose’s words.
Rose did not stop them, allowing everyone to vent their anger fully.
Only when the noise began to subside did she slowly speak again:
“Afterwards, our board decided that consumers should not pay for Swanson’s mistakes.”
“So, after failing to persuade Mr. Hill, we began researching a special drug.”
“Through relentless effort, Break Alliance Pill was developed. After repeated tests by our R&D department and confirmation from the National Traditional Medicine Clinic, we are certain that Break Alliance Pill can cure critically ill patients without toxic side effects!”
“Now, let’s hear from Mr. Price and Mr. Bailey.”
Mr. Price took the microphone and introduced Break Alliance Pill.
Mr. Bailey also added some details.
The scene was boiling over.
Energence Pharmaceuticals had developed a special drug!
And it was certified by the authoritative National Traditional Medicine Clinic!
It must be effective!
Everyone was saved!
This news spread like wildfire through Ostrad via live broadcast.
The nation was thrilled!
People were crying tears of joy.
Energence Pharmaceuticals became deeply ingrained in everyone’s hearts as a savior.
“However… due to the complex manufacturing process and stringent conditions, the price is relatively high.”
“The cost per box exceeds $100, 000.”
“But to treat critical illnesses, Energence Pharmaceuticals has decided to sell it at cost price! We don’t intend to make a profit!”
$100, 000?
If it can save lives, who cares about millions?
Anyway, the disaster caused by Swanson Pharmaceuticals would be paid for by Swanson’s Group!
No one cared about the price.
“This is a conscientious company! Ms. Sharp is like a living Bodhisattva, saving everyone from suffering; it’s so moving!”
“Compared to Ms. Sharp, Braiden is simply a demon on earth and should be executed!”
“Energence Pharmaceuticals foresaw this; they are truly conscientious!”
After Rose’s press conference, Swanson Pharmaceuticals’ image plummeted into an abyss.
Meanwhile, Energence Pharmaceuticals emerged as a savior and was elevated to divine status by the public.
Praise poured in.
Without Break Alliance Pill, hundreds of thousands would die, and millions of families would suffer the pain of separation by death.
Sharp’s Group deserved immense credit!
Of course, this was still speculation since Break Alliance Pill had not yet hit the market.
But Rose undoubtedly garnered significant goodwill; with National Traditional Medicine Clinic endorsing it, the efficacy of the drug was assuredly good.
People saw hope.
Now all eyes turned to Swanson Pharmaceuticals.
After all, $100, 000 per box was extremely expensive.
For Swanson’s Group to save 300, 000 people would cost $30 billion.
But did they have any choice?
“Bang!”
Braiden watched Rose on TV with a calm face as his anger flared up uncontrollably.
He threw his phone at the TV screen.
The screen cracked like a spider web.
“Bitch! Slut! Climbing over my head! It’s you or me now!”
Braiden’s eyes were bloodshot; he was nearly insane.
He wanted a special drug to appear but not in Rose’s hands.
And at such an outrageously high price!
Rose wanted to harvest Swanson’s Group; she was striking while they were down!
Bitch!
All the reporters frowned deeply at this scene.
Even Lilia at home was shocked; Layla shook her head in disbelief.
Had Braiden gone mad?
It was still being broadcast live!
Disgraceful! His image was beyond redemption!
“Sharp’s Group launched a life-saving drug; instead of thanking her, Braiden called her a slut? I think he’s the real scumbag!”
“From today onwards if I ever buy anything from Swanson’s Group again, I’ll be worse than a dog!”
“Braiden, I’ll remember you…”
Viewers in front of their TVs were furious; they wished they could jump into the screen and beat up Braiden.
Of course, no one was more furious than Pablo at Braiden’s disgraceful behavior.
“Bang!”
Pablo kicked Braiden hard and rained punches on him in front of live cameras until he started a full-blown brawl on live TV.
“Kneel down and apologize! Kneel down and apologize to Ms. Sharp!” Pablo roared in rage after beating his son senselessly for several minutes.
Braiden finally came to his senses and regretted his actions deeply.
He had been blinded by anger earlier; now he realized how disgraceful he had been and how his reputation had been ruined entirely.
“Thud!”
Braiden knelt down with his head bowed deeply toward the ground.
“I’m sorry; I acted impulsively. Thank you Ms. Sharp for your righteous rescue; thank you…”
Watching Braiden on screen looking dejected made Lilia’s heart sink completely coldly into despair
Acebegron Clear Relief’s explosion brought Swanson’s Group into ruin while Rose profited immensely
One rise one fall their strengths now matched equally
Layla looked worried deeply furrowing her brows
She couldn’t understand how Rose managed such feat
Nor could she comprehend who developed Break Alliance Pill
Her treatment took half month
Break Alliance Pill only needed one day…
Pablo looked at his kneeling son feeling suddenly aged by decades bowed deeply towards camera
“I apologize on behalf my son Ms Sharp apologize viewers”
“Thank Ms Sharp for timely help now announce patients money can buy first keep receipts medical records report Swanson’s Group reimbursement”
“No money don’t worry allocate funds buy Break Alliance Pill ensure everyone gets special drug…”
Few words drained all Pablo’s strength making him slump into chair eyes hollow lifelessly
One box Break Alliance Pill cost no more than $1000
He knew it!
But he had no choice but swallow bitter pill couldn’t question because anything said now wrong
$30 billion!
Swanson’s Group fell Sharp’s Group feasted…
Spending $30 billion end matter fine!
But Swanson’s Group reputation ruined stock market opening tomorrow company shares surely plunge
Probably hit limit down!
Trillion-dollar valuation evaporate half minimum
Swanson’s Group doomed!
No remedy could save them!
