Chapter 55 Counterfeit Product
The Teaching and Research Office on the second floor was packed with students.
Most had come because their teachers recommended the product.
The two boxes Director Reed had brought were already sold out.
Students who still wanted some were lining up to register their names.
He had promised that once more stock arrived, he would personally deliver bottles to every classroom.
“Don’t worry!”
“Everyone who registers can head back first. You’ll all get one eventually!”
Director Reed beamed as he instructed several teachers to organize the crowd.
We’ve struck gold this time.
We’re making a fortune.
Iris walked straight to the front of the line and glanced at the densely packed registration sheet.
“Director Reed, I have a question.”
Hugh Reed was busy writing names and didn’t even bother looking up.
“Make it quick. There are still plenty of students waiting behind you.”
Iris’s gaze landed on the bottles stacked beside him.
“This medicine doesn’t even come with instructions.”
“How can you prove it’s a genuine product from Lytton Pharmaceuticals?”
Director Reed’s breathing hitched, guilt flashing across his face.
“I’m a teacher myself. Why would I harm my students? Normally there would be instructions included, but this came through an unreleased internal channel. Of course the packaging isn’t as polished.”
“What about the dosage?” Iris asked.
“At most two bottles a day. If you’re anemic or deficient in trace elements, you can even drink/5

an extra bottle.”
Smash!
Iris’s expression turned icy as she threw the glass bottle in her hand onto the floor.
The sharp sound echoed throughout the office.
The noisy crowd of students instantly fell silent.
Director Reed stopped writing and finally looked up at her.

“Two bottles a day can cause diarrhea in mild cases and unconsciousness in severe cases. And you’re willing to make dirty money like this?”
Director Reed slammed his pen onto the desk.
“What class are you from? Stop spreading nonsense!”
“How dare you question a product from Lytton Pharmaceuticals?”
The company had assured him that the formula was replicated exactly from Lytton Pharmaceuticals’ unreleased oral solution. There couldn’t possibly be any mistakes.
Keke happened to be in line as well and immediately chimed in.
“Exactly!”
“You don’t know anything and you’re embarrassing yourself! You’re even spreading rumors about Lytton Pharmaceuticals!”
“If you don’t want to buy it, then stop trying to scare everyone else!”
After her interruption, the other students started feeling she had a point.
Of course they should trust Director Reed.
What could Iris, a student, possibly know?
Besides, Lytton Pharmaceuticals wasn’t her company.
“I am an authorized representative of Lytton Pharmaceuticals,” Iris said calmly. “And Lytton Pharmaceuticals has never partnered with Capital Preparatory Academy.”
“If you don’t want the symptoms I just described, don’t drink it for now.”
If she didn’t clarify things immediately, any problems that surfaced among the students in the

coming days would inevitably be blamed on Lytton Pharmaceuticals.
Cleaning up the public relations nightmare afterward would be troublesome.

She needed to find out what was happening as quickly as possible.
Director Reed felt a little uneasy after hearing her words.
But then he thought about it.
Lytton Pharmaceuticals was a massive corporation. How could they possibly appoint a high school senior as an authorized representative?
Could she simply be targeting him because Mason Reed had bullied her before?
He was about to argue further, but Iris had already turned around and left.
She didn’t even spare him a glance.
“What arrogance!”
Director Reed sat down with the help of two students and took a sip of water.
“Ignore her. Anyone who trusts me can continue filling out the registration form.”
He had already reached an agreement with the other company.
They would reproduce Lytton Pharmaceuticals’ unreleased oral solution formula, and he would receive thirty percent of the profits.
This deal alone would earn him a substantial kickback.
The company was probably afraid of Stellar Venture, which stood behind Lytton
Pharmaceuticals. That was why they only dared to sell in a small place like Capital Preparatory Academy, where nobody would notice.
After thinking it over, most students remained in line.
Only a few students from Foundation Class, who had originally come to watch the drama, left without hesitation,
They trusted Iris more.
After school, Iris asked Axel for another bottle of the counterfeit oral solution and brought it to the research institute for overnight testing.
Soon, a message arrived from Zane.

“Boss, I found it!”
“The problem originated in the R&D department. An employee stole the formula before resigning and took it to a new company.”
“I’ve sent you the company’s name.”
At that moment, Iris was standing beside the researchers while they analyzed the contents.
“The formula itself is correct…”
The researcher stared at the report in disbelief.
“But during synthesis, they converted the left-handed isomer into the right-handed one!”
