With one hand on the steering wheel, Ned pulled his necktie to calm himself before calling Trevor, the head of the legal department of Fletcher Corporation.
"Mr. Marshall, Vitality Biotech Group's formula was accidentally leaked from us. Please look through the contract and see if there's any way we can deal with it."
Ned threw his phone to the side after hanging up the phone. He then stepped on the accelerator and rushed toward Ingrid's apartment in Krontos.
Ned's phone call gathered everyone in the legal department, where they worked overnight to study the contract for any countermeasures.
The whole legal department was panicking. The contract stated if the collaboration with Vitality Biotech Group was successful, they would involve Fletcher Corporation in their next cancer treatment development project.
The legal department was happy for Fletcher Corporation because of this. They thought it was finally time for Fletcher Corporation to rise. No one would've thought Tommy had made a big mess and ruined their dreams.
If they couldn't find a way to settle this, all of them would lose their job.
For many years, they had covered up for Tommy, Ned's future cousin-in-law. However, this time, Tommy had leaked Vitality Biotech Group's formula.
Fletcher Corporation had signed a non-disclosure agreement with Vitality Biotech Group. Given the compensation was more than 30 billion dollars, they would be paying them their whole company.
Ned arrived and entered Ingrid's apartment after entering the password to the door. He saw Tommy drinking on the couch with a drunk look.
Tommy stood up wobbly as he saw Ned. "Hey, Ned…"
Ned walked toward Tommy with a bitter face and kicked him to the ground.
