"You! Joseph, you're really choosing hoes before bros. Kathy's not a flower in a greenhouse. You should let her exercise more on her own!" Johnson said in a deep voice.
"Of course I'll let her exercise herself. What do you worry about? You make up for the trouble that is caused by yourself." Joseph said indifferently.
Johnson couldn't retort to him and hung up the phone in a huff.
Looking at the file in front of him, Joseph dialed John's number, "What's Billy been up to the last two days?"
"As soon as he got off the plane today, he arranged for his assistant to go over to People's Hospital and visit the patients who were sick from substance abuse."
"What kind of substance abuse?" Joseph narrowed his eyes.
"I haven't found out yet. It's supposed to be a drug developed by the Hilton Group." John replied.
"Find out right away." Joseph scowled.
It had been a week since the news broke that MT Medicine was being questioned as a fake drug. NCHV Medical Company had been making various responses on a daily basis. Today's press conference was to officially clarify the news.
All the key people in charge of the development and sales of MT Medicine were there, and Kathy had been unable to reach Alexia, who still had her statement.
Johnson came in early. When he saw Kathy, he said in a deep voice, "No word from Alexia yet?"
Kathy shook her head and saw Johnson's face change.
If it weren't for him, Alexia wouldn't be missing right now.
"Does Mr. Johnson have no idea where she is either?" Kathy said indifferently.
Johnson's face sank, and irritation grew under his eyes.
"You'll speak up for Alexia later. I'll take care of the rest."
Kathy paused. Her palms kept sweating as she looked at the statement in her hand and thought of the reporters she would have to face later.
Some images from the past came to her mind.
"Kathy, elaborate on the paper's description of the use of magnesium stearate in nasal medication."
"Your elaboration is completely at odds with the meaning expressed in the paper. I now suspect that your thesis was not written by you."
"Up to a hundred percent duplication. Where did you plagiarize your thesis from?"
"..."
Question after question sounded in her ears. Kathy's vision blurred in the face of the dozens of teachers sitting in front of her.
"Kathy, your thesis defense will not be approved."
"Kathy, you even dared to plagiarize your graduation thesis. The school won't let you graduate now..."
...
"Kathy!" A deep voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Kathy came back to her senses.
Her face was already pale. She looked up and saw Johnson's serious face.
"Do you remember everything I just said?"
Kathy was confused. What did Johnson just say?
"Okay, go get ready. Remember to watch your mouth later."
After that, Johnson walked into the ballroom.
Kathy bowed her head and held the statement in her hand tightly. She took deep breaths but could not calm down.
She turned around and walked in. There were already quite a few reporters in the ballroom, as many as hundreds. Johnson was already surrounded by reporters. And the scenes later would only be more sensational.
"Kathy, here we are again." There was a familiar voice from behind her.
Kathy frowned and didn't turn around.
