Chapter 270 Rumors Circulating
“And Mr. Kallum was bitten by Sterling! Sterling was immediately isolated. For so long, the Wolford family- had not had any accidents, but the Fairchild family had trouble. It seems Mr. Kallum is indeed infected, just hanging on by a thread as the rumors say…
“If that is true, the Fairchild family is going too far. They secretly researched the K Virus for a cure and hid his condition! It is like they do not care about others‘ lives!”
“Anyway, it is better for us to stay indoors for a while. Those who got infected have all gathered at Fairchild Manor now. I heard that some of the servants taking care of them were even infected. If the state had not acted swiftly, it could have caused a widespread outbreak! These rich folks only care about themselves!”
Such conversations spread throughout the city. Many people, swayed by public opinion, firmly believed the K Virus originated from the Fairchild family. Some even protested at companies under the Fairchild Group, only to be suppressed.

Another woman sobbed, “My daughter worked hard before she finally became a top reporter. Every time, she spoke well of the Fairchild family. But how do they treat her? If the Fairchild family does not explain, we will not let the matter rest!”

“Recently, only the Fairchild family has had frequent contact with the K Virus. Who else could it be?”
“Bring out Kallum! My son only has a month to live. If he dies, I will not live either! The Fairchild family has brought ruin upon us. We will not let you off the hook!”
Wanda was so upset by the sudden outbreak that she fell ill. Silas had been on the phone non–stop, his furrowed brow never relaxing.
“Those troublemakers will not leave, and if this isn’t resolved soon, it’ll be a huge blow to the company. Many shareholders have been calling, and we…”
