From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chapter 461: Crime

Whitespire Tech collapsed with incredible speed.

Less than half an hour after the scandal broke, the Kennet Police Department posted a news update about a theft case.

As soon as people saw it, they immediately connected it to the topics trending online that day.

Countless people flooded the comments section of Whitespire Tech’s social media pages to "send their regards."

Some even came forward to share their own experiences, and one of them was Aaron Archer.

Aaron Archer only had a little over five thousand followers on social media, most of whom were bot accounts, so his influence wasn’t significant.

However, in the discussion thread for the trending topic, Aaron Archer’s comment directly exposed Whitespire Tech’s crimes.

Six months ago, Aaron Archer had just graduated and joined Whitespire Tech. At first, everything seemed normal.

But after a manager learned of his academic achievements, they started making a point of getting close to him, showing extra concern for his well-being.

Aaron Archer initially found the manager very approachable and was happy to chat with them and share his thoughts on his research.

Before long, however, the company’s malicious intentions began to surface.

His manager first assigned Aaron Archer to research biopharmaceuticals, offering him the utmost support, both verbally and financially.

He had never imagined the company would invest in him so heavily, so he threw himself into his work. Three months later, he successfully developed an inhibitor drug.

Just as Aaron Archer was preparing to write his research paper, his manager approached him again. This time, they cut right to the chase, telling him to credit his supervisor as the primary author.

Naturally, Aaron Archer refused. He had developed the inhibitor drug entirely on his own; aside from a few assistants, no one else had participated in the project.

After repeated threats from his manager, Aaron Archer decided he would resign as soon as he published his paper. But to his shock, just three days later, an article appeared online that was ninety percent identical to his own research. It caused a minor sensation, and the primary author listed was the exact supervisor his manager had mentioned.

He hadn’t resigned yet, so he furiously confronted his manager, only to be handed a termination notice.

Aaron Archer tried to pursue legal action, sending a letter from his lawyer and attempting to file a civil suit, but he was stymied by a lack of evidence.
