Chapter 2034 Public Outrage

Upon seeing everything was going smoothly, Orchid gave orders to her subordinates. “Investigate all the incoming and outgoing accounts for this year and compile a list of all the technology patents related to the new medicine.”

All her subordinates sprang into action immediately.

Soon, all the laboratories in the research institute stopped operating. The technical personnel came out, puzzled by everything that was happening.

Colby explained to Peregrine about the ownership structure of the research institute and that Roxanne was not the sole proprietor.

However, Peregrine retorted, “Colby, I'm not well-versed in all this professional jargon. But tell me if Roxanne was responsible for establishing the research institute and subsequent research and development, as well as all the profit-making operations?”

My mentor, Harvey Lambert, built GK Group from scratch with a group of investors. Roxanne has been working under GK Group and has not left the organization. Therefore, all her business activities essentially represent the company!”
