Chapter 784 It Is Over
Before long, Nicholas received a call from Harrison, the person he appointed to take charge of Leighton Pharmaceutical whenever he wasn’t around. He picked up the call without a second thought.
“Sir, something’s happened at the company! The authorities suddenly showed up for a series of inspections and found that the company’s the one behind the inferior products!”
Explaining everything in an agitated voice, Harrison told Nicholas that it was over for both the Leighton family and Leighton Pharmaceutical.
Apart from that, now that the Leighton family’s shady deeds were exposed, it was only a matter of time before they were all thrown behind bars.
As the mastermind of the shady trades, Nicholas was certain that it would be the end for him if he were to be thrown behind bars in his mid-sixties.

a mess.
Pointing at his son, Nicholas was so angry to the point that he couldn’t find the right word to berate him with.
