Marjorie gasped so hard she nearly dropped her phone on the floor.
"What is it? What happened?" Frederick asked, leaning forward with sudden interest.
"My idol replied!" She scrambled to secure her grip on the device.
"Let's see what they said..."
"What could they possibly say?" Frederick shrugged casually.
The joint botanical reserve had suffered a catastrophic failure, and their new drug had severe delayed defects.
It was painfully obvious that Aria and the Hale Group lacked the technical expertise, rushed the process for quick cash, and placed blind faith in the solution provided by Schrödinger's Pill.
Schrödinger's Pill was a legend in recent years, an undeniable genius who had successfully led countless research initiatives and solved major industry bottlenecks.
However, placing blind trust in a stranger online was a fatal rookie mistake. And Aria was paying the ultimate price for it.
Still, Frederick did not believe for a second that Schrödinger's Pill was a corporate spy.
The industry rumors claimed Schrödinger's Pill only ever met with the Carter Group offline. Regardless of their relationship, a genius with that kind of reputation had absolutely no motive to target someone like Aria.
Aria simply wasn't worthy of their attention. Her studio was too new, and despite her recent aggressive marketing, the seasoned players saw her as nothing more than a flashy amateur. Unless there was some deep-seated, personal vendetta, it would be utterly beneath Schrödinger's Pill to waste time plotting against her.
Moreover, according to Marjorie, the consultation thread had been opened long before Aria even got her hands on the serum.
Unless Schrödinger's Pill was a psychic who had laid a trap in advance, how could they have possibly known Aria would be the one to ask?
*If you refuse to admit you are a spy, then you will issue a public apology to the entire global pharmaceutical industry. You will confess that you are a complete fraud with zero real talent, and that you do not deserve the title of a genius!*
Her attacks grew increasingly venomous.
More and more industry professionals flocked to the thread, either dropping their own technical analyses or simply watching the drama unfold in silence.
A few moments later, the eagerly waiting crowd finally saw a new notification from Schrödinger's Pill.
This time, contrary to everyone's expectations, Schrödinger's Pill did not rely on a short, dismissive quip. Instead, every word dripped with sharp, devastating contempt.
They delivered a highly detailed, irrefutable breakdown of the situation:
*Ms. Aria Royce, owner of Aria's Creative Studio. I harbor deep sympathy for your current predicament. However, my sympathy does not grant you the right to spew malicious lies and twist the truth.*
